Brewing capacity

Consider how many cups of coffee you typically need to brew at once. Some coffee machines are designed for brewing 1–2 cups of coffee, while others can make larger quantities.

Pod coffee and semi-automatic espresso machines are suitable for brewing only a few cups of coffee at a time. In contrast, a filter coffee machine is the best choice if you have to serve coffee to many people.

3

Coffee grinder

If you prefer freshly ground coffee, look for a coffee machine with a built-in grinder, or buy one you can buy separately.

Fully automatic coffee machines always have a built-in grinder.

Semi-automatic espresso machines are available with and without a built-in grinder.

Filter coffee machines are available with- and without the grinder. Most models are built without a grinder.

4

Milk frother

If you enjoy milk-based coffee drinks, like lattes and cappuccinos, consider a coffee machine with a built-in milk frother. Alternatively, you can buy a milk frother separately.

Both fully automatic coffee machines, semi-automatic espresso machines, and pod coffee machines are available with built-in milk frothers.

5

Budget

Coffee machines are available at a wide range of prices. Some coffee machines are much more expensive, and others have higher operating costs.

The most budget-friendly choice regarding purchase price and operating cost is filter coffee machines.

Pod coffee machines typically have a low purchase price but are generally the most expensive choice in terms of price per cup of coffee.

Fully automatic coffee and semi-automatic espresso machines are equally expensive as they typically use whole beans. However, fully automatic coffee machines are more costly in purchase price.

The following chart shows the distribution in the price of coffee machines:
