A real standout is the Bruvi, which uses B-Corp Certified treated polypropylene pods which will break down in landfill when you're done with them. It's also among the easiest machines to operate.

The front panel has simple controls that make use of sensors to adjust the level of your drink. The machine will automatically adjust brew time and intensity according to the type of pod you insert. The machine will also notify you when it's time to descale by using a handy LED indicator.

This coffee maker with pods is easy to use, and the price is fair for what you get. It has plenty of features and is a compact design that will fit on most worktops. It is quiet and has an extra caddy for storage of pods. There are numerous positive reviews from users of this machine on Amazon and Currys.

The main drawback of this machine is the price of the T-Discs that are reusable. Some people are not happy with the price but others are willing to pay a little more for a machine which produces a high-quality cup of coffee or other beverages. You can purchase the T-Discs that can be reused online, in grocery stores or in coffee shops. You can also recycle them through the TASSIMO PodBack scheme.

2. Bosch Tassimo Vivy 2 TAS 140x

Bosch's Vivy 2 is the best pod coffee maker for those wanting to get the most out of their drink. It offers a variety of T-Discs (the small capsules that contain hot drinks) to choose from, including some more sweet options like hot lattes, tea and chocolate. It also comes with a milk container to make frothy cappuccinos. The machine also has a quick pre-heating process, which means you can get your coffee to the table quickly.

The Vivy 2 is one of the easiest machines to use, with its simple-to-follow instructions and intuitive interface. You simply insert a T-Disc, and the machine scans it to determine precisely how much water you should add, meaning you don't need to make any manual settings yourself. It's also smaller than many other units we've seen, making it more convenient to put on your counter. However the smaller size means smaller water tanks, so it'll need to be refilled every five minutes or so. The Vivy 2 is no different from other Tassimo models in that it doesn't have an internal bin to store T-Discs used. You will need to empty them and recycle each one after each brew.

This machine features a smart water filter in the tank that reduces calcium levels, thereby protecting your system from limescale. It will also ensure that your coffee tastes great. The Vivy 2 has dual coffee settings that allow you to make a lungo or a short shot of espresso. It also has a handy "ready" indicator on the lid, which lets you know when it's ready to dispense your drink.

It's a high-performance, well-designed pod coffee maker that has a number of useful features and an attractive design. However, the absence of a reusable filter and the fact that the coffee it produces isn't as smooth and full-bodied like the ones produced by some of the other machines on our list means that it doesn't make the cut among the top pod coffee makers. It's still worth a look if you're looking for an easy-to use and practical pod-based beverage maker.

illy quietly makes waves in a market that's dominated by Nespresso and its irresistible George Clooney advertisements. The X7.1 Iperespresso espresso machine is elegant and ideal for any home. It's equipped with the latest technology and a sleek style that will surely impress in your kitchen.

The X7.1 Iperespresso is equipped with illy's innovative capsules system. This simplifies espresso making and eliminates the need to grind beans or measure portions. The two-stage extraction technique produces a full-bodied espresso and a rich crema. The machine is equipped with a stainless steel internal thermoblock, and a Pannarello Steam Wand for making lattes or cappuccinos.

Contrary to other coffee makers like unlike other coffee makers, X7.1 Iperespresso will require you to prepare the pods with the portafilter rather than putting them into an machine slot. This makes the X7.1 Iperespresso a more barista-like feel and helps you create drinks that have a more authentic taste. It's also much easier to clean than other coffee pod machines because you don't have a drawer where the capsules gather and get clogged up.

The X7.1 Iperespresso is not without its flaws, however. It's only compatible with Illy pods which are expensive. In addition, the portafilter style making process can be difficult for users to get knack of.

The X7.1 Iperespresso is an arduous task for newbies, but it's worth the money for anyone who wants to make delicious espresso and other drinks at home. The X7.1 Iperespresso is a great value for money with its modern features and sleek design.

The Y1 is less functional than other pod-based machines. The Y1 only has two buttons, one for each pod size, and another that automatically fills the cup with hot water. It also has a smaller water tank, which means it'll need to be filled more frequently than other pods. If you're not worried about this small flaw, the Y1 is a great option for anyone looking for a simple and easy-to-use pod-based device.

4. Nespresso Vertuo

The Nespresso Vertuo line of coffee machine with capsules makers is a premium option that targets espresso and cappuccino drinkers. They make use of Nespresso's own pods, which contain a mix of espresso and coffee with an additional layer of rich crema atop.

The Vertuo machines have a single button operation and are able to make short espresso shots and full cups of coffee at the press of one button. The machine scans the barcode of each capsule to determine the best drink for it, and then adjusts the temperature of the water, extraction times and spin speeds according to. The machine can be utilized in conjunction with the Nespresso aeroccino and milk frother to make lattes and cappuccinos.

During testing the machine, I found it to be incredibly easy to operate and was capable of consistently producing delicious and full-bodied coffee. Each of the six brew sizes available--Espresso, Double Espresso and the rich Gran Lungo, mug of coffee, or the bigger Alto ---was consistently perfect. We utilized the machine using the Nespresso mobile app to monitor the levels of pods and water which made it easier for us to keep track of refills and emptying.

The machine is simple to use however it's not as flexible as Keurig K-Cup machines. It can be frustrating if you are unable to locate the exact coffee or tea you're looking for. It's also more expensive than Keurig. Although it comes with a basic set of capsules, you are locked into the brand’s expensive Vertuo caps after that.

The machine is noisy and takes an extended time to heat up. Be careful not to leave anything near to the capsule container because it could puncture the pods. We measured the energy consumption and found that it uses 0.007 kWh for an espresso and turns off after 9 minutes.

The model is not equipped with an holder for drips, so you will need to place your cup on a plate or mug. The capsules that are used fall into a holder that you can empty and recycle into one of the Nespresso recycling bags.
