What to Look For
Bean-to-cup machines give the freshest taste; pod machines win on speed and simplicity.
Check water hardness in your area — it determines descaling frequency and whether you need a built-in filter.

Every 2–3 months in hard water areas, every 4–6 months in soft water areas. Most modern machines have a descaling indicator light.
