I owned a Segafredo coffee machine for 15 years and a lightning storm knocked it out. I was devastated (I love my morning coffee, ritual). Since I couldn’t find a replacement in the United States at the time, I ended up buying a DeLonghi coffee machine ($750). It was not even close in comparison to the Segafredo machine in terms of coffee, texture and flavor.
So, I purchased a $1600 Meraki espresso machine, hoping to mimic what I had with my Segafredo machine in terms of coffee, quality. Not even close!
Finally, I found that I could buy this Segafredo capsule machine and jumped at the chance. I’ve since returned my Meraki machine for a refund because nothing compares to the texture, smoothness and flavor that comes out of the Segafredo machine. It’s the best coffee you can get from an at-home coffee/espresso machine, and the value is incredible at $225. You just pop in a capsule press a button and you have consistent, great taste, and coffee every morning. No handle to clean, no coffee grounds to press and no large footprint needed on your countertop. If I could give it 10 stars I would. If you’re on the fence, don’t hesitate. This machine makes the best coffee in. It is as simple as it gets.
