If you have high requirements for coffee making, like hands-on operation and have sufficient budget, then a semi-automatic coffee machine may be more suitable for you. Semi-automatic coffee machine needs you to grind the coffee beans yourself, adjust the thickness of the ground beans, fill the powder cake, control the extraction time, etc., which can make you better understand the coffee making process and have the opportunity to create unique coffee that suits your taste.
if you want to make coffee conveniently and quickly, and your budget is limited, then a fully automatic coffee machine may be more suitable for you. Automatic coffee machine is usually operated with one button, which can quickly make coffee with stable quality. At the same time, the automatic coffee machine usually has a bean bin or a powder bin, so you can make it directly from coffee beans or coffee powder without grinding it yourself.
Of course, if you want to have a certain degree of freedom in coffee making without being too complicated, you can also consider some fully automatic coffee machines with semi-automatic functions. These coffee machines usually have preset grinding and extraction programs, but they also provide some custom options so that you can adjust them according to your personal taste.
