We found the coffee it produced to be of high quality, albeit slightly less than that of other pod machines we have reviewed in this round-up. It also produced a creamy mouthfeel and steaming milk to make caffe lattes fast. However, it is to be taken into consideration that the milk with a frothy texture made from T Discs is a source of sugar that isn't a huge issue but isn't for everyone's taste.

Similar to most pod machines, you load a pod through a hatch at the top of the machine and drop it in place. The machine then pierces the capsule, and then closes it so that when you press the lever, the pod is deposited into a spent pod tray beneath the drip tray.

The machine is not the fastest to brew espresso, it takes 30 seconds for one shot and 90 seconds for the lungo. However, the results are always impressive with a rich, smooth taste and a delicious crema. The machine will also inform you when it's time to refill the water tank or pod bin.

The main selling point of this machine is that it can use it with any Lavazza-branded pod - there are seven in total including espresso ground (Qualita Rossa, Intenso, Passionale and Delizioso) and two decaffeinated (Dek Cremoso) and two organic coffees (!Tierra!

They're not cheap, however you must purchase their official pods.

The Vertuo line uses an entirely different method of technology from OriginalLine machines that use espresso capsules (and are still in existence). They read the barcode of each capsule, automatically adapting the brewing parameters to make the perfect cup. They also have a centrifusion device that spins the capsules to get the best pod coffee machine flavor and thickest crema.

However they're not as intuitive as some of our other choices. The lid only opens when the machine is ready and it takes about 30 seconds for the capsule to heat up. The machine doesn't come with a milk frother like the other pod coffee makers listed on this list, so you'll have to shell out an additional PS90 or so to purchase an additional Aeroccino for those who want to make lattes and cappuccinos.

They also require more regular maintenance than other models - refilling the water tank, emptying used pod containers, and decaling. However, they have an application that reminds you of these tasks and includes tools such as store locators and capsule recycling. If you pair your machine with an IntelliPort, you can even operate it using voice commands, which is a nice feature if you're making coffee in the dark at 4am or have limited hand strength.
