We test super-automatic espresso machines the way they deserve — 30 days of daily use, real extraction measurements, full maintenance cycles. No brand relationships influence our findings.
Every machine runs as our daily driver for 30+ days. We pull hundreds of shots, measure TDS with a refractometer, and log every variable that affects the cup.
Extraction quality, milk texturing accuracy, grind consistency, cleaning friction — we track it all. Data first, impressions second.
Our scores are never influenced by affiliate relationships. If a machine underperforms at its price point, we say so — with the numbers behind it.
Everything you need to understand super-automatic machines — how they work, what separates a $700 machine from a $1,500 one, which features actually matter, and what our testing revealed.
