Some manufacturers recommend water filters which may add to the expense. Depending on the water hardness in your area, descaling will also be important.Although they're 'automatic', parts will still require regular cleaning and maintenance, particularly the milk container and associated pipes, the drip tray, coffee grounds container and water tank.

The depth of the machine can exceed 40cm, so you need to be able to spare the bench space.

They can be quite heavy, weighing from 8–12kg.

Often more expensive than other types of machines, and their higher price isn't a guarantee they'll make good coffee.

Some have 'self-cleaning' modes, which minimise the hassle of washing and descaling the machine, but ongoing maintenance is still essential.

You can usually save several 'programs' or user profiles with your favourite styles of coffee.

They use freshly ground beans rather than a capsule and you can control the grind to your requirements.

Easier to use than the semi-automatic and manual coffee machines.

How much do automatic coffee machines cost?Īutomatic coffee machines can often be quite an investment: we've tested machines that start at $379, while others tip over $4100. Some also automatically froth milk for a cappuccino or latte. Your cup goes under the spout, you press the button to grind the coffee beans to make the espresso, then you make your desired beverage depending on the strength and volume you want.

They do cost more to use in the long run than freshly-ground coffee, but are still cheaper than going to a cafe for your morning brew.

Aluminium-based capsules can be recycled via various schemes, but usually end up in landfill, which is very wasteful of the aluminium and other energy and material that goes into making them.

Enthusiasts may find coffees from these machines lack depth or intensity of flavour.

They usually have a small benchtop footprint (one Aldi Expressi machine is 27 x 13 x 35cm for example, while a Nescafe Dolce Gusto Piccolini is only 29 x 16 x 23cm).

But our coffee machine tests over the years have found that you don't have to pay top dollar to get a good coffee at home.

Prices tend to range from $79 to over $600, plus the cost of pods. How to use a pod machineĪ pod or capsule of coffee is inserted into the machine, which then pierces the capsule to allow hot water to flow through and pour the shot. In our tests, the quality of these milk capsules is generally poor. Some don't need you to use one at all, and instead sell separate milk capsules. Some come with a built-in milk frother, while others require you to buy one separately. Nespresso capsules come in various styles depending on whether you're using an 'original' type of machine, or its newer Vertuo ones, which accommodate a range of cup sizes (and are only compatible with 'official' Nespresso capsules). Nespresso is the biggest-selling capsule machine type.

Some machines can cater for both pods and ground coffee by providing a separate filter basket and possibly a different shower head for each. These aren't hermetically sealed like the capsules. See home espresso coffee machines reviewĮasy Serving Espresso (ESE) pods are discs of coffee compressed between two layers of filter paper (not to be confused with the coffee capsule pods).
