Best Coffee Espresso Machines

You turn an knob, push one button, and voila! A delicious cup of coffee is in your hands. It's not going to win any beauty contests, but it makes a delicious cup of espresso. Our testers found that the flavor was more like coffee than other machines.

It also requires more effort to operate than some other models we've reviewed. However, it's well worth the effort for the hands-off java lover.

1. Nespresso Vertuo Plus

The Nespresso Vertuo Plus is the most efficient Nespresso machine to buy If you're a coffee enthusiast looking for efficiency and consistency. The Vertuo Plus has a minimalist design that will blend in with your kitchen decor and is simple to use. Insert a capsule and press the brew button to enjoy your beverage. The machine recognizes the capsule's barcode and automatically adjusts the brewing parameters to ensure optimal extraction. This is an important selling point for Nespresso Vertuo, as you do not have to worry about adjusting temperatures or pressures for every type. However, it does restrict your options to Nespresso pods only and does not come with a built-in milk frother.

The Vertuo Plus uses Nespresso Centrifusion to create a rich and smooth crema. The machine spins up to 7000rpm to get all the aromas and flavors from each capsule. It also heats and dispensates water at the same time, allowing you to make American drip espresso or coffee.

The Vertuo plus is less expensive than Creatista Pro. This makes it an excellent upgrade for those who are looking to enhance their Nespresso experience. The Vertuo Plus comes with smaller water tanks of 40 ounces, as opposed to the deluxe model’s 60 ounces. If you plan to make large drinks or serve guests the model with a higher tier may be better for you.

2. Barista Express Impress

Breville's Barista Express Impress is an striking machine that is adorned with a high-end design and practical features. Its sophisticated dosing and assisted tamping help beginners make the process easier by automating certain parts of it, making it easier for anyone to make an espresso that is good. It's also able to make small adjustments to the temperature of water which baristas who have experience will appreciate, as just a few degrees can affect the flavor of the coffee.

The machine features a high-end, conical burr grinder that offers 25 grind settings to accommodate any type of coffee. It also comes with a stainless steel milk jug as well a one- and two-cup single and double-wall filter baskets, so you can choose how many shots you'll be making at a time. The frother arm can be used to create micro-foam for cappuccinos and lattes.

The interface of the espresso machine is easy to use and clearly explains every step. We also appreciated that it doesn't have lots of plastic parts and is extremely sturdy. It's not cheap but it's an extremely well-made machine that has many features that will last many years. It comes with a great warranty that covers mechanical problems up to a year from the date of purchase. This is pretty impressive for a machine of this cost. It's definitely worth the cost in case you're looking to test your hand at making espresso on a regular basis.

3. Gaggia Classic

Gaggia's Classic was first introduced in 1991 and quickly developed a following of cult status due to its simple design and - of course – its ability to create a delicious espresso. It's back and better than ever in the new Classic Pro. The Classic Pro may not be as advanced as some entry-level machines but it's still able to offer a cafe-quality espresso because of the professional portafilter and group. As it is a single boiler machine you won't be able to make a steam and brew simultaneously. You will need to wait a few minutes before you can pull shots.

With a sleek industrial design that looks chic and feels solid in your hands the Classic Pro features simple switches for brewing/steam and On/Off with special indicator lights that make it easy to work with. The frame and switches of the Classic Pro are more durable, giving it an excellent feel.

In terms of accessories the Classic Pro doesn't come with much, except for the commercial-standard portafilter 58 millimeter and the plastic tamper are a nice addition. A 3-way solenoid valve is also a nice addition which prevents water pressure fluctuations and helps with getting rid of coffee pucks that are sloppy - something that cheaper machines struggle with. Gaggia also added a steam wand which does fantastic job of frothing milk used in latte arts.
