The Best Coffee Machines For Home

There's no universally-fit-all coffee machine. We've put together our top choices, ranging from an automatic that grinds your beans and packs them to semi-automatic machines that give you the best control over your espresso.

The Breville Oracle Touch strikes the perfect balance between automating the process and needing you to be knowledgeable about the art of making espresso. It's the best bean-to cup machine we've found.

1. Rocket Appartamento

Rocket Appartamento makes a great choice for those looking to make espresso at their home without losing quality. This small-footprint espresso machine was specifically designed for people who have small counter space. It is built to last and has excellent quality with a compact footprint. It is equipped with a 1.8-liter copper heat exchange boiler as well as a commercial E61 group heads so that you can steam milk and make espresso at the same time.

The machine looks stunning too, and comes with a round side panel insert with engravings of steam and hot water spouts. This is an update to Rocket's traditional design which coffee machines are best is already impressive for a compact appliance. It also has an black pressure gauge that shows when the boiler is ready for use.

The water reservoir and drip tray are smaller on this machine than most others. This means that you'll have to be vigilant about emptying and refilling the machine, particularly when you use it often. This is a trade-off that comes with having smaller footprint. This is not something that is unique to this model.

You can still make a large amount of coffee with this machine, and it is able to easily keep up with your demands. We suggest buying a good grinder, like the Baratza Sette Giante to increase consistency and flavor. You can also use this machine in conjunction with a Rocket portafilter to enhance the process of tamping.

Rocket Appartamento, as a prosumer machine, makes some great drinks and it is simple to make Latte arts. It's important to note that the machine was not designed for beginners and has a bit of a learning curve for those upgrading from appliances. 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 able to drink cold pure, purified water. The latter has smaller 2.25-liter tank that can be harder to refill.

2. Lavazza A Modo Mio Jolie

As you would expect from a Lavazza machine this one has been made with quality in mind. It is quick to reach brewing temperature, allowing you to prepare your first cup of coffee in less than 35 minutes. The water tank is able to be filled, as the lid can be removed to make a large hole. You can fill it up with tap water should you wish.

This is the smallest machine of the Lavazza A Modo Mio range however, it still has a lot of punch. It's priced at less than PS100 at the full price - that's less than the Nespresso Essenza or similar machines coffee from SMEG or Desea. The Jolie is a great choice for those who don't have the space or money for traditional espresso machines however, they still want to enjoy the authentic Italian espresso.

The Jolie is easy to use and takes up little counter space. By pressing a single button, you can activate the machine. When you press it again, it will start dispense the pod you have selected. There's a backlight on the button, so you can clearly see the amount of dispensed, and you can stop the process at any time in case you prefer drinking the pod in smaller amounts.

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

Pods aren't expensive, but there's a variety of blends to satisfy everyone from mildest to the most demanding espresso drinkers. You can find them in most supermarkets, along with regular grounds coffee and coffee beans. You can also buy Lavazza A Modo Mio Compatible pods online.

The Jolie and milk is a sleek capsule machine that comes with an integrated milk warmer. It comes with a 75cm plug and power cable, a warranty sheet, a quick guide, and a test pack of nine Lavazza pods. Six are roasts (two Qualita Rossa and two Lungo Dolce) and two are decaffeinated. The machine is compact enough to fit under a cupboard or on flat surfaces.

3. Breville BES870XL

The Breville Barista Express appears to be an expensive espresso machine. If you're willing to master it this is a great home espresso maker. It's far superior to many of the more expensive models. It's an excellent value for its class and is particularly helpful for beginners who don't yet have an espresso machine that can cost up to $100.

The model is priced lower than the most expensive Breville Oracle (the most expensive at $2199) However, it's an excellent option for baristas who are on a tight budget. It delivers plenty of tweakable features, and it even has a built-in burr grinder, making the entire experience less expensive. It's also a single boiler machine that means it can only be used for steaming or brewing at one time.

Although it is a relatively newcomer to the market of espresso machines, Breville has quickly made their mark by offering top-quality equipment. This machine is no different and has enough control that it can be adjusted to allow aspiring baristas to develop their abilities without spending hundreds of dollars more than they need to.

It's not without its quirks, though. The hopper is located on the side, not the top of the model. It's not a huge problem, but it could be frustrating if you want to disperse multiple shots at once. It's also difficult to know how much water remains in the tank, because of its position at the rear.

If you're willing some time in learning how to use the Breville Barista Express then it's an excellent option for any coffee lover at home. The only downside is the price, which could be a deterrent for certain buyers. If you're looking for a low-cost alternative, we suggest the Gaggia Classic and the La Pavoni Impresso. Both are equally capable and provide a bit more control than the Barista Express, but they'll cost you less than the Breville model can do.

4. OXO Brew 9 Cup

A high-tech smart coffee machine with a user-friendly interface that produces excellent coffee. The sleek stainless steel design and backlit LED screen provides your kitchen with a stylish appearance. It has one dial that lets you to program the amount of cups. There are two settings available: 2-4 cups and 5-9 cups. Its brewing technique is similar to pour-over brewing, which coffee enthusiasts believe makes the most flavorful coffee. The water is heated to the perfect temperature and poured over the grounds using a showerhead to ensure uniform saturation. The cheapest coffee machines brewed is then stored in the double-walled, thermal carafe for upto 60 minutes. The pause and pour feature allows you to remove the carafe during brewing to fill your cup to the brim. The machine pauses brewing and shows a red light for the carafe on its LED interface until you return it. then it resumes and completes brewing.

The OXO Brew 9-Cup coffee maker is an SCAA-certified coffee maker which means it complies with the rigorous standards of SCAA's technology. Its brew cycle is about as long as those of the Bodum BISTRO and the Technivorm Moccamaster KBT 741, but it provides more control over temperature, brewing duration and quality.

In our tests we found that the OXO Brew 9 Cup produced an excellent pot of drip coffee, with an entire carafe in just 7 minutes 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 coffee experts suggest for a decent cup of drip.

You must also grind your own beans prior to making. You can select either a manual grinder or an automated model such as the Baratza Encore. It has multiple grind settings, and a hopper for whole beans.

The only issue is that the carafe and the water reservoir aren't dishwasher safe and could cause problem for some users. The stainless steel can be cleaned by hand. The OXO Brew 9-Cup's sleek aesthetic and user-friendly interface make it one of the top contenders among top drip coffee makers.
