Which is the Best Pod Coffee Machine? If you're looking for quick easy, convenient brews that are easy to clean up, a pod machine is impossible to beat. These machines are sleek and come in all sizes and shapes from tiny models that fit on your worktop to larger models that include the ability to make a frothier drink for cappuccinos. This more affordable alternative from Nespresso's Vertuo line comes with different-shaped capsules than the standard Espresso pod, and allows you to select from five different sizes for brewing: Espresso, Double Espresso, Gran Lungo, Mug and Extra Large Alto. 1. Nespresso VertuoPlus VertuoPlus capsule coffee machines are among Nespresso’s higher-end options. This particular model uses Centrifusion technology to make the best cup of espresso or long coffee at the touch of one button. The barcode reader automatically adjusts the extraction settings to get the best results in the cup. It does away with the need to adjust anything manually and only uses the exact amount of water, coffee and energy needed for each capsule's unique drink size. The machine makes use of centrifugal forces to spin capsules at 7,000 turns per minute. The machine blends ground coffee with water, producing a rich and velvety crema. The process also helps to evenly saturate the capsule with water prior to extraction which is a crucial aspect in making a tasty cup of coffee. The machine has a large 40-ounce tank of water so you can make a large amount of espresso or coffee without having to empty it. After brewing, the machine automatically ejects the used capsule and then puts it in an internal container for easy removal and recycling. The machine doesn't come with a milk frother built in, but can be used with Nespresso Aeroccino3 for lattes or cappuccinos. It is available in 13 different colours and is small and tall, with a height of less than 9 inches. This makes it easy to set up on your kitchen counter. The top of the cabinet opens automatically, making it easier to insert capsules if you are unable to reach them. The Nespresso coffee maker is currently on sale on Amazon for $119 it's a great price for such an advanced machine that's capable of making the finest espresso or long coffee. It comes with 10 Melozio (intensity 6), and 10 Stormio (intensity 8). This lets you to experiment with different combinations. 2. Lavazza A Modo Mio Jolie A sleek capsule coffee maker that's simple to use and won't cost a fortune. It's available in cream or black and it can make five milk-based drinks with a click of a button. This includes macchiato cappuccino and a large. However, it's not ideal for lattes and frothy drinks as a standalone milk frother. It also has a tiny water tank and limited number of compatible capsules, which means it may be better for black or espresso drinkers who aren't afraid of refilling and emptying the machine. Jolie, the smallest and most quiet of Lavazza’s A Modo Mio machines is perfect for those who enjoy top-quality Italian coffee without the hassle of traditional machines. It's simple to use, requiring only one backlit stop&go button for selecting the desired quantity of hot or coffee chocolate, and it can be operated in a quiet manner. Its compact size and elegant design make it the perfect complement to any room. We tested the coffee-only version. There's also a Jolie and Milk machine for PS169, which comes with a milk frother if you like milky drinks and lattes. It's easy to keep clean, with clear plastic water tank that has indicators for MIN/MAX and an open capsule drawer that is washable under running water. It is shut down automatically after nine minutes, and the power cable can easily be removed from the machine. As with other capsules, you should clean your Jolie regularly. Clean and empty the coffee reservoir and filter, and also the water container. Descaling it periodically will keep it performing optimally. 3. Breville BES870XL The Breville Barista Express makes a ideal choice for those who want a real espresso machine at home. It's also one of the few machines we've tested that can produce rich lattes that are creamy and smooth as well as the thin layer of foam that can add an extra dimension to your beverages. Pound for pound, it's a great value as far as home coffee makers go, especially when you consider it's less expensive than professional machines. This is a real espresso machine, which is different from some of the semi-automatic models we reviewed. It has an inbuilt steam wand, as well as PID temperature control for milk-based drinks. That means that it has a little bit more of a learning curve than the Rancilio Silvia, Gaggia Classic or Nespresso VertuoPlus, but it's still within reach for those looking to learn to pull a perfect shot and create the perfect latte at home. The hopper has a large airtight design that will preserve freshness and taste. It is also simple to remove and refill, which we consider a major bonus. The tamper can also be removed, which is helpful if you want to manually tamp your shots or use a double-wall filters. Other notable features include a quick-heating thermoblock, adjustable grind settings, dose control, and a drip tray which keeps the beans out of your water. It's also simple to clean and use however it's not the most durable device available. The biggest disadvantage is that it can be a bit loud when it's being made, but the sound should fade as you become more familiar with it. 4.
