Nivona CafeRomatica 550 or Nivona CafeRomatica 799?

What actually differs between the Nivona CafeRomatica 550 and the Nivona CafeRomatica 799, and what that means for who you are.

What differs

  • The CafeRomatica 550 is €415.00 cheaper.
  • Both are the same kind of machine, a bean-to-cup, so they work the same way.
  • Both have a built-in grinder, so you do not need to buy one.
  • Milk: the CafeRomatica 550 does it with a steam wand you control yourself; the CafeRomatica 799 with a tube into a carton or container.
  • Cleaning the CafeRomatica 550's milk system: after every use, a short burst of steam or water and a wipe with a damp cloth.
  • Cleaning the CafeRomatica 799's milk system: after milk drinks a rinse of the frother, before switching off at the latest; a clean with milk cleaner when the machine asks, and taken apart regularly.
