What to choose: grain device or capsule?
Many experts recommend purchasing a grain machine, rather than a capsule coffee machine. There are several reasons for this choice.
Firstly, there is more free space in the selection of coffee, as well as the resulting drinks, a much better taste and higher performance. Secondly, using such a Philips coffee machine will cost several times cheaper than a capsule one. At first it may seem that this is not so. After all, the second option costs a lot less. But then, due to the constant acquisition of branded capsules in calculating the costs, a huge amount is obtained. However, there is still one advantage that even the most “smart” grain machine can’t interrupt - ease of operation.
