Used-puck disposal received one strong positive note: one reviewer said pucks knocked out cleanly after well-extracted shots.

Pros: Overall user experience, Design, ergonomics and footprint

Cons: Value and Price, Design flaws

Pros: Overall user experience, Water system, maintenance and descaling

Cons: Value and Price, Grinder, hopper and dosing system

#3 De'Longhi Rivelia Automatic Espresso Machine
3.4

Used-puck disposal is convenient when the receptacle is removed normally, but one reviewer criticized a falling part that can make a mess.

Pros: Milk, steam and frothing, Grinder, hopper and dosing system

Cons: Design flaws, Iced / cold-brew function quality

Cons: Grinder, hopper and dosing system, Iced / cold-brew function quality

Cons: Accessories, Design flaws
