Coffee machines

The type of machine decides almost everything. A bean-to-cup model grinds for every cup and is cheaper to run, a pod machine is simpler but costs more per coffee, and a filter machine serves a whole table at once. Descaling and cleaning the milk system come next. The advertised pump pressure and the number of recipes matter less than people think.

Read the full method
Tank capacity
This criterion measures how much water the tank holds before needing a refill. The longer the bar, the more coffees the machine can make without refilling.
Heating power
This criterion measures the electrical power of the machine. The longer the bar, the faster the water heats and the quicker the coffee is ready.
Price positioning
This criterion compares the price of the coffee machine to other models on the market. The longer the bar, the better the price.
Number of cups brewed at once
This criterion measures how many cups the machine can brew in one go. The longer the bar, the easier it is to serve several people without starting another brew.
Extraction pressure
Measures the maximum pressure the machine can apply to extract the coffee ; the bar grows with the pressure.
