For many, coffee is an essential part of the morning routine – a moment of calm, focus, and enjoyment before the day truly begins. But the right coffee machine isn’t just about taste; it should also suit your lifestyle, time, and preferences. Whether you prefer quick espresso, classic filter coffee, or freshly ground beans, there’s a machine that fits your daily routine.

This guide gives you an overview of the key considerations when choosing a coffee machine, as well as an introduction to the different types and brands on the market.

The article presents a wide selection of coffee machines – from simple filter models to advanced fully automatic ones. The goal is to provide an informative overview of features, characteristics, and price ranges, helping you find a machine that suits your needs. The product information is based on publicly available descriptions from manufacturers and retailers and has been summarised to provide a clear and neutral overview.

Factors to consider when buying a coffee machine

When choosing a coffee machine, it’s worth thinking about functionality, ease of use, and maintenance. Here are some of the most important factors to consider.

1. Brewing method and taste

Different machines brew coffee in different ways – and that affects the flavour. Filter machines produce mild and smooth coffee, while espresso machines offer an intense and aromatic experience. Consider what type of coffee you prefer in your daily life.

2. Ease of use and speed

If you have little time in the morning, a capsule or fully automatic machine can save time. If, on the other hand, you enjoy experimenting with the brewing process, a semi-automatic espresso machine gives you full control over the process.

3. Maintenance and cleaning

Some machines require more care than others. Capsule machines are often easy to clean, while machines with grinders and milk frothers need regular descaling and cleaning. Consider how much time you want to spend on maintenance.

4. Capacity and size

Do you live alone or make coffee for the whole family? The size of the machine and the capacity of the water tank determine how often you need to refill – and how much space the machine takes up on the worktop.

5. Price and features

The price varies depending on technology and equipment. A simple filter machine can be bought for a few hundred euros, while advanced fully automatic models can cost several thousand. Consider which features you really need to get the best value for money.

Intelligent brewing technology
Melitta EPOS Black/Chrome
The Melitta EPOS Black/Chrome is an electric pour-over coffee machine that combines the precision of manual brewing with modern technology. It features an integrated grinder, a rotating water outlet, and sensor-controlled brewing for optimal extraction.
Why it was chosen: The Melitta EPOS Black/Chrome was selected as an example of an advanced pour-over coffee machine that combines traditional brewing techniques with automatic control. It represents a segment of coffee machines that focus on flavour and user-friendliness.

The Melitta EPOS Black/Chrome was developed as an electric pour-over system that mimics the manual hand-brewing of filter coffee. The machine is equipped with a 360° rotating water outlet that distributes the water evenly over the coffee to ensure uniform extraction.

The integrated conical grinder can be adjusted, allowing the user to choose the grind size, enabling flavour customisation according to preference. The sensor control automatically adjusts the brewing profile to the amount of coffee, ensuring optimal results regardless of portion size.

The water tank is removable and has clear markings on both sides, making it easy to fill and use for both right- and left-handed users. Operation is via a touch panel, where you can activate pre-brewing, change the direction of the water outlet, or program a personal brewing profile in the so-called Barista Mode.

The machine has a warming plate that keeps the coffee warm for up to 40 minutes, after which it automatically switches off. It is ECBC-certified, indicating that it meets European standards for coffee brewing. The filter holder and glass jug are dishwasher safe, and an LED indicator shows when it’s time to descale.

The design is compact, with a width of only 17 cm, making it space-saving on the kitchen counter. The combination of black and chrome gives it a modern appearance that fits into many kitchen environments.

Different types of coffee machines

The coffee machine market is diverse, and your choice depends on how you prefer to prepare and enjoy your coffee.

1. Filter coffee machines

The classic solution for those who value simplicity and larger quantities of coffee. Filter machines are ideal for families or offices and require minimal effort – just coffee, water, and the press of a button.

2. Capsule machines

Capsule machines are quick, easy, and require little cleaning. They’re perfect for busy mornings and for those who want consistent quality without having to measure or grind beans. The downside is that capsules can be more expensive per cup and less sustainable.

3. Espresso machines

Espresso machines allow you to make café-quality coffee at home. They come in manual, semi-automatic, and fully automatic versions. The manual ones require some practice but reward you with full control over flavour and strength.

4. Fully automatic machines

These machines grind the beans, brew the coffee, and often froth the milk automatically. They’re ideal for coffee lovers who want fresh coffee without effort. The price is higher, but so is the convenience.

5. French press and pour-over

For those who appreciate the ritual of hand-brewed coffee, French press and pour-over methods are a great choice. They require a bit more time and precision but offer a rich and aromatic coffee experience.

Different brands of coffee machines

There are many coffee machine manufacturers, each with their own strengths and focus areas.

De’Longhi

De’Longhi is known for elegant and user-friendly machines – especially in the espresso and fully automatic segment. The brand combines Italian design with solid build quality.

Philips

Philips offers a wide range of coffee machines, from simple filter models to advanced fully automatic ones. The focus is on ease of use and reliable everyday performance.

Nespresso

Nespresso made capsule coffee popular with its wide range of flavours and stylish machines. The system is easy to use and requires minimal cleaning.

Siemens

Siemens produces technologically advanced machines with a focus on precision and convenience. Many models feature integrated grinders and intuitive controls that make it easy to adjust the brewing process.

Moccamaster

Moccamaster is an icon in the field of filter coffee. The machines are handmade in the Netherlands and are known for their durability, precise brewing temperature, and classic design.

Frequently asked questions

Which coffee machine suits me best?

That depends on your habits. If you drink many cups daily, a filter machine is practical. If you want quick coffee without effort, a capsule machine is ideal. For coffee enthusiasts, an espresso or fully automatic machine is the best choice.

How often should I descale my coffee machine?

That depends on water hardness and how often you use it. As a rule of thumb: descale every 1–3 months to ensure optimal flavour and extend the machine’s lifespan.

Can I use regular coffee beans in an espresso machine?

Yes, but you’ll get the best results with beans specifically roasted for espresso. These usually have a darker roast that emphasises the full and intense flavour notes.

What’s the difference between a semi-automatic and a fully automatic machine?

A semi-automatic machine requires you to grind and tamp the coffee yourself, while a fully automatic one handles the entire process – from grinding to brewing to milk frothing.

How should I store coffee?

Coffee should be stored in an airtight container, away from light, heat, and moisture. Whole beans last longer than ground coffee, so it’s best to grind them just before brewing for the best flavour.
