Hello coffee lovers, Im brewing my coffee in moka pot for 10 years already. Im dreaming coffee machine with bean grinder after I tried delonghi magnifica, but didnt have room for one. Soon Im moving to a new place where I will have more space so Im finally buying coffee machine.
Me and my lady drink espresso multiple times a day and we dont need best cappucchino maker, but doesnt hurt to have for friends.
I never owned one so I was looking at models simmilar to one I tried:
- 22.112.B
- 22.115.B
- 21.117.B
- 21.110.B
They are all about the same price and description. Are they any different?
Also, is there anything else you would recommend instead?
Thx
Take a look a the Decent Espresso V1 from Seattle or splurge for a La Marzocco
Consider a compromise between traditional espresso machines and button to cup ones, in the form of Breville Oracle. It’s only a bit more effort than just a button, but what you get is better coffee than similarly priced automated machines, the opportunity to use it as a traditional machine if you wanna, and the ease of cleaning.
Thank you, but I’m bit confused tbh. When I google Breville Oracle I only see 2k $ or more
They might be talking about the Breville Bambino, which I think is the smallest of the Breville machines and is more like $300. I can’t speak for that one specifically, but I have a Breville Barista Express and I absolutely love it. Having the grinder built in makes it so easy to use.
Thank you. I just found its called Sage in Europe. Barista Express looks powerful. More expensive, but Ill take a look. Bambino is ~350€, but then Id need a grinder as well. Might be better, but I think I’ll stick with automatic machine this time. Will see myself Philips, Delonghi and hopefully Breville as well on Wednesday in store.
I’d like to replay to each of you but, but don’t want to type 5 messages :D
Thank you all for input. I understand that I have to sacrifice some quality, but automatic machine would be an upgrade and best coffee experience will still be in my favorite coffee shop anyway. I think I want reliable machine for my daily fresh brew that can save tiny amount of time every morning for more chill before work. All models I linked look the same and they probably are, now I see you have positive experience with similar machines so I hope I can’t go wrong with any of them.
Its nice to read only good things about delonghi. Ill check Philips and Gaggia as well. I might consider semi-automatic + grinder when I move again hehe, it takes time to gain more room on kitchen tabletop hehe.
I’m super excited, thx a bunch <3
I’m not familiar with that particular model, but I’ve had a Phillips Saeco 2200 for nearly three years and I love the convenience of it. It’s easy to clean and the espressos it makes are pretty consistent.
Super automatic coffee machines are not going to be quiet as good. I own one, I made peace with that before I bought one. Making coffee with the push of a couple buttons is just worth it. I work from home and the time is saves in the morning, every morning is amazing. I bought a Phillips 4300 over 2 years ago and haven’t had a single issue with it. The latte go piece makes a decent enough zero effort latte, espresso is pretty decent. Easy to clean and maintain.
