Now, the question is, which brand makes the superior machine? To help you decide, we’ll compare De’Longhi and Breville, from price to performance. So, if you’re wondering whether to buy a De’Longhi coffee machine or if you want to know if Breville makers are the best money can buy, keep reading.

In terms of price, De’Longhi generally offers a more budget-friendly range of coffee makers with prices depending on the category. Their machines range from more affordable models under $200 to premium automatic espresso machines costing $1,700-$2,500.

On the other hand, Breville caters to the mid to high-end market. Their at-home espresso machines start at $300 for the Breville Bambino, up to $2,800 for the Oracle Touch. A majority of their machines sit around the $600-$800 mark.

In terms of design and features, Breville machines are sleek, modern, and feature stainless steel finishes. They offer wide-ranging features and customization options. De’Longhi machines, in comparison, tend to offer a more classic Italian design and are generally more compact.
