Bosch Tassimo Vivy 2 Coffee Machine

Is The Bosch Tassimo Vivy 2 Coffee Machine As Versatile As Claimed?

Bosch Tassimo Vivy 2 Coffee MachineThe Bosch Tassimo Vivy 2 Coffee Machine looks like a machine that will be the complete antithesis to those big, hands-on barista-level coffee machines.

It is compact with very little going on on the outside apart from the nozzle, a couple of buttons, some LED lights and a drip tray.

The idea here is that this cute little device will create any type of drink you want with the touch of a button, whenever you need it.

There are no clever features or complicated processes. This sounds perfect for busy coffee drinkers, but does it offer what they need?

Dualit Espresso-Auto 4 in 1 Coffee Machine

Can The Dualit Espresso-auto 4 in 1 Coffee Machine Excel At Tea Making?

Dualit Espress-auto 4 in 1 Coffee MachineThere is a bit of a trend right now for coffee makers that go above and beyond – and the Dualit Espresso-auto 4 in 1 Coffee Machine takes this into interesting territory.

One of the best questions a machine can ask of its user is this: “which of these different drinks would you like to try today”.

A combination coffee and tea maker, when well-designed, should open up new possibilities for a wider demographic of users.

But, that machine also needs to be smart enough to understand the difference in the processes. Is this the case with this espresso coffee maker?

JURA A1 Bean to Cup Coffee Machine

Can The JURA A1 Bean to Cup Coffee Machine Make Elegant Espresso?

JURA A1 Bean to Cup Coffee MachineThe JURA A1 Bean to Cup Coffee Machine looks brilliant when set out on a kitchen counter. It has the simple, clean shape that many consumers want in their kitchen.

It leans towards the trend of the espresso machine that hides all of its best functions, rather than the more over-the-top barista-friendly systems.

It seems as though this is designed for the new user with minimal coffee-making experience.

The system is all about convenient settings and fast, precise processes for consistent espressos. But, can this bean to cup machine actually deliver on these expectations?

Can The Smeg ECF01 Espresso Machine Make Your Morning Coffee In Style?

Smeg ECF01 Espresso Coffee MachineSome coffee machines are designed to be conversation starters and the Smeg ECF01 Espresso Machine fits that mould nicely.

This attractive model has a design that is reminiscent of the mid-century style and comes in lots of fun colours.

The idea here is that this is a compact system for espressos and cappuccinos with just enough user-friendly features to get by.

On first impressions, it looks like the sort of machine that is for those that like simple, fashionable coffee makers over comprehensive, smart ones. So, does it offer enough features for a good cup of coffee?
