A sensible alternative to coffee machines with pods or capsules are fully automatic coffee machines from the medium price segment.
This is particularly good advice if you use the machine heavily, such as in the office.
The middle price segment starts here at around 500 euros.
In return, the fully automatic coffee machines offer more in terms of functionality, handling and settings.
They are also made of higher quality materials and thus withstand long-term use.
Beans, the amount of water and the amount of coffee can usually be adjusted more finely with these coffee machines than with inexpensive models.
The water temperature and the consistency of the milk foam can also be regulated.
In addition, user profiles can be saved so that each user can create their preferences separately.
Mid-range fully automatic coffee machines in the test
The test portal AllesBeste has tested 11 mid-range fully automatic coffee machines.
The test winner is the Dinamica ECAM 350.55.B.
by DeLonghi.
The fully automatic coffee machine offers 13 grinding levels and an adjustable rinsing function that cleans the milk froth system after each use.
This system is a further plus point: Depending on the setting, you can use it to produce liquid or solid foam.
Even with the basic settings, you can get good cappuccino and latte macchiato.
Another recommendation is the Melitta Caffeo CI: It offers excellent features and workmanship.
The machine has two bean hoppers, which is not a matter of course in this price range.
In addition, four user profiles can be created.
