Sage Bambino Plus coffee machine

01

MANUAL ESPRESSO

Sage Bambino Plus

The Bambino Plus combines hands-on espresso preparation with an automatic steam wand. You prepare the coffee in its portafilter, while adjustable milk temperature and texture settings help with cappuccinos and lattes. It could suit someone who wants to learn espresso without manually steaming every milk drink. Allow space and budget for a separate grinder if you plan to use whole beans.

FEATURE FOCUS Automatic milk texturing with adjustable temperature and texture.

02

ESPRESSO WITH INTEGRATED GRINDER

Sage Barista Express

The Barista Express brings grinding and espresso preparation together in one machine. Its integrated conical burr grinder lets you adjust the grind, while the manual steam wand gives you control over milk texturing. It is an option for people who enjoy the process of making coffee and want to develop their technique. Expect to spend time adjusting the grind, dose and preparation for different beans.

FEATURE FOCUS Integrated burr grinder and hands-on milk steaming.

Sage Barista Express Impress coffee machine

03

ASSISTED ESPRESSO PREPARATION

Sage Barista Express Impress

The Impress version adds assisted tamping and intelligent dosing to the integrated-grinder espresso format. Its dosing system adjusts using the previous tamping result, helping guide coffee preparation while leaving you involved in the process. Milk steaming remains manual. It could appeal if you want a portafilter machine with some assistance at the preparation stage, rather than a fully automatic drink-making system.

FEATURE FOCUS Assisted tamping and intelligent dosing with an integrated grinder.

De'Longhi Dedica Style coffee machine

04

SLIM MANUAL ESPRESSO

De’Longhi Dedica Style EC685

The Dedica Style is a manual espresso machine with a slim 15cm-wide body. Its Adjustable Cappuccino System lets you steam milk or create foam for milk drinks. The narrow footprint makes it worth considering where worktop space is limited, although you should still check its depth and room for filling and cleaning. Coffee preparation and milk frothing require your involvement, and there is no integrated bean grinder.

FEATURE FOCUS Slim 15cm body with an adjustable manual milk-frothing system.

MyLatte uses the milk you put into the carafe for your drink. It could suit a household wanting freshly ground coffee without preparing a portafilter each time. Check the exact model code when shopping, because Magnifica Evo versions have different milk systems and drink menus.

FEATURE FOCUS One-touch drink selection and a milk carafe with MyLatte preparation.

It is an option to explore if you want a broad menu without grinding, dosing and steaming by hand. Check the available recipes and cleaning instructions, and remember that iced recipes are not the same as cold-brew extraction.

Nespresso Vertuo Pop Plus coffee machine

08

VERTUO CAPSULE COFFEE

Nespresso Vertuo Pop+

The Vertuo Pop+ uses Nespresso Vertuo capsules for button-operated coffee preparation across different cup sizes. It could suit someone who values a simple routine and does not want to handle loose grounds or adjust a grinder. Check the capsule selection for the drinks you prefer and include the ongoing cost of pods. Milk drinks need separate milk preparation unless you choose a bundle with a frother.

FEATURE FOCUS Button-operated brewing with the dedicated Vertuo capsule system.

Nespresso Creatista Plus coffee machine

09

ORIGINAL CAPSULES & MILK TEXTURING

Nespresso Creatista Plus

The Creatista Plus combines Nespresso Original capsule coffee with an integrated milk-texturing system. It lets you prepare espresso-based milk drinks without an integrated bean grinder or a separate milk frother. You still pour the prepared milk into your coffee, making it an option for people who enjoy that finishing step. Check Original capsule compatibility carefully: this machine uses a different capsule system from Vertuo.

FEATURE FOCUS Original capsule brewing combined with integrated milk texturing.

Melitta AromaFresh filter coffee machine

10

FILTER COFFEE WITH A GRINDER

Melitta AromaFresh

AromaFresh combines filter coffee preparation with an integrated grinder and a programmable timer. It is a different approach from an espresso machine, making it worth exploring if you prefer a jug of coffee for breakfast or several cups across a household. Check the exact AromaFresh version for jug type, capacity and controls, as the range includes several models. It does not replace a milk-steaming espresso system.

FEATURE FOCUS Filter coffee preparation with an integrated grinder and timer.

BEFORE YOU CHOOSE

What matters?

Start with the drinks you enjoy and how much preparation you want to do. Then check the details of the exact machine you are considering.

YOUR COFFEE STYLE

Choose the brewing approach

Think about whether you want espresso, milk drinks, capsule coffee or a jug of filter coffee. Choose a machine around the drinks you make most often, rather than the longest menu.

YOUR DAILY ROUTINE

Decide how hands-on to be

Manual espresso involves preparing the coffee and learning a technique. Automatic and capsule machines offer different levels of convenience. Consider the time you want to spend making each drink.

SPACE & UPKEEP

Look beyond the footprint

Allow space to refill water, add beans and remove trays. Check the cleaning routine, especially for milk systems, and whether a separate grinder or frother needs its own place on the worktop.

THE FULL COST

Include the next hundred cups

Add the cost of beans or compatible capsules, cleaning products, filters and accessories. Compare ongoing costs using your usual number of drinks, as well as the machine’s purchase price.
