Automatic vs Manual coffee machines

What is an automatic coffee machine?

What you need to know about automatic machines is that they operate autonomously. All you have to do is push a little button and you're good to go: the result is great, hot coffee in your cup, all in less than a few minutes. Automatic machines typically start at $ 799 and the price can go up to $ $10,000.

Be aware, however, that to get delicious coffee at home, you don't necessarily have to spend thousands of dollars. There is an incredible variety of automatic machines on the market. The brand, expertly combined with your needs, will determine the budget to be considered so that you are satisfied with the results, performance and efficiency of your machine.

Small problem: not all automatic machines are equipped with a steam nozzle *, this small essential tool for making latte art. Those that have one are often much less efficient in terms of the pressure generated, which makes your task much more difficult when it comes to producing the perfect microfoam.

Automatic machines are therefore to be avoided if your intention is to devote yourself to latte art. On the other hand, if you're the type of person who doesn't want to mess around or you're a very busy person who doesn't have more than five minutes in the morning to make their coffee, these machines are definitely for you! They will produce, in a very short time, a panoply of quality coffees, ranging from espresso to cappuccino, macchiato and latte, and will require very little (if any) effort on your part!
