5 Polaris PCM 1532E
Country: Russia (assembled in China)
Average price: 7 300 rub.
Rating (2022): 4.0
More recently, a Russian-Chinese development of a carob-type coffee machine, Polaris PCM 1532E, appeared on the market. Its main recognizable features are the original colors (1532E - beige and 1531E - burgundy), as well as a small retro-style thermometer located on the front of the device. With it, users in real time get a general idea of the temperature indicators of water heating, but you should not hope for accuracy up to a degree. But the device looks very impressive, albeit in a plastic case, but much more expensive than its price.
Structurally, Polaris PCM 1532E is an aluminum boiler with a power of 1100 W, an Ulka pump, also installed in Delonghi coffee makers, and a silumin horn with two 52 mm filters for 1 or 2 servings of coffee. You have to get used to the cappuccinatore, but with the advent of the cream skill, it does what it needs.In fairness, it must be said that the model has many more affordable understudies - the same Oursson EM1505 costs a thousand cheaper. Nevertheless, Polaris wins due to a longer warranty period - it is ready to service its device under a 2-year warranty.
4 Vitek VT-1513
Country: Russia (produced in China)
Average price: 7 530 rub.
Rating (2022): 4.2
Rozhkovy coffee makers are simple devices. Even such eminent brands as "Saeko" and "DeLong" transfer their production to China, without fear of deterioration in quality. The Russian brand "Vitek" also released a good inexpensive model VT-1513, which has been regularly serving its owners for more than one year. The classic design is complemented by a manual cappuccinatore and provides for the simultaneous preparation of two cups. A huge plus is the presence of a cream valve, which gives a beautiful foam on the surface of the espresso coffee.
There are no special complaints about any congenital design defects in numerous reviews. All elements work as they should. The main unit - the pump - pressurizes up to the indicated 15 bar and ensures maximum extraction of the coffee mass. The self-contained water tank holds 1.25L, eliminating the need to refill for every cup. But what not everyone likes is the preset temperature of the thermostat - 110 °. True coffee lovers know that too hot espresso sins with a flat taste. However, most Russians like this kind of scalding drink.

Average price: RUB 19,050
Rating (2022): 4.4
At a discount, this model can be purchased for 17–18 thousand rubles. - it is impossible to find a cheaper automatic coffee machine with a cappuccinatore. The set of functions belongs to the initial class, but more than sufficient for bean coffee lovers: a built-in coffee grinder with adjustable grinding degree, a manual “panarello” cappuccinatore, which many people like even more than an automatic one, the Aroma Plus program, which allows you to increase the strength of espresso to a decent level at home coffee shops and an additional programmable button for making espresso lungo.
The taste of the prepared drinks in the reviews is called excellent, the milk foam is easily whipped to the desired volume, and the whole process of brewing and caring for the machine pleases with simplicity. The model does not work with ground grains, lacks a screen, temperature and water hardness settings, and formally has only 2 strength settings.However, given the price and the ability to make coffee, the taste of which is highly appreciated by hundreds of users, this is a great device worthy of a position in our ranking.
3 Melitta Caffeo Varianza CSP
Country: Germany (produced in Portugal)
Average price: RUB 60,530
Rating (2022): 4.5
The Melitta company, the brainchild of a simple German housewife who accidentally built a coffee filter out of a metal cup and notebook blotting paper, has long celebrated its 100th anniversary. It is the only manufacturer that has created professional coffee machines that follow the original recipe for beverages made from coffee beans. A striking example is Melitta Caffeo Varianza CSP, which prepares cappuccino, latte and macchiato by pouring whipped milk into coffee, and americano by diluting espresso with hot water. 99% of the machines of other companies do not know how.
Another unique feature of the milk vending machine is the My Bean Select technology. With its help, the user can at any time brew coffee from a variety different from the one already filled in the hopper. The main feature of the function is a clear distinction between varieties and the absence of the risk of mixing them, but only true gourmets can appreciate its value. What did not allow the model to take a higher position? Just a couple of non-critical, but annoying moments for its price: the lack of active cup heating and a weaker service network than Saeko and Delonghi.
