Fans of milk coffee, cappuccino and latte macchiato rely on fully automatic coffee machines, where they can get their favorite drink served at the push of a button.
You can already achieve great results with the basic settings, which can also be adapted to your own individual taste.
A high-end fully automatic machine can well cost over 2,000 euros and not only looks good, but is also technically at the highest level.
Large, colored displays or control via app make operation convenient.
In the case of fully automatic coffee machines in the higher price ranges, significantly more stainless steel, aluminum and chrome are used.
This not only ensures a more elegant look, but also a longer service life.
In addition, high-end machines offer a noise-reduced or automatic grinder, finely divided adjustment options and sophisticated cleaning programs.
An absolute must for high-end fully automatic coffee machines is an automatic milk foam system.
This prepares cappuccino and latte macchiato at the push of a button.
The foam should be homogeneous and firm and have a pleasant drinking temperature.
The milk foam temperature can also be adjusted on many top-of-the-range coffee machines.
In addition, you should be able to prepare two milk coffee beverages with these machines at the same time.
High-end fully automatic coffee machines in the test

The favorite is the PrimaDonna Soul from DeLonghi.
The latest model from the PrimaDonna range offers luxury and progress at a fair price.
The electronic, stepless grinder can be controlled via the menu and an app.
Coffee is easy to prepare and the machine is cleaned automatically.
The quality of the drinks is also impressive.
The PrimaDonna Soul is the first DeLonghi machine to feature Bean Adapt technology, which adapts the brewing parameters to the respective coffee bean.
Another recommendation is the Melitta Caffeo Barista TS Smart: It is a stylish fully automatic machine with luxury equipment and costs well under 1,000 euros.
Operation on the device is not entirely intuitive, but this is made up for by the good smartphone app.
The drinks are convincing, especially the stable foam of the latte macchiato.
