Can We Help You Find The Right Keurig For You?
I need help finding the best model for my use.
No, thanks. I prefer to browse all models and decide for myself.
We’ve compared two espresso machines by DeLonghi, the EC155 and EC702 as two slightly similar espresso makers from the same brand. But what if you’re on a specific budget and want to compare two machines based on that? Well, like always, we’re here to help! In this post, we will be comparing the DeLonghi EC155 and Saeco Poemia espresso machine, two entry-level espresso machines for someone with a budget under $100.

Is There a Difference Between Them?
According to our research, there’s no notable difference between them. The Saeco Poemia does have a slight better design, with a broader cup warming tray on top and a better, longer steam wand equipped with Pannarello which makes a better and easier froth. Performance wise, they both work the same way.
Both the Saeco Poemia and DeLonghi EC155 are decent entry-level espresso makers for under $100. They’re perfect for someone who’s just beginning to make espresso at home and also make a great gift. If you’re buying an espresso machine mainly for milk based drinks (cappuccino, latte…), we would recommend the Poemia over the DeLonghi EC155 for the better designed milk frother, which should make the task easier for you.

At nearly double the price of the Saeco Poemia, you pretty much get the same features from the DeLonghi ICONA. It does have an overall better look, button operation vs. a dial knob for the Poemia, but you would get the same result when it comes to operation. The steel exterior of the ICONA is probably the reason for its extra price, and it’s available in many colors. As an appliance that sits over the counter and is on display all the time, this could be worth it.

Now when it comes to the Breville Cafe Roma, it’s quite an upgrade compared to the Saeco Poemia, and you can see that at first sight. It features a beautiful industrial inspired design and full stainless steel body, this commercial grade housing makes it very durable to use. The grouphead on the portafilter is also metal, unlike the plastic on the Saeco Poemia, which gives you better extraction, and makes it more durable.
The Breville Cafe Roma is higher in price than the Saeco Poemia, but in this case, you get what you pay for.

The DeLonghi EC155 is one of the best selling espresso makers for its really budget-friendly price, but we can’t say that it’s one of the best espresso machines out there. This model goes head to head with another DeLonghi machine, the EC702. Despite the price difference, these two machines are normally shortlisted by buyers and they usually get confused over which one to buy. In this post, we’ll be comparing these two espresso makers to help you make a better long term decision instead of saving you some cash in the short run.

At first glace, you can see that the DeLonghi EC702 looks better built than the EC155. But that’s not what we’re basing our opinion on. Before we get into the design features, let’s talk about the common features between these machines:

If you’re on a tight budget, you’ll naturally choose the EC155 as your machine as it is half the price of the EC702. However, the EC702’s stainless steel construction alone is worth paying double the price. When you’re making espresso everyday, a lot of heat comes in contact with the body of the machine, this can lead to the plastic body of the EC155 cracking or breaking in some way. This is not a concern when it comes to the EC702.
You might have noticed the DeLonghi BAR32, which might feel similar to the EC155. Is there a difference between the two?
The difference between the two espresso makers isn’t major. Overall, the EC155 has a better design, better shape and space on top that serves as a cup warming tray. As for everything else, they’re pretty much the same.

I prefer to use pre-measured coffee pods and capsules.
I prefer to use coffee ground to make my coffee.
