The Best Coffee Machines For Home
There is no one-size-fits-all coffee machine. That's why we've rounded up our favorite picks for your home, 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 a perfect balance between automatizing the process while making you knowledgeable about the art of espresso-making. It's our top choice for a bean-to-cup machine.
1. Rocket Appartamento
Rocket Appartamento makes a great choice for those who are looking to make espresso at their home without losing quality. This espresso machine with a small footprint was designed for those who have limited counter space. It combines excellent build quality with a compact footprint. It is equipped with a 1.8-liter copper heat exchange boiler as well as a commercial E61 group head, so you can steam milk and brew espresso at the same time.
The machine is also beautiful and has a round design on the side panel with the steam engraved and hot water spouts. This is a new take on the classic design of Rocket, which is already pretty impressive for a small machine. It also includes an black gauge for boiler pressure to indicate when the boiler is ready for use.
The drip tray and the water reservoir tray are smaller on this machine than most other models. It is important be cautious when emptying and refilling the machine. This is especially true when you are using it often. This is a natural tradeoff for having a smaller footprint, though this is not a problem particular to this model.
This machine is able to handle the demands of your coffee. We recommend buying a good grinder, such as the Baratza Sette Gante, to improve consistency and taste. You can also pair the machine with an Rocket Portafilter to increase tamping.
As a prosumer espresso machine, the Rocket Appartamento is capable of making delicious drinks, and is easy to create the latte art. It's important to know that this machine isn't designed for beginners. There is a slight learning curve for people who are upgrading from espresso machines that are appliance-grade. The heat exchange boiler could be a bit tricky to control and you'll have to master the ins and outs of cooling flushes.
Both the Lelit Bianca and the Rocket Appartamento offer the option of connecting to a water source, which allows you to always have cold, fresh water that has been filtered for your drinks. The latter, however, comes with a 2.25-liter water tank that could be more difficult to refill than its competitors.
2. Lavazza A Modo Mio Jolie
As you would expect from the Lavazza machine this one was designed with quality in mind. The machine can reach the temperature for brewing quickly, which means you can prepare your first cup in just 35 second. The water tank is also quick and simple to refill, with the lid detaching completely to make a wide opening. You can fill it using tap water, should you wish.
The Lavazza A Modo Mio is the smallest model in the range, but it packs a punch. It costs less than PS100 at the full price which is less than the Nespresso Essenza or similar machines from SMEG or Desea. This makes the Jolie an ideal choice for those with a limited budget or space for a traditional espresso maker, but would like to experience the pleasure of real Italian espresso.
The Jolie is easy to use and occupies very small counter space. Pressing a single button will start the machine. Pressing it again will start dispensing the pod you've selected. There's a light on the button so that you can easily see the amount of dispensed and you can choose to stop the process at any time if you prefer to drink your drink in smaller portions.
This model doesn't come with a steam wand however, you can add creamy froth to your milk using an optional milk frother. The machine is also quite quiet and can be used to make coffee machine pro in a small kitchen working space.
Pods aren't expensive, but there's an array of blends to choose from to suit everyone from the mildest to the most demanding espresso drinkers. You can find them in most 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 machine that comes with an integrated milk warmer. It comes in a box with a 75cm power cable and plug along with a quick-guide as well as a 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). The machine is small enough to be kept on the floor or placed under your cabinet.
3. Breville BES870XL
At first glance at first glance, the Breville Barista Express looks like an espresso machine that is beyond the budget of a majority of consumers. But if you're willing to take the time to master its use, this is an excellent espresso maker for home use that performs better than many of the more expensive models available. It's the most affordable in its class, and is especially good for novices who do not have an espresso maker yet--which can easily cost them another $100 or more.
This model is priced less than the top-of-the-line Breville Oracle (the most expensive at $2199) However, it's an excellent choice for baristas working on a tight budget. It has a lot of options to customize and features, including an integrated burr mill to make it more affordable. It's also a single boiler, which means that it can only do steaming or brewing at the same time.
Breville is a relative newcomer on the market for espresso machines, has swiftly gained a reputation as a top-quality appliances. This machine is no different, and it has just enough control to let budding baristas hone their skills without spending hundreds more than they need to.
There are some quirks, though. The hopper is situated on the side, not on the top of the model. It's not a major issue, but it can be frustrating if you want to disperse several shots at a time. The rear-facing position of the tank makes it difficult to determine the amount of liquid left.
But if you're prepared to learn how to master the Breville Barista Express, it's an excellent, all-purpose appliance for anyone who is a coffee lover at home. The only drawback to the Breville Barista Express is its price, which may be a stumbling block for some buyers. For those looking for a lower-cost alternative, take a look at our review of the Gaggia Classic or the La Pavoni Impresso. Both machines are similar in capability and offer 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 coffee machine with a user-friendly interface that produces excellent coffee machine industrial. Its sleek stainless steel design and backlit LED screen give a stylish appearance to your kitchen. It features a single dial to program the number of cups you would like to make. It comes with a 2-4 cup setting and a 5-9 cup setting. Its brewing process is similar to pour over the grounds, which many coffee lovers believe makes the best coffee machine tasting coffee. The water is heated up to the perfect temperature and then evenly poured over the coffee machines coffee grounds with a shower head. The brewed coffee then collects inside the double-walled thermal carafe for upto 60 minutes. The pause and pour feature lets you take out the carafe while brewing to fill your individual cup. The machine stops the brewing process, and displays a red light on its LED interface, until you return the carafe. Then, it resumes brewing.
The OXO 9-Cup coffee maker has been SCAA certified, meaning it complies with the strict standards for technical quality. Its brew cycles are about the same as those of the Bodum Bistro and Technivorm Moccamaster 741 but it lets you control the temperature and brewing times.
In our tests we found that the OXO Brew 9-Cup produced an excellent drip coffee with a full-carafe in just 7 minutes and 41 seconds. This is slightly more than the 6 minutes the Bonavita Connoisseur or the Moccamaster requires, but within the range of time that experts in the field recommend to make a good cup.
You must also grind your beans before brewing. You can choose either a manual grinder or a more automated model like the Baratza Encore. It has different grind settings and a hopper for whole beans.
The only drawback is that the carafe and the water reservoir aren't dishwasher safe, which could be a issue for certain users. The stainless steel can be cleaned by hand. The OXO 9-Cup is a leading contender for the top drip coffee maker due to its sleek design and easy to use interface.
