One of the Best Pod Coffee Makers on the Market Pod coffee machines are often accused of producing watery, weak drinks. The best pods are more than just that. The illy-Bruvi is made of B-Pods made from treated polypropylene cups that are designed to degrade in landfill (rather than the notorious K-Cups and Nespresso pods). It comes with a range of capsules, and it is easy to customize. 1. Cuisinart DualBrew Pro Specialty Coffee System This combination drip-and-single-serve coffee maker has the most impressive features of the models we have tested. It comes with an insulated 12-cup carafe that makes grounds in the traditional way and single-serve that can accept any K-Cup or Keurig-like pod. The carafe is programmable with a clock and it has a “strong setting” that gives you more flavor. It comes with a fold-away frother that is integrated into the carafe to serve capspuccinos and lattes. The single-serve side is able to brew up to 18 ounces at a single time using any size K-Cup and reusable Cuisinart HomeBarista filter cup, or ground coffee (a separate water tank is provided). It utilizes Nespresso VertuoLine capsules and scans the barcode of each pod to adjust machine settings. With its Extreme Brew Technology, it's quicker at making full-pots of brew than a leading Keurig. It also comes with advanced features such as a 24-hour start time, brew intensity control, and automatic shutoff. It's easy to use despite having two modes of operation, and clean-up is relatively painless. The reusable pod adapter, needles, and mesh filter are easily removed to clean. The device is heavy and bulky for counter space but it's a great option for those who want the convenience of pods, or the flexibility of coffee ground. This affordable cold brew maker makes a smooth and delicious cup. It comes with a programmable timer, a built-in milk frother and a reusable filter and can make 12 cups of java at once. It has a large reservoir of water as well as a glass carafe that can hold hot coffee. 2. Nespresso VertuoLine Next This is an excellent option for those who are already a fan of pod coffee machines and want to upgrade your current Keurig style machine. Nespresso's new espresso maker is sleek, fast, and can make five different drinks with one compact chassis. It's also on sale now making it an excellent option for those with a tight budget. The VertuoLine Next heats up very quickly and is extremely simple to use by pressing a single button that automatically adapts to the type of capsule you're using. It utilizes patented Nespresso capsules that have a barcode on them which tells the machine what kind of espresso or coffee it is, ensuring you get the right temperature and amount of water pressure for each drink. The capsules spin quickly during brewing, creating the foam, also known as crema. It is typical for traditional Italian style espresso. The VertuoLine's only downside is that it's louder than other pod machines and you aren't able to reuse capsules. The aluminum used in Nespresso capsules is recyclable, which means you can recycle them at your local UPS store or Nespresso's website. The machine is pricey when contrasted with other pod machines, especially if you include the cost of the pods. If you're already a coffee pod fan, the cost is an affordable price to pay for consistently barista-like results. Additionally, you can add an Nespresso Aeroccino+ milk frother to the machine to make lattes and cappuccinos. You can also purchase it in bundles, which include some of the Nespresso pods as well as a coffee maker. This will save you money up front. 3. Illy X7.1 Iperespresso When it is time to brew, the majority of pod machines adhere to the same format: capsules are placed on the top, you press a button and coffee flows out. Illy X7.1 Iperespresso is one of the machines that eschew the norm. It is a revolutionary system for capsules that locks them into a portafilter handle. The machine can make espresso that is similar to the kind you get at cafes, without the mess and fuss of an espresso machine that is traditional. The X7.1 is compatible with Illy MIE pods which are made of premium, high-quality beans. Each capsule contains an exact amount of espresso that is then brewed using a unique two-stage process to create 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 an easy task. The coffee pod comes with a Pannarello Steam Wand for making milky drinks like cappuccino or latte Macchiato. The distinctive design of this coffee pod machine, created by famous Italian architect Luca Trazzi is sure to make a statement in your home. Its slim, round forms and soft-touch buttons are reminiscent of the classic Italian espresso coffee makers of the 60s and seamlessly integrates modern technology. One drawback of this machine is that it requires some extra attention than some other models, especially when you use the steam wand. This is because excess air can block the flow of the hot water, which can prevent the machine from working effectively. If this happens, you'll need to wait for a few minutes before preparing another coffee to allow the excess air to let go. 4. Bosch Tassimo Vivy 2 TAS 140x The Bosch Tassimo Vivy has become one of the most adored coffee machines available. The small size, attractive pricing, and ease of operation are all important selling points. Does this tiny machine meet the standards set by its parent company's standards? We went for a spin at The Coffee Bazaar HQ to discover. The Vivy is one of the most simple pod coffee machines that are available, but it doesn't skimp on performance. It can make drinks with a simple press of a button. It scans a barcode on the T DISC to determine which drink to make. It also automatically adjusts the proper amount of froth and water for each drink, using Intellibrew technology to ensure the best results every time. It is very simple to use – simply insert the desired T DISC, and then select the size of your drink. There are 40 drinks to choose from and the Vivy comes with a milk jug for making cappuccinos or lattes. It takes just three seconds to heat and it has an auto-shutoff after five minutes. It's easy to clean, too, with a cleverly designed descaler that fits into the side of the machine. There are separate instructions for this, but the process is quick and simple. If you sign up your Vivy, you'll get a discount on your first order of T-DISCs and also customized offers, tips and advice. You can also monitor the condition of your machine, and see how much it has used. It is recommended when you purchase it. 5. illycaffe B-Pod illycaffe is a renowned heritage brand and an industry leader in the field of coffee.
