Our verdict on each
Cowsar
Cowsar suits buyers in the US who want a full coffee setup, from a drip pot to a grinder-equipped espresso machine, at value prices. Entry sits at $79.99 and the flagship at $569.99, machines are bought outright with no renewal, and cover runs 1 year.
Melitta
Melitta suits buyers who want a filter machine or bean-to-cup machine from one name, and the entry price of €39.99 makes it easy to start small. The Barista TS Smart adds a grinder and an auto-frother, so a single brand can cover cheap filter coffee and a full espresso setup.

Pros and cons
Cowsar
Pros
- A single brand covers the full set: espresso, bean to cup and drip espresso, bean-to-cup and drip, so the kitchen is not tied to capsules.
- A built in grinder on the espresso side, with auto frother milk handling on the 20 bar super fully automatic machine.
- Entry cost of $79.99 puts Cowsar among the cheaper brands in the coffee machine field, and support runs on email, phone and help centre.
Cons
- There is no spare parts shop, so wear parts and consumables have to come from general sellers rather than the brand.
- Warranty cover of 1 year is short for a machine bought outright and kept for years.
- Shipping covers the US market, so buyers elsewhere cannot be served by the listed delivery.
Melitta
Pros
- Entry price of €39.99 makes the cheapest machines a small outlay
- The Barista TS Smart has a grinder built in and a auto frother for milk drinks
- Spare parts shop keeps servicing simple, and support runs on phone, chat and help centre
Cons
- The range has no pod system, so none rules out capsule drinkers and their quick single-cup routine
- Espresso is not among its machine types (bean to cup, drip and pour over), while espresso, drip and grinder and bean to cup and espresso both cover espresso
- The flagship price of €950 leaves it outside the espresso machines most buyers in the ranking pick
Who each suits
Cowsar
Who it suits
- Households that want a single brand across the kitchen, from a drip pot at $79.99 to an espresso machine.
- Sellers who want a $569.99 flagship espresso with a built in grinder and auto frother milk handling in the same catalogue.
- New espresso buyers who prefer the none pod setup and the flexibility that comes with ground coffee.
Who should look elsewhere
- Anyone outside the US market, since the listed shipping policy does not extend beyond the US.
- Readers who want a spare parts shop, which Cowsar does not have.
- Shoppers who would rather have longer cover and a wider service footprint from GASTROBACK or Philips.
Melitta
Who it suits
- Households that want a cheap filter machine and, later, a grinder-equipped espresso machine from the same brand
- Drinkers who prefer ground coffee and beans over capsules, since the range uses none pod system
- Owners who like buying replacement parts themselves, as a spare parts shop is available
Who should look elsewhere
- Buyers set on espresso hardware, since espresso is not among bean to cup, drip and pour over and GASTROBACK covers that
- Capsule users, as the pod system is none and Philips centres on bean-to-cup and espresso
- Anyone chasing the highest spec at the lowest price, since the flagship costs €950

Questions about each
Cowsar
What does a Cowsar coffee machine cost?+
The cheapest machine in the coffee range is $79.99, and the top of the range is the $569.99 flagship. That covers a personal single serve maker, a semi-automatic espresso machine with a built in grinder, a super fully automatic machine with grinder, and a drip coffee maker. Budget for a specific model rather than a range, since the spread is wide.
Does the espresso machine have a grinder and a milk system?+
A built in grinder is confirmed on the espresso models, so whole beans are ground inside the machine. Milk on the super fully automatic model is handled by an auto frother system, and pump pressure on the espresso range is 20 bar. That saves a separate countertop grinder, and milk drinks happen without a manual wand.
Melitta
What is the cheapest Melitta coffee machine?+
The cheapest machines start at €39.99. That entry price covers the filter end of the range, which is where bean to cup, drip and pour over comes in, and it sits below the espresso ranking's median entry price of €150.54.
How much does the most expensive Melitta machine cost?+
The top of the range is priced at €950. The espresso ranking puts its flagship median at €691.91, so a Melitta flagship lands in a mid-priced bracket rather than at the top of the espresso field.
