The Best pod Coffee machines (www-coffeee-uk73270.blog-mall.com)
Pod coffee machines allow you to add a capsule with ground or roasted coffee beans into the machine. Then the coffee pours through for a set amount of time to make your beverage.
Some pod coffee machines have various sizes of cups as well as frothing milk capabilities. The ideal pod machine for you will depend on your lifestyle and your personal preferences.
1. Keurig K-Select
If you're looking for a simple Keurig coffee maker without all the bells and whistles that come with more expensive models, this machine is a great choice. It's simple to use and has a great look. When not in use, it can be easily tucked into a corner in the kitchen.
The machine can be loud but it's not a huge problem. It is also fairly small and will fit on small counters. If you're looking for a Keurig with a greater variety of sizes or a carafe to drip-brew your coffee, you might be interested in other alternatives.
The Keurig K-Select single serve coffee maker is a blend of elegant design and intuitive features to help you brew your perfect cup every time. Choose from hundreds of delicious K-Cup pods, or brew your own ground coffee with My-K-Cup's universal, coffee filter that is reusable (sold separately). Strong Brew increases the intensity and strength of your coffee pod machines, making it an ideal option for those who prefer strong cups.
The brewer is simple to operate using buttons. Simply put in a K-Cup pod, select the size of brew you want, and press brew. In less than a minute, you'll have a freshly-brewed cup of coffee ready for you to enjoy. The large water reservoir of 52 ounces allows you to make up to five cups between refills, easing your morning routine.
The Keurig is incredibly easy to clean. The reservoir for water and lid can be cleaned and removed by hand. However, it is recommended to descale your Keurig before cleaning, and follow the directions in the user's manual to ensure that the machine is performing optimally. This warranty covers all original accessories and the brewer, except for normal wear or abuse, and external causes like power outages.
2. Tassimo My Way
This is the best option for coffee lovers who want an appliance that can do more than just make your typical cup. It's designed to make a wide range of drinks like hot chocolate and tea, and comes with a huge 1.3 litre water tank that can make multiple cups at a time. The machine is warm in only three seconds and can produce the perfect cappuccino or latte using its milk jug built-in. It also features touchscreen that lets you adjust the intensity, temperature and quantity of your drink.
Tassimo My Way uses T Discs, which are a set of ingredients can be used to make your drink. There are more than 70 kinds that include Kenco, Costa, Milka, and Cadbury's. The machine has a range of T discs, which include those for tea and hot chocolate.
We found the coffee it produced to be of excellent quality, though slightly less than some of the other pod machines in this round-up. It also gave a smooth mouthfeel and steamed milk to make caffe lattes in a short time. It is important to remember that the milk's frothy texture contains sugar which, though not a major problem it might not be to everyone's liking.
The Tassimo My Way is easy to clean, thanks to the drip tray, the removable parts of the brewing unit as well as the water tank being dishwasher-safe. A Brita filter is included, as is an ice-cleaning disk. A useful indicator light will let you know when it's time to descale and a reservoir of water keeps the limescale at the minimum. The machine is Energy Star rated, which reduces the amount of electricity it uses by up to 15%..
3. Lavazza Lungo Pod Machine
This Nespresso compatible pod coffee machine, designed in collaboration with Sage by Lavazza is among the most attractive machines available. It's made with tough and attractive materials, it comes with a neat adjustable steam wand to make lattes and cappuccinos as well as a stainless steel milk jug. The machine can brew espresso, lungos, double espressos, mugs, gran lungos and altos using an incredibly thick layer of foam.
As with most pod machines you load a pod using a hatch at the top of the machine and drop it into the. The machine penetrates the capsule and then closes it in such a way that when you press the lever, the pod falls into a dedicated spent pod tray that is located beneath the drip tray.
It's not the fastest machine to brew, taking 30 seconds for a shot of espresso and around 90 seconds for a lungo however, the results are always impressive, with a great crema and a smooth, rich taste. The machine also alerts you when the water tank or pod bin needs refilling.
A big selling point for this machine is that it can use it with any Lavazza brand pod Seven pods are available in all, including ground roasted espresso (Qualita Rossa, Intenso, Passionale and Delizioso), two decaffeinated (Dek Cremoso) and two organic coffees (!Tierra! Bio). The pod coffee maker isn't inexpensive, but if you combine it with a pod delivery subscription the cost could be similar to the cost of a regular bean-to cup machine. The slim design of this machine makes it possible to fit in even the smallest kitchens. The pods are compostable in a way that you can place them in food waste bins for your council bins or garden compost.
4. Nespresso Vertuo Pod Machine
Nespresso machines make some of the top pods coffee makers for those looking for a reliable, quick and steady brew. They heat quickly and are extremely simple to use–just insert a capsule, press a button, and you're done. They also produce a rich crema that you can add to your drinks for added thickness and flavor. They're not cheap, however you must purchase their official pods.
The Vertuo line is a different machine than the OriginalLine machines, which still make use of espresso capsules. They scan each capsule's barcode and automatically adjust the brewing parameters to make a perfect cup. They also have a centrifusion device that spins the capsules to extract the most flavor and thickest crema.
However they're not as user-friendly as our other picks. For instance the lid is only opened when the machine is ready, and it takes about 30 seconds to get hot enough to put in a capsule. The machine doesn't come with milk frothers, as do some of the other pod machines listed on this list. Therefore, you'll need to shell out an additional PS90 to buy an additional Aeroccino to make cappuccinos and lattes.
They also require more regular maintenance than other models–refilling the water tank, emptying old pod containers, and decaling. However, they do come with an application that reminds you of these tasks and offers tools like store locators and capsule recycling. If you connect your machine to an IntelliPort you can use voice commands to control it, which is a nice feature for those who make coffee in the dark at 4am, or have weak hands.
5. SMEG Barista Pod Machine
This sleek pod coffee machine is the lovechild of a beloved Italian brand and a renowned kitchen appliances company. It features the retro, sleek curves that SMEG are famous for, and can make both lungo and espresso drinks. It also has a programmable shot setting and dual-height drip tray, and a pod bin that can be removed.
This coffee maker allows you to make a quick cup or two of lungo or espresso in the morning or during your work break. Its simple control panel makes it appear sleek and doesn't distract you from its function. It comes with three baskets that can be swapped for different types of capsules. You can also make use of loose ground beans (although you'll need to own a separate grinder).
The SMEG Barista Pod Machine does not include a milk pitcher. However, it does have a Pannarello built-in milk frother which is able to froth soymilk and cow milk very efficiently. It also comes with an oversized portafilter of 51mm which is smaller than a standard commercial-style filter. It's pressurised, so it won't give off the taste of stale food that is left behind. It also comes with a Tamper which can also be used as scoop.
