1. Understanding your needs: the key to making the right choice
Daily or occasional use?
If coffee is your daily morning fuel, a fully automatic machine with an integrated grinder is especially practical. For occasional use, a capsule machine or a simple espresso maker is usually sufficient.
Preferred types of drinks
Espresso, lungo, cappuccino, latte macchiato… Some machines offer a wide variety at the touch of a button, while others are limited to basic espresso. Think about your usual coffee habits to choose the right model.
Space & ease of use
How much space do you have on your countertop? A compact machine is ideal for small kitchens. Also consider water access, ease of cleaning, and user interface (buttons, display, dial, etc.).
Budget & value for money
High-end automatic machines can cost up to €1,000 — but on Letzshop, you’ll also find more affordable options starting from just a few hundred euros.
2. Technologies you should know
Fully automatic machines with built-in grinders
They grind fresh beans for every cup — ensuring optimal aroma and making daily coffee preparation especially convenient and quick for home use.
Capsule or pod machines
Ideal for those who value simplicity, speed, and cleanliness. The choice then depends on the specific capsule system being used.
Manual or semi-automatic espresso machines
These are more technically demanding but allow for a more handcrafted and personalized coffee preparation — provided you know how to adjust the dose, pressure, and milk frothing settings.
3. Key selection criteria
- Heating speed — A crucial factor for busy mornings.
- Ease of cleaning — Models with automatic cleaning and descaling programs offer real convenience.
- Extraction quality — Optimal pressure (often 15 bar) ensures rich aroma and perfect milk foam.
