Black Friday 2026: the super-automatic espresso machines worth watching
A super-automatic espresso machine is something you'll use for years. During Black Friday, start by comparing the milk system and how easy the machine is to clean. Day to day, those matter more than the number of drinks on the menu.

Frequently asked questions
A carafe or automatic milk system makes cappuccinos and latte macchiatos at the touch of a button. A steam wand takes a little practice but is easy to clean. If you mostly drink espresso, the milk system hardly matters.
It's rarely essential: it's mainly for saving your favourite drinks or keeping track of maintenance. The machines in this selection are easy to adjust right on the machine.
Rinse the milk system after each use, empty the grounds container and descale as often as your water hardness requires. A tube-free milk system, such as Philips LatteGo, comes apart and washes faster.
