How to choose
Automatic or moka brewing
The De'Longhi is a fully automatic machine that grinds, doses, brews and froths with one touch, while the IMUSA, LAOION and Vaolvpant are electric moka pots. Moka pots fill with water and ground coffee, sit on a detachable base, and brew when you press the switch. Choose automatic brewing for recipes and milk drinks, and a moka pot for a simpler cup.
Capacity in cups and millilitres
Cup counts differ in size across these makers, so check millilitres as well as cups. The De'Longhi hoppers hold 8.8 oz each, the IMUSA brews 1.5 oz per cup, the LAOION brews 6 cups at 300 ml, and the Vaolvpant covers 3 to 6 cups at 150 to 270 ml. Match the capacity to how many cups you brew at once.
Frothing, grinders and shut-off
Only the De'Longhi has a built-in grinder and a milk frother, with temperature control and 18 recipes. The LAOION has auto shut-off when the pot leaves the base or reaches boiling point. The Vaolvpant lid glass shows dispensing, so you can cut power in time. Compare these features before choosing.
