The machine can be loud but that's not a major issue. It's also quite small and will fit on small counters. However, if you want a Keurig that has a larger variety of sizes or a carafe for traditional drip brewing, you should consider other alternatives.

The Keurig K-Select single serve coffee maker is a blend of elegant design and efficient features to help make your perfect cup every time.

2. Tassimo My Way

This is the best option for coffee lovers who want a machine that can do more than just making your regular cup. It can make a variety drinks including hot cocoa. The large 1.3-litre water tank can allow multiple cups to be brewed at the same time. The machine can be warmed up in just three seconds, and it has a built-in milk container that allows you to make latte or cappuccino. It also features a touch-sensitive display which lets you adjust the temperature, intensity, and quantity of your preferred drink.

Tassimo My Way uses T Discs that are an assortment of ingredients can be used to make your drink. There are over 70 different kinds which include Kenco, Costa, Milka, and Cadbury's. The machine has a range of T discs, including those for hot tea and chocolate.

We found the coffee it made to be of good quality, although slightly less than the other pod machines featured in this round-up. It also produced a silky mouthfeel and steamed milk to make caffe lattes quickly. It is important to remember that the milk that is frothy has sugar in it which, though not a major problem it might not be a favorite for everyone.

The Tassimo My Way is easy to clean, thanks to the drip tray, removable parts of the brewing unit, and the water tank being dishwasher-safe. There's an Brita filter that is included as well as a cleaning disc that can also be used. A helpful indicator light will let you know when it's time to descale, and a reservoir of water keeps the limescale to an absolute minimum. The machine is Energy Star rated, which reduces its electricity consumption up to 15%.

3. Lavazza Lungo Pod Machine

The Nespresso-compatible pod espresso machine from Lavazza, made in collaboration with Sage, is one of the best-looking machines available. The machine is made of sturdy and attractive materials. It has a neat steam wand that can be adjusted to make cappuccinos or lattes, and a stainless steel milk jug. Put a pod in and choose the cup size and the machine will whir into action brewing espresso, lungo, double espresso gran lungo, mug and alto drinks with a thick layer of silky frosting.

As with most pod machines you load the pod via an opening on the top and drop it in place. The machine punctures the capsule, then seals it. When you lift the lever, the used pod will fall into a designated used Pod tray that is located beneath the drip tray.

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

One of the main selling points for this machine is that it can use it with any Lavazza brand pod - there are seven in total including espresso ground (Qualita Rossa, Intenso, Passionale and Delizioso) and two decaffeinated (Dek Cremoso) and two organic coffees (!Tierra! Bio). It's not cheap, but if you get a subscription plan that combines this pod coffee machine with pod delivery it could come at a similar cost to a traditional bean-to-cup machine. Its slimline design allows it to be fitted neatly into the smallest kitchens, while the pods coffee machine are compostable, so you can put them into your local food waste bins or own garden compost.

4. Nespresso Vertuo Pod Machine

Nespresso machines are among the best pod coffee pods machine makers for those who want quick reliable, consistent, and reliable coffee. They are quick to heat up and are easy to use. Just insert a capsule and press a button and you're good to go. They also create a delicious crema that can be added to your drinks for added flavour and thickness. They're not cheap, though, and you have to buy their official pods.

The Vertuo line utilizes a different technology than OriginalLine machines that use espresso capsules (and are still in existence). They scan each capsule's barcode, automatically adapting the brewing parameters to make a perfect cup. They also have a centrifusion machine that spins the capsules to make the best flavor and thickest crema.

However they're not as intuitive as our other picks. For instance, the lid only opens when the machine is ready, and it takes 30 seconds to get hot enough to put in the capsule. They don't include a milk frother, like some of the other pod machines in this list. Therefore, you'll need spend an extra PS90 to purchase a separate Aeroccino to make cappuccinos and lattes.

These machines also require more maintenance than other models - filling the water tank, emptying the pod containers used for descaling - but they come with an app which reminds you to do these tasks, and provides tools such as store locators and capsule recyclers. If you connect your machine with an IntelliPort you can control it using voice commands. This is a great feature when you're making coffee at 4am in the dark or have limited strength.

5. SMEG Barista Pod Machine

This sleek machine is the result of a lovechild between an adored Italian brand, and a renowned company that makes kitchen appliances. It comes with all the sleek, retro curves that SMEG is famous for, as well as the ability to make espresso and lungo drinks with ease. It also comes with a programmable shot setting as well as dual-height drip trays and a pod bin that can be removed.

Its simple control panel looks sleek and doesn't distract you from the functionality. It comes with three baskets that can be swapped for different types of capsules. You can use loose-ground beans (although the use of a separate grinder is required).

The SMEG Barista Pod Machine doesn't include a milk pitcher however, it does come with a built-in Pannarello milk frother that can froth both soymilk and cowmilk well. It also comes with a portafilter that measures 51mm, which is smaller than the conventional commercial filter. It's pressurised, which means that you won't get the taste of stale food that is left behind. It also comes with a tamper which can also be used as a scoop.

The SMEG is among the most expensive pod capsule coffee machine machines on our list however it's certainly worth it if you're a fan of the retro look or like the ability to whip up espresso-based drinks.
