The Best Coffee Machines For Home

There is no single-size-fits all coffee maker. We've compiled our top choices, ranging from a superautomatic that grinds your beans and packs them to a semiautomatic which gives you the best control over your espresso.

The Breville Oracle Touch strikes the perfect balance between automatizing the process while making you knowledgeable about the art of making espresso. It's the most efficient bean-to-cup machine we've found.

1. Rocket Appartamento

Rocket Appartamento makes a great choice for those looking to make espresso at their home without having to compromise on quality. This small-footprint espresso machine was created for those who have small counter space. It combines excellent build quality and a small footprint. It is equipped with a 1.8 liter copper heat-exchange boiler and commercial E61 Group Head so you can steam your milk and brew coffee at the same time.

The machine also looks great and has a round insert on the side panel with engravings of steam and hot water spouts. This is a modernization of Rocket's classic design, which is already impressive for a compact appliance. It also includes the black pressure gauge, which indicates when the boiler is ready for use.

One drawback of this compact machine is that the drip tray and water reservoir are smaller than those of other machines coffee. You will need be extra cautious when emptying and re-filling the machine. This is especially true when you are using it often. This is a cost that is a result of having a smaller footprint. It's not a problem specific to this model.

This machine is able to handle your coffee needs. That being said, we would recommend investing in a quality grinder, such as the Baratza Sette Giante, for greater consistency and flavor. You can also use this machine in conjunction with an Rocket portafilter to improve the process of tamping.

Rocket Appartamento, as a prosumer machine, can make some great drinks and it is easy to make latte arts. It's important to note that the machine isn't made for novices, and there is a bit of a learning curve for those upgrading from appliance-grade machines. The heat exchanger can be difficult to operate and you'll need to master the art of cooling flushes.

Both the Lelit Bianca as well as the Rocket Appartamento have the option to connect to an water source, which allows you to be able to drink cold, filter-filtered water. The latter, however, comes with a 2.25-liter water tank, which can be more difficult to refill than its competitors.

2. Lavazza A Modo Mio Jolie

As you would expect from the Lavazza machine this one has been made with quality in mind. It is quick to reach brewing temperature, allowing you to make your first cup of coffee in less than 35 minutes. The water tank is fast and easy to refill and the lid can be removed completely to make a wide opening. You can fill it with tap water, depending on what you prefer.

The Lavazza A Modo Mio is the smallest of the models, but it packs a punch. At full price, it costs under PS100 which is lower than the Nespresso Essenza and similar machines from SMEG and Desea. The Jolie is a great alternative for those who don't have the space or funds for a traditional espresso machine, but nevertheless want to drink the authentic Italian espresso.

The Jolie is simple to use and requires small counter space. It's as easy as pressing a single button to activate the machine, and then press it again to begin dispensing your chosen brew. There's a backlight on the button, so you can easily see the amount of liquid that has been dispersed and you can choose to manually stop the process in case you prefer drinking the pod in smaller amounts.

There's no steam wand on this model, but you can make use of an optional milk frother (available separately) to add some creamy froth if you like. The machine is very quiet as well, and can be used in a small space or in a kitchen with flatshare without disturbing anyone else.

They aren't inexpensive, but there's a variety of blends to suit everyone from the mildest to the most demanding espresso drinkers. They are sold in most supermarkets along with regular ground coffee and coffee beans and you can also buy Lavazza A Modo Mio compatible pods online.

The Jolie and milk is a sleek capsule machine that has an integrated milk warmer. It comes in a box with a 75cm power cable and plug along with a quick-guide as well as a warranty sheet and a tester box that contains nine Lavazza pods which include six roasts (two Qualita Rossa, two Lungo Dolce and two Delizioso) and two decaffeinated (Dek Cremoso). The machine is small enough to be able to be stowed on the floor or placed under the cupboard.

3. Breville BES870XL

At first glance at first, the Breville Barista Express looks like an espresso maker that's beyond the budget of most average consumers. If you're willing put in the work to learn how to use it, this is an excellent espresso maker for your home that performs better than many of the more expensive models on the market. It's a great value for its class and is particularly useful for beginners who don't yet have an espresso maker that can cost up to $100.

The model is just in the middle of the line for Breville (their Oracle is the most expensive model at $2,199) however, it's an excellent choice for home baristas on a tight budget. It has a lot of options to customize and features, including an integrated burr mill to make it more affordable. It's also a single boiler, which means that it can only do brewing or steaming at one time.

Despite being a relative newcomer to the market for espresso machines, Breville has quickly made a name for themselves with their high-quality appliances. This machine is no different, and it offers just enough adjustable control to allow aspiring baristas to burnish their abilities without spending more than they should.

The unit does not come without its flaws. For one, the hopper in this model is located on the side of the unit, instead of being on top. This isn't really a huge deal, but it can be a little difficult to dispense multiple shots at once. It's also difficult to see how much water is left in the tank because of its rear position.

If you're willing to invest some time to learn how to make use of the Breville Barista Express then it's an excellent appliance for any espresso lover at home. The only issue is the cost, which can be a deterrent for some buyers. If you're looking for a budget option, we recommend the Gaggia Classic and the La Pavoni Impresso. Both are equally powerful and offer a little more control than the Barista Express, but they'll cost only a fraction of the price. Breville model can do.

4. OXO Brew 9-Cup

A high-tech smart coffee maker that produces great coffee with a simple interface. Its sleek stainless steel design and backlit LED screen give an elegant look to your kitchen. It has one dial that allows you to program the amount of cups. There are two options: 2-4 cups and 5-9 cups.

In our testing in our testing, the OXO Brew 9-Cup made excellent drip Philips Senseo Coffee Pod Maker with Frother with a full-carafe in just 7 minutes and 41 seconds. It's slightly longer than the 6 minutes or less that the Bonavita Connoisseur and the Moccamaster require but well within the range of time that experts in the field recommend for a great cup of drip.

You must also grind your beans before brewing. You can make use of a manual coffee grinder or go for a more automated model such as the Baratza Encore, which has various grind settings as well as a hopper that holds whole beans.

The only downside to this product is that it's not dishwasher safe. This could be a concern for some users. The stainless steel can be cleaned by hand. The OXO 9-Cup is an excellent contender for the best drip coffee maker due to its sleek design and easy-to use interface.
