Is there a place where they have a guide about all the different single serving coffee machines?

I would say there are three hot items now on the market.

1. K-kup machines.
2. Nespresso
3. Verismo.

Any one can care to share some insights on them?

Do they all take different coffee pods?

Yes. K -CUPS are the most widely available. You can buy them everywhere.  That's one plus to the Keurigs.

I haven't tasted the Verisimo yet but the machine looks nice.  Right now it's available at only a few places.

I prefer the taste of the Nespresso but again haven't tasted the Starbucks machine yet. If its anything like their coffee though I probably would pass.

keurig also has another type called vue, not sure why it sconsidered better, but it has different pods than the reg one
also if u are looking for a cheaper espresso machine, u may want to look for something otber than an automatic one, try looking for a classic espresso machine, u can get a cheap one at walmart or ect

I originally had a 12 cup Gevallia drip machine & the Aeropress and eventually upgraded to a Keurig B40  and a Red DeLonghi Kmix 15 Bars Pump Espresso Maker.
I use the keurig 85% of the time as its quick and easy and use the espresso machine for occasions.

Thanks for all the replies.
Are there any good sites which evaluate all the one cup coffee machines?

Don't have Bloomys here.  Would love it if someone would post a clear pic of that.  Crazy that they wouldn't publish that online.
Save your time, I don't answer PM. Post it in the forum and a dedicated DDF'er will get back to you as soon as possible.

Update:

I received Nespresso U with the milk frothing pitcher on Wednesday and I have to say I'm very impressed. If anyone is interested in a review or has any questions I'll be happy to answer them.

The price went up $95 to $229 since Sunday but you can still get the Essenza for $149 on Amazon.

I have the Keurig Rivo, quite happy with it. Only problem is that they are only compatible with r-cups which are available in exactly 4 versions
