Pros and cons
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.
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
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.
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
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.
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.
