Coffee Pods
First and foremost you’ll need to decide what type of pods you want to use. There are a number of popular brands out there, and it’s worth bearing in mind that each machine is only compatible with a single type of pod. While each system has its own pros and cons, we can say that all pod varieties make coffee of different lengths and strengths, with different blends and speciality drinks available within each range. It’s worth taking into account that each brand will also hit a slightly different price point. It can take a little bit of research to settle on the right type of pods for you, but it’ll pay dividends when you can sit and enjoy your favourite blend.
Controls
Once you’ve settled on a range of pods you can start to hone in on your ideal machine. One of the standout differences between different models is the available level of control. While nearly all machines make coffee of different lengths, true aficionados may want to look into machines that allow you to adjust temperature and coffee strength as well. Conversely, if you value speed and simplicity, a machine with more automatic functionality may suit you best.
Additional Features
Finally, there are additional features you’ll want to consider. While basic machines produce simple black coffees, if you’re looking for the full barista experience, it’s worth considering machines that can also heat and froth milk. Some machines give you the ability to use milk pods as well as coffee pods, but you’ll need one with dedicated milk-frothing capabilities if you’re after that authentic barista-style finish.
