All fully automatic espresso machines on this page need a lot of maintenance. A large part of the maintenance is cleaning the brew group. You need to take it out of the machine weekly and rinse it under the faucet. For some brands, you also need to grease the brew group. The machines don't guide you or guide you less well while going through the steps. Don't want to clean as much? We recommend a fully automatic espresso machine with average or little maintenance.
