This is probably more of a marketing ploy than anything else. How the marketeers would want you to believe that the more expensive the item, the better it is.

But, this metric would be flaw when used to identify the best coffee brewers. Yes, the higher priced model has more features and promises to make the coffee brewing process as simple as possible, however, there is one variable that is missing.

And that is you! Your taste profile and your lifestyle constitute to what are best coffee makers. Imagine, staying in a 80 square feet house with hardly any space for your microwave oven, and people all says that Saeco is a great coffee machine, but do you have the space for it?

Most so called Best Coffee Makers have a higher price bracket, because they are reviewed or even endorsed by “coffee gurus”, but do note that these are other people’s review and not yours! Ultimately, the coffee machine should have a direct fit with your lifestle, because it would be the coffee that goes through the morning, afternoon and evening with you…

Personally, I would take the stand that higher pricing does not equate to best coffee machines. In fact, for a person that lives in a 80 square feet house, the best Saeco fully automatic machine would cause more hindrance than help in brewing coffee.

It would be probably a Senseo that is less than one hundred dollars that is small and easy to use that would add more value to the guy with the 80 square feet house. It is small enough to fit into the house, and he does not have to “move around” with those tamping or dosing, he simply need to insert a pod and press a button for his coffee.

Space and area to allocate to the coffee maker is just an example of how one should choose their best coffee maker according to their lifestyle.

Then, there is the taste profile that we have not touch on, let’s say you are someone that always have a regular coffee, and love it, buying a very sophisticated espresso machine might not make much sense.

This is my take folks: -higher pricing coffee maker does not necessarily meant the best coffee makers. The best coffee machine should be something that have an exact match with your lifestyle, it should simplified your life. I make this statement, because, I have seen so many friends buying espresso machine trying to be the next “coffee experts”, only to discover that these machine are too difficult to use -what a waste of money and effort!
