Our verdict on each
Delonghi
De'Longhi suits households that want a single maker covering espresso, bean to cup, pod and drip machines. Its 3 year warranty, a grinder inside the flagship automatics and support across email, chat and phone make it a steady choice for US kitchens planning more than a single purchase.
Hibrew.com
Hibrew.com suits anyone who wants a single brand to cover capsule, drip and semi automatic espresso without moving upmarket for a grinder. It scores 9 overall here, with entry pricing at $49 and a spare parts shop that keeps an older machine going.

Pros and cons
Delonghi
Pros
- A grinder is built into the flagship automatic, so no separate grinder is needed on the worktop.
- Coverage spans espresso, bean to cup, pod, drip and grinder options, more types than espresso, drip and grinder at Gastroback or bean to cup and espresso at Philips.
- Cover runs 3 years and a spare parts shop is available for replacements afterwards.
Cons
- The flagship reaches $2,499.95, so the top of the range sits far above the $549.95 entry point.
- Availability is limited to US, a single market, so the $2,499.95 flagship and its warranty are quoted for that market alone.
- Daewoo Electricals and Gastroback both list drip and espresso machines in drip, espresso and grinder and espresso, drip and grinder, covering the simpler end where De'Longhi's range starts higher at $549.95.
Hibrew.com
Pros
- Entry pricing of $49 ranks 12 of 65 brands, so a first machine sits within reach.
- The range spans espresso, bean to cup and pod, so a single brand covers pods, drip and espresso at once.
- The water tank on the semi automatic espresso machine holds 1.8 litres, enough for a run of drinks without stopping to refill.
Cons
- A grinder built in is not offered on the espresso flagship, so fresh beans need grinding elsewhere.
- Warranty cover runs 1 year, which is short next to the life of a machine worth keeping.
- Support runs on email, phone and help centre only, so live chat is not one of the options.
Who each suits
Delonghi
Who it suits
- Households that want espresso, bean to cup, pod and drip from a single maker.
- Shoppers in the US market who want a 3 year warranty and a spare parts shop.
- Buyers who want the grinder inside the machine, as the flagship automatic has one built in.
Who should look elsewhere
- Drinkers after pod machines alone, since Philips lists bean to cup and espresso and De'Longhi's pod route runs on nespresso original capsules as one option among several.
- Budget buyers who would start with drip, as Gastroback lists espresso, drip and grinder.
- Shoppers outside the US market, since US is the only support country listed.
Hibrew.com
Who it suits
- You want a single brand covering weekday pods and weekend espresso, with a spare parts shop behind the cheaper models.
- You are buying your first machine and the entry price decides whether that is possible at all.
- You care more about getting a phone helpline and a parts shop than about buying a famous name.
Who should look elsewhere
- You want bean-to-cup and nothing else: Philips covers bean to cup and espresso, a tighter list than the espresso, bean to cup and pod spread here.
- You want the shortest possible catalogue: Daewoo Electricals covers drip, espresso and grinder, simpler than the range on offer here.
- You want a grinder listed inside the espresso line: GASTROBACK pairs espresso with a grinder in espresso, drip and grinder, where a grinder built in is not offered on the flagship here.

Questions about each
Delonghi
What does the cheapest De'Longhi coffee machine cost?+
The automatic espresso range starts at $549.95. That is the entry machine rather than a subscription or a deposit, so the outlay is the price of the machine itself. The flagship automatic sits well above it at $2,499.95, which is the ceiling this range reaches in the category.
Is the grinder built into the machine?+
On the flagship automatic, yes. A grinder is built in, so whole beans go in without a separate grinder taking up worktop space. The water tank on that automatic holds 1.8 litres and the pump pressure is 19 bar.
Hibrew.com
What is the cheapest Hibrew.com coffee machine?+
The entry price is $49, taken from the capsule range, and that is the cheapest way into the catalogue. On that figure Hibrew.com ranks 12 out of 65 brands, so the opening price sits nearer the front of the field than most. Capsule suits a small machine and short drinks rather than milk service.
What does the most expensive Hibrew.com machine cost?+
The flagship price is $509, and it belongs to a semi automatic espresso machine rather than the capsule end. Hibrew.com ranks 32 out of 63 brands on that figure, which puts the top of the range in the middle of the field. Buyers wanting milk drinks pay for the upper tier, not the entry price.
