Automatic Coffee Machines

Automatic coffee machines are designed to be elegant and functional. These machines (often in just one touch) will deliver a great espresso, cappuccino or flat white in seconds. You'll only have a small amount of cleaning to do, however these machines will often cover this task for you too.

Most fully automatic coffee machines will grind coffee beans, froth milk, and dispense both a single or double shot espresso. Added features like LED screens and touch controls give you a full range of options to customise your coffee experience. These may include, coffee strength, grind texture, temperature and coffee volume.

If you're leaning towards an automatic machine, but wonder how it stacks up against manual and capsule models, this article compares them all, looking at speed and convenience, consistency, freshness and flavour, authenticity, artistry, cleaning, reliability and price.
