The Best Coffee Machines For Home
There's no universally-fit-all coffee machine. This is why we've compiled our top picks for the 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 the perfect balance between automatizing the process and requiring you to be proficient in the art of espresso-making. It's our top pick for a machine that makes coffee.
1. Rocket Appartamento
Rocket Appartamento is a top option for those who wish to make espresso at home, without making huge sacrifices in terms quality. This small-footprint espresso machine was designed for those who have little counter space. It is built to last and has excellent 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 time.
The machine is also beautiful and has a round panel on the side with engraved steam and hot water spouts. This is a new take on the classic look of Rocket that is already impressive for a machine that is so small. It also has a black boiler pressure gauge to indicate when the boiler is ready to use.
One drawback of this compact machine is that the drip tray and the water reservoir are smaller than the majority of machines. It is important be cautious 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 for having a smaller footprint, though it is not a problem particular to this model.
This machine is able to handle your [coffee machines home](https://www.coffeee.uk/) needs. We recommend investing in a quality grinder, like the Baratza Sette Giante to improve consistency and taste. You can also use this machine in conjunction with the Rocket portafilter to improve the process of tamping.
Rocket Appartamento, as a prosumer machine, can create excellent drinks and is simple to make latte arts. It's important to note that this machine was not intended for novices. There is a small learning curve for those upgrading from appliance-grade espresso machines. The heat exchange boiler may be a bit tricky to operate and you'll need to learn the basics of cooling flushes.
Both the Lelit Bianca as well as the Rocket Appartamento have the option to connect to a water source, allowing you to be able to drink cold pure, filtered water. The latter, however, comes with a 2.25-liter water tank, which is more difficult to fill than its competitors.
2. Lavazza A Modo Mio Jolie
This machine is built to Lavazza's high standards. The machine is able to reach the brewing temperature quickly, which means you can make your first cup in less than 35 seconds. The water tank can be filled easily, as the lid can be removed to create a large hole. You can fill it with tap water if that's what you prefer.
This is the smallest machine of the Lavazza A Modo Mio range, but it still packs a punch. It's priced at less than PS100 at full price which is less than the Nespresso Essenza or similar machines from SMEG or Desea. The Jolie is a great alternative for those who do not have the space or funds for a traditional espresso machine however, they still want to experience a real Italian espresso.
The Jolie is extremely easy to use and occupies only a tiny amount of counter space. By pressing a single button, you can begin the process. Pressing it again will begin dispensing the pod you have selected. There's a backlight that's 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 the pod in smaller amounts.
There's no steam wand included on this model, but 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 utilized in a small workspace or in a flatshare kitchen without causing any disturbance to anyone else.
They aren't cheap, but there is a variety of blends to choose from to satisfy everyone from mildest to the most demanding espresso drinkers. They are available in the majority of supermarkets, along with regular grounds coffee and coffee beans. 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 an 75cm power cable, plug along with a quick-guide as well as a warranty card, as well as a test box of nine Lavazza pods which include six roasts (two Qualita Rossa, two Lungo Dolce and two Delizioso) and two decaffeinated (Dek Cremoso). The machine itself is small enough to be kept on an even surface or placed under the cabinet.
3. Breville BES870XL
The Breville Barista Express appears to be a costly espresso machine. If you're willing to invest the time to master its use, this is an excellent espresso maker for home use that is more efficient than some of the more expensive models available. It's an excellent value for the money and is particularly useful for beginners who don't yet have an espresso machine that costs up to $100.
The model is priced lower than the most expensive Breville Oracle (the most expensive at $2199), but is still an excellent option for baristas working on a budget. It delivers plenty of tweakable features, and it even has a built-in burr grinder to make the entire experience cheaper. It's also a one-boiler machine, meaning it can only perform one task at one time.
Breville is relatively new to the market for espresso machines, has quickly gained a reputation as a top-quality appliances. This machine is no exception, and it offers just enough adjustable control to let baristas who are aspiring develop their skills without spending hundreds of dollars more than they should.
The unit is not without its flaws. For instance, the hopper on this model is placed on the side of the unit, instead of being on top. This isn't really significant, but it can be annoying if you're trying dispense multiple shots at once. It's also difficult to know the amount of water left in the tank due to its rear placement.
But if you're prepared to invest some time learning how to master the Breville Barista Express, it's an excellent, all-purpose appliance for any home espresso lover. The only downside to the Breville Barista Express is the price which could be a hindrance for certain buyers. If you're looking for a less expensive alternative, read our review of the Gaggia Classic or the La Pavoni Impresso. Both machines have similar capabilities and provide a bit more control than the Barista Express. However, they cost a fraction of the price.
4. OXO Brew 9-Cup
A high-tech smart machine for coffee with a simple user interface that makes great coffee. The sleek stainless steel design with backlit LED display gives your kitchen a sophisticated appearance. It comes with a single dial to program the amount of cups you want it to make and includes a 2-4 cup setting and a 5-9 cup setting. The brewing process is similar to pour-over, which most coffee enthusiasts believe makes the most delicious coffee. The water is heated to the ideal temperature, and then evenly distributed over the coffee grounds with shower heads. The coffee is then brewed inside the double-walled thermal carafe, which can last up to 60 minutes. Its pause and pour feature allows you to remove the carafe during brewing to fill your own cup. The machine stops the brewing process, and displays an red light on its LED interface until you return the carafe. It then resumes brewing.
The OXO 9-Cup coffee maker has been SCAA certified, which means it meets the strict technical standards. Its brew cycle is about the same length as the Bodum BISTRO and the Technivorm Moccamaster KBT 741, but it offers more control over temperature, brewing duration, and quality.
In our tests, the OXO Brew 9 Cup produced an excellent cup of drip coffee with a carafe full in just 7 minutes and 41 seconds. This is a bit more than the time that the Bonavita Connoisseur or the Moccamaster requires, but still within the range that coffee experts recommend for making a quality cup.
It also requires you to grind your own beans prior to brewing. You can use an old-fashioned coffee grinder or choose a more automated model such as the Baratza Encore, which has various grind settings as well as an hopper that can hold whole beans.
The only issue with this product is that it's not dishwasher safe. This could pose a problem for some users. The stainless steel is still easily cleaned by hand, however. The OXO Brew 9-Cup's sleek style and easy-to-use interface make it one of the top contenders among best drip coffee makers.
