Pop in a pod and select the size of your cup and the machine will whir into action, making espresso lungo, double espresso, gran lungo, mug and alto drinks with a thick layer of silky frosting.

As with most pod machines you load a pod using an opening on the top of the machine, and then drop it into place. The machine punctures the capsule, then closes it. When you pull the lever, the used pod will fall into a designated used Pod tray that is located beneath the drip tray.

It's not the fastest machine to brew in 30 seconds for an espresso shot and 90 seconds for a lungo - however, the results are always impressive, with excellent crema and a smooth, rich taste. The machine also warns you when the water tank or pod bin is in need of refilling.

The main selling point of this machine is that you can use it with any Lavazza-branded pod Seven pods are available in total including ground roasted espresso (Qualita Rossa, Intenso, Passionale and Delizioso) and two decaffeinated (Dek Cremoso) and two organic coffees (!Tierra! Bio). The pod coffee machine isn't inexpensive, but if you combine it with pod delivery services, the price can be similar to that of the regular bean-to-cup machine. The slim design of this machine allows it to fit into even the tiniest kitchens. The pods are also compostable in a way that you can put them in food waste bins for your council bins or garden compost.

4. Nespresso Vertuo Pod Machine

Nespresso machines are among the top pod coffee makers for those who want quick steady, reliable, and consistent brew. They heat up fast and are simple to use. Simply place a capsule in and press a button, and you're good to go. They create an intense, creamy crema that can be added to drinks for more flavor and a thicker layer. They're not cheap, though they are expensive, and you need to buy their official pods.

The Vertuo line is based on an entirely different method of technology from OriginalLine machines that work with espresso capsules (and remain in operation). They read the barcode of each capsule and automatically adjust the brewing parameters to make the perfect cup. They also include a centrifusion system that spins the capsule coffee machine uk to get the best flavors and the thickest crema.

The machines aren't quite as intuitive as the other options. The lid only opens when the machine is in its final stages and it takes about 30 seconds for the capsule to heat up. They don't include milk frothers like the other pod coffee makers listed on this list, meaning you'll need an additional PS90 or so to purchase a separate Aeroccino in order to make lattes and cappuccinos.

They also require more regular maintenance than other models--refilling the water tank, emptying used pod containers, and descaling--but they have an app that reminds you of these duties and includes tools such as store locators and capsule recycling. If you connect your device with an IntelliPort you can control it via voice commands. This is great if you are making coffee machines for pods at 4am in the dark or are limited in strength.
