There's no one-size-fits-all coffee machine. We've compiled our top picks, from a superautomatic that grinds your beans and packs them into semiautomatics that give you the most control over your espresso.
The Breville Oracle Touch is the perfect blend between automation and needing to understand the basics of espresso-making. It's our top pick for a machine that makes coffee.
1. Rocket Appartamento
Rocket Appartamento makes a great choice for those looking to make espresso at home without losing quality. This small-footprint espresso machine was designed for those who have little counter space. It has a great build quality with a compact footprint. It is equipped with a 1.8 liter copper heat-exchange boiler and commercial E61 Group Heads so that you can steam your milk and brew your coffee at the same time.
The machine is also beautiful and has a round design on the side panel with the steam engraved and hot water spouts. This is a new take on the classic design of Rocket that is already impressive for a compact machine. It also includes the black gauge of pressure in the boiler to show when the boiler is ready to use.
The water reservoir and drip tray are smaller on this model than other models. You will need be cautious when emptying and re-filling the machine. This is particularly true when you are using it often. This is a normal trade-off for a smaller footprint, though, and not an issue specific to this model.
You can still brew plenty of coffee using this machine, and it is able to easily keep up with the demands. That being said, we would suggest investing in a good grinder, such as the Baratza Sette Gigante, for greater consistency and flavor. You can also use the machine in conjunction with a Rocket Portafilter to improve the tamping.
As a prosumer espresso machine The Rocket Appartamento is capable of making some great drinks, and is easy to create the latte art. It is important to remember that this machine is not intended for novices. There is a small learning curve for those upgrading from appliance-grade espresso machines. The heat exchanger can be tricky to handle and you'll need to learn how to do cooling flushes.
Both the Lelit Bianca and the Rocket Appartamento provide the option of connecting to a water supply which means you'll always have fresh, cold filtered water on hand for your drinks. The latter has a 2.25-liter water tank that could be more difficult to refill than its competitors.
2. Lavazza A Modo Mio Jolie
This machine is built to Lavazza's high standards. It is quick to reach the brewing temperature, allowing you to prepare your first cup of coffee in less than 35 seconds. The tank can be filled easily, as the lid can be removed to create an enormous hole. It can be filled using tap water, should you wish.
The Lavazza A Modo Mio is the smallest model in the series, yet it packs a punch. It costs less than PS100 at retail which is less than the Nespresso Essenza or similar machines from SMEG or Desea. This makes the Jolie a great option for those without the budget or space for a traditional espresso maker, but want to get their fix of authentic Italian espresso.
The Jolie is easy to use and occupies very small counter space. You only need to press one button to start the machine, and then press it again to begin dispensing your chosen pod. The button has a backlight so that you can see the amount you've consumed. You can also stop the process should you prefer to consume the pod in smaller portions.
There's no steam wand included 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 also quite quiet and can be used to make coffee in a small kitchen or working space.
The pods are not cheap, but they come in a range of blends that will suit everyone - from the mildest espresso drinker to the most demanding. They are available in the majority of supermarkets, along with regular grounds coffee and coffee beans. You can also buy Lavazza A Modo Mio Compatible pods on the internet.
The Jolie and Milk is a stylish capsule machine that has an integrated milk warmer and frother. It comes with a 75cm power cable and plug along with a quick-guide as well as a warranty card, as well as a test box that contains nine Lavazza pods: six roasted (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 an even surface or placed under the cabinet.
3. Breville BES870XL
The Breville Barista Express appears to be an expensive espresso machine. If you're willing to take the time to master its use this is a fantastic espresso maker for home use that performs better than many of the more expensive models on the market. It's among the best priced in its class, and is particularly suitable for beginners who don't have an espresso grinder yet. This could easily cost them another $100 or more.
The model is priced lower than the top-of-the-line Breville Oracle (the most expensive at $2199), but is still an excellent option for baristas on a tight budget. It's loaded with customizable features and even an integrated burr mill, which makes it more affordable. It's also a single boiler machine, which means that it can only do steaming or brewing at one time.
Breville, relatively new to the market for espresso machines, has rapidly established a reputation for high-quality appliances. This machine is no different, and it has just enough control to let aspiring baristas improve their abilities without spending more than is necessary.
The unit does not come without its quirks. The hopper is situated on the side, not the top of the model. It's not a big deal, but can be frustrating if you want to give several shots at once. The rear position of the tank makes it difficult to know the amount of liquid left.
But if you're prepared to invest some time learning how to master the Breville Barista Express, it's a great, do-it-all appliance for anyone who is a coffee lover at home. The only drawback to the Breville Barista Express is its cost which could be a stumbling block for some buyers. For those looking for a less expensive alternative, take a look at our review of the Gaggia Classic or the La Pavoni Impresso. Both machines have similar capabilities and offer a bit more control than the Barista Express. However, they cost a fraction of the price.
4. OXO Brew 9-Cup
A high-tech smart machine for coffee with a user-friendly interface that produces great coffee. Its sleek stainless steel design and backlit LED screen give an elegant appearance to your kitchen. It has one dial that allows you to set the amount of cups. There are two options: 5-9 cups and 2-4 cups. The brewing method is similar to pour-over, which most coffee enthusiasts believe is the best tasting coffee. The water is heated up to the ideal temperature, and then evenly distributed over the coffee grounds with shower heads. The coffee is then brewed inside the double-walled thermal carafe, which can last up to 60 minutes. The pause and pour function allows you to remove the carafe in brewing and fill your individual cup. The machine stops the brewing process and displays the red light on its LED interface, until you return the carafe. It then resumes brewing.
The OXO Brew 9-Cup coffee maker is an SCAA-certified coffee maker that means it is in compliance with the rigorous standards of SCAA's technology. Its brew cycles are about the same as the Bodum Bistro and the Technivorm Moccamaster 741 but it gives you more control over temperature and brewing times.
In our tests we found that the OXO Brew 9 Cup produced an excellent pot of drip coffee with a carafe full in just 7 minutes 41 seconds. This is slightly more than the time that the Bonavita Connoisseur or the Moccamaster requires, but still within the time range that experts in the field recommend to make a great cup.
You should also grind your beans before brewing. You can make use of an old-fashioned coffee grinder or opt for a more automatic model, such as the Baratza Encore, which has different grind settings and an hopper that can hold whole beans.
The only drawback is that the carafe as well as the water reservoirs aren't dishwasher safe, which could be a hassle for certain users. The stainless steel is easily cleaned by hand, however. The OXO Brew 9-Cup's sleek style and user-friendly interface make it a top contender among the top drip coffee makers.
