All specs side by side
Brewing
Built-in grinder
Fresh grinding right before brewing matters more for taste than almost anything else. A built-in grinder saves buying a separate one.
Grind settings
More steps let you fine-tune extraction for different beans. Below about 15 steps, dialing in espresso gets hard.
Adjustable brew temperature
Light roasts like hotter water, dark roasts cooler. Without adjustment you are stuck with one setting.
Milk
Milk frothing
A manual steam wand gives the best microfoam for latte art but takes practice. Automatic systems are easier but less flexible.
Convenience
Water tank
A bigger tank means refilling less often. For two milk drinks a day, about 60 oz lasts several days.
Size and weight
Height
Measure the space under your kitchen cabinets. Many machines need a few extra inches on top to refill the water tank or bean hopper.
Counter space
Width times depth, the area the machine takes up on your counter.
Weight
Heavier machines stay put when you lock in the portafilter. Lighter ones are easier to move and store.
Other
Power
Higher wattage usually means faster heating, but it says nothing about coffee quality.
