The Best Coffee Machines For Home
There is no one-size-fits-all coffee machine. We've put together our top choices, ranging from a superautomatic that grinds your beans and packs them into semi-automatic machines that give you the best control over your espresso.
The Breville Oracle Touch strikes the perfect balance between automation and needing to know the ropes of espresso-making. It's the best bean-to-cup machine we've seen.
1. Rocket Appartamento
Rocket Appartamento is a fantastic choice for those who are looking to make espresso at their home without sacrificing quality. This espresso machine with a small footprint was designed for those with small counter space. It combines excellent build quality with a compact footprint. It comes with a 1.8 Liter copper heat exchange boiler and commercial E61 Group Head, so you can steam your milk and brew your coffee at the same at the same time.
The machine looks great as well, and has a round side panel insert with engravings of steam 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 the black pressure gauge, which will let you know when the boiler is ready to use.
One disadvantage of this tiny machine is that the drip tray and the water reservoir are smaller than most other machines. This means that you will need to be extra vigilant when emptying and refilling the machine, particularly when you use it often. This is a normal trade-off for having less footprint, however, and not an issue particular to this model.
This machine is capable of handling the demands of your coffee machines. However, we would suggest investing in a quality grinder, such as the Baratza Sette Gigante for greater consistency and flavor. You can also pair this machine with the Rocket portafilter to improve the tamping process.
As a professional espresso machine, the Rocket Appartamento is capable of making some great drinks, and it's simple to create Latte art. However, it's important to remember that the machine isn't made for beginners and there's some learning curve for those upgrading from appliance-grade machines. The heat exchanger can be difficult to work with, and you'll need to learn how to do cooling flushes.
Both the Lelit Bianca and the Rocket Appartamento provide the option of connecting to a water source, which means you'll always have fresh coffee maker, cold filtering water available for your drinks.

When you buy it at full price, it's priced at PS100 which is lower than the Nespresso Essenza and similar machines from SMEG and Desea. The Jolie is a great choice for those who don't have the space or funds for an espresso machine of the traditional type however still want to enjoy a real Italian espresso.
The Jolie is easy to use and occupies very little counter space. By pressing a single button, you can start the machine. After pressing it again, it will start dispensing the specific pod you've chosen. The button is illuminated so you can see the amount you've consumed. You can also manually stop the process, if you want to drink the pod in smaller portions.
There's no steam wand available on this model, however you can add a milk frother (available separately) to add some creamy froth if you want. The machine is very quiet, too, and can be used in a small workspace or in a flatshare kitchen without disturbing anyone else.

The unit has its flaws. The hopper is situated on the side, not on the top, of this model. It's not a huge problem, but it could be frustrating if you want to dispense multiple shots at once. It's also difficult to see how much water is left in the tank, due to its rear placement.
