Our verdict on each
GASTROBACK
GASTROBACK suits cooks in Germany and Austria who want air fryers and coffee from the same seller, with espresso machines starting at €89. The trade-off is range depth: the flagship Design Espressomaschine Advanced Urban Duo costs €699.99 and the catalogue stays inside DE and AT.
Solis
Solis suits drinkers who pull shots by hand and want the grinder inside the machine, with milk textured at the jug rather than by an automatic frother. Entry pricing of €302.95 and flagship pricing of €492.95 put the range below the coffee machine flagship median of €464.35.

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.
Solis
Pros
- The grinder is built in, which keeps the setup to a single box and puts fresh grinding next to the group head.
- Milk runs through a steam wand system, which suits drinkers who want control over jug texture.
- A spare parts shop is available, so wear parts such as seals and baskets can be ordered from the brand.
Cons
- Machine types cover espresso and grinder under espresso and grinder, so bean to cup is not among them, unlike Philips at bean to cup and espresso.
- Price entry ranks at 47 of 65, so the entry machine sits toward the dearer end of the brands tracked on that measure.
- Milk is a steam wand system, so every milk drink takes work at the jug while Philips pairs espresso with a bean to cup route under bean to cup and espresso.
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.
Solis
Who it suits
- Drinkers who pull espresso by hand and want the grinder in the machine rather than beside it.
- Households buying a first setup around the coffee machine entry median of €139.44.
- Buyers in the markets listed under CH, LI and NL who want Swiss parts backup from Solis of Switzerland AG.
Who should look elsewhere
- Anyone after bean to cup convenience, where Philips lists bean to cup and espresso.
- Drinkers who want drip next to espresso, since GASTROBACK lists espresso, drip and grinder.
- Shoppers looking for a brand listed across drip as well as espresso and grinder, since Daewoo Electricals lists drip, espresso and grinder.

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.
Solis
What does a Solis espresso machine cost at the entry point?+
Entry pricing of €302.95 is the figure most buyers see first, with the top of the range at €492.95. Both are purchase prices rather than subscriptions, so the budget is set once at the point of sale and stays predictable.
Does the Solis range keep the grinder in the machine?+
The grinder is built in, so beans are ground inside the machine and the setup stays a single box on the counter. Milk on the flagship comes through a steam wand system, and the tank on the top model holds 2.6 litres.
