Our verdict on each
OutIn
OutIn is the pick for anyone who wants genuine espresso away from a kitchen counter, and the €127.49 OutIn Nano keeps the outlay low. The trade-off is what you give up: no built in grinder, no milk system, and a 1 year warranty rather than a long one.
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
OutIn
Pros
- The OutIn Mino pulls 22 bar, at the ceiling of the espresso field where the set median is 19 bar.
- Entry cost of €127.49 for the OutIn Nano keeps both machines under the coffee machine entry median of €139.44.
- A spare parts shop is available, which matters once a portable machine starts leaking or losing pump pressure.
Cons
- No built in grinder, so beans have to be ground before every shot, and the Mino pod system of nespresso original narrows what you can use.
- Milk handling on the Mino is none, so lattes need a separate jug or frother.
- A 1 year warranty is thin for a machine bought to last, and buyers wanting a bean to cup route should look at Philips instead.
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
OutIn
Who it suits
- Office and hotel workers who want espresso away from a shared kitchen
- Camper and travel van users weighing a machine that draws only 120 W
- Buyers who value low entry cost over a built in grinder
Who should look elsewhere

- GASTROBACK buyers who want drip and espresso together in a full size kitchen machine
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.

Questions about each
OutIn
How much does the cheapest OutIn machine cost?+
The entry machine is the OutIn Nano at €127.49. That is a purchase price rather than a promotion, so nothing needs renewing later and no subscription follows. The OutIn Mino and OutIn Fino sit in the same OutIn Nano, OutIn Mino, OutIn Fino, OutIn Nano 2 range, with the flagship at €179.99.
What is the pressure on the OutIn Mino?+
The Mino delivers 22 bar, which is genuinely high for a portable machine. For comparison, the median pump pressure across coffee machines is 19 bar and the espresso listing median is 19 bar. That headroom is what pulls a proper shot rather than a thin one.
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.
