Since their appearance in the 90s, coffee makers have gained a lot of hearts. At home and in the office, they have become indispensable because of their practicality. However, between the capsule coffee maker and the pod coffee maker, the choice can be quite difficult. Here’s everything you need to know to choose the right coffee maker.
The Capsule Coffee Maker
Keurig K-Mini Coffee Maker
Keurig K-Elite Coffee Maker
Sboly Single Serve Coffee Maker
SS-10P1 Premium Single-Serve
Thanks to its studied and refined design, the capsule coffee maker goes very well with most kitchens. This little wonder allows you to quickly obtain a perfectly dosed coffee that is sure to suit you.
In addition, there is a wide range of capsule flavors that will not leave you indifferent. From traditional espresso to crema gusto dolce, including ristretto, you will discover new sensations that will delight your taste buds.
Finally, the capsule allows optimal preservation of the full flavors of your coffee. The most famous brand is of course Nespresso. It was she who democratized coffee capsules.
The inconvenients
Apart from the high cost of the capsules, they are not compatible with all machines. In addition, the capsules used for this type of coffee maker are either aluminum or plastic. They are therefore non-recyclable and non-ecological, but that does not detract from their taste. So you will need to buy a Nespresso machine to use these capsules.
The Pod Coffee Maker
Mixpresso Espresso Machine
Single Serve Coffee Maker
Portable Small Coffee Maker
K Cup Coffee Maker
The pod coffee maker is distinguished from other coffee maker models by the strong coffee embellished with the delicate creamy foam that it offers. It offers a large list of hot drinks ( tea, latte, or even cappuccino ), enough to give free rein to your desires. In addition, the pods are compostable and less expensive than the capsules. They benefit from a very neat design.
The inconvenients
Pod coffee makers cannot really prepare espressos because of their low pressure (less than 15 bars). In addition, pods are more expensive than ground coffee or coffee beans.
Pod and Capsule Coffee Machine Models
On the market, you will find several models of each type of coffee maker. Here are two models that are among the best selling.
Krups Nespresso XN 3005
Very popular and practical, this capsule coffee machine is equipped with a high-pressure pump. Made of plastic, it has a capacity of 0.7 l and is equipped with a motor with a power of 1260 W.
It is shaped in a very clean design, in addition to being quiet, splash-free, and space-saving. You will quickly get hot, flavorful coffee. It has the advantage of having a mini format and will therefore not take up space in the kitchen. The downside is that you will have to empty the capsule container regularly.
