Features of compact devices

The stereotype that a small coffee machine will initially be worse than a large version is erroneous in most cases. Case size does not directly correlate with functionality. The exception is only "super-automatic" professional type. Given their capabilities, such devices are technically impossible to fit in a small case.

Sizes of a coffee machine for a home usually vary in the range of:

width - from 23 to 25 cm,
height - from 32 to 40 cm,
depth - not less than 40 cm.

The narrowest models have a width of 19 to 21 cm, but manufacturers often compensate for this with a greater depth, which can be considered a drawback. Moreover, even small coffee machines for home use will require free space from above or from the side (only when the container with used tea leaves or other compartments open to the side).

The only significant drawback that will have to "pay" for the reduced size of the device is its small capacities. Compact home grain coffee machines often have smaller tanks for coffee beans, water or milk, although this depends on the manufacturer.

Philips HD8827 / 09

This inexpensive home grain mini coffee machine is in great demand. It not only has a small case, but is also one of the cheapest models that are present on the market.

Despite the price, the device has several significant advantages:

ceramic millstone of coffee grinder and 5 degrees of grinding,
large tank for grains (250 grams),
self-cleaning and water filtration systems,
the ability to prepare two servings of the drink at the same time.

The only drawbacks are a manual cappuccino maker and a modest control panel. Approximate price - from 27,000 to 29,000 p.

DeLonghi ETAM 29.660.SB

This is a compact coffee machine for the home with an automatic type cappuccino machine from the Autentica series. It has impressive functionality, despite the small case. The width of the device is only 19.5 cm, and the depth is 34 cm (much smaller than other coffee machines). Nevertheless, the compactness in the device of the Italian brand is offset by a height of 48 cm.

The main advantages include:

automatic cappuccino machine with a built-in (removable) milk tank and foam density regulator,
wide range of drinks
the use of both beans and ground coffee,
cup stand,
coffee grinder with 13 degrees of grinding,
personalization function to save your own recipes.

This model has a full range of functions, and only the price of 53-54 thousand rubles can be considered a minus.

The manufacturer also has a younger model from the same series DeLonghi ETAM 29.510.B. It is identical in function to 29.660.SB, but has a manual cappuccino machine instead of an automatic one. The cost of such a coffee machine is 39-40 thousand rubles.

DeLonghi ETAM 36.364.M

Despite its small size, this "super-automatic" is a representative of the premium category PrimaDonna XS De Luxe. Able to cook all types of drinks and has a full range of features.

The main advantages include:

metal case
millstones with 13 degrees of grinding,
automatic cappuccino machine with foam regulator,
built-in milk tank (removable tank),
adjustment of temperature, strength and amount of liquid in the portion.

With a model width of 20 cm and a height of 32 cm, she has only one minus - a depth of 50 cm. The cost of the coffee machine is 99-100 thousand rubles.

Saeco SM5572 / 10

Although the device is not one of the smallest coffee beans for coffee beans, Saeco has a very small size. Great for a small office or home.

It has a number of significant advantages:

the possibility of preparing 13 options for drinks,
built-in coffee grinder with ceramic millstones and 12 degrees of grinding,
personalization with 4 different profiles,
automatic cappuccino machine and removable milk jug,
advanced cleaning system.

A conditional disadvantage is its cost - from 75,000 to 99,000 rubles.

The water tank is taken from above from behind - with limited space and a cabinet overhanging from above, it can be really inconvenient.
A steam valve with a panarello nozzle is less convenient than competitors' - it is short.
Coffee is a little bit bitter than Philips Saeko, but those who endure hate sourness at the slightest manifestation are even better.

Number 4. Philips HD8654

👉 Detailed review

Current prices:

The most affordable milk machine in a compact class

Key Features:

With a fairly compact size (29 x 42 x 32) the most affordable milk machine that makes cappuccino "in one click" without having to rearrange the cup between different dispensers.
As for me, the disclosure of taste shades of high-quality grains is better than that of competitors.
Ceramic coffee grinder - works a little quieter and cannot set fire to very fried grains at a minimum grinding. Although objectively a plus is so-so, since at home it is extremely difficult to set fire to grains on any steel coffee grinder.
Extremely simple operation.

