Is Starbucks getting in the way of saving money?
There are thousands of coffee machines on the market, all of that do similar things, but if you’re not a natural barrister and who needs to be with a Starbucks on every corner, it might be overwhelming to try and find a coffee machine that meets your needs and expectations.
What should you be looking for?
The De’Longhi brand has multiple models of coffee machines all of which you can find on Amazon or other online retailers, as well as in stores like Target.
Which one is for you?
The Advanced cappuccino, Bar pump espresso, Espresso maker, and Advanced cappuccino system are all on the market for similar prices and can also be bought as refurbished models or used models to keep the cost down.
The Advanced Cappuccino model is sold out on Amazon but very much available on other online and offline stores so don’t that fool you into thinking it’s the best one to buy or that it’s the latest trend, because all of the above models have the following features which most coffee lovers, will love!
Adjustable controls mean you control your personal preference in taste.
Manual milk frothier, something every coffee machine needs. To get that perfect Latte or Cappuccino the milk is one of the most important parts of the process. Some people opt for a separate milk frothier for their coffee machine as it can give a better result but looking at these models, I think it’s safe to not bother.
With any of the above models, you can choose whether you enjoy one shot of espresso, two shots of espresso or if you use an espresso pod of your choice. And in this range, you can have several different flavors; Flat White, Americano, Chocochino, Americano Bold, Latte Macchiato, and Cappuccino.
Pods are easy to use and get rid of the need to use the adjustable controls – the perfect flavor is within the pods already.
There is no need to worry about re-applying the settings to make another cup of coffee, as the technology in this brand means that the water stays at the optimal temperature, meaning you can make a few cups of coffee in one go, without the need to re-heat the water and start again. The days of boiling a kettle are well and truly over.
When we see pictures of coffee machines, we are always faced with the tiny little espresso mugs, which look cute, but leave the mind wondering, is that big enough?
Well with the above brands the only model which doesn’t accommodate the taller cup is the Espresso Maker, perhaps this model is on the way out now, as you may not be able to fit those fancy Latte cups underneath.
The water tank system on all of the above models is easy to use, easy to clean, have an indicator of the measurement of water, and is dishwasher safe.
All parts of these machines are dishwasher safe and there is a convenient drip tray to catch all those last little drips in between coffees made.
The only real difference between these models is the color schemes and size.
The Advanced Cappuccino product can be bought in white and red and is not as slim line as the other products.
The Bar Pump Espresso machine is black and slimline to fit in any little space you have in the kitchen.
The Espresso Maker is silver, sleek, and slimline.
And lastly, the Advanced Cappuccino system can be bought in either Black or Stainless steel.
So, after the comparison, there is only one model which stands out as slightly less superior, however still a product that many customers have enjoyed and would buy again.
