It is a carafe constructed of high-temperature borosilicate glass that is encased in a stainless-steel frame that has an exquisitely-crafted plunger. The brewer is completely taste neutral and allows the inherent flavors of your coffee to be fully expressed, which is why it's one of the preferred methods employed by professional coffee tasters to determine the quality of their coffee.

4. Nespresso Vertuo Plus

The Vertuo range of Nespresso machines is designed to brew rich full-bodied espresso as well as long coffee with the click of a button. The machine utilizes Centrifusion technology to detect and adjust extraction for each capsule to ensure optimal taste.

The machine is small and sleek, taking up just a little counter space. It's also very easy to use: simply insert a pod into the machine, choose your desired drink, and the machine does the rest. Contrary to ATUIO Keurig K-Mini: Single Serve Coffee Maker machines, Vertuo Plus doesn't have an integrated milk frother, which means you'll need to add milk or cream to your drinks.

The Vertuo Plus only works with Nespresso capsules. The capsules come with a barcode that the machine reads at beginning of making coffee, which allows it to adjust its blending process for each blend. This is a great advantage over other single-serve machines, but it limits your choices for pods. It also costs more per cup than with a Keurig machine that is similar in price.

It's also designed to store an additional 10 pods that have been used, a nice improvement over previous models. The new water tank is also adjustable to maximize kitchen layouts.

5. Bruvi

Bruvi was launched in 2022, and it came with three promises: It would make better single-serve coffee over the existing pod-based machines, it would provide a greater variety of drinks and would make use of polypropylene cups that were treated to be discarded with less environmental impact than traditional K-Cups. It succeeded at all three of those points, making it an ideal choice for anyone who wants to improve their single-serve brew game.

Designed to look more like a premium kitchen appliance than the typical pod-based machine, Bruvi features a large, black touchscreen that displays monochromatic icons in bright white. The machine is quiet and quick, brewing in under three minutes. In contrast to other pod-based devices the hot water reservoir and drip tray are separate from the brew chamber in order to minimize cross-contamination of flavors. The drip tray is able to be elevated to a higher position to reduce the likelihood of spilling and splashing, and also to accommodate larger travel mugs.

The Bruvi brewing device is unique in that every pod is identified optically by the machine. A set of options that can be programmed are automatically adjusted to complement the unique characteristics of the coffee. This gives you a more customizable experience than you get from other pod-based systems and it ensures that every cup of coffee tastes exactly as the roaster intended it.

Furthermore, Bruvi consumes only the amount of water required to extract the coffee. This helps save energy and eliminates the requirement for a large quantity of water to be heated to produce a small amount of coffee. As a result, the machine consumes significantly less energy than the average Keurig or Nespresso model.
