There's no one-size-fits-all coffee maker. That's why we've rounded up our top picks for the home, from a fully automated that grinds and packs your beans, to semi-automatic machines that give you the most control over your espresso.
The Breville Oracle Touch achieves the perfect balance between automation and the need to be able to master the art of espresso-making. This is our top choice for a coffee-to-cup machine.
1. Rocket Appartamento
Rocket Appartamento is a top option for those who want to make espresso at home, without making big sacrifices in terms of quality. This espresso machine with a small footprint was created for those with little counter space. It has a great 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 heads so that you can steam milk while making espresso at the same time.
The machine also looks great and features a round insert on the side panel with the steam engraved and hot water spouts. This is an update to Rocket's original design that is already impressive for a compact appliance. It also has a black boiler pressure gauge to let you know when the boiler is ready for use.
The drip tray and the water reservoir tray are smaller on this machine than most others. You will need to be careful when emptying and re-filling the machine. This is particularly true in the event that you frequently use it. This is a natural trade-off to have smaller footprint, however, and not an issue particular to this model.
This machine can easily handle the demands of your coffee. We recommend buying a good grinder, like the Baratza Sette Giante to improve consistency and taste. You can also pair the machine with an Rocket Portafilter to increase tamping.
As a professional espresso machine The Rocket Appartamento is capable of making great drinks, and it's easy to make latte art. It's important to know that this machine was not designed for novices. There is a slight learning curve for those upgrading from appliances-grade espresso machines. The heat exchanger is difficult to operate and you'll have 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 capable of drinking cold and filtered water. The latter has a 2.25-liter water tank, which is more difficult to refill than some of its competitors.
2. Lavazza A Modo Mio Jolie
This machine is built to Lavazza's high standards. The machine can reach the temperature for brewing quickly, so you can prepare your first cup in less than 35 second. The water tank is also fast and easy to refill by removing the lid completely to create a large opening. You can fill it with tap water if you prefer.
This is the smallest machine within the Lavazza A Modo Mio range, but it still has a lot of punch. At full price, it costs under PS100 which is lower than the Nespresso Essenza and similar machines from SMEG and Desea. This makes the Jolie an ideal choice for those without the budget or space to buy a traditional espresso maker, but who would like to experience the pleasure of authentic Italian espresso.
The Jolie is extremely easy to use and takes up just a little counter space. You just need to press a single button to activate the machine, and then press it again to start dispensing the chosen pod. There's a backlight that's on the button, so you are able to see clearly how much has been dispensed and you can choose to stop the process at any time should you prefer to drink your pod in smaller doses.
The model isn't equipped with a steam wand, but you can add some creamy foam to your milk with an optional milk frother. The machine is quite quiet as well, and can be used in a small workspace or in a kitchen with flatshare without disturbing others.
The pods aren't inexpensive, but they come in a range of blends that will suit all - from the lightest espresso drinker to the most demanding. They are sold in most supermarkets alongside regular coffee beans and ground coffee and you can also purchase Lavazza A Modo Mio compatible pods on the internet.
The Jolie and Milk is a sleek capsule machine that has an integrated milk warmer and frother. It comes with a 75cm power cord and plug, a quick-guide and warranty sheet and a tester 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 be able to be stowed on a flat surface or slipped under your cabinet.
3. Breville BES870XL
The Breville Barista Express appears to be a high-priced espresso machine. If you're willing and able to master it, then this is a fantastic home espresso maker. It's far superior to most of the more expensive models. It's a great value for the money and is particularly helpful for beginners who don't yet have an espresso machine that can cost up to $100.
The model is priced lower than the top-of-the-line Breville Oracle (the most expensive at $2199) however it is 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, which makes it more affordable. It's also a single boiler machine that means that it can only do steaming or brewing at one 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 aspiring baristas develop their abilities without spending more than they need to.
It's not without its flaws, though. For instance, the hopper in this model is located on the side of the unit instead of on top. This isn't an issue however it can be difficult to give multiple shots at once. The rear position of the tank makes it difficult to see how much liquid remains.
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 loves espresso at home. The only drawback is the price, which could be a nagging issue for certain buyers. If you're looking for an affordable option, we recommend the Gaggia Classic and the La Pavoni Impresso. Both machines are similar in capability and offer a bit more control than the Barista Express. However, they cost less than the cost.

A high-tech, smart coffee maker that makes excellent coffee with a simple user interface. Its sleek stainless steel design and backlit LED screen add a stylish design to your kitchen. It has one dial to set how many cups you want to make. It comes with the 2-4 cup setting as well as a 5-9 cup setting. Its brewing process is similar to pour over the grounds, which many coffee lovers believe produces the most delicious coffee. The water is heated up to the ideal temperature, and then poured evenly over the coffee grounds using a shower head. The coffee
brewed coffee machine is then stored in the double-walled, thermal carafe for up to 60 minutes. The pause and pour feature lets you remove the carafe while brewing to fill your own cup. The machine pauses the brewing process and shows a red light for the carafe on its LED interface until you return it, then resumes and finishes brewing.

In our testing, the OXO Brew 9-Cup produced a pot of excellent drip coffee and a full-carafe of
coffee machine best in 7 minutes and 41 seconds. This is slightly more than the 6 minutes that the Bonavita Connoisseur or the Moccamaster requires, but still within the time range that experts in the field recommend to make a great cup.
It also requires that you grind your own beans prior to making coffee. You can choose an manual grinder or a more automated model such as the Baratza Encore. It has various grind settings, as well as an hopper for beans that are whole.
The only downside is that the carafe and 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 top contender for the top drip coffee maker because of its sleek design and easy to use interface.
