One of the Best Pod Coffee Makers on the Market Pod coffee machines have a bit of an unfair reputation for the watery, weak drinks. Fortunately, the best pods can provide more than that. The illy Bruvi makes use of B-Pods, made from treated polypropylene cups that are supposed to degrade in landfill (rather than the dreaded K-Cups and Nespresso pods). It also has bundles of capsule options and easy customisation. 1. Cuisinart DualBrew Pro Specialty Coffee System One of the best pod coffee makers on the market, this drip and single-serve model offers the most comprehensive set of features we tested. It comes with a 12-cup glass carafe that brews traditional grounds and a single-serve side that can accept any kind of K-Cup Keurig-like or reusable pod. The carafe side has an adjustable timer and it has a “strong” setting that provides more flavor than standard settings. It also has a built-in, foldaway frother for cappuccinos and lattes. The single-serve side brews up to 18 ounces per hour with any size of K-Cup, reusable Cuisinart HomeBarista filter cups or ground coffee (a separate water tank is included). It utilizes Nespresso's VertuoLine capsule system, which analyzes the barcode on each pod to adjust the machine's settings to ensure a perfect cup every time. It's faster than a leading Keurig model in making a full-sized pot of brew thanks to its Extreme Brew technology and has advanced functions like a 24-hour brew start, brew strength control and auto shutoff. The device is easy to use despite the fact it has two operating modes. It also cleans up easily. The pod adapter that is reusable, needles, and mesh filter can be easily removed for cleaning. The device is heavy and bulky for counter space but it's a great option for those who desire the convenience of pods, or the versatility of coffee ground. This low-cost cold brew machine creates a smooth, delicious cup. It comes with a timer that can be programmed, a built-in milk frother and a reusable filter and can make 12 cups of java in one go. It has a large reservoir of water and a glass carafe to hold hot beverages. 2. Nespresso VertuoLine Next If you're already bought in to the trend of pod coffee machines and want to upgrade from your Keurig-style machine This is a great option. Nespresso's new espresso maker is sleek, fast and can make five different drinks in one compact chassis. It's available for sale right now which makes it a great choice for those with a tight budget. The VertuoLine Next heats up very quickly and is extremely easy to use with a single-use button that automatically adjusts to the type of capsule you're using. It makes use of patent-pending Nespresso pods that feature a barcode to tell the machine which type of coffee or espresso is being used. This ensures you get the correct temperature and pressure for every drink. The capsules spin quickly when they are brewing to create a layer of foam known as crema that is typical of traditional Italian style espresso. The only drawback is that it's more loud than other pod-machines and you can't reuse the capsules. The aluminum used in Nespresso capsules is recyclable, which means you can recycle the capsules at your local UPS store or on the Nespresso website. The machine is also pretty expensive when compared to other pod coffee machines, particularly when you factor in the cost of buying pods. If you're already a pod-coffee lover, it's a small amount to pay for consistently barista style results. You can also add the Nespresso Aeroccino+ Milk Frother to your machine to make cappuccinos or lattes. It is also available in bundles, which contain some of the Nespresso pods as well as a coffee maker. This will save you money up front. 3. Illy X7.1 Iperespresso Most pod machines have the same brewing procedure – you simply insert a capsule and press a button, and the coffee is brewed. Illy X7.1 Iperespresso is one of the machines that defy the norm. coffee machines with pods has a completely different system for capsules that lock them in place in a portafilter-like handle. This allows the machine to create an espresso that's as good as you'd get in a cafe, but without the hassle and mess that is typical of an espresso maker. The X7.1 is compatible only with Illy MIE pods, which are made of top-quality, high-end beans. Each capsule has an exact amount of espresso ground, which is then brewed using a special two-stage process that produces a thick and rich crema. The extraction is performed entirely within the capsule. This means that the machine and coffee are never in contact. Clean-up is also a breeze. This machine also has a Pannarello steam wand for making milky drinks such as cappuccino and latte macchiato. Its unique design, created by the renowned Italian architect Luca Trazzi, is sure to make a statement in your kitchen. Its slim, round forms and soft-touch buttons are reminiscent of the classic Italian espresso makers from the 1960s, while seamlessly mixing modern technology. One drawback of this machine is that it requires a little more attention than other models, particularly when you are using the steam wand. The reason for this is that the excess air can stop the flow of hot water, which prevents the machine from working efficiently. If this happens, you'll need to wait a couple of minutes before preparing another coffee to allow the excess air to be released. 4. Bosch Tassimo Vivy 2 TAS 140x The Bosch Tassimo Vivy is one of the most sought-after pod coffee machines on the market. Its small dimensions, attractive price tag and ease of use are all big selling points. But does this little machine live up to the high standards set by the parent company? We tested it out at The Coffee Bazaar headquarters. The Vivy is a simple pod coffee machine, however it does not sacrifice the performance. It can make drinks with a single touch. It reads an image of a barcode on the DISC to determine what drink to prepare. It also sets the proper amount of the froth and water in each drink using Intellibrew Technology to achieve an excellent outcome every time. This makes it easy to use – just insert the desired T DISC and choose the desired drink size. The Vivy offers 40 different drinks and a milk jug for making cappuccinos or lattes. It takes just three seconds to warm, and has auto-shut-off after five minutes, to save energy. It's very easy to clean too, with a cleverly designed descaler that slots into the side of the machine. There are separate instructions for this, but the procedure is easy and quick. If you register your Vivy, you'll get a discount on your first T-DISCs order, and also customized offers, tips and recommendations. You can also track the progress of your machine, and check how much it has used. Registering your machine is an excellent idea when you purchase it. 5. illycaffe B-Pod illycaffe, a leader in the coffee industry and an iconic heritage brand, is a world leader.
