They use whole beans in the main hopper and grind per drink. Some models include a bypass chute for pre-ground coffee, but that is a secondary path. The primary brewing path is always bean-to-cup.
The brew group needs rinsing weekly and a deeper clean monthly. The milk system needs daily rinsing if used, and a full clean weekly. Descaling depends on water hardness and tank size, with 0.5L to 1.5L tanks appearing in the samples.
A fully automatic machine grinds, doses, tamps, and brews with one button press. A semi-automatic machine requires the user to do those steps separately. The fully automatic trades shot-level control for repeatability and speed.
Tank capacities run from 0.5L to 1.5L, with 1.2L as a middle point in the samples. Widths reach 17 inches on larger units. A bigger tank means fewer refills but a deeper counter footprint.
A fully automatic espresso machine grinds beans, doses, tamps, and brews at the press of a button. The user fills the bean hopper and the water tank, then selects a drink. Milk frothing is built in on the samples shown, with a steam wand or a carafe that draws milk from a container.
Semi-automatic machines require the user to grind, dose, and tamp separately, then pull the shot manually. Manual lever machines require the user to control pressure by hand. Fully automatic machines remove all three steps.
The trade is control for convenience. A fully automatic machine cannot match the shot-to-shot adjustment of a semi-automatic or manual lever. It also has more internal parts to clean and maintain, including the brew group and the milk system.
