The Best Coffee Machines For Home

There's no one-size-fits-all coffee maker. This is why we've compiled our top picks for your home, from a fully automated that grinds and packs your beans, to a semiautomatic that gives you the most control over your espresso.

The Breville Oracle Touch strikes a perfect balance between automatizing the process and requiring you to be proficient in the art of making espresso. This is our top choice for a bean-to-cup machine.

1. Rocket Appartamento

Rocket Appartamento is a fantastic choice for those who are looking to make espresso at home without having to compromise on quality. This espresso machine for the prosumer is designed with limited counter space in mind and combines outstanding build quality with tiny footprint. It comes equipped with a 1.8-liter copper heat exchange boiler as well as a commercial E61 group head so you can steam milk while making espresso simultaneously.

The machine is also beautiful and has a round design on the side panel with engravings of steam and hot water spouts. This is an update to Rocket's original design which is already impressive for a compact appliance. It also comes with an black pressure gauge that will let you know when the boiler is ready to use.

One drawback of this compact machine is that the drip tray and the water reservoir are smaller than those of other machines. This means you'll have to be vigilant about emptying and refilling the machine, especially when you are using it regularly. This is a natural trade-off for having less footprint, however this is not a problem that is unique to this model.

You can still brew plenty of coffee using this machine, and it can easily meet your demands. We would suggest 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 enhance the tamping.

Rocket Appartamento, as a prosumer machine, makes delicious drinks and it is easy to make latte arts. It is important to remember that this machine is not designed for beginners. There is a little learning curve for those upgrading from espresso machines that are appliance-grade. The heat exchanger can be difficult to work with and you'll have to learn how to perform cooling flushes.

Both the Lelit Bianca as well as the Rocket Appartamento have the option to connect to a water source, allowing you to be able to drink cold, filtered water. The latter, however, has a 2.25-liter water tank, which could be more difficult to fill than its competitors.

2. Lavazza A Modo Mio Jolie

This machine is built to Lavazza's highest standards. It is quick to reach the brewing temperature, which allows you to make your first cup of coffee in just 35 seconds. The water tank is quick and easy to fill and the lid can be removed completely to reveal a large opening. You can fill it up using tap water, should you wish.

The Lavazza A Modo Mio is the smallest model in the range, but it is a powerful machine. It costs less than PS100 at full price - that's less than the Nespresso Essenza or similar machines from SMEG or Desea. This makes the Jolie a great option for those with a limited budget or space to buy a traditional espresso maker, but want to get their fix of real Italian espresso.

The Jolie is simple to use and requires small counter space. You just need to press one button to start the machine, then again to start dispensing your chosen pod. The button has a backlight so that you can see how much you have consumed. You can also manually stop the process should you prefer to consume the pod in smaller quantities.

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 very quiet as well, and can be used in a small space or in a kitchen with flatshare without disturbing others.

The pods aren't cheap, but they come in a range of blends that will suit everyone - from the mildest espresso drinker to the most demanding. They are sold in most supermarkets, along with regular ground coffee and coffee beans and you can also purchase Lavazza A Modo Mio compatible pods on the internet.

The Jolie and Milk is a sleek capsule machine that has an integrated milk warmer and a frother. It comes with a 75cm power plug and power cable, a warranty card and a quick reference, and a tester pack comprising nine Lavazza pods. Six are roasts (two Qualita Rossa and two Lungo Dolce) and two are decaffeinated. The machine is small enough to be kept on an even surface or placed under your cupboard.

3. Breville BES870XL

The Breville Barista Express appears to be a high-priced espresso machine. If you're willing and able learn how to use it and make it work, then this is a great at-home espresso maker. It's far superior to most of the more expensive models. It's the most affordable in its class, and is especially good for novices who don't have an espresso grinder yet. This could easily cost them $100 or more.

The model is just in the middle of the range for Breville (their Oracle is the most expensive model at $2,199) however, it's an excellent option for home baristas who are on a tight budget. It comes with a variety of options to customize and features, including an integrated burr mill to make it more affordable. It's also a one-boiler machine, which means it can only perform one task at a time.

Although it is a relatively newcomer to the market of espresso machines, Breville has quickly made a name for themselves by offering top-quality equipment. This machine is no exception and has enough control to let aspiring baristas improve their abilities without spending a lot more than is necessary.

The unit is not without its flaws. The hopper is on the side, not at the top, of this model. It's not a big deal, but can be frustrating if you want to give several shots at once. It's also not very easy to determine how much water is left in the tank because of its rear position.

If you're willing to invest some time learning how to master the Breville Barista Express, it's an ideal, all-purpose machine for anyone who is a coffee lover at home. The only drawback is the price, which could be a turnoff for certain buyers. For those seeking a cheaper alternative, read our review of the Gaggia Classic or the La Pavoni Impresso. Both are similarly capable and provide a bit more control than the Barista Express, but they'll cost a fraction of what this Breville model does.

4. OXO Brew 9-Cup

A high-tech, intelligent coffee maker that produces great coffee using a simple interface. The sleek stainless steel design and backlit LED screen provides your kitchen with a stylish design. It comes with a single dial to program the number of cups you would like to make. It comes with a 2-4 cup setting as well as a 5-9 cup setting. The brewing method is similar to pour-over the grounds, which many coffee lovers believe produces the best tasting coffee. The water is heated to the Café Olé French Press: Perfect 1-Cup Coffee Maker temperature and then evenly distributed over the coffee grounds with shower heads. The coffee is then brewed inside the double-walled thermal carafe for up to 60 minutes. The pause-and-pour function lets you remove the carafe while brewing and fill your cup. The machine pauses the brewing process and displays a red carafe light on its LED interface until you return it. It after which it resumes brewing and is finished.

The OXO 9-Cup coffee machines best maker comes SCAA certified, which means that it complies with the strict standards for technical quality. The brew cycles are the same as the Bodum Bistro and the Technivorm Moccamaster 741 but it allows for more control over temperature and brewing time.

In our tests we found that the OXO Brew 9-Cup made excellent drip coffee that was served in a full cup in 7 minutes and 41 seconds. This is a bit longer than the 6 minutes or less the Bonavita Connoisseur and the Moccamaster require, but still within the range that experts in the field recommend for a good cup of drip.

It also requires you to grind your own beans prior to making. You can make use of a manual coffee grinder or opt for a more automatic model such as the Baratza Encore, which has various grind settings as well as the hopper can hold entire beans.
