Coffee Machines

Coffee Machines at Night Owl

A short, practical line-up: espresso makers from Sonifer (SF-3575) and DSP (KA3157), the Hisun 4 in 1 capsule machine (NCM001) that accepts more than one capsule format, and the DSP grinders KA3130 and KA3156 for anyone buying beans rather than powder.

How to choose

Capsule machines win on repeatability and washing-up: drop in a pod, rinse the tray, and the cup is the same every morning. An espresso maker asks more of you — grind size, dose, how firmly the basket is packed — and pays that back with a shot you can actually adjust. If you are buying beans, treat the grinder as part of the machine, and remember a blade grinder mills dry spice just as happily, so keep a second one for chilli unless you want masala in your coffee.

• Capsule brewing for a fixed, repeatable cup
• Espresso makers for a short, strong coffee at home
• Blade grinders that take coffee beans or dry spice
• Grind fresh: ground coffee flattens out within a week of opening
