Rating of TOP 9 coffee machines and drip coffee makers from Philips. Tips for choosing and characteristics of the best models

The process of choosing this type of equipment must be approached from afar and thoroughly. In this article we will try to reveal the basic principles of choosing a coffee machine and consider the features of some brands.

All coffee machines have basic properties: reliability, performance, functionality, ease of use, care features, design, prestige, etc.

First, let's define what a COFFEE MACHINE is?

These are complex household appliances, with many components, assemblies and mechanisms. The main ones: pump, thermoblock or boiler, coffee grinder, logic board (“brains”) and brewing mechanism. There are many more interesting details in the coffee machine, but they are not so significant, so we will not dwell on them now.

Features of Saeco coffee machines

The Italian company Saeco is part of the Philips corporation, which means its coffee machines meet the same high quality and safety requirements as other models of this transnational company.

The main advantages of Saeko models are considered to be:

· intuitive controls;

· presence of a ceramic coffee grinder;

· removable teapots with an adaptation system “for grain”;

· low noise level.

According to customer reviews, the main disadvantages of Saeco Philips devices are the lack of strength adjustment (in some modifications) and the inability to remotely control the device.

Philips models

Philips Saeco automatic coffee machines offer the following:

• Incanto. Built-in automatic cappuccino maker with milk jug and suction tube. The product range includes 6 types of drinks. The machine can choose from 5 bean grinding modes , as well as the amount of water for the desired strength. There is a water filter with a self-cleaning function and a steam generator for cleaning internal components.

• Intelia Deluxe is an automatic cappuccino maker; you can put ground beans and bean coffee into the coffee grinder. Several grinding modes. Automatic system rinsing and hot steam treatment for disinfection. One of the disadvantages is that there is no water sensor, so it is difficult to determine the amount of water left in the tank.

• Pico Baristo is a small automatic coffee machine with 11 programs. 10 coffee grinder operating modes. The disadvantage is the high cost.

• Xelsis - 15 programs for preparing drinks, 12 grinding in a coffee grinder. The device has a self-cleaning function for the cooking and milk blocks, which eliminates the appearance of an unpleasant odor due to dried milk.

Features of Delonghi coffee machines

Delonghi coffee makers are usually classified as premium products. Despite their fairly high cost, they are in constant demand and rightfully occupy the place of leader in this category of goods.

The main advantages of Delonghi grain machines include:

· compact dimensions;

· simple brewing unit;

· stylish design;

· possibility of remote start.

The material of the millstones installed inside the coffee machine caused criticism from users. Made of steel, these parts are susceptible to corrosion and can also cause bitterness in the finished drink.

Delonghi models

Of the automatic models, the most budget-friendly is 350.15.V in the Dynamics series. Its cost is about 35 thousand rubles. You can customize it according to your own preferences. The cappuccino maker in the form of a panarello tube is easy to clean. It is recommended to buy updated models for your home, since the old ones are gradually being phased out.

The Magnifica series will cost a little more. These machines are direct competitors of Saeko. You can heat milk without frothing and customize drink settings. These are the cheapest automatic milk models.

In this series you can find steel pannarellos, as well as a different body color if necessary. The Magnifica series has devices with a double thermoblock that do not waste time heating water first for espresso, then for frothing milk - this is done simultaneously.

The Authentic series are budget simple models with a conventional manual cappuccino maker without adjusting the foam height. Their width is small - about 20 cm, but the units are more elongated in depth - this must be taken into account. An auto-cappuccino machine costs more – about 45 thousand rubles.

Cafe Korzo and Cafe Venice machines are considered slow and noisy. Their size is also larger than other coffee makers with similar functionality. Both models can be bought from 19 to 30 thousand rubles.

Based on all models, we can conclude that the manufacturer integrates the functionality of premium coffee machines into middle-class units, so you don’t have to choose between high cost and good taste.

Which brand is better?

As you can see, when comparing coffee makers in the same price range, Saeco and Delonghi have approximately the same operating parameters, with minor design and operational differences. Our advice is that for those who prefer coffee with sourness, it is better to opt for Saeco equipment. If you consider yourself a fan of classic bitter and hot espresso, you will definitely like the drink brewed using a Delonghi machine. In terms of reliability, Saeko and Delonghi are also equivalent. The duration of the warranty period stated by both companies is 5 years after purchase.
