Pros and cons
KRUPS
Pros
- One brand covers bean to cup, espresso and pod, so a grinder, a pod machine and a drip brewer can be matched without changing maker.
- The grinder is built into the bean-to-cup machines, which removes the need to pair a separate grinder.
- A spare parts shop is part of the setup, so replacement parts come from the maker rather than a third party.
Cons
- €277.99 for the entry bean-to-cup machine is above the coffee machine median of €139.44, so the cheapest KRUPS is not a budget buy.
- Espresso brewing is listed at 15 bar, under the coffee machine median of 19 bar.
- The range is published for AT, so buyers elsewhere shop through cross-border sellers and arrange their own support.
Lavazza
Pros
- Covers espresso, pod and bean to cup formats under one roof, so pods, beans and ground coffee stay in the same basket.
- Entry price of £89 sits below the site median of €96.46, which keeps the first purchase cheap.
- A grinder is built in on the range, and the flagship pairs that with an auto-frother over a 2.4-litre tank.
Cons
- The flagship price of £849.95 puts Lavazza at position 49 on that measure, mid-field rather than cheap.
- Support runs on phone, email and help centre, and a live chat line is not among them.
- The flagship machine draws 1,650 W, so it needs a dedicated socket and counts up electricity use.
Who each suits
KRUPS
Who it suits
- Households that want a grinder, espresso, pod and drip range from one maker, since bean to cup, espresso and pod covers all of it.
- Buyers in AT who want a 2 years warranty and a spare parts shop handled by the same company.
- Anyone content with an auto frother for milk drinks and a built-in grinder in the automatic range.
Who should look elsewhere
- Budget buyers, because €277.99 is above the coffee machine median of €139.44.
- Shoppers who want a short list rather than a full spread of types, since Philips covers only bean to cup and espresso.
- Buyers who want more pod choice than nespresso original capsules, or an espresso-led setup, which GASTROBACK covers with espresso, drip and grinder.
Lavazza
Who it suits
- Households switching from an old pod machine who want beans, pods and ground coffee under one brand.
- First-time buyers starting at the £89 end and stepping up to a grinder-equipped model later.
- Office and shared kitchens that need a machine with a grinder built in and an auto-frother.
Who should look elsewhere
- Shoppers who want a chat-based support line, since support runs on phone, email and help centre.
- Anyone who will only buy open bags of beans, because pods run on the nespresso original system.
- Buyers on a tight ceiling, since the flagship sits at £849.95.

Questions about each
KRUPS
How much does a KRUPS coffee machine cost?+
The entry bean-to-cup machine is €277.99 and the flagship is €899.99, the Intuition Experience Hot&Cold. Both are single hardware prices rather than a subscription, so the entry figure is the whole outlay at purchase. Buyers aiming at the middle of the range have to judge the gap between the two published prices themselves.
Which KRUPS models are worth comparing?+
The reference models are the Intuition Experience Hot&Cold, the Sensation Milk and the Evidence Plus, spread across bean to cup, espresso and pod. The Hot&Cold is the flagship with an auto frother, the Sensation Milk sits in the middle of the range, and the Evidence Plus anchors the entry end. All three are sold in Austria.
Lavazza
What does the cheapest Lavazza machine cost?+
The entry machine is £89, which sits below the site median entry price of €96.46. That is a one-off price for the machine itself, with no renewal fee attached to ownership. Buyers who want a wider spread of drinks should look further up the same range.
What is the most expensive machine in the range?+
The SMEG Manual Espresso Machine tops out at £849.95. It carries a built-in grinder and an auto-frother, so the higher price buys both bean grinding and milk texturing in one body. On flagship price Lavazza ranks at 49 of 63.
