Budget<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Non-electric brewers are your best option if your budget is tight. Moka pot and French press machines are usually under \u00a330. If you are set on getting an electric coffee maker, know that a lot of pod machines are quite affordable. Remember to compare capsules\u2019 compatibility and prices before choosing one brand over another.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/div>\r\n\t\t\t<\/section>\r\n\t\t \t\t\t

\r\n

Maintenance & Cleaning<\/strong><\/h3>\n

How much time are you willing to dedicate to cleaning your appliances? All electric brewers need regular descaling and flushing with<\/span> manual espresso machines needing the most care<\/span><\/a>. On top of cleaning the machine itself, portafilters, filter baskets and drip trays will also need to be scrubbed clean pretty often.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/div>\r\n\t\t\t<\/section>\r\n\t\t \t\t\t

Accessories<\/strong><\/h3>\n

If you\u2019re a minimalist at heart, you might not want to buy accessories such as grinders, scales and coffee tampers. A bean-to-cup machine is the best standalone option out there. All you need is good quality coffee beans. An added bonus? They usually come with a milk frother.<\/span><\/p>\n

Pod machines are also a good pick if you\u2019re looking for something small and don\u2019t want to buy a kettle and a grinder.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/div>\r\n\t\t\t<\/section>\r\n\t\t\t<\/section>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\n\n
