Drip or espresso? A 20-second guide
Drip machines make a full pot of regular brewed coffee. They are great if you drink it black or with a splash of milk, or if you want a few cups for the whole room.
Espresso-style machines make strong, concentrated coffee and can froth milk, so they are the move for lattes and cappuccino. Entry-level ones are fun and affordable, but they won't match a cafe machine.
Quick questions
Do I need a milk frother?
Only if you like lattes or cappuccino. For black coffee or coffee with milk added on the side, a drip machine does the job.
Which one is easiest for beginners?
The two drip machines. Add water and ground coffee, press the button, done.
How do I keep it running well?
Rinse removable parts after use and clean the machine regularly. Follow the manual for descaling, especially if you have hard water.
So, which one?
Want simple, big-batch coffee? Go for the Morphy Richards Europa. Want it to look cute too? Pick the Borosil Brew Mate.
Dreaming of foamy drinks? The Prestige Espresso and the DOMESTICA Brewcraft have you covered, and the Domestica adds a steam wand.
Whichever you choose, your wallet and your sleep schedule will thank you. ☕