Controversial issues:

In order not to rearrange the cup when preparing the cappuccino, it is necessary to use a cup with a rather large “visor” to cover the distance between the coffee and milk spouts.
There is no “Lungo” button, that is, on the control panel there are only two buttons for serving drinks: Espresso, Cappuccino.
Even relatively modest tanks are relatively modest: 1 liter for water, 8 servings for oilcake, and a very small drip tray. More than 2-3 people can be stressful.
The maximum height of the cups placed under the dispenser is 95 mm.
There is no adjustment of the supply temperature, although the optimal one is set from the factory.
It works only with grains, ground coffee can not be used. At the same time, I personally do not think this is a minus, since using ground coffee when buying a grain machine is a sin.
Only two fortress settings.

Character screen without Russification.
Modest tanks are relatively modest even: for water - 1.1 liters, for cake - 9 servings. More than 2-3 people can be stressful.

I have been using DeLonghi PrimaDonna xs 36.365 for a year and a half. So far I have been very pleased with the complaints.The fact that the tank at the back is open access is even vice versa good. Now I will explain why. I used to bother with the fact that it constantly needs to be filled because of a small volume, but this issue was resolved by connecting an automatic Aqualey water filling system http://aqualey.ru/
(Thanks to this simple float valve system, you can forget about filling the tank with water). Further, about the bitterness, what is more bitter in comparison with analogues is very controversial. I personally do not have enough bitterness at times, sometimes it makes frank sour meat. First of all, it depends on the coffee itself, the proportion of robusta in the blend and the degree of roasting. Secondly, a lot depends on how you wind the coffee grinder (many never set up at all and use it as it was from the box, but in vain). If you want sourness - take a mixture of medium / light roasted grains and one hundred percent arabica, Want a real taste of Italian espresso with that noble bitterness - choosing dark / medium-dark roast with a share of robusta in a blend of 10-30%. I prefer the last option. The choice of grinding depends on the degree of roasting; the lighter the roasting, the finer the grind should be set. There are a lot of setup instructions on the Internet, who are interested - you will find. For cappuccino and latte, bitterness in coffee is rather necessary, as coffee taste should dominate, not milk. If a coffee-milk drink is brewed from light roasting of 100% Arabica, then there will not be that coffee taste, the taste of warmed milk is more than coffee.
Of the disadvantages of a coffee machine is the overpriced. It would be possible to take cheaper the aforementioned etam 29660. But the overpayment for stainless steel. But it’s easy to take care of stainless steel

Sergei

Thanks. I chose my car! :)

Natalya

Hello, I read the site floor))) Thank you for your debriefing)
But I could not choose, even as an assistant, my problem is that the kitchen is very narrow and the maximum depth I can allow is 33cm.
Be sure to cappuccino machine. Cost up to 30-35.000
I will be very grateful for the help in choosing

Julia

Depth 33 cm is a problem. In reality, the only option is Krups based on the EA80 / EA81 / EA82 platform.
Moreover, with the “one-touch” auto-cappuccino machine, the depth of these modifications rises to 38-39 cm due to the fact that the jug is docked in front.
Therefore, there are modifications with a semi-automatic cappuccino machine (the glass will need to be moved from under the coffee nozzle to the milk), but the milk container can be placed on the side, that is, the depth is not eaten:
Krups EA8050
Krups EA8080
Krups EA826E - with a steel front - https://101kofemashina.ru/krups/ea-8105/
and Krups EA82F0 but check for completeness, it happens with a jug of milk, it happens without, and you can’t determine by the article number!
In fact, this is all one and the same machine in a different design, you can choose in appearance and price.
In reality, I don’t know more specifically the grain coffee machines, only the carob / capsule ones.

Dmitry

What do you think about Philips 8649? Is she worse than Krups?

Julia

she has a depth of 42 and a manual cappuccino machine

Dmitry

For some reason, only on the site 42 you see 30 cm depth everywhere

Julia

because everywhere ravings and gag, and only with me is true. and this is not a joke, but a reality 😉

Dmitry

Oh, what a pity I really hoped

Julia

Good day.
Dmitry, I have a little more depth - 35 cm. Does the range of the proposed models not increase in comparison with 33 cm?
What about the Kambrook ACM500
Thank you in advance.

Elena

“Does the number of proposed models not increase compared to 33 cm?” - I did not understand this phrase, I do not know what to say.

Dmitry

To a question from Julia, you gave an answer including a list of models of coffee machines with a depth of not more than 33cm.
In my case, the required depth of the coffee machine is no more than 35cm.
Will the list of models increase in my case compared with Julia's requirement of 33cm.

