Tchibo Cafissimo Easy

Overview

The Tchibo Cafissimo Easy is a budget capsule machine from German coffee giant Tchibo, using the proprietary Cafissimo capsule system. Three dedicated buttons provide espresso, caffè crema, and filter coffee sizes — each optimized with different pressure and water volume settings. The Cafissimo system distinguishes itself through Tchibo's retail distribution model, with capsules available at over 900 Tchibo retail stores across Germany and Austria, plus major supermarkets. Monthly rotating specialty editions keep the capsule selection fresh and seasonal. The 15-bar pump provides adequate pressure for the espresso capsules, producing acceptable crema for casual consumption. The 650ml reservoir keeps the form factor compact while supporting approximately seven drinks between refills. Under 30-second heat-up time suits grab-and-go morning routines. The Cafissimo Easy's primary appeal is its extremely low purchase price combined with competitively priced capsules through Tchibo's vertically integrated retail channel. For German consumers already shopping at Tchibo for clothing and household goods, the Cafissimo ecosystem offers convenient, integrated coffee purchasing.

It features a thermoblock boiler system made of plastic. The vibratory pump delivers 15.0 bars of pressure for optimal extraction. It uses a Cafissimo capsule group head.

Priced at $69, the Tchibo Cafissimo Easy is designed for budget-conscious beginners and casual coffee drinkers. As a pod/capsule machine, it prioritizes convenience and consistency, delivering quality espresso with minimal effort.

In terms of build quality, the Tchibo Cafissimo Easy is a substantial machine, weighing in at 2.6 kg, manufactured in Germany, drawing 1250W of power. With dimensions of 120 x 330 x 270 mm (W×D×H), make sure you have adequate counter space. The built-in water reservoir holds 650 ml, making it easy to set up anywhere in your kitchen.
