It's easy to use, has a stunning design, and can be easily tucked away in an area of the kitchen when it's not in use. The machine can be loud but it's not a huge issue. It is also fairly small and will fit in small counters. But, if you're looking for a Keurig with a larger range of sizes or a carafe to use for traditional drip brewing, consider other alternatives. Keurig K'Select is a single-serve coffee maker that combines a sleek style with more intuitive features. This lets you make the perfect cup of coffee every time.

There are more than 70 flavors to choose from, ranging from brands such as Kenco and Costa to Costa, Milka and Cadbury's. The machine offers a variety of T discs, including those for hot tea and chocolate. We found the coffee it made to be of a high quality, albeit slightly less than the other pod machines in this round-up. It also produced a creamy mouthfeel, and steam-cooked milk for a caffe lattes in a short time. However, it should be noted that the frothy milk made from T Discs contains sugar which isn't a huge problem in itself but isn't for everyone's taste. The Tassimo My Way is easy to clean, thanks to the drip tray, removable parts of the brewing unit and the water tank being dishwasher-safe. There's a Brita filter that is included as well as a cleaning disc that can be used.

Lavazza Lungo Pod Machine This Nespresso-compatible pod coffee maker from Lavazza which was developed in collaboration with Sage, is one of the most attractive machines on the market. The machine is constructed of durable and attractive materials. It comes with a stylish steam wand that can be adjusted to make cappuccinos or lattes, and a stainless-steel milk jug. It can make espresso, lungos, double espressos mugs, gran lungos and altos using a thick layer froth. As with all pod machines you load the pod using a hatch on the top of the machine and then drop it in place. The machine punctures the capsule then seals it. When you pull the lever the used pod will fall into a designated spent Pod tray underneath the drip tray. It's not the fastest machine to brew espresso. It takes about 30 seconds for a single shot and 90 seconds for the lungo. But the results are always impressive with a smooth, rich flavor and a great crema. The machine will also alert you when it is time to refill the tank of water or the pod bin. A big selling point for this machine is that you can use it with any Lavazza brand pod – there are seven in all, including espresso ground (Qualita Rossa, Intenso, Passionale and Delizioso) Two decaffeinated (Dek Cremoso) and two organic coffees (!Tierra! Bio). The pod coffee machine is not inexpensive, but if you combine it with a pod delivery subscription the cost could be similar to that of an ordinary bean-to-cup machine. The slim design of this machine allows it to fit in even the tiniest kitchens. The pods are also industrially compostable, so you can put them in your council food bins or garden compost. 4. Nespresso Vertuo Pod Machine Nespresso machines are the best pods coffee makers for those who are looking for a reliable, speedy and consistent brew. They heat quickly and are simple to use. Simply insert a capsule and press a button and you're done. They also create a rich crema that you can add to your drinks for added thickness and flavor. The official pods aren't inexpensive and you'll need to purchase them. The Vertuo line is a different machine than the OriginalLine machines, which make use of espresso capsules. They scan each capsule's barcode and automatically adjust the brewing parameters for the perfect cup. They also have a centrifusion machine that spins the capsules in order to extract the most flavor and the thickest crema. The machines aren't as intuitive as our other choices. www.coffeee.uk opens when the machine is ready, and it takes about 30 seconds for the capsule to heat up. The machine doesn't come with milk frothers, as do some of the other pod machines listed on this list. You'll have to shell out an additional PS90 to purchase a separate Aeroccino to make cappuccinos and lattes. They also require more frequent maintenance than other models – refilling the water tank, emptying used pod containers, and decaling. However, they do come with an application that reminds you of these duties and includes tools such as store locators and capsule recycling. If you connect your machine to an IntelliPort you can operate it using voice commands, which is a nice feature if you're making coffee in the dark at 4am, or have a weak hand. 5. SMEG Barista Pod Machine This sleek pod coffee maker is the lovechild of a beloved Italian brand and a renowned kitchen appliance company. It comes with all the sleek, retro curves that SMEG is known for, along with the ability to make espresso and lungo drinks with ease. It also comes with a shot setting that is programmable and dual-height drip tray, and a pod bin that can be removed. This coffee maker lets you make an instant cup of espresso or lungo in the morning or during your work break. The simple control panel makes it appear sleek and doesn't detract from its functionality. If you're looking to dress up your daily joe even more, it has three different filter baskets that accommodate different kinds of capsules. You can even use ground beans that are loose (although you'll need to own a separate grinder). The SMEG Barista Pod Machine doesn't include a milk pitcher but it does have an inbuilt Pannarello milk frother that froths soymilk and cow milk quite well. It also has a portafilter of 51mm which is smaller than the typical commercial filter. It's pressurized which is great because it means you won't get the stale, lingering grind taste. It comes with a plastic tamper which can also be used as a spoon. The SMEG is among the most expensive pod machines we've reviewed but it's well worth it if your a fan of the retro design or enjoy being able to whip up espresso-based drinks. This is a great choice when you're new to coffee making and don't want to tackle the hassle of measuring, grinding and tamping the beans yourself.
