For many, coffee is an indispensable part of everyday life – both as a morning routine, a social meeting point and an energy boost during the workday. The range of coffee machines today is enormous, spanning from simple filter machines to advanced fully automatic espresso machines. Therefore, it can be a challenge to find the model that best suits your needs, budget and kitchen.

In this article, you’ll get an overview of the most important considerations to make before investing in a new 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 classic filter machines to modern capsule and espresso solutions. The aim is to provide an informative overview of features, design and price levels so that you can more easily find a model that matches your preferences. The information about the products is based on publicly available descriptions from manufacturers and retailers and is summarised to provide a clear and neutral overview.

Factors to consider when buying a coffee machine

When choosing a coffee machine, it’s important to consider functionality, taste, maintenance and design. Here are some of the most important factors you should take into account.

1. Brewing method and taste

Different machines brew coffee in different ways, which affects the flavour. Filter machines produce a mild and smooth coffee, while espresso machines deliver an intense and aromatic cup. Think about what type of coffee you prefer and choose your machine accordingly.

2. Ease of use

Some machines require just the press of a button, while others allow you to adjust temperature, pressure and grind size. If you want a quick cup without hassle, a capsule machine is ideal. If you’re more passionate about the brewing process, a manual or semi-automatic machine might be the right choice.

3. Maintenance and cleaning

Coffee machines require regular cleaning to ensure good taste and long lifespan. Consider how easy it is to descale, clean the brewing unit and empty the drip tray. Some machines have automatic cleaning programmes that make maintenance easier.

4. Capacity and size

How many cups do you brew daily? A large machine with a water tank and bean container is suitable for offices or large households, while a compact model is ideal for smaller kitchens or individuals.

5. Price and features

The price depends on technology and features. Simple filter machines are often inexpensive and reliable, while advanced espresso machines with grinders and milk frothers are in the higher price range. Think about which features you really need so you get the best value for your money.

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

Melitta EPOS Black/Chrome is 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 sensor control automatically adjusts the brewing profile depending on the amount of coffee, so the result is optimal 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 hot for up to 40 minutes, after which it switches off automatically. 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 is time for descaling.

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 a modern look that fits into many kitchen environments.

Different types of coffee machines

Coffee machines come in many varieties that differ in brewing method, design and functionality. Here’s an overview of some of the most common types.

1. Filter coffee machines

The classic filter machine is simple, reliable and ideal for those who want to brew several cups at once. It only requires ground coffee and a filter, and many models have a timer function and warming plate.

2. Capsule machines

Capsule machines are popular for their convenience and speed. They use pre-measured capsules, ensuring a consistent taste every time. The downside is that capsules can be more expensive per cup and the selection depends on the manufacturer.

3. Espresso machines

Espresso machines allow you to brew café-style coffee – with intense aroma and creamy foam. They come in manual, semi-automatic and fully automatic models. The fully automatic ones grind the beans and brew the coffee at the press of a button.

4. Capsule and bean-based hybrid machines

Some newer models combine the flexibility of capsule machines with the freedom of freshly ground beans. They allow you to choose between quick capsule coffee or fresh espresso depending on time and mood.

5. French presses and pour-over solutions

Although not electric machines, French presses and pour-over methods are still popular among coffee enthusiasts. They provide full control over the brewing process and highlight the coffee’s natural aromas.

Different coffee machine brands

The coffee machine market includes many well-known manufacturers, each with their own focus areas and strengths.

De'Longhi

De'Longhi is known for its elegant and user-friendly espresso machines. The brand offers both fully automatic and manual models, often with built-in grinders and milk frothers.

Nespresso

Nespresso has made capsule coffee popular with its wide range of flavours and stylish machines. The system is easy to use and requires minimal cleaning, making it attractive for busy coffee lovers.

Philips

Philips manufactures both filter and fully automatic coffee machines with a focus on quality and user-friendliness. Many models have intuitive control panels and automatic cleaning programmes.

Siemens

Siemens offers advanced machines with modern technology and smart home integration. Their machines are often equipped with precise temperature control and the ability to personalise brewing profiles.

Moccamaster

Moccamaster is an icon in filter coffee, known for its hand-built quality and precise brewing temperature. The machines have a classic design and deliver coffee with a clean and balanced taste.

Frequently asked questions

How often should a coffee machine be descaled?

It depends on the hardness of your water and how often you use the machine. As a rule of thumb, you should descale every 1–3 months to ensure optimal taste and extend the machine’s lifespan.

Which type of coffee suits my machine best?

Filter machines require ground coffee, while espresso machines use whole beans or espresso-ground coffee. Capsule machines use the manufacturer’s own capsules, so check compatibility before buying.

Can I use regular tap water?

Yes, but if you live in an area with hard water, it may be beneficial to use filtered water to avoid limescale build-up and improve the taste.

How long does a coffee machine last?

The lifespan depends on quality and maintenance. A good machine can last 5–10 years if cleaned and descaled regularly.

What does the pressure in an espresso machine mean?

The pressure, measured in bar, indicates how forcefully the water is pushed through the coffee. A pressure of around 9 bar is considered ideal for achieving a rich espresso with good crema.
