One of the Best Pod Coffee Makers on the Market Pod coffee machines are often criticised for producing weak, watery drinks. However, the top pods can offer much more than that. The illy-Bruvi is made of B-Pods, made from treated polypropylene cups that are designed to degrade in landfill (rather than the dreaded K-Cups and Nespresso pods). It also offers a range of capsule options and easy customisation. 1. Cuisinart DualBrew Pro Specialty Coffee System This combination drip-and-single-serve coffee maker has the best features of the models we tested. It comes with an insulated 12-cup carafe that brews grounds in the traditional manner and one-serve that will accept any K-Cup or Keurig-like pod. The carafe's side features a programmable timer and an “strong” setting that gives more flavor than standard settings. It also comes with an integrated, fold-away frother to make cappuccinos and lattes. The single-serve side can brew up to 18 ounces per hour with any size of K-Cup, the reusable Cuisinart HomeBarista filter cups or ground coffee (a separate water tank is included). It makes use of Nespresso VertuoLine capsules and scans the barcode of each pod to adjust machine settings. It's quicker than the leading Keurig model when it comes to making a full-sized pot of brew using its Extreme Brew technology and has advanced functions, including a 24-hour brew start, brew strength controls and auto shutoff. It's easy to use despite having two different modes of operation, and cleaning process is fairly easy. The reusable pod adapter and needles are easily removable for cleaning and the mesh filter is washable in your sink. The machine is heavy and bulky for counter space but it's an excellent 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 has a programmable timer as well as a built-in milk maker and a reusable filter, and can make 12 cups of java at once. It has a large tank of water and a glass carafe to hold hot beverages. 2. Nespresso VertuoLine Next If you're already bought in to the pod coffee machine trend and would like to upgrade your Keurig-style machine, this is an excellent option. Nespresso's new espresso machine is sleek, fast and has the ability to make five different drinks on one sleek, compact chassis. It's available for sale right now which makes it a great choice for any budget. The VertuoLine will then heat up quickly and is easy to use, using a button that adapts automatically to the type capsule you're using. It utilizes patented Nespresso pods that have a barcode to tell the machine what kind of espresso or coffee is being used. This ensures you get the right temperature and water pressure for every drink. The pods also spin fast while brewing, resulting in a decadent layer of foam, also known as crema, that is usually found on 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. Fortunately, the aluminum used in Nespresso pods is recyclable so you can drop them off at the local UPS store or on the Nespresso website for free, and they'll return them to reuse. The machine is pricey when compared to other pod machines, especially if you include the cost of the pods. If you've already bought in to the advantages of pod coffee, it's only a small cost to get consistent results that resemble baristas. You can also add a Nespresso Aeroccino+ Milk Frother to your machine to make lattes or cappuccinos. It's also available as bundles that include a few sample packs of the Nespresso capsules and a milk frother that can save you money in the beginning. 3. coffee machine and pods X7.1 Iperespresso The majority of pod machines use the same brewing procedure – you insert a capsule and press a button, and the coffee is brewed. Illy X7.1 Iperespresso is one of the machines that defy the rules of. It uses a different system for capsules that lock them in place inside a portafilter-like handle. This allows the machine to produce an espresso like you would get at a cafe, however without the hassle and mess of a traditional espresso maker. The X7.1 is compatible with Illy MIE pods which are made of top-quality, high-end beans. Each capsule contains a precise amount of espresso ground that is brewed in a two-stage process. This results in a thick crema. The extraction happens entirely inside the capsule, which means that the machine and the coffee do not come into contact and cleanup is a breeze. This coffee pod machine also has a Pannarello steam wand that can be used to make milky drinks such as cappuccino and latte macchiato. Its unique design, created by the renowned Italian architect Luca Trazzi, is sure to stand out in your kitchen. Its slim, round forms and soft-touch buttons are reminiscent of the classic Italian espresso coffee makers of the 1960s and seamlessly integrates modern technology. This machine requires a bit more attention, especially when using the steam wand. This is because excessive air can block the steam from flowing properly and stop the machine from functioning. It is necessary to wait a few moments before preparing another cup of coffee to let the air escape. 4. Bosch Tassimo Vivy 2 TAS 140x The Bosch Tassimo Vivy is one of the most well-known pod coffee machines available on the market.
