One of the Best Pod coffee pods machines Makers on the Market

Pod coffee machines have an undeserved reputation for being watery, under-strength drinks. Fortunately, the best ones can provide more than that.

The illy Bruvi uses B-Pods made from treated polypropylene cups which are designed to break down in landfill (rather than the dreaded K-Cups and Nespresso pods). It comes with a range of capsule coffee maker options and is simple to customise.

1. Cuisinart DualBrew Pro Specialty coffee pods machine System

This single-serve drip coffee maker has the most impressive features of all the models we’ve tested. It has 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’s side features a programmable timer and it has a “strong” setting that provides more flavor than normal settings. It also comes with a fold-away frother that is built into the carafe for cappuccinos and lattes.

The single-serve side brews up to 18 ounces at a time with any size of K-Cup, the reusable Cuisinart HomeBarista filter cup, or ground coffee (a separate water tank is included). It makes use of Nespresso VertuoLine capsules and reads the barcode of each pod to adjust the machine’s settings. It’s faster than a leading Keurig model when it comes to making a full-sized pot of brew using its Extreme Brew technology and has advanced features like a 24 hour brew start, brew strength control, and auto shutoff.

It’s easy to use, despite having two different modes of operation, and clean-up is relatively painless. The pod adapter that is reusable and needles can be removed to clean, and the mesh filter is washable in the sink. It’s quite bulky and heavy for counter space however it’s a great alternative for anyone looking to enjoy the convenience of pods as well as the versatility of ground coffee.

This low-cost cold brew machine produces a smooth, flavorful cup. It can make 12 cups at once and features a programmable timer as well as an integrated milk frother as well as a coffee filter that can be reused. It has a large reservoir of water, as well as a glass carafe to hold hot coffee.

2. Nespresso VertuoLine Next

This is a great option for those who are already a fan of pod coffee machines but want to upgrade your current Keurig style machine. Nespresso’s latest espresso maker is stylish, fast and can make five different drinks with one small chassis. It’s on sale now and is a great choice for any budget.

The VertuoLine is then able to heat up quickly and is simple to use, using an automatic button that adjusts to the type of capsule you’re using. It uses the patented Nespresso capsules which have an identifier on them that tells the machine what kind of coffee or espresso it is, ensuring that you have the right temperature and pressure for each drink. The pods also spin rapidly while brewing, resulting in a decadent layer of foam, known as crema. It is typically found on traditional Italian style espresso.

The VertuoLine’s biggest drawback is that it’s more loud 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 the capsules at your local UPS store or Nespresso’s website.

The machine is costly when it is compared to other pod makers in particular when you consider the cost of the pods. If, however, you’ve already bought in to the benefits of pod coffee, it’s a small price to pay for consistently good barista-like results. Plus, you can add a Nespresso Aeroccino+ milk frother to the machine to make cappuccinos and lattes. You can also purchase it in bundles, which include a few samples of the Nespresso pods as well as a coffee maker. This will save you money up front.

3. Illy X7.1 Iperespresso

When it comes to brewing, most pod machines follow the same pattern – capsules are placed on the top and you press a button and the coffee is poured out. Illy X7.1 Iperespresso is one of the machines that defy convention. It has a completely different system for capsules that lock them in place in a portafilter-like hand. The machine produces espresso that is comparable to the one you can get in cafes, without the hassle and mess of a traditional espresso machine.

The X7.1 is compatible only with illy MIE pods that are made from premium, high-quality beans. Each capsule contains precisely proportioned amounts of ground espresso, which is then brewed using a special two-stage process that produces an intense crema. The extraction is done entirely within the capsule. This means that the coffee and machine are not in contact. Cleaning up is easy.

This coffee maker is equipped with a Pannarello Steam Wand that can be used to make milky drinks such as cappuccino and Latte Macchiato. The unique design of this coffee pod machine, created by the famous Italian architect Luca Trazzi is sure to make a bold design statement in your living space. Its slender, round shapes and soft-touch buttons are inspired by classic Italian espresso makers from the 1960s while seamlessly mixing modern technology.

This machine requires a bit more attention, especially when using the steam wand. This is because excessive air can sometimes prevent the hot water from flowing properly making it impossible for the machine to continue working. You’ll need to wait for some time before making another cup of coffee in order to let the excess air escape.

4. Bosch Tassimo Vivy 2 TAS 140x

The Bosch Tassimo Vivy has become one of the most popular coffee machines available. The compact dimensions as well as the attractive pricing and user-friendly are major selling points. Does this little machine meet the high standards set by its parent company’s? We tried it out at The Coffee Bazaar headquarters.

The Vivy is a simple pod coffee machine, however it does not sacrifice its performance. It can make drinks with a single press of a button. It reads an image of a barcode on the DISC to determine what drink to prepare. It also automatically determines the correct amount of water and froth for each drink, utilizing Intellibrew technology to ensure an excellent result every time.

It’s easy to use – just insert the desired T DISC, and then select the size of your drink. There are 40 different drinks to choose from and the Vivy comes with a milk jug for making cappuccinos or lattes. It takes just three seconds to heat up and automatically shuts off after five minutes to save energy.

The descaler is designed to fit into the side of your machine. This is a separate process, but it’s quick and easy.

As an added benefit, if register your Vivy with Bosch, you’ll get a discount on your first order of T DISCs. Additionally, you’ll receive personalized offers, recommendations and tips. You’ll also be in a position to keep track of the condition of your machine and know the amount of water it has been using. It is a good idea when you purchase it.
