There are more than 70 varieties to select from, from brands such as Kenco and Costa to Costa, Milka and Cadbury's. The machine offers a variety of T discs, which include ones for hot and tea chocolate. We discovered the coffee it produced to be of high quality, albeit slightly less than some of the other pod machines we have reviewed in this round-up. It also steamed the milk for the caffe latte in a short time and produced a creamy taste without being too thick. However, it must be not forgotten that the frothy milk made from T Discs contains sugar which isn't a huge issue in itself however, may not be to everyone's liking.

Place a pod into the machine, select your cup size and the machine whirs into action, making espresso lungo, double espresso gran lungo, alto drinks and mugs with a thick layer of silky foam.

When you lift the lever the used pod will fall into a specially spent pod tray beneath the drip tray. It's not the fastest machine to make coffee in 30 seconds for an espresso shot and 90 seconds for a lungo – however, the results are always impressive, with great crema and a rich, smooth taste. The machine will also notify you when it's time to refill the tank of water or the pod bin. This machine is a big seller due to the fact that you can use any Lavazza pod.

The pods are recyclable, so you can dispose of them in food waste bins for your council bins or garden compost. 4. Nespresso Vertuo Pod Machine Nespresso machines are among the top pods coffee makers for those looking for a reliable, quick and steady brew. They are quick to heat up and are easy to use. Just insert a capsule and press a button, and you're ready to go. They create an intense, creamy crema that can be added to drinks for greater flavor and thickness. They're not cheap, though they are expensive, and you need to buy their official pods. The Vertuo line is a different machine than the OriginalLine machines, which still use espresso capsules. The Vertuo line scans the barcode of each capsule, and then automatically adjusts the brewing parameters to create a perfect cup. And they include a centrifusion system that spins the capsule to extract the best flavors and the most dense crema. The machines aren't quite as intuitive as the other options. For instance the lid is only opened when the machine is ready and it takes about 30 seconds to heat up enough to put in the capsule. The machine doesn't come with milk frothers as do other pod coffee makers listed on this list, meaning you'll have to shell out an additional PS90 or so to purchase a separate Aeroccino for those who want to make lattes and cappuccinos. They also require more maintenance than other models – filling the water tank and emptying used pod containers and descaling – but they come with an app that reminds you to complete these tasks, and provides tools such as capsule recyclers and store locators. And if you pair your machine with an IntelliPort it is possible to control it with voice commands, which is a nice feature for those who make coffee in the dark at 4am, or have limited hand strength. 5.
