What Makes the Podio X1 Special?
Barista-Quality Results from Patented Technology
The secret to the Podio X1’s exceptional taste lies in its innovative capsule design. Each Costa Coffee capsule features a unique double filtration method that ensures every cup meets barista standards. Combined with advanced pre-infusion technology, the machine creates drinks with clearer taste profiles and richer aromas that rival your favorite coffee shop.
Compact Yet Powerful Design
Don’t let its compact footprint fool you. Measuring just 210mm wide, 326mm high, and 400mm deep, the Podio X1 fits comfortably on any countertop while delivering up to 25 cups per day. At only 5kg, it’s easy to position exactly where you need it, whether that’s in reception, meeting rooms, or office kitchens.
Versatile Drink Selection
The Podio X1 offers an impressive range of drinks to suit every preference. From classic espresso and Americano to Café Crema, Lungo, and filter coffee, plus indulgent hot chocolate for non-coffee drinkers. With three drink sizes available (4oz, 8oz, and 12oz), everyone can customize their perfect cup.
Plug-and-Play Simplicity
Forget complicated installation processes. The Podio X1 operates on standard 230v power and uses a simple water tank system—no plumbing required. You can start serving delicious coffee and non-coffee drinks in as little as 30 minutes, with minimal training needed. The intuitive interface means anyone can operate it with confidence.
Smart Connectivity for Peace of Mind
The Podio X1 features intelligent connectivity that predicts maintenance needs before they become issues, minimizing downtime and ensuring your machine is always ready when your team needs their coffee fix. This proactive approach means less hassle and more consistent performance.
