We have the Ninja Luxe Cafe Pro Series and it’s amazing. It’s a sweet spot of cost and quality.

Would have been great to test actually affordable machines. This is such an out of touch price range. $1700 and cheap should never be used in the same breath. This is elitist drivel and Wired should know better.

I’m a big fan of Delonghi, they have the best quality-price products. They are one of the first companies that started making fully autos decades ago and you can hear of costumers still using 15yrs old machines!

You should throw in a control of a drink made by a barista.

The true test would be to also include a professional machine and a more affordable machine (such as Ninja Lux Cafe or something similar in that price range).

PSA: You can get a base Philips super automatic with effectively the same brew mechanism as the winner for $300-$400.

Well because fully automatic machines are not for serious coffee. Put it up against a classic espresso machine and it won’t even be close

if the machine can't do a proper espresso, then it's full stop. You're just masking a bad product by turning it into a milk product.

As a technician that fixes all of these machines accept for the Terra kaffe, I can tell you Phillips will be making the best coffee, espresso and milk for the cheapest. But that comes at the cost of it being the cheapest, components aren’t great. A lot of plastic, bad connections, etc. but the coffee is probably the best out of the newer machines. Delonghi is okay, never get a specialista, only the ECAM. And simply never get a jura and never drink out of one. The brew unit is non-removable (by the consumer) and the cleaning cycle doesn’t realistically do anything. Day after day I pull apart mold crusted jura brew units for the service that realistically SHOULD be done every week, like you can phillips or delonghi, but it is screwed into the machine using proprietary screws for Jura only. Don’t even get me started on part availability. Phillips is the way to go if you need a super super auto. Or get a nice grinder, an aero press, and a gaggia classic. Probably will cost you around the same if not less than the Phillips. There’s a learning curve, but these machines are nothing but mold filled cockroach infested robots unless you’re insanely diligent about cleaning
