Hello coffee lovers, Im brewing my coffee in moka pot for 10 years already. Im dreaming coffee machine with bean grinder after I tried delonghi magnifica, but didnt have room for one. Soon Im moving to a new place where I will have more space so Im finally buying coffee machine.

Me and my lady drink espresso multiple times a day and we dont need best cappucchino maker, but doesnt hurt to have for friends.

I never owned one so I was looking at models simmilar to one I tried:

  • 22.112.B
  • 22.115.B
  • 21.117.B
  • 21.110.B

They are all about the same price and description. Are they any different?

Also, is there anything else you would recommend instead?

Thx

True, you have to sacrifice some cup quality and fine tuning with automatic espresso machines, but I still love my Delonghi Magnífica XS. It gives me pretty decent espresso, is fast, reliable, easy to maintain and easy to use; sometimes even, stars align and it brings a delicious cup.

I work from home and had to decide between this and a entry level "real" espresso machine and had to accept that I really needed a fast work flow to get my coffee fix during work hours and to get a nice fast latte or cappuccino for breakfast. If I have the time to prepare a outstanding cup, I turn to my V60. If I have even more time, I go to some coffee shop to get a great espresso.

Absolutely! Picking a coffee machine is a lot of personal preference, and I hope I didn't come across as an all-in-one hater. I think lots of people will be perfectly happy with an all-in-one machine, especially for the result you get with almost no effort. I can't tell you how many times I've daydreamed about a more automatic setup after 45 minutes of playing barista at family gatherings.
