preferences 1 Keurig KSelect This machine is a great option if youre looking for an Keurig coffeemaker that doesnt have all the bells whistles and features of the more expensive models It is easy to

provides T discs for tea and hot chocolate as well We found the coffee it made to be of a excellent quality though just a little less than some of the other pod machines featured in this roundup It also gave a smooth mouthfeel and steaming milk for a caffe lattes quickly However it should be not forgotten that the frothy milk made from T Discs has sugar which is although not a major problem in itself however may not be to everyones liking The Tassimo My Way is easy to clean with the drip tray the removable components of the brewing unit and the water tank all being dishwashersafe Theres a

milk jug Place a pod into the machine select your cup size and the machine whirs into action making espresso lungo double espresso gran lungo alto and mug drinks with a thick layer of silky froth Similar to most pod machines you load a pod through a hatch at the top of the machine and drop it into place The machine punctures the capsule then closes it When you pull the lever the pod will fall into a specially spent Pod tray underneath the drip tray Its not the fastest way to make espresso it takes 30 seconds for a single shot and 90 seconds for the lungo However the results are always amazing with a rich smooth flavor and a great crema The machine also warns you when the water tank or pod bin is in need of refilling One of the main selling points for this machine is that it can use it with any Lavazza brand pod Seven pods are available in all including espresso ground Qualita Rossa Intenso Passionale and Delizioso two decaffeinated Dek Cremoso and two organic coffees Tierra Bio The pod coffee maker isnt inexpensive but if you combine it with pod delivery services it can cost similar to the cost of a regular beanto cup machine The machines slim design means it can be tucked away in the smallest kitchens Additionally the pods themselves are compostable which means you can place them into your councils food waste bins or own garden compost 4 Nespresso Vertuo Pod Machine Nespresso machines make some of the top pods coffee makers for those who are looking for a reliable quick and consistently brewed cup They heat quickly and are extremely simple to usejust insert a capsule press the button and youre done They also create a rich crema that you can add to your drinks to add thickness and flavor The official pods are not inexpensive and youll need to purchase them pod and capsule coffee machines is a different machine than the OriginalLine machines which make use of espresso capsules The Vertuo line reads the barcode on each capsule and adjusts the brewing parameters to produce the perfect cup They also have a centrifusion machine which spins the capsules to get the best flavor and thickest crema That said that the machines arent as userfriendly as our other picks For instance the lid is only opened when the machine is ready and it takes 30 seconds to heat up enough to put in the capsule The machine doesnt come with the milk frother like some of the other pod machines on this list Therefore youll need spend an extra PS90 to purchase a separate Aeroccino to make cappuccinos and lattes They also require more frequent maintenance than other models refilling the water tank emptying used pod containers and decaling However they have an app that reminds you of these tasks and offers tools like store locators and capsule recycling And if you connect your machine to an IntelliPort you can control it with voice commands which is a great feature if youre making coffee in the dark at 4am or have limited hand strength 5 SMEG Barista Pod

SMEG is known for and the ability to make espresso and lungo drinks with ease It has a programmable setting for the shot twoheight drip tray and a removable pod bin This coffee maker makes it easy to make oneshot or doubleshot espresso in the morning or for a lungo during breaks at work The simple control panel is elegant and doesnt hinder its purpose If you want to spruce your daily coffee even more it comes with three filter baskets that can allow for different capsule types You can even use ground beans that are loose although youll need to own a separate grinder The SMEG Barista Pod Machine doesnt have a milk pitcher however it does come with an inbuilt Pannarello milk frother that froths both soymilk and cowmilk nicely It also has a 51mm portafilter which is smaller than a conventional commercialstyle filter Its pressurised which is great because it eliminates the stale lingering grind taste It comes with a plastic tamper which can also be used as spoon The SMEG is among the most expensive pod machines weve reviewed but its definitely worth it if youre a fan of the retro style or like the ability to quickly whip up espressobased drinks Its also a great option