Elena

no all the same

Dmitry

Dmitry, and if then we don’t get attached to the depth, we’ll think where to stick. What is better
Coffee machine Philips EP3558 / 00 or MELITTA CAFFEO SOLO & PERFECT. Or something third?

Julia

I believe that Philips EP3558, if you take it for about 25-27 thousand rubles, is now one of the best purchases in terms of price / quality in principle.

Dmitry

Thanks did not wait for an answer, dissuaded from her because of the silicone grease they said not to find. Bought Delonghi ETAM 29.510

Julia

Delongs need to be lubricated no less than all the others, and grease can be bought even from me - https://101kofemashina.ru/repair/
But the 29.510 is compact, a fact, although not in depth.

Dmitry

Thank you very much! Us in m video the girl told her not to buy anywhere and so on generally convinced to buy the phillips, Delong said better. True, they didn’t buy from them, but the price of 35,000 didn’t work; I bought equipment in the kingdom for 26,000, Philips even came out more expensive. Here my husband just brought, let's try coffee 🙂

Julia

26 for her a great price, so everything is fine.

Dmitry

And does the cappuccino machine seem to me more convenient with a steam pipe? It seems to me that it’s not very convenient with a jug or a container, and washing constantly will take off. Or do I not understand something?

Julia

I am also a little more handy with the pipe, but this is not ultimatum, many people like the jug more. This is not such a radical difference. The tube also needs to be washed, in semi-automatic machines such as Melitta Solo Perfect Milk it looks like putting a glass with clean water and starting to beat the milk, it is longer than a quick cleaning with the same Philips 3558.

Dmitry

Hello, help me decide. The coffee machine is home for two, I want the quality and thoughtfulness of the mechanism, compactness. In principle, only a lungo with settings by volume, and a fortress, cappuccino is not necessary to drink at all. I can take care of it every day myself, so the removable unit and the price are underestimated, respectively). I like Melitta Caffeo Solo, but there some kind of fragile twist seems to look, maybe De’Longhi ECAM 22.110-21.117, what do you say? Or maybe you will advise from phillips?

Konstantin

Hello again. That's all, I almost made up my mind, went into the supermarket and felt once again everything alive. Basically, it costs one thing at cosmic prices, how much I live for so long and wonder how people can be bred for that kind of money for such goods of dubious quality. Delongs still somehow slept, at Siemens I do not earn so much, everything else is in the oven. You have to take the De’Longhi ECAM series, there is a moment, and constantly move the barrels of water from the side here under the fill, do you think the valve is tenacious, will not flicker ?? It would be better with a jug on top). I’m still swinging at ETAM, and the gourmet itself is essentially just a lungo, I like to customize it for myself, what do you say the game is worth it? ECAM 22.110 for 20,000 p., ETAM was a stock yesterday 25500r, already 28000r.

Konstantin

the valve at the water tank can really start to leak, but as a rule this happens after many years of operation and should not affect the choice. anything else can die by then 😉 Choosing ECAM - ETAM to do
1. in size, if there are no problems with them, then do not care
2. ETAM has a special LONG program for a more correct American, by the way, for a large lungo it can also be relevant. Not everyone has ECAM, 22.110 just doesn't have LONG. The LONG of the ECAM platform available from Delonghi ECAM is 23.120.

Dmitry

Melitta’s twist is normal, but if you are from the regions, then the melitta’s service there is much harder than the Philips and delongs.
In principle, you can choose from here https://101kofemashina.ru/rating-cheap-2015/ positions 1,2,4,5. From delonghi and Philips you need to choose according to your preferences, delonghas are a little bit hotter and a little hotter, at max it can be made stronger, Philips is better at revealing sourness, their reliability and service are generally the same.

Dmitry

Good afternoon Dmitry. Advise a coffee machine up to 60,000 and a depth of 40-42 cm. A very small kitchen (Thank you.

Igor

There is always a problem with depth. Actually, almost everyone who has any chances is in this material, under which you ask.
Mostly compact in depth - Krupsy, but I generally do not recommend them, in principle. Basically, because of the complex built-in brewing device that needs to be returned to the service once every couple of years, and if it is screwed up (and the probability is higher than the competitors), then repairing is long and expensive. If not for this, then a good option in the given dimensions would be this one - https://101kofemashina.ru/krups/evidence/

Further, there are Delongs within 40 cm depth, these are the initial milk machines of the ESAM series - https://101kofemashina.ru/delonghi/esam-3500-4500/
But I do not recommend them either. Firstly, although they pass in depth, they are wide, as a result, they are quite large as a whole. But the main thing is that they beat milk foam a little worse than competitors, and most importantly - the low maximum height of the cups, up to 10 cm, which is quite important for milk drinks. Plus they are noisy, but this is not important to everyone.

