Our verdict on each
Lavazza
Lavazza suits households that want one coffee name to cover several formats, from a cheap pod machine to a grinder-equipped espresso flagship. It scores 9.3 overall, and the range opens at £89 for anyone buying a first machine.
Philips
Philips suits buyers who want a machine that grinds beans and froths milk, with the grinder built in and a 2 year warranty behind it. The trade-off is breadth of range and support, since the listed types cover bean-to-cup and espresso only, with support on help centre.

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.
Philips
Pros
- Grinder built in, so beans go in and coffee comes out of the same machine with no separate grinder on the counter
- A spare parts shop is listed and 96.2% of ranked brands run one, so consumables stay easy to reorder
- Warranty runs 2 years, so a daily driver is covered well past its first year
Cons
- Support is limited to a help centre, so anyone hoping for a phone line or a direct email will not find one listed.
- The spread from a £99.99 entry point to a £799.99 flagship price is wide, and the top figure belongs to the premium end of the range rather than to an everyday machine.
- Drip and pod formats are not among its bean to cup and espresso, so buyers who brew a pot at a time or use capsules have no listed Philips machine.
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.
Philips
Who it suits
- Buyers who want beans ground and brewed in the same machine, since the grinder is built in
- Households that drink lattes and cappuccinos daily and would rather not work a steam wand, given the auto-frother
- Owners planning to keep a machine for years, with a spare parts shop listed and warranty running 2 years
Who should look elsewhere
- Anyone after drip or standalone grinders, since GASTROBACK and Daewoo Electricals list espresso, drip and grinder and drip, espresso and grinder
- Pod buyers, since Arno lists espresso, bean to cup and pod while Philips lists bean to cup and espresso
- Buyers who want phone or email support, since Philips support runs on help centre

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.
Philips
How much is a Philips coffee machine?+
The entry price is £99.99 and the top of the range is listed at £799.99. Both are purchase prices rather than ongoing fees, so the whole cost sits up front instead of being spread across a contract. Buyers replacing a filter machine can plan around the entry figure, while the top price belongs to the flagship models and the premium floor care units sold under the same name.
What types of coffee machine does Philips make?+
The listed types are bean to cup and espresso, covering bean-to-cup and espresso. Bean-to-cup grinds and brews from whole beans, while espresso covers the manual style. The range is anchored on LatteGo, Baristina and Cafe Aromis name lines, so there is a specific model to look up rather than a vague series name.
