The Best Coffee Machines For Home

There is no one-size-fits-all coffee machine. We've rounded up our top picks for your home, from a fully automated that grinds and packs your beans, to semi-automatics that give you the best control over your espresso.

The Breville Oracle Touch strikes the perfect balance between automating the process and making you proficient in the art of making espresso. It's our top choice for a coffee-to-cup machine.

1. Rocket Appartamento

Rocket Appartamento is a top option for those looking to make espresso at home without having to make huge sacrifices in terms quality. This espresso machine with a small footprint was created for those who have limited counter space. It combines excellent build quality and a compact footprint. It comes with a 1.8 liter copper heat-exchange boiler and commercial E61 Group Head, so you can steam your milk and brew coffee at same at the same time.

The machine looks fantastic and has a circular panel on the side with the steam engraved and hot water spouts. This is an update to Rocket's traditional design which is already impressive for a small appliance. It also comes with the black gauge of pressure in the boiler to show when the boiler is ready to use.

One drawback of this compact machine is that the drip tray and reservoir for water are smaller than the majority of machines. You'll need be cautious when emptying and refilling the machine. This is particularly true when you are using it often. This is a normal trade-off for having a smaller footprint, though, and not an issue that is unique to this model.

You can still brew a lot of coffee with this machine, and it will easily keep up with the demands of your customers. That being said, we would suggest purchasing a high-quality grinder, such as the Baratza Sette Gigante to ensure consistency and better flavor. You can also pair this machine with a Rocket portafilter to enhance the grinding process.

Rocket Appartamento, as a prosumer machine, can make delicious drinks and it is easy to create latte arts. However, it's worth noting that the machine was not designed for novices and there's a bit of a learning curve for those who are upgrading from appliance-grade machines. The heat exchanger is difficult to work with, and you'll need to learn how to do 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 always be in a position to drink cold and purified water. The latter, however, comes with a 2.25-liter water tank that can be more difficult to refill than some of its competitors.

2. Lavazza A Modo Mio Jolie

This machine is built to Lavazza's high standards. The machine can reach the brewing temperature quickly, so you can make your first cup in less than 35 seconds. The water tank can be easily refilled with ease, since the lid can be removed to make a large hole. You can also fill it up with tap water if that's what you prefer.

This is the smallest machine of the Lavazza A Modo Mio range, but it still packs a punch. At full price, it costs under PS100 - which is less than the Nespresso Essenza and similar machines from SMEG and Desea. This makes the Jolie an ideal choice for those without the budget or space to buy a traditional espresso maker, but who want to get their fix of authentic Italian espresso.

The Jolie is simple to use and requires little counter space. By pressing a single button, you can start the machine. When you press it again, it will start dispensing the specific pod you've chosen. There's a backlight that's on the button to ensure that 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 your drink in smaller portions.

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

The pods are not inexpensive, but they come in a range of blends that will suit anyone from the mildest espresso drinker to the most demanding. They are readily available in many supermarkets, along with regular ground coffee and coffee beans and you can also purchase Lavazza A Modo Mio compatible pods online.

The Jolie and Milk is a smart-looking capsule machine that has an integrated milk warmer and frother. It includes a 75cm plug and power cable, a warranty sheet, 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 able to be stowed on an even surface or placed under your cabinet.

3. Breville BES870XL

The Breville Barista Express appears to be an expensive espresso machine. But if you're willing to put in the work to learn how to use it, this is an excellent do-it-all home espresso maker that is more efficient than some of the more expensive models on the market. It's a good value for its class and is particularly helpful for those who aren't experienced enough to have an espresso maker, which can cost up to $100.

This model is priced below the top-of-the-line Breville Oracle (the most expensive at $2199), but is still a good choice for baristas who are on a budget. It's loaded with options to customize and features, including an integrated burr mill to make it more affordable. It's also a single boiler that means it can only do steaming or brewing at one time.

Breville, relatively new to the market for espresso machines, has rapidly gained a reputation as a top-quality appliances. This machine isn't an exception and has enough adjustable control to let baristas who are aspiring develop their skills without spending more than they should.

The unit has its quirks. For one, the hopper in this model is located on the side of the unit instead of being on top. This isn't really an issue, but it can be difficult to give multiple shots at once. The rear-facing position of the tank makes it difficult to know how much liquid remains.

If you're willing to invest some time in learning how to use the Breville Barista Express then it's an excellent option for anyone who loves espresso at home. The only issue is the price, which can be a deterrent for certain buyers. If you're looking for an affordable option, 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, smart coffee maker that produces great coffee with a simple interface. The sleek stainless steel design with backlit LED screens gives your kitchen a sophisticated look. It comes with one dial that allows you to program the number of cups. There are two options: 2-4 cups and 5-9 cups. The brewing process is similar to pour-over, which most coffee enthusiasts believe makes the most flavorful coffee. The water is heated up to the ideal temperature, and then evenly poured over the coffee grounds using shower heads. The coffee that is brewed is collected in the double-walled thermal carafe, which can be stored for up to 60 min. The pause-and pour feature lets you remove the carafe while making your coffee and filling it with the right amount. The machine pauses the brewing process and shows a red light for the carafe on its LED interface until you return it. after which it resumes brewing and is finished.

The OXO Brew 9-Cup coffee machines latte maker is certified by SCAA, which means it complies with the rigorous standards of SCAA's technology. Its brew time is approximately as long as those of the Bodum BISTRO and the Technivorm Moccamaster KBT 741, however, it has greater control over temperature, brewing duration and also quality.

In our tests in our testing, the OXO Brew 9-Cup brewed an excellent drip coffee and a full-carafe in just 7 minutes and 41 seconds. It's slightly longer than the 6 minutes or less the Bonavita Connoisseur and the Moccamaster require, but it falls within the range of time that coffee experts recommend for a good 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 like the Baratza Encore, which has different grind settings and an hopper that can hold whole beans.
