Read moreDon’t hate me for saying this, but I’m hunting for the best pod coffee maker. Coffee is a weirdly divisive topic. People are particular about nearly every aspect, whether it’s grounds, ground sizes, delivery method, sugar and cream and syrups … the list goes on and on. That divide grows even further when it comes to pod coffee makers. I’m no stranger to coffee snobbery, and I love a good pour-over or French press, a fancy burr grinder, and a silky-smooth cold foam … but sometimes I just want my coffee fast. And there’s no shame in it! Below, you’ll find the best pod coffee machines I’ve tried, including my top pick—the Bruvi BV-01 (8/10, WIRED Recommends).
