Buying a coffee machine - which coffee machine is really right for you?
The encouraging cup of coffee in the morning, the comforter on busy afternoons – for us, coffee is more than just a hot drink. It's a sophisticated science, a playful art, but most of all it's teamwork. There has to be a fit between you and your coffee machine. But which coffee machine is really right for you?
So you want to buy the perfect coffee machine but don't know where to start? Don't worry, we'll help you make the right decision. First of all, you should think about what demands you have on your future coffee machine.
There are three important factors that you should consider: your favorite method of preparation, your budget and the size of the machine.
Buy the coffee machine for your favorite type of preparation
The coffee machine includes all electrical machines that you can use to prepare filter coffee and espresso drinks. Of course, your new coffee machine should prepare exactly the way you like it.
We divide this into the wonderful portafilter machines, filter coffee machines and capsule machines.
Your budget
How much money do you want to spend? A good coffee machine can cost between €100 and €5,000. If you are a beginner, you should look at the lower price range. There are already good models for well under €1000. But if you can spend a little more money, you can also buy a portafilter machine for over €2000. These often offer unbeatable quality and many great functions. However, they also require a lot of affection and time.
The size
How much space do you have in your kitchenette? Portafilter machines can be very large, especially when equipped with one or even two boilers. Filter coffee machines and capsule machines take up far less space. However, there are also portafilter models that are more space-saving. These are often more compact and lighter, but may offer less temperature stability.
Buy the portafilter - the ultimate among espresso machines
Do you love the short shot, which is typically topped with a hazelnut-colored cream? Whether espresso doppio or cappuccino - the portafilter machine conjures up all the espresso drinks of your dreams. However, it is also a real purchase that you have to be clear about. You have to put a little time and energy into them. The accessories, such as the grinder, tamper, etc., should also be of good quality so that you can have fun with espresso.
You will be rewarded with really good coffee that you will definitely never want to be without again.
There is no best portafilter here. Sure, you can quickly spend several thousand euros here. However, that doesn't necessarily mean you'll have more fun. And also not that your espresso tastes great. So you should concentrate on buying the “best” portafilter machine for YOU.
As already discussed, this depends on your needs. Would you like to buy a portafilter machine to get started in the world of espressos? Then take a look at cheaper models. If they don't meet your expectations, work your way up slowly. Get enough information! Maybe ask a friend who already has a portafilter and take a look at our article about the portafilter machine!
Buy a La Marzocco portafilter
A portafilter machine that is justifiably world-famous is that of the manufacturer La Marzocco. You can of course buy the La Marzocco portafilters, which impress us 100%, online in our webshop.
If you decide to buy a la Marzocco, you still have to consider which model is right for you. Here is a brief overview.
The Linea Mini is descended from the highly praised La Marzocco Classic. It has a modern two-boiler system. With this you can make espresso and froth milk at the same time. If you like milk in your coffee, your portafilter should produce good milk foam. Cheaper models often only have a single circuit or a thermoblock, which can mean that you have to switch between espresso and milk foam. Dual-circuit machines and dual boilers are the better choice here, as they can froth milk directly and can therefore also prepare milk while making espresso.
Do you like unusual design? Then the Lina Mini is something for you. In addition to classic colors such as black or silver, they are also available in unusual versions. Maybe it could be sky blue?
The La Marzocco Linea Micra is completely new to the group. A lot of things stay the same here. You get what you are promised: a temperature-stable dual boiler, the timeless Marzocco design and the typical La Marzocco quality. What makes the Micra special? Your small space requirement!
As we have already established, the size of your new coffee machine is definitely a selling point. If you have a little less space here, this portafilter is just right for you!

Buy the capsule machine - the all-round, worry-free package
At the push of a button, the finished drink ends up in your cup. Put the capsule in, press the button, done.
The miracle capsule became really popular with George Clooney at the latest. But the hype surrounding the capsule machine also has very pragmatic reasons.
The biggest advantage of the capsule machine is obvious. It prepares very different types of coffee for you super quickly and easily. You take the right capsule and you get the coffee you want. Whether espresso, latte with or without vanilla flavor.
Do you have people in your household who can't tolerate caffeine? A wrapping machine makes sense here too.
In addition, almost nothing can go wrong during operation. Guests are also served super quickly or even make their own coffee.
Does that sound like you? Then you should buy a capsule machine as your next choice.
The specialty capsule machine from Morning
How about the black designer product from Morning. The Specialty capsule machine has all the features that make your coffee heart beat faster. The capsule machine can even be used to set parameters such as brewing temperature, pressure or coffee quantity. This is how the fully automatic coffee machine does justice to Specialty Coffee! All settings can be controlled and saved via an app as soon as you really like the coffee.
The machine has 10 pre-saved recipes that you can expand with your own recipes. The integrated scale ensures full control. The Specialty capsule machine black is compatible with all Nespresso® capsules.
Buy the filter coffee machine - Old School Coffee Making
Do you like black coffee and don't need as many frills? Then the filter coffee machine is just right for you. No brewing method is more popular in German households. The filter coffee machine has an old-school charm that always reminds us a little of our grandmothers. But the filter coffee machine can do much more than many people think.
The filter coffee machine requires little manual work and provides you with good, reproducible results in larger quantities. Apart from the grinding degree of the ground coffee that you put in, nothing can actually go wrong here.
Filter - old-school, boring? Nope! The filter coffee machine is back at the latest with the stylish Moccamaster. The modern specialty coffee scene also appreciates the traditional brewing method. It's not for nothing that there are countless roasts specifically designed for the filter.