And there remains the option of Melitta Varianza CSP or Passione OT (the second is the same as the first, but without My Bean Select - read in the review https://101kofemashina.ru/melitta/caffeo-varianza-csp/). These are generally excellent cars and I safely recommend them to everyone, with one exception. If you are in remote regions. Because the prevalence of the Melitta service in the regions leaves much to be desired. Few people can fix it, and if that happens, it will turn out long and expensive. There are examples when even authorized services could not fix any problems, but for one they broke something else. This is precisely because the machine as a whole is more complicated than the conventional Saeco / Delonghi. If you are "from the center", then you can take it safely. But you, apparently, from Novy Urengoy, this is an ambush. If this is so, then I will not undertake to recommend to you and Melitt, if all of a sudden, there you can get in with her specifically.

What to do. Well, actually, either to expand the depth criterion, or I checked it, Jura D6 fits into 41 cm. For drinks, espresso and cappuccino, this is a good car. But automation there is not at its cost, it’s decently taken for a name, the cappuccino machine is semi-automatic, the start of preparing milk drinks in two steps, in the review I have everything described in detail - https://101kofemashina.ru/jura/d6/. She also has a teapot, like Krupsov’s, and for good, in a couple of years she will have to be sent to a service for cleaning, but with Yura’s service it’s easier than with Krups, Melitta, Nivona. Well, I repeat, the drinks in the cup itself are of the highest level.

Dmitry

Thank you for the consultation. We have almost all coffee machines on sale, I'll take a closer look at the Melites. Good luck to you.

Igor

Dmitry, good afternoon!
Thank you for being:)

Question:
we select a coffee machine in the office. She will not be "passing". Only managers and guests will drink.
I don’t really want a drip (it seems that it will not taste good). No need for a cappuccino machine at all, there are no such lovers and who will bother. I also do not want to give it to the service. Ready to serve themselves, but without tin (just wash and wipe).

We don’t know what to stop at within 40 thousand rubles, tell me? Thanks in advance.

Nikita

Pricing such that the absence of a cappuccino does not reduce the price. so it’s easier to take with it and just not use it.
I would advise you to look for the "gray" (because of the hill, for example, without a local guarantee, because it is even more expensive) Jura D6 - for black coffee the best to taste. Yes, the teapot is built-in, and you will need to give it once a year or two to clean the insides, but the taste is in favor. But if you are still confused by this requirement of cleaning in the service, then take the 520th nivon, and indeed all the matters.

Dmitry

How to choose a coffee machine

In order for the coffee machine to exactly meet all the requirements of the owners, it is necessary to determine its variety.

Carob type devices for brewing coffee - one of the easiest to use: a removable reservoir in the form of a horn is filled with ground powder, installed in the apparatus, tightly fixed. After starting, a powerful jet of hot water passes through the tank, then the drink is passed through the built-in filter element that separates the thick.

Capsule machines even simpler - special capsules containing ground grains are placed in the device, and it quickly makes an aromatic drink.

Automatic coffee machine it can work either with ground coffee, or with whole grains, or with two types of filler at the same time. The last two options, equipped with coffee grinders, are also called cereals. The automatic device independently forms a coffee tablet, passes heated water through it.

Which coffee machine is better: capsule or grain? If you do not want to waste time loading, grinding the grains, it is better to choose the first option. But the true taste will reveal only the second type of coffee machines. If we say what is better: a horn or automatic coffee machine, then there are good models in both cases. But the machine does everything itself, you just need to load the coffee base. Therefore, such devices are considered the best.

When selecting, be sure to consider such an indicator as power. The larger this parameter, the faster the device will brew coffee. But with an increase in value, the strength decreases. Suitable indicators for creating a delicious home-made drink 1000-1500 watts.

A machine with a cappuccino machine will be required for those who prefer cappuccino and latte. It is thanks to him that airy milk foam is created.

warming glasses to reveal aroma,
the presence of a filter element, if tap water is used,
a second heater to accelerate the frothing of milk,
automatic decalcification to prevent scaling and increase the operational period of the device.
