How to choose a capsule coffee maker in terms of price / quality ratio?

Capsular coffee makers, as a rule, have similar functionality and provide maximum ease of use: just insert the capsule with the selected drink into the special compartment of the device, press the start button, and in just 30-60 seconds you can enjoy a fresh and aromatic drink.

The main requirements that the future owner of a capsule coffee maker should pay attention to include the following:

• control type - it can be an expensive touch screen display, spectacular and easy to maintain, or a convenient and understandable push-button mechanism that will save money, but require more careful care of the device body;
• device power - a parameter on which the speed of heating water and preparing a drink depends - the higher it is, the faster the owner will receive the long-awaited cup of coffee;
• capsule standard - the main difference between capsule coffee makers: when purchasing this or that model, it is worth studying the variety and type of original and compatible capsules offered, as well as their cost and the possibility of easy and quick purchase;
• pump pressure (bar) - the higher this parameter, the stronger and richer the drink will turn out, while it should be borne in mind that the strength of the drink is also affected by the type of coffee placed in the capsule and the degree of its roasting;
• water tank volume - as a rule, this parameter varies from 0.5 to 1.5 liters, while experts recommend focusing on the number of cups of coffee that you want to prepare at a time;
• the presence of a cappuccinatore - an indispensable addition for those who prefer coffee drinks with milk and whipped cream, and not the most necessary accessory for connoisseurs of exceptionally pure drinks, such as americano and espresso; at the same time, it should be borne in mind that a cappuccinatore that is completely suitable for the requirements of the owner can be purchased separately;
• self-cleaning function - some models of capsule coffee makers are equipped with a self-cleaning option on a regular basis or at the request of the owner, which greatly simplifies the procedure for caring for the device and extends its effective operation.
