The Best Pod Coffee MachinesWith pod coffee makers, you just place a sealed capsule with ground or roasted beans into the machine. The coffee is poured through the machine for a specified amount of time.Some pod coffee makers come with various sizes of cups and a built-in filter and milk ability to froth. The ideal pod maker for you will depend on your lifestyle and your personal preferences.1.

When not in use, it can be easily tucked into a corner in the kitchen.The machine is noisy however it's not a major problem. It's also small enough to be able to fit on a small counter.

This warranty covers the brewer as well as all original accessories, except for normal wear and tear, damages due to abuse or misuse or any other external cause of failure, such as power outages.2. Tassimo My WayThis is the best option for coffee lovers looking for an appliance that can do more than just making your regular cup. It's designed to create a wide variety of drinks including hot chocolate and tea, and comes with a huge 1.3 Liter water tank that allows you to brew multiple cups at the same time. The machine is warm in only three seconds, and can create an espresso or latte with the built-in milk jug. It also features a touch-sensitive screen that allows you adjust the temperature, intensity, and volume of your drink.The Tassimo My Way uses the brand's T Discs which contain everything you need to make your preferred drink. There are more than 70 kinds that include Kenco, Costa, Milka, and Cadbury's. The machine has a range of T Discs, including those for tea and hot chocolate.The coffee made by this machine was of good quality, though it was a bit lower than the other machines we reviewed. It also gave a smooth mouthfeel, and steam-cooked milk for a caffe lattes in a short time. However, it is to be noted that the frothy milk made from T Discs has sugar, which isn't a huge problem in itself but isn't for everyone's taste.Tassimo My Way's removable components such as the drip tray and the water tank are all dishwasher-safe. A Brita filter is included, as well as a cleaning disk. A handy indicator light will inform you when it's time to descale, and a water tank will keep limescale at the minimum. The machine is Energy Star rated, which reduces its electricity consumption up to 15%.3. Lavazza Lungo Pod MachineThis Nespresso pod coffee machine was designed in collaboration with Sage by Lavazza is among the most attractive machines on the market. The machine is constructed of tough and attractive materials. It has a sleek steam wand that can be adjusted to make cappuccinos or lattes, and a stainless steel milk jug. The machine will brew espresso lungos, double espressos mugs, gran lungos and altos using a thick layer foam.Like most pod machines, you load the pod through a hatch on the top and then drop it into the appropriate spot. The machine pierces the capsule and then closes it so that when you lift the lever, the pod falls into a dedicated spent pod tray beneath the drip tray.It's not the fastest machine to brew in 30 seconds for a shot of espresso and 90 seconds for a lungo however, the results are always impressive, with great crema and a smooth, rich taste. The machine will also alert you when it's time to refill the water tank or pod bin.The main selling point of this machine is that you can use it with any Lavazza-branded pod Seven pods are available in total including ground roasted espresso (Qualita Rossa, Intenso, Passionale and Delizioso), two decaffeinated (Dek Cremoso) and two organic coffees (!Tierra! Bio). The pod coffee maker isn't cheap but if you combine it with a pod delivery subscription, the price can be similar to that of the regular bean-to-cup machine. The compact design of this machine makes it possible to fit into even the smallest kitchens. The pods are also recyclable, so you can put them in your council food bins or garden compost.4. Nespresso Vertuo Pod MachineNespresso machines are among the best pod coffee makers for those who want quick reliable, consistent, and reliable coffee. They heat quickly and are incredibly simple to use--just insert a capsule, push the button, and you're done. They also create a rich crema that you can add to your drinks for added thickness and flavor. They're not cheap, though they are expensive, and you need to purchase their official pods.The Vertuo line utilizes an entirely different method of technology from OriginalLine machines that work with espresso capsules (and still exist). The Vertuo line reads the barcode on each capsule and automatically adjusts the brewing parameters to produce a perfect cup. And they have a centrifusion system that spins the capsule to extract the best flavors and the thickest crema.The machines aren't as intuitive as the other options. The lid opens only when the machine is ready and it takes around 30 seconds for the capsule to warm up. And they don't come with an milk frother, like some of the other pod coffee makers on this list, so you'll need to spend an additional PS90 or so to buy an extra Aeroccino in order to make lattes or cappuccinos.They also require more frequent maintenance than other models--refilling the water tank, emptying old pod containers, and descaling--but they have an application that reminds you of these chores and offers tools like store locators and capsule recycling. If you pair your machine with an IntelliPort you can control it with voice commands. This is ideal if you are making coffee at 4am in the dark or have a limited strength.5. SMEG Barista Pod MachineThis sleek pod coffee machine is the product of a cherished Italian brand and a renowned kitchen appliances company. It features all the retro, sleek curves that SMEG is famous for, as well as the ability to brew espresso and lungo drinks with ease. It also has a shot setting that is programmable as well as dual-height drip trays and a removable pod bin.This coffee maker makes it easy to make an instant cup of single-shot or double-shot espresso in the morning, or to make a lungo during your break at work. The simple control panel makes it look elegant and doesn't take away from the functionality. If you want to spruce up your daily joe even more, it comes with three filter baskets that can accommodate different types of capsules. You can use loose-ground beans (although a separate grinder is required).The SMEG Barista Pod Machine does not come with a milk pitcher. However, it does have a Pannarello built-in milk frother which is able to froth soymilk and cow milk very efficiently. It also has a portafilter of 51mm which is smaller than the typical commercial filter. It's pressurised and this is a plus since it means you won't get that stale, leftover grind taste. It comes with a plastic tamper which also doubles as a spoon.The SMEG is one of the most expensive pod machines on our list, but it's definitely worth it if you're a lover of the retro style or like the ability to quickly whip up espresso-based drinks. This is a great option for those who are new to coffee making and do not want to tackle the burden of measuring, grinding, and tamping the beans yourself.
