Rating of the best coffee machines for home up to 30,000 rubles for 2022

How to find morning vivacity and good mood, fill the house with a pleasant aroma and feel the taste of a new day? Millions of people around the world prefer an exquisite drink - coffee. Technology has stepped far forward, almost every avid coffee lover can purchase an excellent home coffee machine.
The variety of systems, designs and additional features is amazing. In addition to price and ergonomics, there are a number of features that you should pay attention to.

How to choose the right coffee machine

Faced with an abundance of offers, it is easy to get confused, so it is necessary to formulate your expectations.
The whole range of units can be divided into:

1. carob;
2. drip;
3. capsule.

Espresso units are distinguished by the number of groups - from one to four.

Horn type

This type of device belongs to one-group devices.
Ground coffee is put into the horn, pressed, and water heated by means of a thermoblock is passed through the mass.
In semi-automatic machines, the buttons of the strait are turned on and off manually. Automatic machines stop the strait on their own.
Water passes through the coffee mass under pressure, which distinguishes the machine from the rest, in particular for espresso.

Water heated to 86°C (up to 93°C) must pass through a 9 bar coffee pellet in 30 seconds to produce a quality espresso.

The horn system is compact and cost-effective. A little care for the apparatus is to wash the horn after use and dry it.

A paper filter with pressed coffee or a pod makes it easy to maintain the machine and is a simple rinse.

Models with an automatic cappuccino maker that froths milk are especially popular because of the ability to prepare cappuccino and latte.

drip type

The principle of making coffee in the system is also called "American". The built-in heater brings the water temperature to a certain value and passes it through the ground coffee.Quick preparation and moderation of the strength of the drink, combined with low cost, made this type of coffee maker common in a number of countries.

The advantage is the absence of the need for a constant loading of ingredients, as well as the long-term preservation of the temperature of the finished drink.

Some models are equipped with coffee grinders, which distinguishes them from the rest.
The volume of the tank can vary and therefore should be based on individual needs.

capsule type

The title of the inventor of coffee capsules belongs to Eric Favre, a brilliant idea came to him while working at Nestle.

How it works? High-pressure water heated almost to a boil is driven through a capsule with ground coffee, which is pre-pierced, making a quick brew.

cappuccinatore

The universal built-in unit allows you to easily and quickly prepare cappuccino with pleasant milk foam. The unit does not need additional accessories and equipment.
An automatic milk frother will prepare milk foam in 30 seconds, and a model with a manual frother requires the owner's effort.

Machine power

At moderate rates up to 1000 W, cooking takes a longer time, which also affects the stability of the foam.
Power over 1000 W guarantees a fast process and additional tasks.

water tank

The more water the machine allows you to fill, the more servings you can get at the output. You should decide in advance on the number of users so that everyone is satisfied and has a good mood in the morning for the whole day.

Steam supply

The steam wand is regulated by a steam valve, which is necessary for warming cups and frothing milk into cappuccinos.

coffee grinder inside

It is no secret that freshly ground grains have a richer aroma and give a special piquancy to the drink. The built-in coffee grinder affects the increase in the cost of the unit, however, a true coffee connoisseur consciously decides on an expensive purchase.

cleaning

Waste raw materials in their volumes depend on the portions received. Automatic cleaning independently removes the remnants of ingredients, a manual system involves a thorough washing with cleaning of the tanks.

pressure gauge

A special device controls the pressure and temperature in the boiler. The function is necessary to obtain information about the readiness of the machine for operation. The working pressure is 1.1-1.5 atmospheres and varies depending on the model and manufacturer.

A pressure drop below the permissible threshold can be triggered by the intake of a large volume of water or steam. In such a case, a pause is made to return the machine to working condition. There is a pump pressure gauge and a boiler pressure gauge, they can be made in a single unit.

The brew group pressure is monitored by the pump pressure gauge. The working pressure is 9 atmospheres, with a deviation from this indicator, we can talk about a breakdown of the unit.

At a stop of work the manometer shows zero value.

Water connection

The ability to connect to the water supply is typical for professional units. The need is related to high performance. In any case, such a model requires a system for cleaning, changing filters and monitoring water quality. All these functions are built into the device at the software level.

Embeddability

Ultra-modern kitchens provide for the possibility of built-in models of coffee machines. The device requires a convenient location to be always at hand and at the same time maintain a single design.

Material

High-quality manufacturing materials - plastic cases with metal parts determine the reliability and durability of the gadget. Attention should also be paid to the quality of the production of materials.

Design

The number of built-in units and the volumes of the tanks determine the dimensions of the machine. It is important to understand how harmoniously the unit will fit into the kitchen interior, and will not create inconvenience to the workspace.

Price and manufacturers

The cost of coffee machines for the home on average ranges from 4,500 to 30,000 rubles. The number of additional functions, the possibility of preparing a number of drink recipes, the built-in coffee grinder and cappuccinatore directly affect the price level.

Some of the best manufacturers include:

• De'Longhi;
• Philips;
• Saeco;
• Krups;
• Melitta;
• Vitec;
• Siemens.

Errors when choosing

The device should meet the requirements of the household as much as possible. If the priority for family members is the classic of the coffee genre - espresso, then you can save a lot on models without a cappuccinatore.

Having determined in advance the location of the unit in the kitchen, should you choose a catchy design of the device, which will almost completely hide in a secluded corner.

Do not trust the popular belief about heating the metal burrs of the built-in coffee grinder. The difference in heating temperatures between ceramic and metal parts is within 4°C, and the maximum mode of using the grinding function categorically cannot spoil the taste of coffee.

Top models are equipped with additional sound insulation.It should be remembered that the process of washing the grains makes the maximum noise, so you need to seriously approach the problem of the noise effect.

For lovers of flavored beans with the taste of chocolate, liquor or almonds, it is important to know that it is impossible to put such raw materials into the machine. Such a mistake will cost the breakdown of the unit.
