One of the Best Pod Coffee Makers on the Market Pod coffee machines are often accused of producing weak, watery drinks. However, the top pods are more than that. The illy Bruvi makes use of B-Pods in place of K-Cups or Nespresso pods. It has a variety of capsules, and it is easy to customize. 1. Cuisinart DualBrew Pro Specialty Coffee System This single-serve drip coffee maker offers the best features of the models we tested. It has an insulated 12-cup carafe that is brewed in the traditional manner and a single-serve that accepts any K-Cup or Keurig-like pod. The carafe's side features an adjustable timer and a “strong” setting that provides more flavor than the normal settings. It also comes with a built-in, foldaway frother for cappuccinos and lattes. The single-serve side brews up to 18 ounces at a time with any size of K-Cup, reuseable Cuisinart HomeBarista filter cup, or ground coffee (a separate water tank is included). It uses Nespresso VertuoLine capsules and reads the barcode of each pod to adjust machine settings. It's more efficient than a top Keurig model at making a full pot of coffee thanks to 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 operating modes, and cleaning is pretty easy. The pod adapter is reusable, and the needles, and mesh filter are easily removed to clean. The device is heavy and bulky for counter space but it's an excellent option for those who prefer the convenience of pods or the flexibility of coffee ground. This basic cold brew machine is a budget-friendly option that provides an incredibly smooth and delicious cup. It can make 12 cups at once and comes with a programmable clock as well as an integrated milk frother, and an coffee filter that is reusable. It also comes with a large reservoir for water and a glass carafe to serve hot coffee. 2. Nespresso VertuoLine Next This is a great option if you are already a fan of the pod coffee machines and want to upgrade your current Keurig style machine. Nespresso's new espresso machine is sleek, efficient and has the ability to make five different drinks in one sleek, compact machine. It's also on sale now, making it a great option for those with a tight budget. The VertuoLine is then able to heat up quickly and is simple to use, thanks to an automatic button that adjusts to the type of capsule you're using. It uses the patented Nespresso capsules that have a barcode that informs the machine of what kind of coffee or espresso it is, making sure you get the right temperature and pressure for each drink. The pods also spin rapidly when brewing, creating a decadent layer of foam, known as crema, which is usually found on traditional Italian style espresso. The only drawbacks to the VertuoLine are that it's a little louder than other pod machines and that you can't reuse the capsules you've used. 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 also pretty expensive in comparison to other pod coffee machines, particularly when you consider the cost of purchasing the pods. However, if you're already convinced of the benefits of pod coffee, it's a small price to pay for consistent, barista-style results. Plus, you can add a Nespresso Aeroccino+ milk frother to the machine for lattes and cappuccinos. It's also available as bundles that include a few samples of Nespresso capsules as well as a milk frother, which can save you money in the beginning. 3. Illy X7.1 Iperespresso When it comes to brewing, most pod machines follow a similar format – capsules are placed on the top and then you press a button and the coffee oozes out. Illy X7.1 Iperespresso is one of those machines that defies the rules of. It has a completely different system for capsules, locking them into place in a portafilter-like handle. This lets the machine make an espresso that is like you would get at a cafe, but without the hassle and mess of a traditional espresso maker. The X7.1 is compatible with only illy MIE pods that are made from premium, high-quality beans. Each capsule is stocked with a precise amount of espresso ground that is brewed using a two-stage process. This results in a thick crema. The extraction is performed entirely within the capsule. This means that the machine and coffee are never in contact. Cleaning up is an easy task. This machine also has an Pannarello steam wand that can be used to make milky drinks, such as cappuccino or latte macchiato. The distinctive design of this coffee pod machine , created by 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 reminiscent of classic Italian espresso makers from the 1960s while seamlessly merging modern technology. This machine requires more attention, especially when using the steam wand. This is because excess air can hinder the flow of hot water, preventing the machine from functioning properly. You will need to wait for some time before making a second coffee to let the excess air out. 4. Bosch Tassimo Vivy 2 TAS 140x The Bosch Tassimo Vivy has become one of the most adored coffee machines available. The compact dimensions as well as the attractive pricing and the ease of use are important selling points. But can this tiny machine meet the high standards set by its parent company? We tried it out at The Coffee Bazaar HQ to discover. The Vivy is a simple pod coffee maker, but it doesn't sacrifice the performance. It can make drinks with just a simple press of a button. It reads an image of a barcode on the DisC to determine the type of drink to make. It also sets the proper amount of water and froth in each drink using Intellibrew Technology to produce an outstanding result every time. This makes it extremely simple to operate – just insert the desired T DISC and choose the desired drink size. The Vivy has 40 different drinks, as well as a milk jug for making lattes or cappuccinos. It takes just three seconds to heat up and shuts off automatically after five minutes to conserve energy. The descaler has been designed to slot into the side of your machine. This is a different process, but it's quick and simple. As an added bonus, if you sign up your Vivy with Bosch as a bonus, you'll receive a discount on your first order of T DISCs and receive personalised offers, recommendations and tips. You'll also be in a position to keep track of the condition of your machine, and also see how much water it has used. Registering your machine is also a good idea when you purchase it. 5. illycaffe B-Pod illycaffe is a well-known heritage brand and one of the leaders in the coffee industry.
