The Best Coffee Machines For Home
There's no one-size-fits-all coffee maker. We've compiled our top picks, from an automatic that grinds your beans and packs them to semiautomatics that give you the best control over your espresso.
The Breville Oracle Touch strikes the perfect balance between automatizing the process and requiring you to be proficient in the art of espresso-making. This is our top choice for a coffee-to-cup machine.
1. Rocket Appartamento
Rocket Appartamento is a top pick for those who want to make espresso at home without making big sacrifices in terms of quality. This small-footprint espresso machine was designed for those who have limited counter space. It is built to last and has excellent quality and a small footprint. It comes with a 1.8 milliliter copper heat exchange boiler and commercial E61 Group Heads so that you can steam your milk and brew coffee at the same simultaneously.
The machine looks fantastic and has a round design on the side panel with the steam engraved and hot water spouts. This is a modernization of Rocket's classic design, which is already impressive for a compact appliance. It also has a black pressure gauge that will let you know when the boiler is ready to use.
One downside to this small machine is that the drip tray and the water reservoir are smaller than most other machines. This means that you'll have to be vigilant about emptying and refilling the machine, particularly when you are using it regularly. This is a cost that is a result of having smaller footprint. This isn't something that is unique to this model.
This machine is able to handle your coffee demands. We recommend buying a good grinder, like the Baratza Sette Giante, to increase consistency and flavor. You can also pair this machine with a Rocket portafilter to enhance the grinding process.
Rocket Appartamento, as a prosumer machine, can make some great drinks and it is easy to create latte arts. It's important to know that this machine is not designed for beginners. There is a small learning curve for those upgrading from appliances-grade espresso machines. The heat exchange boiler could be a bit difficult to control and you'll need to learn the ins and outs of cooling flushes.
Both the Lelit Bianca as well as the Rocket Appartamento have the option to connect to a water source, allowing you to always be capable of drinking cold pure, purified water. The latter has a smaller 2.25-liter tank that can be more difficult to refill.
2. Lavazza A Modo Mio Jolie
This machine is built to Lavazza's top standards. The machine is able to reach the brewing temperature quickly, which means you can make your first cup in just 35 seconds. The water tank can be filled easily, as the lid can be removed to create a large hole. You can fill it with tap water depending on what you prefer.
The Lavazza A Modo Mio is the smallest of the series, yet it packs a punch. It's priced at less than PS100 at retail and is much less expensive than the Nespresso Essenza or similar machines from SMEG or Desea. The Jolie is a great alternative for those who don't have the space or funds for a traditional espresso machine however, they still want to experience a real Italian espresso.
The Jolie is extremely easy to operate and takes up very little counter space. Pressing a single button will begin the process. After pressing it again, it will begin dispensing the pod you have selected. The button has a backlight so that you can see how much you have consumed. You can also stop the process, in case you wish to drink the pod in smaller portions.
This model doesn't come with a steam wand but you can add some creamy froth to your milk using an optional milk frother. The machine is also quiet and can be used to make coffee in a small kitchen working space.
The pods are not expensive, but they are available in a range of blends that can be used by anyone from the mildest espresso drinker to the most demanding. You can find them in many supermarkets, as well as regular coffee beans and grounds coffee. You can also buy Lavazza A Modo Mio Compatible pods on the internet.
The Jolie and Milk is a smart-looking capsule machine with an integrated milk warmer and frother. It includes a 75cm plug and power cable, a warranty card, a quick guide, and a test pack of nine Lavazza pods. Six are roasted (two Qualita Rossa and two Lungo Dolce) and two are decaffeinated. The machine is small enough to be kept on an even surface or placed under the cabinet.
3. Breville BES870XL
At first glance at first, the Breville Barista Express looks like an espresso maker that's not within the budget of most average consumers. But if you're willing to put in the work to master its use this is a great espresso maker for your home that performs better than many of the more expensive models on the market. It's a good value for the money and is particularly helpful for those who are new to the field and don't own an espresso machine that costs up to $100.
This model is priced less than the most expensive Breville Oracle (the most expensive at $2199), but is still an excellent choice for baristas who are on a budget. It comes with a variety of options to customize and features, including an integrated burr mill, which makes it more affordable. It's also a single boiler, which means it can only do steaming or brewing at the same time.
Breville, a relative newcomer on the market for espresso machines, has quickly established a reputation for high-quality appliances. This machine is no exception and it comes with enough control to let aspiring baristas improve their skills without spending hundreds more than necessary.
It's not without its quirks, though. The hopper is situated on the side, not on the top, of this model. It's not a big problem, but it could be a problem if you wish to disperse multiple shots at once. It's also difficult to determine how much water remains in the tank, due to its rear placement.
If you're willing time learning to use the Breville Barista Express then it's an excellent choice for anyone who loves espresso at home. The only issue with the Breville Barista Express is its price, which may be a stumbling block for certain buyers. For those looking for a less expensive option, check out our review of the Gaggia Classic or the La Pavoni Impresso. Both are equally powerful and offer a bit more control than the Barista Express, but they'll cost you less than the Breville model does.

A high-tech smart machine for coffee with a user-friendly interface that produces excellent coffee maker price. The sleek stainless steel design with backlit LED screens creates a chic kitchen appearance. It features one dial to set the number of cups you would like it to make and includes the 2-4 cup setting and a 5-9 cup setting.

In our tests we found that the OXO Brew 9 Cup produced an excellent cup of drip coffee that filled an entire carafe in just 7 minutes and 41 seconds. This is a bit more than the 6 minutes the Bonavita Connoisseur or the Moccamaster calls for, but it is within the range that cheap coffee machine experts recommend to make a great cup.
You should also grind your own beans prior to making. You can choose an manual grinder or an automated model such as the Baratza Encore. It has multiple grind settings, and a hopper for whole beans.
