01
Start with your everyday life
Three questions to help set your priorities.
Where will it go?
Measure the space, including room to open reservoirs and remove trays. Check the clearance available for your cups.
What upkeep suits you?
Read the rinsing, cleaning and descaling instructions. Check the consumables required and how easily you can reach the parts that need care.
02
Product features, explained
Read with your needs in mind: no single criterion determines the best product.
Water tank
Tank capacity affects how often you need to refill. Compare it with your usual consumption and the space available around the machine.
Bean hopper
A larger hopper needs fewer refills; a smaller one can be useful if you change coffee beans often.
Cold drinks
Check whether cold recipes are actually prepared by the machine or require separate steps or accessories.
Connectivity
App or Wi-Fi features can simplify settings and profiles. Also check which functions remain available without a connection.
03
Before you decide
- Write down your usual drinks and the number of coffees you normally prepare.
- Measure the space and access to reservoirs.
- Read the care instructions and check the consumables needed.
