The Best [Coffee Machines For Home](https://www.coffeee.uk/)
There's no universally-fit-all coffee machine. That's why we've rounded up our top picks for the home, ranging from a super-automatic that grinds and packs your beans, to semi-automatic machines that give you the best control over your espresso.
The Breville Oracle Touch achieves the perfect balance between automation and having to be able to master the art of espresso-making. It's our top choice for a coffee-to-cup machine.
1. Rocket Appartamento
Rocket Appartamento is a top choice for those looking to make espresso at home, without making big sacrifices in terms of quality. This espresso machine for the prosumer is designed with the smallest counter space in mind and offers top-quality build and the smallest footprint. It is equipped 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 stunning as well, and has an elongated side panel with the engraved steam and hot water spouts. This is a new take on the classic design of Rocket that is already impressive for a small machine. It also has an black pressure gauge that shows when the boiler is ready to use.
The water reservoir and drip tray are smaller on this machine than most others. This means that you will need to be extra vigilant when emptying and refilling the machine, particularly when using it frequently. This is a normal trade-off to have smaller footprint, however, and not an issue that is unique to this model.
You can still brew plenty of coffee using this machine, and it will easily keep up with the demands of your customers. We recommend buying a good grinder, such as the Baratza Sette Giante, to improve consistency and flavor. You can also pair the machine with a Rocket Portafilter to increase the tamping.
Rocket Appartamento, as a prosumer machine, makes excellent drinks and is easy to create Latte arts. It's important to note that the machine isn't designed for novices and there's a bit of a learning curve for those upgrading from appliance-grade machines. The heat exchanger is difficult to work with, and you'll need to learn how to perform cooling flushes.
Both the Lelit Bianca as well as the Rocket Appartamento have the option to connect to an water source, allowing you to always be able to drink cold and purified water. The latter has smaller 2.25-liter tank that can be difficult to refill.
2. Lavazza A Modo Mio Jolie
This machine is built to Lavazza's high standards. The machine can reach the temperature of brewing quickly, which means you can prepare your first cup in less than 35 second. The water tank is quick and simple to refill by removing the lid completely to reveal a large opening. You can fill it up using tap water, depending on what you prefer.
This is the smallest machine of the Lavazza A Modo Mio range, but it still has a lot of punch. It costs less than PS100 at the full price and is much less expensive than the Nespresso Essenza or similar machines from SMEG or 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 real Italian espresso.
The Jolie is easy to use and requires small counter space. Pressing one button will activate the machine. Pressing it again will start dispensing the specific pod you've chosen. The button has a backlight so you can see how much you have consumed. You can also manually stop the process should you prefer to consume the pod in smaller portions.
The model isn't equipped with a steam wand, however, you can add creamy foam to your milk with an optional milk frother. The machine is very quiet, too, and can be used in a small workspace or in a kitchen with flatshare without disturbing anyone else.
They aren't cheap, but there is an array of blends to choose from to satisfy everyone from mildest to the most demanding espresso drinkers. They are available in many supermarkets, as well as 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 stylish capsule machine that has an integrated milk warmer and frother. It comes with a 75cm power plug and power cable, a warranty sheet, a quick guide, and a test pack of nine Lavazza pods. Six are roasts (two Qualita Rossa and two Lungo Dolce) and two are decaffeinated. The machine is small enough to be kept on a flat surface or slipped under your cupboard.
3. Breville BES870XL
At first glance, the Breville Barista Express looks like an espresso machine that is beyond the budget of many average consumers. If you're willing put in the work to master its use, this is an excellent espresso maker for home use that is more efficient than some of the more expensive models on the market. It's the best value in its class, and it's particularly suitable for beginners who don't have an espresso machine yet, which could cost them $100 or more.
This model is priced less than the top-of-the-line Breville Oracle (the most expensive at $2199), but is still an excellent choice for baristas who are on a tight budget. It comes with a variety of customizable features, and even an integrated burr mill, which makes it more affordable. It's also a single boiler that means it can only be used for steaming or brewing at one time.
Breville, a relative newcomer on the market for espresso machines, has quickly earned a reputation for its high-quality appliances. This machine is no different and offers enough adjustability to let aspiring baristas burnish their skills without spending hundreds of dollars more than they should.
It's not without its flaws, though. For instance, the hopper on this model is positioned on the side of the unit instead of on top. This isn't an issue however it can be difficult to dispense multiple shots at once. It's also difficult to determine how much water is left in the tank due to its rear placement.
If you're willing to put in some time in learning how to use the Breville Barista Express then it's an excellent choice for anyone who loves espresso at home. The only downside is the cost, which can be a turnoff for some buyers. If you're looking for an affordable alternative, we recommend the Gaggia Classic and the La Pavoni Impresso. Both are equally capable and offer a little more control than the Barista Express, but they'll cost you only a fraction of the price. Breville model can do.
4. OXO Brew 9-Cup
A high-tech, intelligent coffee machine that makes great coffee with a simple user interface. Its sleek stainless steel design and backlit LED screen add an elegant design to your kitchen. It comes with a single dial that allows you to set the number of cups. There are two settings: 5-9 cups and 2-4 cups. Its brewing process is similar to pour over, which most coffee enthusiasts believe makes the best tasting coffee. The water is heated to a perfect temperature before being poured over the grounds using a showerhead to ensure uniform saturation. The brewed coffee is then stored in the double-walled thermal carafe, which can be stored for up to 60 min. The pause and pour feature allows you to remove the carafe in brewing and fill your individual cup. The machine stops the brewing process, and displays the red light on its LED interface, until you return the carafe. Then, it resumes brewing.
The OXO Brew 9-Cup is certified by SCAA, which means it complies with the organization's rigorous technical standards. The brew cycle is as long as those of the Bodum BISTRO and Technivorm Moccamaster KBT 741, however, it has more control over temperature, brewing duration and quality.
In our testing we found that the OXO Brew 9-Cup brewed an excellent drip coffee and a full cup in just 7 minutes and 41 seconds. That's a little longer than the 6 minutes or less the Bonavita Connoisseur and the Moccamaster require but well within the range of time that coffee experts recommend for a great cup of drip.
It also requires you to grind your own beans before making coffee. You can choose a manual grinder or a more automated model such as the Baratza Encore. It has multiple grind settings, and it has a hopper that can be used for whole beans.
The only issue with this product is that it's not dishwasher safe. This could be a problem for some customers. The stainless steel can be cleaned by hand. The OXO Brew 9-Cup's sleek aesthetic and user-friendly interface make it a top contender among the top drip coffee makers.
