Using a pod machine is very easy. Start by making sure that there is enough water in the tank. If there is no water, fill it up to the recommended level, which is usually indicated by a line on the container. Turn on the machine, then take a capsule, place it in the container and slide in. Finally, press a button (which often has a coffee cup symbol), and within seconds your cup of coffee is ready to be enjoyed.
The most important thing when looking for a pod machine is to buy one that suits your needs and budget. There are some important points to keep in mind, such as how much you're prepared to pay, how much space you can spare in the kitchen, noise level, quality, and how easy it is to maintain. Think about it and then compare different models. For example, you can read our large test of pod machines to see which model we have designated to be best in test.
Pod machines are available in a wide range of designs and can be more or less advanced. They are also available in different sizes and price ranges, and you can find capsule machines for under 50 GBP but may also have to pay several hundreds for the most expensive models. When deciding which one to buy, it's important to think about how you'll use it - such as how often - and what your budget is.
