Our verdict on each
Conqueco
Conqueco suits anyone who wants espresso away from a kitchen counter, and it does that with a small portable range rather than a full machine lineup. Its entry grinder sits well below the €127.49 median, and support runs through email, phone and help centre with a 2 years warranty behind it.
Lavazza
Lavazza suits households that want one coffee name to cover several formats, from a cheap pod machine to a grinder-equipped espresso flagship. It scores 9.3 overall, and the range opens at £89 for anyone buying a first machine.

Pros and cons
Conqueco
Pros
- Entry pricing starts at €79.99, far under the €127.49 category median.
- The portable range pumps at 18 bar, matching the middle of the 19 bar category spread.
- Support runs on email, phone and help centre, covering phone and email alongside a help centre.
Cons
- Milk handling is none on the portable range, which rules out cappuccino and latte drinks.
- Grinder built in is listed as no, so beans are ground in the separate grinder rather than in the machine.
- Bean to cup is not among its machine types, which cover portable espresso and grinder.
Lavazza
Pros
- Covers espresso, pod and bean to cup formats under one roof, so pods, beans and ground coffee stay in the same basket.
- Entry price of £89 sits below the site median of €96.46, which keeps the first purchase cheap.
- A grinder is built in on the range, and the flagship pairs that with an auto-frother over a 2.4-litre tank.
Cons
- The flagship price of £849.95 puts Lavazza at position 49 on that measure, mid-field rather than cheap.
- Support runs on phone, email and help centre, and a live chat line is not among them.
- The flagship machine draws 1,650 W, so it needs a dedicated socket and counts up electricity use.
Who each suits
Conqueco
Who it suits
- You drink Nespresso Original pods and want a machine that travels
- You are setting up a small kitchen or office coffee spot on a budget
- You already grind beans separately and want a portable espresso option
Who should look elsewhere
- You want milk drinks, since milk handling is none on the portable range
- You want one brand to cover bean to cup, since Philips lists bean to cup and espresso
- You want a drip brewer too, which Daewoo Electricals includes in drip, espresso and grinder
Lavazza
Who it suits
- Households switching from an old pod machine who want beans, pods and ground coffee under one brand.
- First-time buyers starting at the £89 end and stepping up to a grinder-equipped model later.
- Office and shared kitchens that need a machine with a grinder built in and an auto-frother.
Who should look elsewhere
- Shoppers who want a chat-based support line, since support runs on phone, email and help centre.
- Anyone who will only buy open bags of beans, because pods run on the nespresso original system.
- Buyers on a tight ceiling, since the flagship sits at £849.95.

Questions about each
Conqueco
How much does the cheapest Conqueco machine cost?+
Entry pricing starts at €79.99, which is one of the lowest entry figures in the category. The median across brands sits at €127.49, so Conqueco opens well below the field. You pay once for the machine and there is no renewal fee afterwards.
Does Conqueco make machines that froth milk?+
Milk handling on the portable range is none, so there is no steam wand or automatic frother there. That rules out cappuccino and latte drinks on those models. If milk drinks matter to you, Philips covers that ground with bean to cup and espresso.
Lavazza
What does the cheapest Lavazza machine cost?+
The entry machine is £89, which sits below the site median entry price of €96.46. That is a one-off price for the machine itself, with no renewal fee attached to ownership. Buyers who want a wider spread of drinks should look further up the same range.
What is the most expensive machine in the range?+
The SMEG Manual Espresso Machine tops out at £849.95. It carries a built-in grinder and an auto-frother, so the higher price buys both bean grinding and milk texturing in one body. On flagship price Lavazza ranks at 49 of 63.
