Good morning, to all, which is the best B2C under £1,000? After watching, and reading reviews, I am much inclined towards the DeLonghi Soul, but open to change my mind. These are the priorities: 1. Grinder output that can be used, separately, to brew filter/pour-over. 2. all-in-one operation 3...

To all readers without special attention needs, I found this. The challenge is that, while I could put the grinder on top of the brewer and maybe get away with the ground coffee preparation, it still does not offer the half dozen different coffee based drinks... Are there any other brands that...

Facts do not cease to be true only because you do not like them: the coccumella remains the most highly regarded coffee experience for Italian coffee connoisseurs. Your description of devices' evolution exposes your confusion. Classic car, classic coffee, or classic whatever ... lovers, do not...

I have a question for other, more helpful, members: Do any of the B2C listed offer an option to pour boiling hot water and separate ground coffee? If yes, then could I not use that option to add ground coffee in a filter, inside a very basic filter holder on top of a cup and press hot water only?

Repeated unpleasant attitude and gratuitous comments do not offend me. Rather, they offend who posts them, by exposing his misfortune in upbringing and family. Sadly, because of those very misfortunes, this irony flies right above the head of who finds himself in such predicaments. The other...

Good morning. Absolutely no! No, no, no, no... any Italian coffe lover, will tell you that the best coffee is made by filtering, not with moka or espresso! Italians prefer to use a moka or an espresso only for semplicity and speed, not for better flavour. Any true Italian coffee lover uses the...

Thank you. This message was more helpful and the advice is a very good idea. It is not my wife who is fussy about coffee, it is I. And it is always the one who prefers our Technivorm filter coffee. My wife will be happy to switch from a cappuccino to a caffé&latte and/or other coffee based...

Good afternoon and thank you for your comments. I am not set on a super auto, my wife is. I explained in other posts the circumstances.

While taste is a personal preference (Ferrari/Ford) brewing methods are not. But, regardless, please choose which one is the Ford and which one is the Ferrari and then help me to understand which B2C makes the closest iteration to that car. I am here to ask for help, not to debate personal...

Thank you, yes. This is exactly what I am asking. Can you, or anyone, recommend which of those B2C listed produces the closest iteration to a filter coffee? Does anyone know what pressure, brew time, temperature, etc, those coffee makers use? Has anyone ever tried the coffees brewed by those...

Thank you for your reply. Yes, I did get the point, thank you. Perhaps it is my point that it is eluding you... "Better", as you put it, is a very subjective opinion. I asked which machine, from the list, brews the closest iteration to a filter coffee. The way the beans are ground, the...

Thank you but, again, can anyone recommend a B2C from this list considering the initial OP question ? Sage Oracle Touch JURA E8 De'Longhi Prima Donna Elite (chocolate, cold coffee and cold milk froth) De'Longhi Prima Donna Soul One (more options for longer brews, including coffee pot) Melitta...

Thank you for the kind recommendation which, I am sure, brews an excellent coffee however it does not help me in my choice. Can anyone, please, recommend which one of the cited machines (or other bean-to-cup) brews the closest coffee to a filter brew?

Good afternoon, and condolences to our British friends who lost their queen. I am Italian and I just moved to the UK. I have to buy a bean-to-cup machine (the reason why is s a long story) but I much prefer filter coffee, as brewed by Technivorm KB741. Can someone recommend which of these...
