The Best Coffee Machines For Home
There is no one-size-fits-all coffee machine. This is why we’ve compiled our top picks for your home, ranging from a super-automatic that grinds and packs your beans, to semi-automatic machines that give you the most control over your espresso.
The Breville Oracle Touch strikes the perfect balance between automation and having to be able to master the art of espresso-making. This is our top choice for a machine that makes coffee.
1. Rocket Appartamento
Rocket Appartamento makes a great choice for those who are looking to make espresso at home without losing quality. This small-footprint espresso machine was specifically designed for people with small counter space. It has a great build quality with a compact footprint. It is equipped with a 1.8 milliliter copper heat exchange boiler and commercial E61 Group Heads so that you can steam your milk and brew coffee machine with grinder at same simultaneously.
The machine looks fantastic and features a round insert on the side panel with engravings of steam and hot water spouts. This is an upgrade to Rocket’s classic design, which is already impressive for a small appliance. It also has the black gauge of pressure in the boiler to show when the boiler is ready to use.
The drip tray and machines the water reservoir tray are smaller on this machine than most other models. You will need to be careful when emptying and re-filling the machine. This is especially the case in the event that you frequently use it. This is a trade-off that is a result of having smaller footprint. This isn’t an issue that is specific to this model.
This machine is able to 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 use this machine in conjunction with a Rocket portafilter to enhance the tamping process.
As a prosumer espresso machine The Rocket Appartamento is capable of making some great drinks, and it’s easy to make latte art. It’s important to know that this machine isn’t designed for novices. There is a little learning curve for people who are upgrading from espresso machines that are appliance-grade. The heat exchanger can be difficult to operate and you’ll need to master the art of cooling flushes.
Both the Lelit Bianca and the Rocket Appartamento allow connecting to a water source, which allows you to always have fresh, cold filtering water available for your drinks. The latter, however, comes with a 2.25-liter water tank that can be more difficult to refill than some of its competitors.
2. Lavazza A Modo Mio Jolie

This is the smallest machine within the Lavazza A Modo Mio range, but it still packs a punch. It’s priced less than PS100 at full price – that’s less than the Nespresso Essenza or similar machines from SMEG or Desea. This makes the Jolie a great option for those without the budget or space to buy a traditional espresso maker, but who want to get their fix of authentic Italian espresso.
The Jolie is simple to use and takes up little counter space. Pressing a single button will start the machine. After pressing it again, it will begin dispensing the pod you’ve selected. There’s a light on the button to ensure that you can clearly see the amount of liquid that has been dispersed and you can also manually stop the process in case you prefer drinking your drink in smaller portions.
There’s no steam wand available on this model, but you can add a milk frother (available separately) to add some creamy froth, if you’d like. The machine is quiet as well, and can be used in a small workspace or in a flatshare kitchen without causing any disturbance to anyone else.

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. If you’re willing take the time to master its use this is a fantastic espresso maker for your home that performs better than some of the more expensive models available. It’s a great price for the class and is especially useful for those who are new to the field and don’t own an espresso machine that costs up to $100.
This model sits right below the top of the line for Breville (their Oracle is the most expensive, costing $2,199), but it’s still an excellent choice for baristas at home who are on a tight budget. It delivers plenty of tweakable features, and comes with a built-in burr grinder, making the whole experience much cheaper. It’s also a single boiler machine, which means that it can only perform one task at one time.
Although it is a relatively newcomer to the espresso machine market, Breville has quickly made an impact through their top-quality machines. This machine isn’t an exception and offers enough adjustable control to let baristas who are aspiring improve their abilities without spending more than they need to.
There are some quirks however. The hopper is on the side, not the top, of this model. It’s not a big problem, but it could be a hassle if you need to give multiple shots at once. The rear placement of the tank makes it difficult to know how much liquid is left.
If you’re willing to invest some time learning how to master the Breville Barista Express, it’s an ideal, all-purpose machine for anyone who loves espresso at home. The only issue is the cost, which can be a deterrent for some buyers. If you’re seeking a cheaper alternative, read our review of the Gaggia Classic or the La Pavoni Impresso. Both machines are similar in capability and provide a bit more control than the Barista Express. However, they cost a fraction of the price.
