I am looking for a good single serve coffee machine with the below criteria, any help appreciated.
Single serve, it is just for me to make a cup or two in the morning, or when I have the urge.
Must not be a bunch of work or time to make a cup. I know many are willing to jump through hoops for that perfect cup. That is not for me, if I have to faff about with a complex ritual for more than 2 minutes I will never use it. That means no grinding, boiling water, pots and pans to clean, etc. I am lazy.
Taste must be as good as possible for the machine type. For example if pod machine, I want the best tasting pod. I don't like weak coffee so the more robust the better.
Easy to clean. I don't want to feel like I am re-building an engine when I am cleaning the thing. The simpler and quicker with the least amount of tear down and less frequently the better. Again I am lazy.
Versatility a plus but not required, for example pod plus grounds capability in the same machine.
Robust build would be nice. The more stainless and/or glass the better. The less plastic parts that wear out/break fast the better.
I am thinking some kind of pod machine. I know they are frowned upon in many parts but I like the convenience and speed to use. If you have other options that meet my criteria please let me know.
I have been looking at the Nespresso Vertuo plus, or Nespresso ENV135GYAE (Breville, De'Longhi?), Keurig K-Elite Plus+, to give an idea of the type that I was thinking of.
Price is not an issue (within reason, I won't spend $5000 for one) I can adjust budget accordingly.
Thanks much.
