2. Bosch Tassimo Vivy 2 TAS 140x

This machine also has a fast pre-heating process, which means you can have your coffee on the table quickly.
The Vivy 2 has an intuitive interface and easy-to-follow instructions. You simply insert a T-Disc, and the machine scans it to determine precisely how much water you should add, meaning you don't have to perform any manual adjustments yourself. It's also smaller than some of the other models we've seen, making it easier to place on your counter. The smaller size also means that the water tank is smaller, meaning you'll need to refill it every five minutes. And, like other Tassimo models the Vivy 2 doesn't have an internal bin for the old T-Discs, which means you'll need to empty them and recycle them separately after each drink.
The machine also comes with an in-tank water filter which reduces calcium levels, which helps safeguard the system from limescale and ensure that your coffee tastes excellent. The Vivy 2 has dual coffee settings so you can make a lungo or a short shot of espresso. It also comes with a handy "ready" indicator on the lid that lets you know when it's ready to serve your beverage.
It's a high-performance, well-designed pod coffee maker that has a number of useful features and a stylish design. The absence of a reusable coffee machines with capsules filter as well as the fact that the coffee isn't as smooth as some of the other options on our list mean that it doesn't quite make the top ten list of pod coffee makers. It's still worth a look in the event that you're looking to find an easy-to-use and efficient pod-based beverage maker.
3. Illy X7.1 Iperespresso
In a market that's dominated by Nespresso's irresistible George Clooney ads, illy is quietly making waves with its own machines. The X7.1 Iperespresso is an elegant espresso machine that's ideal for any home. It's sleek design and advanced technology will make a statement.
The X7.1 Iperespresso uses illy's innovative capsule system that simplifies espresso-making and eliminates the need for grinding beans or measuring portions. The patented two-stage extraction process produces full-bodied espresso and a rich crema. The machine is fitted with a stainless-steel internal thermoblock, as well as a Pannarello Steam Wand to make cappuccinos or lattes.
In contrast to other coffee pod making machines machines like the X7.1 Iperespresso requires you to prepare the pods using the portafilter instead of putting them into a slot on top of the machine. This gives the X7.1 Iperespresso a more barista-like appearance and allows you to make drinks with a more authentic taste. It's also much less difficult to clean than other coffee pod machines because there's no drawer where the capsules accumulate and get clogged up.
The X7.1 Iperespresso does not come without its flaws, but. It's not compatible with illy pods, which are quite expensive. In addition, its portafilter-style drinking process is a bit difficult for some users to get the grasp of.
While the X7.1 Iperespresso can be challenging for newbies, it's worth the investment for anyone who wants to make espresso and other delicious coffee drinks at home. The X7.1 Iperespresso is a great value for money due to its advanced features and sleek look.
The Y1 has fewer functions than other pod-based machines. The Y1 has just two buttons one for each pod size and another button that automatically fills the cup with hot water. It also has a smaller water tank which means it'll need to be refilled more often than other coffee pod machines. However, if you're not bothered by this minor flaw, the Y1 is an excellent option for anyone seeking a simple and easy-to-use pod-based machine.
4. Nespresso Vertuo
The Nespresso Vertuo line of coffee makers is a top choice that targets espresso and cappuccino drinkers. They make use of Nespresso proprietary pods, which contain a blend of espresso and coffee, with an additional layer of rich crema.
The Vertuo machines come with a single-button operation that allows you to make espresso shots of a short duration and full cups of coffee with the touch of one button. The machine scans the barcode on each capsule in order to determine the type of drink it is most suitable for, and sets the temperature of the water and extraction time as well as spin speed in line with. The machine can also be used with Nespresso Aeroccino + milk frother to make lattes and cappuccinos.
In my tests I discovered the machine to be extremely easy to use and capable of consistently producing rich and delicious coffee. Each of the six brew sizes--Espresso or Double Espresso and the rich Gran Lungo, mug of coffee, or the bigger Alto--was always perfect. We used the Nespresso app on our mobile devices to track the levels of pods and water. This made it easy to track refills or emptying.
The machine is simple to use, but it's not as flexible as the Keurig K-Cup machines. It can be frustrating if you are unable to find the exact cup of coffee or tea that you want. It is also more expensive than Keurig. While it comes with a starting set of capsules, you are locked into the brand’s expensive Vertuo caps after that.
The machine is noisy and takes a long time to heat up. Additionally, you have to be sure not to place anything near the capsule container as it can puncture pods when they're not kept away from. We have measured the energy consumption and found that it consumes 0.007 kWh for an espresso and turns off after 9 minutes.
This model doesn't come with an holder for drips, so you'll need to place your cup on a plate or mug. The capsules are placed in a removable holder that you can take out and recycle with one of Nespresso’s recycling bags.
