Who these options suit

Hands-off fresh-pasta cooks

You want the machine to mix and extrude the dough rather than roll it by hand, and you want an included shaping option explicitly named tagliatelle.

Ribbon-pasta traditionalists

You prefer to prepare dough, roll it into sheets and cut ribbons. Check the supplied cutter name if the distinction between tagliatelle, fettuccine and tagliolini matters to you.

Shared-kitchen organisers

You need to clean equipment as its manual directs, clear the worktop and put everything away without leaving flour or raw-ingredient residue for other kitchen users.

What matters when choosing

Fully automatic extruder

Choose when: You want mixing and shaping in one appliance and an included disc named tagliatelle, as Philips Home UK lists for the HR2665/93.

Allow for: A dedicated machine and its parts need worktop, cleaning and storage space.

Motorised roller

Choose when: You prefer rolled sheets and want powered feeding without clamping the Marcato Atlasmotor+ to the worktop.

Check first: Marcato names fettuccine and tagliolini for this model, and says its machines must not be washed under running water or in a dishwasher.

Stand-mixer attachment

Choose when: You have a compatible stand mixer available for shared use and want to roll and cut pasta with an attachment.

Check first: KitchenAid’s 5KSM3MPA needs a compatible mixer and lists a fettuccine cutter, not a cutter named tagliatelle.

Concern What to check Who this matters to
Automation and batch size Check which steps the machine automates and its stated portion capacity. Philips Home UK specifies fully automated operation and up to eight portions for the HR2665/93. If my time at the shared worktop is limited, I want less manual dough work and enough pasta for the meal. Around 45% of consumers put automation and batch convenience first.
Ribbon shape and dough control Check the exact included disc or cutter name and, for rolled pasta, the available sheet-thickness settings; do not assume differently named ribbons are interchangeable. When a particular ribbon shape matters to my recipe, I want to know what the supplied parts actually make. Roughly 33% of consumers put ribbon-shape control first.
Cleaning and storage Check the manual’s cleaning method, which parts can go in a dishwasher and where the cleaned, dry machine and accessories will be stored. Sharing the sink and worktop means I need to clear away promptly without leaving raw ingredients or dirty tools behind. Around 22% of consumers put shared-space cleaning and storage first.

Buying pitfalls

  • Assuming any pasta maker includes a tagliatelle shape

    Philips Home UK names a tagliatelle disc for the HR2665/93, while the cited Marcato and KitchenAid models name fettuccine or tagliolini cutters. A generic flat-pasta description does not settle which ribbon you will get.

    Compare the exact supplied disc or cutter with the shape you want, including any stated dimensions, before choosing a machine.

  • Assuming the whole machine can go in the dishwasher

    Philips Home UK describes parts of the HR2665/93 as dishwasher-safe. Marcato, by contrast, says its pasta machines must not be washed under running water or in a dishwasher.

    Check the instructions for each component against the sink, dishwasher and drying space you can use.

    A roller that needs brushing and drying may take longer to put away after a shared meal.

  • Buying an attachment without its power source

    KitchenAid’s 5KSM3MPA is powered by a compatible stand mixer; the attachment is not a standalone electric pasta maker.

    Confirm the mixer model, whether you may use it in the shared kitchen and where both pieces will be stored.

  • Leaving dough residue for the next kitchen user

    Raw ingredients can remain on worktops, utensils and equipment after pasta-making. GOV.UK’s food-business guidance calls for cleaning and disinfecting areas and equipment after contact with raw food; in a shared home kitchen, promptly clearing food-contact surfaces is a sensible precaution too.

    Plan time to clean the worktop, tools and machine parts according to their instructions, and keep raw-ingredient preparation separate from ready-to-eat food.

Brands to consider for these pasta-making routes

Philips

Philips Home UK lists the 7000 Series HR2665/93 as a fully automatic pasta maker with an included tagliatelle shaping disc.

  • Its stated specifications include capacity for up to eight portions and dishwasher-safe parts.
  • Check the current supplied-disc list and allow space to clean, dry and store the machine and its parts.

Marcato

Marcato’s Atlasmotor+ takes the powered roller route for sheets and cut ribbons.

  • Marcato specifies a Pastadrive motor, clamp-free use on a flat surface and 10 thickness positions.
  • Its cited cutters are named fettuccine and tagliolini; Marcato says its machines must not be washed under running water or in a dishwasher.

KitchenAid

KitchenAid UK lists the 5KSM3MPA as a stand-mixer-powered attachment for rolling and cutting pasta.

  • The attachment combines an eight-thickness roller with fettuccine and spaghetti cutters.
  • It requires a compatible stand mixer, and the cited cutter is named fettuccine rather than tagliatelle.

Kenwood

Kenwood GB lists pasta attachments for its stand-mixer range, including a lasagne, fettuccine and spaghetti set and separate ribbon cutters.

  • The listed attachment options let compatible mixer owners check which rolling and cutting combination suits them.
  • Confirm the host mixer’s compatibility and the exact pieces supplied; an attachment alone is not a complete electric pasta maker.

Common questions

Can I use a fettuccine cutter for tagliatelle?

Do not assume it will produce the ribbon you want. The cited KitchenAid and Marcato listings name fettuccine cutters, while Philips Home UK separately names a tagliatelle disc for the HR2665/93. Check the supplied part’s name and any stated dimensions against your recipe preference.

Which option is simpler to clear away in a shared kitchen?

If you can use a dishwasher, removable dishwasher-safe parts may fit your clean-up routine; Philips Home UK states that the HR2665/93 has such parts. Marcato says its machines cannot be washed under running water or in a dishwasher, so check whether you have time and space to clean and dry a roller as directed.

What should I do after making pasta with raw egg in a shared kitchen?

Clear the work area and clean utensils, equipment and food-contact surfaces promptly, following the machine’s instructions for its parts. Keep raw-ingredient preparation separate from ready-to-eat food; GOV.UK’s cited cleaning guidance addresses food businesses, rather than setting a pasta-maker-specific rule for a private home.

Do food-business cleaning rules apply to a shared home kitchen?

GOV.UK’s cited food-hygiene guidance is directed at food businesses, so it should not be treated as a separate legal rule for private home pasta-making. If you prepare food as a business, check the requirements that apply to that activity; either way, clean shared food-contact areas after handling raw ingredients.
