1. Rocket Appartamento

Rocket Appartamento is a top option for those looking to make espresso at home without having to make significant sacrifices in terms of quality.

One downside to this small machine is that the drip tray and water reservoir are smaller than those of other machines. You will need be cautious when emptying and refilling the machine. This is particularly true in the event that you frequently use it. This is a normal trade-off for having less footprint, however, and not an issue specific to this model.

We suggest buying a good grinder, such as the Baratza Sette Giante, to improve consistency and flavor. You can also pair this machine with an Rocket portafilter to enhance the tamping process.

It's not without its flaws however. The hopper is situated on the side, not at the top, of this model. It's not a major issue, but it can be a hassle if you need to disperse several shots at a time. The rear position of the tank makes it difficult to determine the amount of liquid left.

This is a bit longer than the 6 minutes or less the Bonavita Connoisseur and the Moccamaster require, but still within the range of time that uk coffee machines experts suggest for a decent cup of drip.

It also requires that you grind your own beans prior to making. You can make use of an old-fashioned coffee grinder or opt for a more automatic model like the Baratza Encore, which has different grind settings and the hopper can hold entire beans.
