The Best Coffee Machines For Home

There's no universally-fit-all coffee machine. 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-automatic machines that give you the most control over your espresso.

The Breville Oracle Touch strikes the perfect balance between automation and the need to know the ropes of espresso-making. It's our top pick for a machine that makes coffee.

1. Rocket Appartamento

Rocket Appartamento is a great option for those who are looking to make espresso at home without losing quality. This espresso machine for prosumers is designed with a limited counter space in mind and offers top-quality build and tiny footprint. It comes with a 1.8 liter copper heat-exchange boiler and commercial E61 Group Heads so that you can steam your milk and brew coffee at the same at the same time.

The machine looks fantastic and has a round panel on the side with the steam engraved and hot water spouts. This is a fresh update on the classic design of Rocket that is already impressive for a compact machine. It also has the black pressure gauge, which will let you know when the boiler is ready to use.

One drawback of this compact machine is that the drip tray and reservoir for water are smaller than those of other machines. You will need be extra cautious when emptying and refilling the machine. This is especially the case if you use it frequently. This is a natural tradeoff for a smaller footprint, though it is not a problem particular to this model.

You can still make a large amount of coffee using this machine, and it can easily meet the demands of your customers. That being said, we would recommend purchasing a high-quality grinder, like the Baratza Sette Gigante for increased consistency and flavor. You can also use this machine in conjunction with an Rocket portafilter to help improve the process of tamping.

As a prosumer espresso machine The Rocket Appartamento is capable of making delicious drinks, and it's easy to make latte art. However, it's worth noting that the machine was not designed for beginners, and there is an enlightening curve for those upgrading from appliances. The heat exchanger can be tricky to handle, and you'll need to master the art of cooling flushes.

Both the Lelit Bianca as well as the Rocket Appartamento have the option to connect to an water source, allowing you to always be capable of drinking cold, filtered water. The latter model has smaller 2.25-liter tank that can be more difficult to refill.

2. Lavazza A Modo Mio Jolie

As you would expect from a Lavazza machine this one has been designed with quality in mind. It is quick to reach brewing temperature, allowing you to make your first cup of coffee in less than 35 minutes. The water tank is quick and easy to fill and the lid can be removed completely to reveal a large opening. It can be filled with tap water depending on what you prefer.

This is the smallest machine within the Lavazza A Modo Mio range however, it still packs a punch. It's priced less than PS100 at retail which is less than the Nespresso Essenza or similar machines from SMEG or Desea. This makes the Jolie an excellent choice for those who don't have the money or space for a traditional espresso maker, but would like to experience the pleasure of real Italian espresso.

The Jolie is extremely simple to use and takes up only a tiny amount of counter space. You just need to press one button to turn on the machine, then again to start dispensing the chosen pod. There's a light on the button to ensure that you are able to see clearly how much has been dispensed and you can choose to stop the process at any time in case you prefer drinking your drink in smaller portions.

The machine is small enough to be placed under a cabinet or on flat surfaces.

3. Breville BES870XL

At first glance at first glance, the Breville Barista Express looks like an espresso maker that's beyond the budget of many average consumers. If you're willing put in the work to master its use this is a fantastic espresso maker for your home that performs better than many of the more expensive models available. It's a great price for the class and is particularly helpful for those who are new to the field and don't own an espresso machine, which can cost up to $100.

This model sits right in the middle of the line for Breville (their Oracle is the most expensive, costing $2,199) However, it's a solid choice for home baristas on a tight budget. It comes with plenty of adjustable features, and includes an integrated burr grinder that makes the whole experience much more affordable. It's also a single boiler machine, which means that it can only handle one thing at the same time.

Breville, a relative newcomer on the market for espresso machines, has rapidly earned a reputation for its high-quality appliances. This machine is no exception and it comes with enough control to let aspiring baristas develop their abilities without spending more than is necessary.

It's not without its flaws however. For instance, the hopper on this model is positioned on the side of the unit instead of on top. This isn't significant however it can be a little frustrating if you're trying to disperse multiple 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 an ideal, all-purpose machine for any home espresso lover. The only downside to the Breville Barista Express is its price which could be a deterrent for certain buyers. If you're looking for a budget option, we recommend the Gaggia Classic and the La Pavoni Impresso. Both are equally powerful 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 makes excellent coffee with a simple interface. The sleek stainless steel design and backlit LED screen provides your kitchen with a stylish look. It features only one dial to program the amount of cups you want to make. It comes with two cup settings and a 5-9 cup setting. Its brewing technique is similar to pour-over, which most coffee aficionados believe produces the most flavorful coffee. The water is heated to the perfect temperature before being poured over the grounds using a showerhead to ensure uniform saturation. The coffee is stored in the double-walled thermal carafe that can be kept for up to 60 minutes. The pause and pour feature lets you take out the carafe in brewing and fill your individual cup. The machine pauses brewing and shows a red light for the carafe on its LED interface until you return it, then resumes and finishes brewing.

The OXO 9-Cup coffee maker is SCAA certified, which means it meets the strict standards in terms of technology. Its brew cycles are about the same as those of the Bodum Bistro and Technivorm Moccamaster 741 but it allows for more control over temperature and brewing times.

In our testing in our testing, the OXO Brew 9-Cup brewed a pot of excellent drip coffee and a full cup in just 7 minutes and 41 seconds. This is slightly more than the 6 minutes that the Bonavita Connoisseur or the Moccamaster requires, but within the time range that experts in the field recommend to make a good cup.

You should also grind your own beans prior to brewing. You can make use of an old-fashioned coffee grinder or go for a more automated model, such as the Baratza Encore, which has various grind settings as well as the hopper can hold entire beans.

The only downside is that the carafe as well as the water reservoir aren't dishwasher safe this could be a problem for certain users. The stainless steel is easily cleaned by hand, however. The OXO 9-Cup is a leading contender for the top drip coffee maker due to its sleek design and easy to use interface.
