When covered under the manufacturer’s warranty it is possible to get a replacement in the case of a malfunction.

A burr grinder works in such a way that you can get a consistent, uniform size of grind each time, which is one of the key aspects of getting great tasting espresso. On the other hand an inferior blade grinder often leaves you with an inconsistent grind.

The espresso machine has an integrated grinder so that you don’t have to buy a separate one.

With a cup warmer you can heat the cups before pulling your espresso so that it doesn't go cold quickly, which affects the taste and quality. It also means that you don’t have to manually heat them using hot water.

An adjustable cup clearance is useful when you wish to use larger cups and mugs, such as when making a latte macchiato.

It has a steam wand, which allows you to make steamed/frothed milk to create other drinks from an espresso base.

The machine automatically deposits the used coffee grounds or pods into the dump box after extraction. The dump box capacity shows how many drinks you can create before it is full.

Best

The water tank is removable, making it easier to refill.

With a larger water tank you don’t have to refill it as often.

A hot water outlet is useful as it can be used to heat cups, as well as making americanos, long blacks and teas.

An integrated water filter produces cleaner water for brewing espresso. It also helps to prevent the build up of limescale.

After a certain period of being idle, the device will switch to a sleep mode to conserve power.

The machine automatically cleans the coffee circuit, meaning that the machine requires a minimal amount of cleaning.

The machine alerts you when it requires cleaning.

With a drip tray indicator the machine informs you of when you need to empty the tray.

These buttons can be programmed for different types of coffee such as an espresso, doppio or ristretto. This means once you have mastered a particular style of coffee, you can get it the same every time.

Best

With one press of a button you can create a cappuccino.

With a pre-infusion function you get a low pressure of water before it ramps up to around 9 bar of pressure. This gently expands the grinds to get a smooth extraction and to help prevent channeling in the cake.

Ground coffee, especially if freshly roasted and ground, results in much better quality coffee than the kind of results you get with pods or capsules.
