How we score
Every machine is scored 0–99 against your answers. Here's what drives the result.
Drink fit
Does the machine make what you drink? Lattes require a milk system — espresso-style brewers get partial credit only.
Milk system
If you want lattes, milk handling is scored in 3 tiers: integrated one-touch (+25), auto-frother (+18), manual steam wand (+5 but −30 penalty for minimal-effort users). No milk system: −12 to −35 depending on how central lattes are to your selection.
Effort match
How hands-on is the machine vs. how hands-on you want to be? Large gaps are penalised sharply.
Maintenance
Your tolerance vs. the machine's actual cleaning needs. Gaps are penalised proportionally.
Annual cost
Machine price divided by lifespan, plus maintenance and daily coffee spend — scored relative to the best option in your category.
Temperature
If hot coffee matters, machines brewing above 93°C score higher. Pod machines typically brew cooler.
Budget tier
At budgets over $1,000, manual brewers are penalised unless you chose hands-on effort.
Priorities
Your top 3 priorities add weighted bonus points. Your first choice carries the most weight.
