The machine can be noisy but that's not a major issue. It is also fairly small and will fit in tiny counter spaces. If you're looking for a Keurig with a greater variety of sizes or a carafe to drip-brew your coffee, you may be interested in other options.

Keurig K-Select is a single-serve coffee maker that combines a sleek design with more intuitive features. This lets you brew the perfect cup of coffee every time.

2. Tassimo My Way

This is the best option for coffee lovers who want a machine that can do more than just make your typical cup. It's designed to make a wide range of drinks like hot chocolate and tea, and comes with a huge 1.3 Liter water tank that allows you to brew multiple cups at once. The machine can be heated within three minutes, and includes a milk container that allows you to make latte or a cappuccino. It also has a touch-sensitive LCD that allows you to set the temperature, intensity, and quantity of your desired beverage.

Tassimo My Way uses T Discs, which are a set of ingredients can be used to create your drink. There are more than 70 different varieties to choose from, including brands such as Kenco and Costa to Costa, Milka and Cadbury's. The machine also provides the option of T Discs for tea and hot chocolate as well.

We found the coffee it produced to be of a good quality, although slightly less than that of other pod machines we have reviewed in this round-up. It also gave a smooth mouthfeel, and steam-cooked milk for a caffe lattes quickly. However, it should be noted that the frothy milk made from T Discs is a source of sugar that, while not a huge issue however, may not be to everyone's liking.

Tassimo My Way's removable components including the drip tray, and the water tank are dishwasher-safe. A Brita filter is included, as well as a cleaning disk. A helpful indicator light lets you know when it's time to descale, and a water reservoir keeps the limescale at an absolute minimum. The machine is certified Energy Star, which helps reduce the amount of electricity it uses by up to 15%..

3. Lavazza Lungo Pod Machine

This Nespresso-compatible pod coffee machine (https://www-coffeee-Uk91567.canariblogs.com) from Lavazza which was developed in collaboration with Sage, is one of the most attractive machines on the market. The machine is made of sturdy and attractive materials. It has a sleek steam wand that can be adjusted to make cappuccinos and lattes, as well as a stainless-steel milk jug. It can make espresso, double espressos, lungos, mugs, gran lungos and altos using an incredibly thick layer of froth.

Like most pod pod-making machines, you load a pod via a hatch at 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 pod will fall into a dedicated spent Pod tray underneath the drip tray.

It's not the fastest machine to brew, taking 30 seconds for an espresso shot and about 90 seconds for a lungo - but the results are consistently impressive, with great crema and a smooth, rich taste. The machine will also notify you when it is time to refill the tank of water or the pod bin.

The main selling point of this machine is that you can use it with any Lavazza-branded pod - there are seven in total including espresso ground (Qualita Rossa, Intenso, Passionale and Delizioso) Two decaffeinated (Dek Cremoso) and two organic coffees (!Tierra! Bio). It's not cheap, but with a subscription deal that combines this pod coffee machine with capsules machine with a pod delivery service it could come at a similar cost to a traditional bean-to-cup machine. This machine's slimline design allows it to be easily incorporated into even the smallest kitchens. Additionally, the pods themselves are compostable so you can pop them into your local food waste bins or own garden compost.

4. Nespresso Vertuo Pod Machine

Nespresso machines are some of the top pod coffee makers for those who want a fast steady, reliable, and consistent drink. They heat up quickly and are extremely simple to use--just put a capsule coffee maker in, push a button and you're done. They also produce a rich crema that can be added to your drinks for extra thickness and flavor. The official pods aren't inexpensive and you'll need purchase them.

The Vertuo line is a different machine than the OriginalLine machines, which use espresso capsules. The Vertuo line is able to read the barcode of each capsule, and then automatically adjusts the brewing parameters in order to make an ideal cup. They also have a centrifusion system that spins the capsule in order to extract the fullest flavors and thickest crema.

The machines aren't as intuitive as our other choices. The lid only opens when the machine is ready and it takes about 30 seconds for the capsule to get hot. The machine doesn't come with the milk frother like some of the other pod machines on this list. You'll have to shell out an additional PS90 to buy a separate Aeroccino to make cappuccinos and lattes.

These machines also require more maintenance than other models - filling the water tank, emptying used pod containers and descaling however they have an app that reminds you to perform these tasks, and offers tools such as capsule recyclers and store locators. If you pair your machine with an IntelliPort you can control it using voice commands. This is great if you are making coffee at 4am in the dark or have limited strength.

5. SMEG Barista Pod Machine

The sleek and stylish pod machine is the lovechild between an adored Italian brand and a renowned manufacturer of kitchen appliances. It features the retro, sleek curves that SMEG are famous for, and it can brew the espresso and lungo drinks. It comes with a programable setting for the shot, two-height drip trays, and pod bins that can be removed.

This coffee maker allows you to make an instant cup of lungo or espresso in the morning or during breaks at work. Its simple control panel is sleek and doesn't distract from its purpose. It comes with three baskets that can be swapped for different types of capsules. You can also make use of loose ground beans (although you'll need an additional grinder).

The SMEG Barista Pod Machine does not come with a milk pitcher. It does however have a Pannarello built-in milk frother that can froth cow and soymilk well. It also comes with a portafilter that measures 51mm, which is smaller than the conventional commercial filter. It's pressurised and this is a plus since it means you won't get that stale, leftover grind taste. It also includes a plastic tool which doubles as scoop.

The SMEG is the most expensive machine on our list. However, it's worth it if you're looking for something retro or you enjoy making espresso drinks in a hurry. This is a great choice for those who are new to making coffee and don't want to deal with the burden of grinding, measuring and tamping beans by yourself.
