Best Coffee Machine Pods

Pod coffee machines make it simple to get your caffeine fix in the morning. Contrary to conventional machines, they dispense pre-packed pods of ground coffee or espresso to make the process faster.

Choose a pod-based coffee machine that allows you to adjust the temperature and cup size. Also, ensure that the machine can accommodate the use of reusable pods.

1. Nespresso Vertuo

Nespresso is the leader in pod brewing and a favourite among coffee enthusiasts. The capsules and machines made by Nespresso are highly evaluated in terms of quality and sustainability. The capsules are made of 80 percent recyclable material and are compostable. They are made of less plastic and have a smaller carbon footprint than traditional coffee bags. Nespresso also has a partnership with organizations that are certified green to ensure fair working conditions and sustainable farming.

The Nespresso Vertuo line includes several machines that produce an incredibly delicious and rich cup of espresso or coffee with a great crema. VertuoPlus Deluxe and VertuoPlus models feature advanced features, like automatic milk heating as well as customizable drink settings. They are easy to use and feature modern and sleek designs that looks great in your kitchen.

Both the X model and the Deluxe model feature a large reservoir as well as a slim body. Centrifusion, a new innovative extraction technology, uses up to 7,500 revolutions per minute for brewing the espresso or coffee. This process creates a consistent, smooth crema that is saturated to a great extent even in smaller cups.

Nespresso's capsules are more expensive than third-party compatible pods that are sold in grocery stores and online retailers, but they come with a a nice range of flavors and intensity levels to choose from. The company also releases limited-edition products. The machines are easy to operate and the Vertuoline is less complicated than Nespresso's original Nespresso that only makes espresso.

The Vertuoline also has two sizes of capsules -- the smaller espresso size and the gran lungo size for those who prefer smaller drinks. The larger alto and mug capsules are suitable for hearty and mug-sized drinks that require more intensely roasted coffee. The Nespresso Vertuoline makes a great cup of drip coffee, unlike some other pod machines that we tried.

2. Illy X7.1

This pod coffee machine is a high-spec machine that's constructed of durable and attractive materials. It's slightly more expensive than other models we've tested, however it offers reliable, high-quality performance and features a beautiful design.

The X7.1 uses a patented system that reads the barcode on every capsule to identify them. It is then pre-wets it and infuses the correct amount of distillate water. This is an excellent plus point for those who want hassle-free automated, hands-free. However, it can be frustrating for those who love to alter settings and choose their own brew strength and size. The machine is able to serve espresso drinks, double espresso drinks, mugs, granlongo, and alto drinks, all with the smooth crema.

In addition to its brewing technology, the X7.1 features a range of other features that make it stand out. It is among a handful of coffee makers we tested to offer an adjustable height tray that can be used to adjust the size and shape the coffee cup. It also includes a stainless steel milk jug for making cappuccinos and lattes. The X7.1 features a sleep mode and a detachable holder for pods to make cleaning simpler.

It is compatible with most Keurig K-Cups and Nespresso capsules and Bruvi's own B-Pods. These pods differ from K-Cups or other popular pods due to the fact that they contain ground coffee, instead of a teabag, and contain more caffeine than regular espresso. The Bruvi also has apps compatibility and can be set up to brew remotely and on schedule. It also comes with a handy steam wand that can be used to create frothy lattes and cappuccinos.

3. Grind One

If you're not a huge fan of the plastic-y Nespresso pods or are looking for something less quite as bulky, then the Stockholm-designed Grind One may be the best cheap espresso machine option for you. Two members of the Real Homes team have been trying it out in their kitchens, and both are incredibly pleased with it. It's a sleek stainless-steel geometric machine, that looks super stylish and is simple to use. Simply place a pod into the inlet, choose either the short lungo or express, and then press a button. The light flashes to indicate whether the coffee is in the process of brewing or is ready. There's no milk carafe or steam wand, but you can add hot or cold milk to your coffee however you please.

The best bean to cup coffee machine under 500 part about this machine is that it was designed to work with Grind's reusable, plastic-free and home compostable coffee pods. This means that you're not only reducing your coffee waste (which can take hundreds of years to degrade) but the pods themselves have zero plastic and are organic. They cost about 50p each, and you can chuck them in your food waste bin or garden compost after they're empty.

The Grind One costs PS275 and you can purchase it with an option that includes milk frother for an extra PS325. It is more expensive than other Nespresso pod machines, but it is a sleek, well-designed, and versatile machine. It's also the smallest of the bunch, which means it doesn't require enough countertop space, and it comes with an elevated drip tray that connects to a series of notches next to the waste bin to allow height adjustment.

4. Grind 2

For those who enjoy a simple and quick cup of coffee, this machine removes the hassle making espresso. It can make a short or long shot, and has three different settings for temperature and extraction. Our coffee enthusiast was enthralled by its ability to make an excellent espresso. Its crema (which should be a cozy chestnut color and last until the last sip) and temperature were right on. Its sleek design, as well as its tough and attractive materials, made it stand out among the competition.

Our coffee enthusiast also tried the Grind One for its ease of use. The robust switch is pleasant to use, and has the option of programming your preferred long or short shot. It also features a clear display. You can choose to automatically dispensing hot water with your coffee that helps the ground to settle and enhances the taste of your drink. The pod coffee maker includes a handy milk frother making it a fantastic all-rounder.

These machines also take out the messy elements of espresso-making like grinding or dosing and tamping of the ground beans. This means that there are fewer items that have to be cleaned and recycled, making them a better choice for those without much kitchen space. If you're looking to expand your options, you can utilize a separate milk frother in order to make cappuccinos and lattes. You can also go with an manual press like the Aeropress that has a smaller carbon footprint and a more rich flavor than machines. However, it requires more effort from you, so we wouldn't recommend it for everyone.

5. Lavazza Idola

This model isn't as expensive as the Lavazza Voicy pod machine, however, it's a great choice for those who enjoy espresso or ristretto or caffe longo. It's also one of the most silent machines, which means you can sip your morning coffee while your children are still asleep.

You can programme a cup size to suit your mood and there's an option to add the temperature to increase to push your brew to a higher temperature at the press of one button. You can also keep up with the maintenance schedule by receiving notifications when the capsule bin is empty or when the water tank requires to be topped off.

The machine does not frost milk however it can be used to make cappuccinos and flat whites using an additional container. A lot of buyers have left favorable reviews on Amazon and John Lewis. They laud the quiet operation as well as the flexible choices offered by the machine, including different lengths of brews and an adequate capacity for capsules that have been used.

There aren't many reviews from customers, but the consensus is that it's a great pod coffee maker if you prefer simple setup. It's a bit more expensive than the Nespresso Vertuo Pop, but it comes with great tasting Lavazza pods and is among the quietest machines around. If you want to make several different coffees, we recommend you look into one of our top choices. For more information, read our full Lavazza Idola review.
