What the testers found
Tom's Guide rated it 4 out of 5: "for a machine that has one job, it does that job well." It brews the same Vertuo pods up to 12 oz (no 18 oz carafe) and has no milk frother. After each drink it "dripped for around 30 seconds," and tall glasses need the drip tray removed. Tom's Guide tested the UK version, which it says is "exactly the same machine as the Pop+ you can buy in the U.S." apart from a chunkier drip tray and a smaller water tank.
