Guide to the table

Price is based on a January 2011 price survey.

The DeLonghi models were tested with Nespresso coffee capsules as they can't use ground coffee. All other machines were tested with supermarket coffee beans.

(a) = tested with the froth enhancer removed because this method gave a better result.
