Our verdict on each
Hibrew.com

Saeco

Pros and cons
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.
Saeco
Pros
- A built-in grinder and an auto-frother mean the bean to cup and espresso range handles whole beans and milk drinks in a single body.
- Warranty cover of 2 years is paired with a spare parts shop, so worn grinders, carafes and frother parts can be ordered rather than pushing a whole new machine.
- The spread from the GranAroma to the Xelsis Suprema in Xelsis Suprema, Xelsis Deluxe, GranAroma Deluxe, GranAroma lets a buyer start low and move up without changing maker.
Cons
- Support runs on help centre only, so phone and email help are not part of the service mix.
- bean to cup and espresso leaves out the drip and grinder options listed in drip, espresso and grinder and espresso, drip and grinder.
- The grinder built in is listed at range level rather than guaranteed on each Xelsis Suprema, Xelsis Deluxe, GranAroma Deluxe, GranAroma machine, so buyers comparing a GranAroma with a Xelsis Suprema have to check the specification.
Who each suits
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.
Saeco
Who it suits
- Households in Belgium, CZ and DE who want bean-to-cup and espresso machines from a single maker.
- Buyers who plan to keep a machine for years and value a spare parts shop alongside 2 years of cover.
- Anyone starting at the GranAroma end of Xelsis Suprema, Xelsis Deluxe, GranAroma Deluxe, GranAroma and moving up to the Xelsis Suprema later.
Who should look elsewhere
- Shoppers after drip or stand-alone grinders: drip, espresso and grinder and espresso, drip and grinder both cover those, and bean to cup and espresso does not.
- Anyone who wants phone or email answers, because support runs on help centre only.
- Readers who prefer to cross-shop Philips first, since Philips reference models such as the LatteGo and Baristina sit in a different line to Xelsis Suprema, Xelsis Deluxe, GranAroma Deluxe, GranAroma.

Questions about each
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.
Saeco
Does Saeco make espresso machines as well as bean-to-cup ones?+
Saeco covers both, with bean to cup and espresso spanning bean-to-cup and espresso. Reference models include the Xelsis Suprema and Xelsis Deluxe for the larger end, plus the GranAroma Deluxe and GranAroma lower down. The grinder built in is what distinguishes the bean-to-cup bodies from the espresso-only ones.
Is the grinder built in, or do I need a separate grinder?+
A grinder is built in as part of the range, so beans are ground in the machine rather than through a separate grinder on the counter. It is not a given on every Xelsis Suprema, Xelsis Deluxe, GranAroma Deluxe, GranAroma model, though, so a buyer weighing a GranAroma against a Xelsis Suprema should read the specification for the machine in question.
