Frequently Asked Questions

1. Which coffee maker should you choose for a family of 3-4 people?

For a family of 3-4 people, you should consider models in the 5-15 million segment such as Delonghi EC685.M or Delonghi EC685.B. These models have suitable capacity (1300-1500W), integrated milk frother, and can make 2-3 cups in a row. In particular, they are durable and have low maintenance costs, suitable for daily family use.

2. Why is the price of a professional coffee maker so different from that of a home machine?

The significant price difference between a professional machine and a home machine comes from many core factors. Professional machines are equipped with advanced technology such as dual boilers, PID systems, high-quality stainless steel housings, and are capable of continuous operation for long periods of time. In addition, the lifespan of a professional machine can be up to 15-20 years, 3-4 times longer than a normal household machine.

3. Should you buy a used coffee machine?

Buying a used machine can save 30-50% of the cost compared to buying a new machine, but you need to consider carefully. It is recommended to only buy from reputable dealers with a clear warranty policy and to carefully check the condition of the machine before buying. It is especially important to confirm the number of hours the machine has been in operation and the condition of the main parts.

4. How much does it cost to maintain a coffee machine annually?

The cost of maintaining a coffee machine usually ranges from 5-10% of the machine’s value each year. Specifically, a household machine will cost about 300-700 thousand VND/year, a machine for a shop from 1-2 million/year, and a professional machine from 3-5 million/year. Regular maintenance not only helps prolong the life of the machine but also ensures stable coffee quality.

5. When should you buy a coffee maker during the year?

The ideal time to buy a coffee maker is usually at the end of the year (November-December) with Black Friday and Christmas discounts, or at the beginning of the year with Tet promotions. In addition, mid-year inventory clearance periods (June-July) are also a good opportunity to hunt for cheap machines. However, the most important thing is to buy from an authorized dealer to ensure genuine warranty.
