Price and rating as shown on Amazon when we collected them. Both change.
The Magnifica S is the highest-volume machine in this ranking by a wide margin: 50,235 ratings at the time of collection, from a machine that has been on sale for years. The listing describes an automatic bean-to-cup espresso machine at 15 bar with an integrated coffee grinder, one touch brew, programmable settings, an auto clean function, a milk frother and a removable water tank, in black and silver plastic.
Bean-to-cup means the grinder is built in and the shot is automatic rather than levered by hand, which is the point of paying for this class of machine. One listing quirk is worth flagging: the compatible pods field names Nespresso Original capsules even though this is a bean machine. At the time of collection it carried those 50,235 ratings at 4.3 stars. Everything here comes from the Amazon listing rather than our own testing.
How those 50,235 ratings break down
