The Best Coffee Machines For Home

There's no universally-fit-all coffee maker. This is why we've compiled our favorite picks for your home, ranging from a super-automatic that grinds and packs your beans, to semi-automatics that give you the most control over your espresso.

The Breville Oracle Touch strikes the perfect balance between automatizing the process and requiring you to be proficient in the art of making espresso. It's the best bean-to-cup machine we've seen.

1. Rocket Appartamento

Rocket Appartamento is a fantastic choice for those looking to make espresso at their home without having to compromise on quality. This espresso machine with a small footprint was specifically designed for people who have limited counter space. It combines excellent build quality with a compact footprint. It comes with an 1.8-liter copper heat exchange boiler as well as a commercial E61 group head, so you can steam milk and make espresso at the same time.

The machine looks fantastic and features a round insert on the side panel with the steam engraved and hot water spouts. This is a modernization of Rocket's traditional design which is already impressive for a compact appliance. It also has a black boiler pressure gauge to indicate when the boiler is ready for use.

The drip tray and the water reservoir tray are smaller on this model than other models. You'll need be extra cautious when emptying and refilling the machine. This is especially true in the event that you frequently use it. This is a sacrifice that comes with having a smaller footprint. It's not something that is unique to this model.

This machine is able to handle your coffee demands. We suggest purchasing a high-quality grinder, like the Baratza Sette Gante, to improve consistency and flavor. You can also use the machine in conjunction with a Rocket Portafilter to enhance the tamping.

As a prosumer espresso machine, the Rocket Appartamento is capable of making some great drinks, and it's easy to make latte art. It's important to note that the machine isn't designed for novices and has a bit of a learning curve for those upgrading from appliance-grade machines. The heat exchanger is tricky to handle 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, purified water. The latter has a smaller 2.25-liter tank that is harder to refill.

2. Lavazza A Modo Mio Jolie

This machine is built to Lavazza's top standards. The machine reaches the temperature of brewing quickly, so you can prepare your first cup in just 35 second. The water tank can be filled easily, as the lid can be removed to make a large hole. You can fill it with tap water, should you wish.

The Lavazza A Modo Mio is the smallest of the series, yet it is a powerful machine. When you buy it at full price, it's priced at PS100 which is less than the Nespresso Essenza and similar machines from SMEG and Desea. The Jolie is a great option for those who don't have the space or funds for an espresso machine of the traditional type however still want to enjoy the authentic Italian espresso.

The Jolie is incredibly simple to use and takes up only a tiny amount of counter space. It's as easy as pressing one button to start the machine and again to start dispensing the chosen pod. There's a backlight that's on the button so that you can easily see the amount of dispensed and you can also manually stop the process if you prefer to drink your drink in smaller portions.

This model doesn't come with a steam wand but you can add some creamy froth to your milk using an optional milk frother. It's also quiet and can be used to make coffee in a small kitchen or work space.

Pods aren't cheap, but there is a wide variety of blends to choose from to satisfy everyone from mildest to the most demanding espresso drinkers. They are sold in most supermarkets alongside regular ground coffee and coffee beans and you can also buy Lavazza A Modo Mio compatible pods on the internet.

The Jolie and milk is a sleek capsule machine that has an integrated milk warmer. It comes with a 75cm power cord and plug, a quick-guide and warranty sheet, and a test box containing nine Lavazza pods: six roasts (two Qualita Rossa, two Lungo Dolce and two Delizioso) and two decaffeinated (Dek Cremoso). The machine itself 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 a costly espresso machine. If you're willing to learn how to use it this is a fantastic home espresso maker. It's more efficient than many of the more expensive models. It's among the best priced in its class, and it's especially suitable for those 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 line for Breville (their Oracle is the most expensive, costing $2,199) however, it's a solid choice for baristas at home who are on a tight budget. It comes with plenty of adjustable features, and comes with a built-in burr grinder that makes the entire experience more affordable. It's also a single boiler, which means it can only be used for brewing or steaming at one 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 different and offers enough adjustability to let aspiring baristas develop their skills without spending more than they have to.

The unit does not come without its flaws. The hopper is located on the side, not at the top, of this model. It's not a huge deal, but can be a hassle if you need to give several shots at once. It's also difficult to know how much water is left in the tank because of its position at the rear.

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 any home espresso lover. The only downside is the price, which could be a nagging issue for some buyers. For those seeking a cheaper option, check out our review of the Gaggia Classic or the La Pavoni Impresso. Both are similarly capable and offer a bit more control than the Barista Express, but they'll cost you a fraction of what this Breville model does.

4. OXO Brew 9 Cup

A high-tech smart coffee machine coffee maker with a simple user interface that produces excellent coffee. Its sleek stainless steel design and backlit LED screen add a sophisticated appearance to your kitchen. It comes with one dial that allows you to program the amount of cups. There are two settings available: 5-9 cups and 2-4 cups. Its brewing technique is similar to pour-over brewing, which coffee aficionados believe produces the best-tasting coffee. The water is heated to a perfect temperature and then poured over grounds with a shower-head for uniform saturation. The brewed coffee then collects in the thermal, double-walled carafe, which can last up to 60 minutes. The pause-and-pour function lets you to take the carafe out while brewing and then fill your cup. The machine stops brewing and displays a red carafe light on its LED interface until you return it, after which it resumes brewing and is finished.

The OXO 9-Cup coffee maker has been SCAA certified, meaning it meets the strict standards for technical quality. The brew cycle is as long as those of the Bodum BISTRO and the Technivorm Moccamaster KBT 741, but it provides greater control over temperature, brewing duration and quality.

In our testing in our testing, the OXO Brew 9-Cup brewed an excellent drip coffee with a full-carafe of coffee in 7 minutes and 41 seconds. That's a little longer than the 6 minutes or less that the Bonavita Connoisseur and the Moccamaster require, but it falls within the range of time that coffee experts suggest for a decent cup of drip.

It also requires that you grind your own beans prior to making. You can make use of a manual coffee grinder or go for a more automated model like the Baratza Encore, which has multiple grind settings and an hopper that can hold whole beans.

The only downside to this product is that it's not dishwasher safe. This could be a concern for some users. The stainless steel can be cleaned by hand. The OXO Brew 9-Cup's sleek design and easy-to-use interface make it one of the top contenders among top drip coffee makers.
