Criteria for choosing a good coffee machine for use at home


In October 2021, the best in terms of price/quality is Delonghi ECAM 350.55

All coffee machines in this rating brew exemplary black coffee and whip milk foam perfectly. All of these “TOP 10 coffee machines” have a full set of basic settings: adjusting grind, strength, temperature, setting and saving favorite volumes for various drinks. As a rule, the differences are hidden in the design, the number of preset drinks and the ability to quickly prepare them with one click or through the menu in a couple of steps, the presence of some additional functions, such as heating cups, their illumination, adjusting the height of milk foam, etc.

Let me clarify right away that here I am taking real prices at which, in principle, you can find these cars on sale, and not those recommended by the manufacturers. Do you want it cheaper? For you, a rating of the cheapest milk machines up to 40 tr.

In this material, I will briefly discuss the characteristic features of typical middle-class coffee machines from all popular brands. By tradition, we’ll start with the most common in Russia – Delonghi coffee machines. The name of each car in the text is a link to its detailed review. Position in the ranking is not a sorting from best to worst, it is simply a serial number .

Cheapest capsule

First place in this category is shared by two coffee machines:

  1. Krups KP1A01/KP1A05/KP1A08/KP1A3B10 Dolce Gusto Piccolo XS
  2. Bosch TAS 1401/1402/1403/1404/1407 Tassimo

I like both of them. They both have good reviews. Which one should you choose? On average, Dolce Gusto capsules are cheaper than Tassimo, so if price is of paramount importance for you, choose Krups. But, in general, I would advise you to first taste both of them and choose what you like most.

Drip coffee makers for home

Such models have a water container, a tempered glass jug and a heating element. Using a drip coffee maker is easy: fill with water, pour ground coffee into the compartment, and plug in the device. After heating, the drink will pour drop by drop into the jug.

There are advanced models, they are more often called coffee machines. They can grind coffee beans and are equipped with additional functions such as adjusting the grind or strength of the drink and delayed start.

Drip coffee maker Galaxy GL0701

A model for lovers of the good old Americano. The volume of the jug is 0.75 liters, which is enough for six cups.

The most inexpensive coffee machine with cappuccino maker

The first place in this category is confidently taken by De'Longhi EN 85 AE Essenza Mini. This is a very good capsule coffee machine that runs on Nespresso capsules. It has good reviews and a large list of useful features. It is equipped with a separate manual cappuccino maker.

If you don’t have time to bother with preparing milk foam in the morning, I advise you to look at a model with an automatic cappuccino maker - De'Longhi EN 500. It is more convenient to use, but at the same time significantly more expensive.

Carob coffee makers for home
