We’re a nation of coffee lovers, and there’s nothing nicer than being able to brew the perfect cup at home. If you can’t start the day without a strong espresso, or prefer to pop in a capsule for an evening latté, there are plenty of machines available which will cater to your every coffee need. From quick and easy filter coffee gadgets that enable you to take a coffee on the go, to clever machines which can handle the whole process from bean to cup, take a look at our guide to help you find the best one for you. Who knows, you may even be able to resist some of those expensive coffee shop visits.
POD AND CAPSULE
Machines that take pods or capsules are easy to use as the coffee is already blended, roasted ground and then sealed inside. Once you put the pod into the machine, water is heated and then forced through the coffee, releasing the flavour. There are no messy filters to clean, making it a fuss-free and convenient option. Different brands offer a wide range of pods and capsules, so you can choose from hundreds of different types of coffee, as well as other drinks such as hot chocolate.
