Pros and cons
GASTROBACK
Pros
- Espresso, drip and grinder models sit under the same brand, per espresso, drip and grinder, so a whole coffee corner is covered.
- The flagship espresso machine has a built-in grinder, a steam wand and a thermoblock boiler, covering beans and milk drinks in the same body.
- Support runs on email, phone and help centre, and a spare parts shop keeps replacement parts on the same storefront as the machines.
Cons
- The flagship espresso machine costs €699.99, far above the site median of €492.95.
- Capsule drinkers get nothing here, since the pod system is none.
- Shipping covers DE and AT only, so buyers elsewhere face a cross-border order.
Morphy Richards
Pros
- Coffee machines start at £34.99, well below the £199.99 flagship pump machine
- Four machine types covered, espresso, bean to cup and drip, so espresso, bean to cup and drip all sit in one place
- The digital dual basket air fryer offers 7.2 litres of capacity with 14 programs and dishwasher safe parts
Cons
- The air fryer has no mobile app, so cooking is controlled from the unit rather than a phone
- Espresso pump pressure is 15 bar against a 19 bar site median, so pressure is at the lower end of the field
- Support runs on email and help centre only, with no phone line in the listed channels
Who each suits
GASTROBACK
Who it suits
- Buyers in DE and AT who want air fryers and espresso from the same store, with a spare parts shop behind the machines.
- Coffee drinkers who want a built-in grinder, a steam wand and a thermoblock boiler, where Chef iq covers multicooker alone.
- Shoppers who want blenders and stand mixers alongside the fryers, a mix closer to Daewoo Electricals and Arno, both listing air fryer, blender and stand mixer.
Who should look elsewhere
- Capsule drinkers, since the flagship's pod system is none.
- Shoppers outside DE and AT, who may find a nearer fit in Arno or Daewoo Electricals, both listing air fryer, blender and stand mixer.
- Households chasing the largest basket, since air fryer capacity ranks 24 of 69.
Morphy Richards
Who it suits
- UK households replacing a blender, air fryer or coffee machine without a big budget
- Shoppers who want a single brand for several small kitchen appliances
- People who plan to keep an appliance for years and value a spare parts shop and a 2 year warranty
Who should look elsewhere
- Shoppers who want a connected appliance, since the air fryer has no mobile app
- Capsule drinkers, as the pod system is none
- Anyone seeking high espresso pressure, since 15 bar sits at the 15 bar mark

Questions about each
GASTROBACK
What does a coffee machine cost at GASTROBACK?+
Coffee machines start at €89 for the espresso range, with drip and grinder models listed in espresso, drip and grinder alongside it. The flagship Design Espressomaschine Advanced Urban Duo costs €699.99, so the distance between the cheapest machine and the top of the range is wide, and buyers should decide early which end they need.
Where does GASTROBACK deliver?+
Shipping terms cover DE and AT, so a German or Austrian buyer is served directly from the store. Service and support come from the same base in Germany, so questions and warranty queries stay with the seller rather than a third party.
Morphy Richards
What does a Morphy Richards air fryer cost?+
The blender collection is where the entry price sits, at £34.99. Air fryers in the range are listed by capacity, with the dual basket model holding 7.2 litres and offering 14 programs. Coffee machines run from £34.99 up to the £199.99 flagship pump espresso.
Is there an app for the Morphy Richards air fryer?+
No. The dual basket digital air fryer has no mobile app, so cooking is set and started on the unit itself. That is a limitation against brands where most appliances connect to a phone, but it also means the fryer works without an app account or a connection.
