The Vivy 2 has an intuitive interface with easy-to-follow directions. Simply insert a T-Disc and the machine scans it to determine how much water you should add, meaning you don't need to make any manual adjustments yourself. It's also smaller than some of the other units we've seen, making it easier to place on your counter. However the smaller size will mean that it has a smaller water tank, so it'll need to be filled every five minutes or at least every five minutes or. The Vivy 2 is no different from other Tassimo models in that it doesn't have an internal bin to store the T-Discs that are used. You'll need to empty them and recycle them after each brew.

This machine has a clever water filter inside the tank that helps reduce calcium, protecting your system from limescale. It will also ensure that your coffee tastes excellent.

It's a well-designed, high-performance pod coffee machine with lots of useful features and a nice design. The absence of a reusable filter for coffee and the fact that the coffee isn't as smooth as some of the other models on our list mean that it's not in the top ten pod coffee makers. It's still worth considering 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 creates waves in a market dominated by Nespresso and its irresistible George Clooney advertisements. The X7.1 Iperespresso is an elegant espresso machine that is perfect for any home. It features advanced technology and a sleek look that is sure to draw attention to your kitchen.

The X7.1 Iperespresso is equipped with the innovative capsules system of illy. This makes espresso preparation easier and eliminates the need to grind beans or measure portions. The patented two-stage extraction process produces full-bodied espresso and a rich crema. The machine also comes with a stainless steel internal thermoblock and a Pannarello steam wand to make cappuccinos and lattes.

Unlike other coffee pod machines like the X7.1 Iperespresso requires you to prepare the pods coffee machines in the portafilter instead of putting them into a slot at the top of the machine. This gives the X7.1 Iperespresso an authentic barista experience and lets you create drinks that taste better. It's also easier to clean compared to other coffee pod machines since there is no drawer where capsules can get clogged up and collect.

The X7.1 Iperespresso does not come without its faults, however. It's compatible only with illy pods, which can be expensive. It's also difficult for some users due to its portafilter style brewing.

The X7.1 Iperespresso is quite a test for newbies, but it's worth the investment for anyone looking to make delicious espresso and other coffee drinks at home. The X7.1 Iperespresso is a great value for money with its modern features and sleek look.

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 a smaller reservoir of water, meaning it's going to need to be filled more often than other pod machines. If you don't mind this minor issue the Y1 is a great option for those seeking a straightforward and easy-to-use pod-based machine.

4. Nespresso Vertuo

The Nespresso Vertuo line of coffee makers is a premium option that targets cappuccino and espresso drinkers. They use Nespresso's proprietary pods, which contain a mix of espresso and coffee with an additional layer of rich crema on top.

The Vertuo machines come with a single-button operation and are able to make short espresso shots and full cups of coffee at the touch of a button. The machine reads each capsule's barcode in order to determine the best beverage for it, and then adjusts water temperature, extraction times, and spin speeds accordingly. The machine can be used in conjunction with Nespresso Aeroccino+ milk frother to make lattes and cappuccinos.

During my testing I found the machine very easy to use and capable of producing consistently rich and delicious coffee. Each of the six brew sizes - Espresso, Double Espresso, smooth Gran Lungo, indulgent Mug of Coffee, or the larger Alto--came out perfect every time. We utilized the Nespresso app on our mobile device to monitor the pod and water levels. This made it simple to track refills or emptying.

While this machine is straightforward for the user, it's not as versatile as the Keurig K-Cup lines of machines, and can be frustrating in the event that you're unable to locate the exact kind of tea or coffee that you're looking for in your area. It's also more expensive than Keurig, and while it comes with a basic pack of capsules to get started, you're locked into the brand's costly Vertuo capsules after that.

Another drawback is that the machine takes a long time to heat up and is quite noisy when it's the process of making. Be sure to not leave anything close to the container for your capsules in case it punctures the pods. We have measured the energy consumption and found that it uses 0.007 kWh for espresso and shuts off after 9 minutes.

This model doesn't come with an holder for drips, so you will need to place your cup onto the table or mug. The capsules are stored in a holder that is removable that you can take out and recycle using one of Nespresso’s recycling bags.
