A Look At The Future How Will The Best Pod Coffee Machine Industry Look Like In 10 Years?
One of the Best Pod Coffee Makers on the Market

Pod coffee machines have an undeserved reputation for being watery, under-strength drinks. Fortunately, the best pods can offer much more than that.


The illy Bruvi utilizes B-Pods instead of K-Cups or Nespresso pods. It has a variety of capsules and is easy to customize.

1. Cuisinart DualBrew Pro Specialty Coffee System

One of the top pod coffee makers available on the market, this combination single-serve and drip model has the best blend of features that we have tested. It has a 12-cup glass carafe that brews traditional grounds, and a single-serve side that can accept any kind of K-Cup Keurig-like, reusable or Keurig pod. The carafe side comes with a programmable timer and an "strong" setting that provides more flavor than normal settings. It has an adjustable frother that folds away and is integrated into the carafe to serve cappuccinos and lattes.

The single-serve version can brew up to 18 ounces of coffee at a time using any size K-Cup, or a the reusable Cuisinart HomeBarista cups (a separate reservoir for water is included). pod making machines utilizes Nespresso VertuoLine capsules and analyzes the barcodes of each pod to adjust the machine's settings. With its Extreme Brew Technology, it's faster at brewing full pots than a leading Keurig. It also has advanced features, like a 24 hour start, brew intensity controls and automatic shutoff.

The device is easy to use despite the fact that it has two operating modes. It also cleans up easily. The pod adapter is reusable, and the needles are easily removable for cleaning, and the mesh filter is washable in your sink. It's a bit bulky and heavy for counter space however, it's an excellent option for anyone who wants the convenience of pods or the versatility of ground coffee.

This simple cold brew maker is a great value option that delivers an incredibly smooth and delicious cup. It comes with a timer that can be programmed as well as a built-in milk maker and a reusable filter and can make 12 cups of java at once. It also comes with a large reservoir for water and a glass carafe to serve hot coffee.

2. Nespresso VertuoLine Next

If you're already accustom to the trend of pod coffee machines and want to upgrade from your current Keurig-style machine, this is an excellent option. Nespresso's new espresso maker is sleek, fast and can create five different drinks on one small chassis. It's also on sale now which makes it a great option for those with a tight budget.

The VertuoLine Next heats up very quickly and is extremely easy to use by pressing a single button that automatically adjusts to the kind of capsule you're using. It makes use of the patented Nespresso pods that feature a barcode to tell the machine which type of espresso or coffee is being used. This ensures you get the correct temperature and pressure for every drink. The pods also spin fast during brewing, creating a decadent layer of foam, known as crema. It is typically found on traditional Italian style espresso.

The only drawback is that it's louder than other pod machines and you can't reuse capsules. The aluminum used in Nespresso capsules is recyclable, so you can recycle them at your local UPS store or on Nespresso's website.

The machine is also quite expensive compared to other pod coffee machines, especially when you factor in the cost of buying pods. If you're already a pod coffee fan, this is a small price to pay for consistently barista-like results. You can also add the Nespresso Aeroccino+ Milk Frother to your machine for lattes or cappuccinos. You can also purchase it in bundles, which contain a few samples of the Nespresso pods as well as a coffee maker. This will save you money up front.

3. Illy X7.1 Iperespresso

When it comes to brewing, most pod machines follow the same pattern - a capsule goes in the top and you press a button and coffee flows out. But every now and then, there is a machine that is a complete blow to the water, like is the case with the Illy X7.1 Iperespresso. It has a unique system for capsules that bind them into a portafilter handle. The machine produces espresso that is comparable to the kind you get at a cafe without the mess and fuss of a traditional espresso machine.

The X7.1 is compatible only with illy MIE pods, which are made of premium, high-quality beans. Each capsule is stocked with precisely proportioned amounts of espresso ground, which is then brewed using a unique two-stage process to create a thick and rich crema. The extraction happens completely inside the capsule, which means that the coffee and machine never meet and cleaning up is a breeze.

This coffee maker is equipped with a Pannarello Steam Wand that can be used to make milky drinks such as cappuccino and macchiato latte. Its unique design, created by the famous Italian architect Luca Trazzi, is sure to stand out in your kitchen. Its slim, round shapes and soft-touch buttons are reminiscent of classic Italian espresso makers from the 1960s, while seamlessly integrating modern technology.

This machine requires more attention, particularly when using the steam wand. This is because excessive air can sometimes prevent the hot water from flowing correctly, preventing the machine from working. If this happens, you'll need to wait a couple of minutes before preparing another coffee to allow the air to escape.

4. Bosch Tassimo Vivy 2 TAS 140x

The Bosch Tassimo Vivy is one of the most well-known pod coffee machines on the market. The small size, attractive pricing, and the ease of use are major reasons to buy. Does this machine meet the standards set by the parent company? We took it for a spin at The Coffee Bazaar HQ to find out.

The Vivy is one of the most simple pod coffee machines on the market, but it doesn't skimp on performance. It can make drinks with a simple press of a button. It scans a barcode on the T DisC to determine the type of drink to prepare. It also automatically determines the correct amount of froth and water for each drink, using Intellibrew technology to achieve an excellent result every time.

It's very easy to use. Simply insert the desired T disc and choose the size of your drink. The Vivy comes with 40 different drinks and a milk jug to make cappuccinos or lattes. It takes only three seconds to warm and automatically shuts off after five minutes to conserve energy.

It's easy to clean too, with a cleverly designed descaler that slots into the side of the machine. There are separate instructions for this, but the process is easy and quick.

As an added benefit, if sign up your Vivy with Bosch, you'll get a discount on your first order of T DISCs and receive personalised offers, recommendations and suggestions. You can also monitor the status of your machine and check how much it's used. It's worth registering your machine when you purchase it, as well.
