There's no one-size-fits-all espresso 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-automatics that give you the best control over your espresso.
The Breville Oracle Touch is the perfect blend between automation and needing to know the ropes of espresso-making. It's our top choice for a bean-to-cup machine.
1. Rocket Appartamento
Rocket Appartamento is a top option for those who want to make espresso at home without having to make significant sacrifices in terms of quality. This prosumer espresso machine is designed with limited counter space in mind. It is built to last with a high-end build quality and a very small footprint. It comes with a 1.8-liter copper heat exchange boiler and commercial E61 group head so you can steam milk while making espresso simultaneously.
The machine looks fantastic as well and features a round side panel insert with engraved hot water and steam spouts. This is a refreshing update on the classic look of Rocket that is already impressive for a machine that is so small. It also has the black pressure gauge, which shows when the boiler is ready for use.
One disadvantage of this tiny machine is that the drip tray and water reservoir are smaller than the majority of machines. This means that you will have to be vigilant about emptying and refilling the machine, particularly when you use it often. This is a natural tradeoff for smaller footprint, however this is not a problem specific to this model.
This machine can easily handle the demands of your coffee. We suggest purchasing a high-quality grinder, such as the Baratza Sette Gante, to improve consistency and taste. You can also use this machine in conjunction with a Rocket portafilter to enhance the process of tamping.
As a professional espresso machine, the Rocket Appartamento is capable of making delicious drinks, and is easy to make the latte art. However, it's worth noting that the machine isn't made for beginners, and there is an enlightening curve for those who are upgrading from appliances. The heat exchange boiler could be a bit tricky to manage, and you will have to learn the basics 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 be in a position to drink cold, filter-filtered water. The latter model has a smaller 2.25-liter tank that is difficult to refill.
2. Lavazza A Modo Mio Jolie

The water tank is fast and easy to refill by removing the lid completely to reveal a large opening. You can fill it with tap water, should you wish.
This is the smallest machine of the Lavazza A Modo Mio range and yet it packs a punch. At its full price, it costs under PS100 - which is less than the Nespresso Essenza and similar machines from SMEG and Desea. The Jolie is a great choice for those who do not have the space or money for traditional espresso machines however still want to enjoy the authentic Italian espresso.
The Jolie is extremely simple to operate and takes up very little counter space. Pressing a single button will start the machine. After pressing it again, it will start dispensing the pod you have selected. There's a backlight on the button so that you can clearly see the amount of dispensed, and you can stop the process at any time if you prefer to drink your drink in smaller portions.
There's no steam wand available on this model, however you can use an optional milk frother (available separately) to add some creamy froth if you want. The machine is quite quiet, too and can be utilized in a small workspace or in a flatshare kitchen without disturbing anyone else.
The pods aren't cheap, but they come in a variety of blends that are suitable for everyone - from the mildest espresso drinker to the most demanding. They are readily available in many supermarkets, along with 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 that has an integrated milk warmer. It comes with an 75cm power cable, 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 is small enough to fit under a cabinet or on the floor.
3. Breville BES870XL
The Breville Barista Express appears to be an expensive espresso machine. If you're willing to master it and make it work, then this is a fantastic home espresso maker. It performs better than most of the more expensive models. It's a great value for the money and is particularly helpful for those who aren't experienced enough to have an espresso maker that costs up to $100.
This model sits right below the top of the range for Breville (their Oracle is the most expensive model at $2,199), but it's still an excellent choice for home baristas on a budget. It comes with plenty of adjustable features, and comes with a built-in burr grinder to make the entire experience cheaper. It's also a single boiler machine, meaning it can only perform one task at one time.
Breville is a relative newcomer on the market for espresso machines, has quickly established a reputation for high-quality appliances. This machine is no different and has enough control that it can be adjusted to let baristas who are aspiring improve their abilities without spending hundreds of dollars more than they have to.
It's not without its quirks, though. One example is that the hopper in this model is located on the side of the unit, instead of on top. This isn't a huge deal however it can be frustrating if you're trying to dispense multiple shots at once. The rear placement of the tank makes it difficult to determine how much liquid remains.
If you're willing some time in learning how to use the Breville Barista Express then it's an excellent option for anyone who loves espresso at home. The only issue with the Breville Barista Express is its price, which may be a deterrent for some buyers. If you're looking for a low-cost alternative, we recommend the Gaggia Classic and the La Pavoni Impresso. Both machines are comparable in their capabilities and provide a bit more control than the Barista Express. However, they are a fraction of the price.
4. OXO Brew 9 Cup
A high-tech smart machine for coffee machine pro with a simple user interface that produces excellent coffee. Its sleek stainless steel design and backlit LED screen give an elegant design to your kitchen.

The OXO 9-Cup coffee maker is SCAA certified, which means that it meets the strict standards for technical quality. Its brew time is approximately as long as those of the Bodum BISTRO and Technivorm Moccamaster KBT 741, but it provides greater control over temperature, brewing duration and also quality.
In our tests we found that the OXO Brew 9-Cup made an excellent drip coffee with a full-carafe of coffee in 7 minutes and 41 seconds. This is slightly more than the time that the Bonavita Connoisseur or the Moccamaster calls for, but it is within the time range that experts in the field recommend for making a quality cup.
You should also grind your beans before brewing. You can use a manual coffee machine black friday grinder, or choose a more automated model, such as the Baratza Encore, which has different grind settings and an hopper that can hold whole beans.
The only drawback is that the carafe as well as the water reservoir aren't dishwasher-safe and could cause problem for some users. The stainless steel is still easily cleaned by hand, but. The OXO Brew 9-Cup's sleek design and user-friendly interface make it a top contender among the top drip coffee makers.
