The standout feature is Bruvi, which makes use of B-Corp Certified treated polypropylene pods which will break down in landfill when you're done. It's one of the simplest machines you can use.

It has an additional caddy on the side for pod storage and is really quiet to operate. There are a lot of good reviews on Amazon and Currys from owners of this machine.

The cost of the recyclable T Discs is the main drawback of this machine. Some people are not happy with the price, but others are willing spend a bit more for a machine which produces a high-quality cup of coffee or other drinks. You can purchase T-Discs that can be reused online, in supermarkets, or in some coffee shops. You can also recycle them through the TASSIMO PodBack scheme.

2. Bosch Tassimo Vivy 2 TAS 140x

The Bosch Vivy 2 is a great pod coffee machine that will help you maximize the benefits of your beverage. It comes with a wide selection of T-Discs (the small capsules that contain hot drinks) to pick from, including more sweet options like hot lattes, tea, and chocolate. It even comes with an ice cube to make frothy Cappuccinos. The machine also has a fast pre-heating process, which means you can get your coffee on the table quickly.

The Vivy 2 has an intuitive interface and simple-to-follow instructions. Simply insert a T-Disc, and the machine scans it to determine exactly how much water you should add, meaning that you don't have to perform any manual adjustments on your own. It's also a smaller unit than other units we've seen that makes it more compact and easy to store on your kitchen counter. However the smaller size will mean that it has a smaller water tank and it'll have to be refilled every five minutes or at least every five minutes or. As with other Tassimo models the Vivy 2 doesn't have an internal bin for the used T-Discs, so you'll have to empty and recycle them individually after each beverage.

This machine features a smart water filter in the tank, which reduces calcium levels, thereby protecting your system from limescale. It will also ensure that your coffee tastes excellent. The Vivy 2 also has dual coffee settings, meaning you can pull a short espresso shot or a longer lungo. It also has an excellent "ready" indicator on the lid, which will let you know when it's ready to serve your drink.

This is a high-performance, well-designed pod coffee maker that comes with a variety of useful features and a beautiful design. The absence of a reuseable coffee filter and the fact that its coffee isn't as smooth as the other options on our list means that it's not in 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

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 has advanced technology and a sleek design that is sure to impress in your kitchen.

The X7.1 Iperespresso uses illy's innovative capsule system, which simplifies espresso-making and eliminates the requirement to grind beans or measure portions. The two-stage extraction process produces a full-bodied espresso and a rich crema. The machine also has a stainless steel internal thermoblock and a Pannarello steam wand that can be used to make lattes and cappuccinos.

Contrary to other coffee machine 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 an authentic barista experience and lets you make drinks that taste better. It's also much easier to clean compared to other coffee machines, since there is no drawer where capsules can accumulate and block.

The X7.1 Iperespresso has its flaws, however. For one, it's only compatible with illy pods, which are expensive. It's also a challenge for some users due to its portafilter design and portafilter style of brewing.

While the X7.1 Iperespresso isn't easy for novices, it's worth the purchase for anyone who wishes to brew espresso and other delicious coffee drinks at home. With its sophisticated features and sleek design the X7.1 Iperespresso offers an excellent value for the money.

The Y1 is less functional than other pod-based machines. The Y1 only has two buttons, one for each pod size and another button that automatically fills the cup with hot water. It also has smaller water tanks which means it'll need to be filled more frequently than other coffee pod machines. If you're not bothered by this minor flaw the Y1 is a great option for those looking for a simple and easy-to-use pod-based machine.

4. Nespresso Vertuo

The Nespresso Vertuo coffee maker line is a premium choice for espresso and cappuccino lovers. They make use of Nespresso proprietary pods, which contain a blend of espresso and coffee, with an additional layer of rich crema.

Vertuo machines have a single button operation that lets them make espresso shots as well as coffee cups with the push of only a couple of buttons. The machine scans each capsule's barcode in order to determine the best drink for it, and then set water temperature, extraction times and spin speeds in accordance with. The machine can also be used in conjunction with Nespresso Aeroccino milk frother to make lattes and cappuccinos.

During testing I found this machine to be incredibly easy to use and capable of producing consistently flavorful and full-bodied coffee. Each of the six brew sizes--Espresso or Double Espresso and the rich Gran Lungo, mug of coffee, or the larger Alto ---was consistently perfect. We utilized the Nespresso app on our coffee machines capsules mobile devices to monitor the water and pod levels. This made it simple to keep track of refills or emptying.

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

The machine is noisy and takes an extended time to heat up. Be careful to keep everything away from to the container of the capsule because it could puncture the pods. We have measured the energy consumption and found that it uses 0.007 kWh for an espresso and turns off after 9 minutes.

This model isn't equipped with drip tray, so be prepared to set your cup on a plate or cup. The used capsules drop into a holder with a removable lid that you can empty and recycle into one of the Nespresso recycling bags.
