What are the differences between coffee machines?

To make your purchase decision easier, we would first like to briefly introduce you to the most important machine types. This will help you make the right decision for you:

• The filter coffee machine is the classic office machine in which a disposable filter and coffee powder are inserted at the top and black coffee usually runs into a pot at the bottom.

• With the espresso machine or portafilter machine, the coffee powder is screwed onto the machine with a sieve. Hot water is then pressed through the sieve and the coffee powder

• With capsule machines, plastic capsules with different flavours are inserted into the machine. They usually work automatically. The best-known brand here is Nespresso. For all those for whom sustainability is important: there are also reusable capsules that can be used several times.

• With a fully automatic coffee machine, whole coffee beans are placed in the machine and ground by the machine. These large machines can be used to produce a range of different coffee drinks.

We have summarised the advantages and disadvantages of the different machine types for you here:

What is the difference between a used and a refurbished coffee machine?

Refurbished means that the used coffee machine has been checked, professionally cleaned and, if necessary, repaired by a refurbisher before being sold.

As a rule of thumb, you can say that you pay the most for new appliances, less for refurbished products and offers from private individuals usually cost the least.

So is it worth finding a private supplier to get the best deal on a coffee machine?

Buying through a private dealer can be worthwhile in terms of price, but you often have to search longer and write to different sellers. There is also a higher risk, as the machine has probably not been checked beforehand and, in the worst case, the seller may not respond to problems.

Our refurbished coffee machines have been put through their paces before being sold. In addition to the statutory 12-month guarantee, you also receive 30-days to change your mind, hassle free! Buying from Back Market means playing it safe!

Save money now with a refurbished coffee machine!

Black Friday 2023 is just around the corner and many coffee machine suppliers are already advertising limited-time offers, big discounts and one-off purchase opportunities. We have been criticising this sales madness for years. In addition to the psychological pressure exerted on customers, Black Friday is a real climate killer. This is not only due to the resources used for all the new devices, but also the increased CO₂ emissions caused by the many shipments and returns.

At Back Market, Black Friday is therefore a day like any other. Our refurbished devices are cheap all year round!

A little tip: If you buy a Starbucks coffee for £3 every day, you'll spend £1,095 a year. You could already afford the luxury fully automatic coffee machine like the Quick Mill Alexia Evo, and spend the rest of the money on a year's supply of coffee! 🙃
