The Best Coffee Machines For Home

There's no one-size-fits-all coffee maker. That's why we've rounded up our top picks for your home, ranging from a super-automatic 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 automatizing the process and requiring you to be familiar with the art of espresso-making. It's the best bean-to-cup machine we've found.

1. Rocket Appartamento

Rocket Appartamento is a great option for those looking to make espresso at home without losing quality. This small coffee machine-footprint espresso machine was created for those with limited counter space. It is built to last and has excellent quality and a small footprint. It is equipped with a 1.8 Liter copper heat exchange boiler and commercial E61 Group Heads so that you can steam your milk and brew your coffee machine best at the same at the same time.

The machine is also beautiful and has a circular design on the side panel with engraved steam and hot water spouts. This is an upgrade to Rocket's classic design that is already impressive for a compact appliance. It also comes with an black gauge for boiler pressure to let you know when the boiler is ready for use.

One disadvantage of this tiny machine is that the drip tray and the water reservoir are smaller than the majority of machines. This means that you'll have to be vigilant about emptying and refilling the machine, particularly when you use it often. This is a sacrifice that results in a smaller footprint. It's not something that is unique to this model.

You can still brew a lot of coffee with this machine, and it is able to easily keep up with the demands. We would suggest investing in a quality grinder, like the Baratza Sette Gigante to ensure consistency and better flavor. You can also pair this machine with the Rocket portafilter to help improve the grinding process.

Rocket Appartamento, as a prosumer machine, makes excellent drinks and is easy to make Latte Arts. It's important to note that the machine isn't designed for novices and there's some learning curve for those upgrading from appliances. The heat exchange boiler can be a bit difficult to manage and you'll need to master the ins and outs of cooling flushes.

Both the Lelit Bianca and the Rocket Appartamento provide the option of connecting to a water supply, which allows you to always have clean, cold filtered water on hand for your drinks. The latter model has a smaller 2.25-liter tank that can be difficult to refill.

2. Lavazza A Modo Mio Jolie

This machine is built to Lavazza's top standards. The machine is able to reach the temperature of brewing quickly, which means you can make your first cup in just 35 seconds. The water tank is able to be filled, as the lid can be removed to make the large hole. You can fill it using tap water, should you wish.

The Lavazza A Modo Mio is the smallest model in the models, but it is a powerful machine. When you buy it at full cost, it's less than PS100 - which is less than the Nespresso Essenza and similar machines from SMEG and Desea. This makes the Jolie a great option for those who don't have the money or space to buy a traditional espresso maker, but who want to get their fix of authentic Italian espresso.

The Jolie is extremely easy to operate and takes up very little counter space. You just need to press one button to start the machine, then again to start dispensing the chosen pod. The button has a backlight to let you know how much you have consumed. You can also stop the process in case you wish to drink the pod in smaller quantities.

There's no steam wand on this model, but you can use 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 workspace.

The pods aren't cheap, but they come in a variety of blends that can be used by all - from the lightest espresso drinker to the most demanding. You can find them in the majority of supermarkets, along with regular coffee beans and grounds coffee. You can also buy Lavazza A Modo Mio Compatible pods on the internet.

The Jolie and milk is a sleek capsule with an integrated milk warmer. It comes in a box with a 75cm power cable and plug as well as a quick-guide and warranty sheet and a tester box of nine Lavazza pods that include six roasts (two Qualita Rossa, two Lungo Dolce and two Delizioso) and two decaffeinated (Dek Cremoso).

It is also a single-boiler machine, meaning it can only handle one thing at a time.

Breville is an incredibly newcomer to the market for espresso machines, has swiftly established a reputation for high-quality appliances. This machine is no different and offers enough adjustable control to allow aspiring baristas to improve their abilities without spending hundreds of dollars more than they have to.

It's not without its quirks, though. The hopper is located on the side, not at the top of the model. It's not a huge problem, but it could be frustrating if you want to disperse several shots at a time. The rear position of the tank makes it difficult to see how much liquid is left.

If you're willing to spend some time learning how to master the Breville Barista Express, it's a great, do-it-all appliance for anyone who is a coffee lover at home. The only drawback to the Breville Barista Express is the price, which may be a stumbling block for some buyers. If you're looking for a less expensive alternative, take a look at our review of the Gaggia Classic or the La Pavoni Impresso. Both machines have similar capabilities and provide a bit more control than the Barista Express. However, they cost less than the cost.
