Princess Capsule Coffee Maker

Product Information

Height-adjustable drip tray: If you like to vary your cup size between a short shot and a longer mugful, look for a stable drip tray that can be moved up or down to minimise splashing. The best pod machines are popular for their convenience, as they are easy to use and require minimal cleanup. Of course, which coffee machine you buy will depend on how much work you want to put into making the perfect brew. Cool and compact by design, this Nespresso-compatible machine is made for the most ardent coffee lover, with our tester declaring it the most accurate and consistent machine they have tested to date. Ten adjustable pre-set coffee styles, including Kyoto-style slow drip, plus the option to brew your own manually, also make it the customisability king.

The illy Iperespresso Y3.3 makes a mean espresso or americano. It arrived with a box full of classico roast and intense brew options, and both tasted rich and aromatic when testing. The quality of this coffee is excellent, but because there's no option to make a milky coffee you may find that it's a little restrictive. Of course, you can pair it with a milk frother to get your morning latte, and it's a lovely compact option for small homes. Whichever colour or finish you choose for your home coffee corner, every Vertuo Next is a smart automatic coffee machine that reads each capsule’s unique code and tailors all brewing parameters to deliver a bespoke brew. Our Centrifusion™ technology spins the inserted pod to extract your coffee with a velvety crema and the winning aroma of freshly brewed coffee—giving your home the inviting smell of the coffee shop but leaving you with none of the clean-up. Used capsules automatically drop neatly into the reservoir, ready for you to easily recycle. The best pod coffee machines are also generally more compact and designed for single cup brewing. How often should I clean my coffee pod machine? Moderate coffee drinking is good for health: Yup, it's true! Your favourite brew can provide you with disease-obliterating anti-oxidants. In fact, the NHS did a recent study that shows people who drink coffee are less prone to various diseases. Coffee is also said to be quite good for the liver and can reduce your risk of liver disease. The NHS listed a variety of health benefits of drinking 3-4 cups of coffee per day, which you can read here. The best way to get your healthy dose of daily coffee is to leave the preparation work up to the coffee makers!

This model is quite a bit smaller than its predecessors and as such, some of the original assets have been tweaked. The water tank has been reduced to 600ml, while the capsule bin fits a maximum of eight used pods. Nespresso has also reduced the space underneath the brew head, meaning the tallest mug you’ll be able to fit below is 8cm, or 12cm if you remove the drip tray. Nonetheless, if space is your main concern and you’re happy to look past these minor grumbles, the Pop is a sleek and simple coffee machine providing excellent value for money. However, other machines may come with different benefits at the expense of capsule compatibility. Some units may come with a reusable pod that you can fill with your own grounds. Milk frothing There are two ways a pod coffee machine can make frothy cappuccinos, lattes and flat whites. The first is by using dried or UHT milk pods – these are great if you don’t have access to a fridge but may not be to everyone’s taste. The other is by a separate or conjoined milk frother, such as the Aeroccino that often accompanies Nespresso machines. A multi capsule machine is any unit that can brew coffee from multiple different brands of coffee pod. These machines will often come with different brewheads that can be swapped out as needed when using different types of pod. Multiple filter baskets: if you're after an espresso machine that can make double shots as well as single, choose a machine that offers two or more filter baskets for loading into the portafilter.

Depending on your budget and desired amount of control over the coffee-making process, look out for these features. It is recommended to research both options and consider factors such as taste preference, price, pod options, and machine features before making a decision. Coffee pod machine vs other coffee machines? Coffee grind adjustability: different coffees are best with different grind levels. For example, espresso needs finely ground coffee, whereas filter coffee works well with a coarser grind. So if your machine is grinding the beans prior to brewing them, adjustability means better brews. The main difference between a coffee pod machine and other coffee machines is the way they brew coffee.Yes, it's a pricey choice, but we found that everything about the Voicy feels very high quality. Of course you need to add a pod and a cup before even using Alexa, but it's still very handy to be able to use the in-built speaker to play music, tell you the weather, or even a joke. While multi-pod coffee machines are designed to accommodate different types of coffee pods or capsules, combi coffee machines are multi-function coffee machines that offer various brewing methods, such as espresso, drip coffee, and even steam-based milk frothing. Pod options for multi-pod coffee machines

The Nespresso Vertuo pop is the latest addition to the Vertuo range and is supremely easy to use with its simple, single-button control scheme. It works with Nespresso’s larger Vertuo capsules to brew four coffee sizes – espresso (40ml), double espresso (80ml), lungo (120ml) and mug (230ml). Alongside its variety of pods, the Pop comes in a large range of eye-catching colours including spicy red, pacific blue, aqua mint and mango yellow to name a few.The KBG select is a stylish, easy-to-use filter coffee machine. It remains simple in its function, with one button to turn it on and another that allows you to move between a full or half-jug option, the latter of which slows the brewing process to preserve flavour when you don’t need a full pot. For those focused on fine tasting coffee as well as functionality, the Moccamaster brews at a temperature of between 92°C and 96°C to draw the best flavour from your coffee grounds. You can ask Alexa to make you a coffee, long coffee, hot coffee, or your favourite coffee (which can be chosen using the Lavazza app). While there are only two coffee preset buttons, you can change what type of coffee they make using the app. This adjusts the length of the brew, and we found that the pods are certainly potent enough to make a delicious and rich americano. Finding the right multi-capsule coffee maker will depend on exactly what you expect from a good cup of coffee.
