Build my setup
Four quick choices. One complete setup — machine, grinder and essentials — with every trade-off shown.
What is your total budget?
The whole setup — not just the machine.
What do you actually drink?
Milk volume decides how much the steam system matters.
How much espresso have you made?
This moves the balance between forgiveness and control.
What matters most?
Protect the one thing you would not trade away.
How the recommendation works Published rules, no physical testing
The engine takes your four answers, produces a target split between machine, grinder and accessories, then scores every eligible product against fit ratings derived from its published specifications. It rules out anything that cannot do what you asked and then names the strongest fit, the value alternative and the simplest workflow.
Every weight, threshold and exclusion is published. Nothing here is based on physical testing, and no result is a score we ask you to trust on faith.
