The Best Coffee Machines For Home

There is no one-size-fits-all coffee machine. We've compiled our top picks, starting with an automatic that grinds your beans and packs them to a semiautomatic which gives you the most control over your espresso.

The Breville Oracle Touch strikes the perfect balance between automation and the need to know the ropes of espresso-making. It's the best bean-to cup machine we've come across.

1. Rocket Appartamento

Rocket Appartamento makes a great choice for those looking to make espresso at home without losing quality. This espresso machine with a small footprint was created for those with little counter space. It has a great build quality and a compact 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 simultaneously.

The machine is also beautiful and has a round design on the side panel with engraved steam and hot water spouts. This is a fresh update on the classic look of Rocket and is already impressive for a compact machine. It also has a black boiler pressure gauge to show when the boiler is ready for use.

One drawback of this compact machine is that the drip tray and reservoir for water are smaller than the majority of machines. This means that you will be more cautious about emptying and refilling the machine, especially when using it frequently. This is a cost that comes with having smaller footprint. This isn't an issue that is specific to this model.

This machine can easily handle your coffee needs. That being said, we would recommend investing in a quality grinder, such as the Baratza Sette Gigante for increased consistency and flavor. You can also use the machine in conjunction with an Rocket Portafilter to increase tamping.

Rocket Appartamento, as a prosumer machine, makes excellent drinks and is easy to create Latte arts. It's important to know that this machine was not intended for novices. There is a slight learning curve for those upgrading from espresso machines that are appliance-grade. The heat exchange boiler could be a bit tricky to operate, and you will have to learn the ins and outs of cooling flushes.

Both the Lelit Bianca and the Rocket Appartamento allow connecting to a water supply which allows you to always have cold, fresh water that has been filtered for your drinks. The latter comes with a 2.25-liter water tank that could be more difficult to refill than its competitors.

2. Lavazza A Modo Mio Jolie

The water tank is fast and easy to refill, with the lid detaching completely to create a large opening. You can even fill it up with tap water if you prefer.

This is the smallest machine of the Lavazza A Modo Mio range, but it still has a lot of punch. It's priced at less than PS100 at retail - that's less than the Nespresso Essenza or similar machines from SMEG or Desea. The Jolie is a great option for those who do not have the space or funds for an espresso machine of the traditional type however still want to enjoy a real Italian espresso.

The Jolie is simple to use and requires little counter space. It's as easy as pressing a single button to activate the machine, then again to start dispensing your chosen pod. The button is illuminated so that you can see the amount you've consumed. You can also manually stop the process should you prefer to consume the pod in smaller quantities.

There's no steam wand on this model, however you can make use of an optional milk frother (available separately) to add some creamy froth if you like. The machine is also quite quiet and can be used to make coffee in a small kitchen working space.

Pods aren't expensive, but there's a variety of blends available to suit everyone from the mildest to the most demanding espresso drinkers. They are readily available in many supermarkets alongside 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 cord and plug as well as a quick-guide and warranty card, as well as a test box containing nine Lavazza pods which include six roasts (two Qualita Rossa, two Lungo Dolce and two Delizioso) and two decaffeinated (Dek Cremoso). The machine itself is small enough to be stored on a flat surface or slipped under your cabinet.

3. Breville BES870XL

At first glance at first glance, the Breville Barista Express looks like an espresso machine that is out of the budget of most average consumers. If you're willing and able to master it this is a great at-home espresso maker. It's far superior to most of the more expensive models. It's a good value for its class and is especially useful for beginners who don't yet own an espresso machine, which can cost up to $100.

The model is priced lower than the top-of-the-line Breville Oracle (the most expensive at $2199) However, it's an excellent option for baristas on a budget. It comes with plenty of adjustable features, and it even has a built-in burr grinder to make the entire experience more affordable. It's also a single boiler that means it can only do brewing or steaming at one time.

Breville, a relative newcomer on the market for espresso machines, has quickly established a reputation for high-quality appliances. This machine is no different and it comes with enough control to let budding baristas develop their skills without spending hundreds more than necessary.

It's not without its quirks however. The hopper is located on the side, not at the top of the model. It's not a big issue, but it can be a hassle if you need to disperse multiple shots at once. It's also not very easy to know how much water is left in the tank because of its rear position.

If you're willing some time to learn how to make use of the Breville Barista Express then it's an excellent option for anyone who loves espresso at home. The only downside to the Breville Barista Express is its price, which may be a deterrent for some buyers. If you're looking for a low-cost alternative, we recommend the Gaggia Classic and the La Pavoni Impresso. Both machines have similar capabilities and offer a bit more control than the Barista Express. However, they are a fraction of the cost.

4. OXO Brew 9 Cup

A high-tech, intelligent coffee maker that produces great coffee using a simple interface. Its sleek stainless steel design and backlit LED screen give an elegant design to your kitchen. It comes with one dial that lets you to set the amount of cups. There are two settings: 5-9 cups and 2-4 cups. Its brewing technique is similar to pour-over brewing, which coffee machine office aficionados believe produces the most flavorful coffee. The water is heated up to the ideal temperature, and then evenly distributed over the coffee grounds using shower heads. The coffee is then brewed inside the double-walled thermal carafe for up to 60 minutes. The pause-and pour feature lets you to take the carafe out while brewing and fill your cup. The machine pauses the brewing process and shows the red light on its LED interface until you return the carafe. Then, it resumes the brewing process.

The OXO Brew 9-Cup is an SCAA-certified coffee machines home maker which means it meets the rigorous standards of SCAA's technology. The brew cycles it uses are the same as the Bodum Bistro and the Technivorm Moccamaster 741 but it allows for more control over temperature and brewing times.

In our tests, the OXO Brew 9 Cup produced an excellent pot of drip coffee that filled the carafe filled in 7 minutes 41 seconds. This is a little more than the 6 minutes that the Bonavita Connoisseur or the Moccamaster requires, but within the range that experts in the field recommend for making a quality cup.

It also requires that you grind your own beans prior to making coffee. You can select an manual grinder or a more automated model like the Baratza Encore. It has various grind settings, as well as an hopper for beans that are whole.

The only issue is that the carafe as well as the water reservoirs aren't dishwasher safe this could be a hassle for some users. The stainless steel can be cleaned by hand. The OXO Brew 9-Cup's sleek style and user-friendly interface make it a top contender among the best drip coffee makers.
