The Breville Oracle Touch strikes the perfect balance between automatizing the process while making you 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 great option for those looking to make espresso at home without losing quality. This espresso machine with a small footprint was designed for those who have limited counter space. It has a great build quality and a small footprint. It comes with an 1.8-liter copper heat exchange boiler as well as a commercial E61 group head so you can steam milk and brew espresso at the same time.

The machine looks great as well and features an elongated side panel with engraved hot water and steam spouts. This is a modernization of Rocket's classic design that is already impressive for a small appliance. It also comes with a black pressure gauge that indicates when the boiler is ready to use.

One downside to this small machine is that the drip tray and water reservoir are smaller than most other machines. This means that you will be more cautious about emptying and refilling the machine, particularly when you are using it regularly. This is a natural trade-off for having a smaller footprint, though it is not a problem particular to this model.

This machine can easily handle your coffee needs. We suggest buying a good grinder, like the Baratza Sette Giante, to improve consistency and taste. You can also use the machine in conjunction with a Rocket Portafilter to increase the tamping.

As a professional espresso machine, the Rocket Appartamento is capable of making great drinks, and it's simple to make latte art. However, it's worth noting that the machine isn't made for novices and has an enlightening curve for those upgrading from appliance-grade machines. The heat exchange boiler may be a bit tricky to manage, and you will have to master the ins and outs of cooling flushes.

Both the Lelit Bianca and the Rocket Appartamento allow connecting to a water supply, which means you'll always have fresh, cold water that has been filtered for your drinks. The latter, however, has a 2.25-liter water tank, which could be more difficult to refill than some of its competitors.

2. Lavazza A Modo Mio Jolie

As you might expect from the Lavazza machine this one was made with quality in mind. The machine is able to reach the brewing temperature quickly, meaning you can make your first cup in less than 35 seconds. The water tank is also quick and easy to fill and the lid can be removed completely to create a large opening. It can be filled with tap water, depending on what you prefer.

This is the smallest machine within the Lavazza A Modo Mio range however, it still has a lot of punch. It costs less than PS100 at retail and is much less expensive than the Nespresso Essenza or similar machines from SMEG or Desea. The Jolie is a great option for those who do not have the space or money for traditional espresso machines, but still want to experience a real Italian espresso.

The Jolie is easy to use and takes up small counter space. It's as easy as pressing 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 to ensure that you can easily see how much has been dispensed, and you can stop the process at any time if you prefer to drink the pod in smaller amounts.

There's no steam wand available on this model, but you can use an optional milk frother (available separately) to add some creamy froth, if you'd like. The machine is quiet also and can be utilized in a small area or in a kitchen with flatshare without causing any disturbance to anyone else.

They aren't inexpensive, but there's a wide variety of blends to satisfy everyone from mildest to the most demanding espresso drinkers. They are available in the majority of supermarkets, along with regular coffee beans and grounds coffee. You can also buy coffee machine Lavazza A Modo Mio Compatible pods online.

The Jolie and milk is a sleek capsule 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 sheet and a tester box of nine Lavazza pods: six roasted (two Qualita Rossa, two Lungo Dolce and two Delizioso) and two decaffeinated (Dek Cremoso). The machine is small enough to be placed under a cabinet or on a flat surface.

3. Breville BES870XL

At first glance at first glance, the Breville Barista Express looks like an espresso maker that's out of the budget of a majority of consumers. If you're willing to invest the time to learn how to use it this is a fantastic espresso maker for your home that performs better than many of the more expensive models on the market. It's the best value in its class, and is especially good for novices who don't have an espresso machine yet, which could set them back another $100 or more.

This model is a bit below the top of the line for Breville (their Oracle is the most expensive, costing $2,199) however, it's an excellent option for home baristas on a tight budget. It's loaded with customizable features, and even an integrated burr mill to make it more affordable. It is also a single-boiler machine, which means that it can only perform one task at the same time.

Breville is relatively new to the market for espresso machines, has quickly earned a reputation for its high-quality appliances. This machine is no different and has enough control that it can be adjusted to let baristas who are aspiring improve their skills without spending more than they need to.

The unit is not without its flaws. The hopper is situated on the side, not on the top of the model. It's not a huge deal, but can be a hassle if you need to disperse multiple shots at once. It's also not very easy to know how much water is left in the tank, because of its rear position.

But if you're prepared to learn how to master the Breville Barista Express, it's an ideal, all-purpose machine for anyone who loves espresso at home. The only drawback to the Breville Barista Express is its cost which could be a hindrance for certain buyers. If you're looking for an affordable option, we recommend the Gaggia Classic and the La Pavoni Impresso. Both are equally capable and offer a bit more control than the Barista Express, but they'll cost only a fraction of the price. Breville model can do.

4. OXO Brew 9 Cup

A high-tech smart coffee machine for office maker with a user-friendly interface that makes great coffee machine home. The sleek stainless steel design with backlit LED screen gives your kitchen a sophisticated design. It comes with a single dial that allows you to program the amount of cups. There are two settings available: 2-4 cups and 5-9 cups. The brewing method is similar to pour-over, which most Coffee Machine Commercial enthusiasts believe makes the most delicious coffee. The water is heated to a perfect temperature and then poured over grounds using a showerhead to ensure uniform saturation. The coffee brewed is then stored in the thermal, double-walled carafe for upto 60 minutes. The pause-and-pour function lets you remove the carafe while making your coffee and filling it with the right amount. The machine stops the brewing process, and displays the red light on its LED interface, until you return the carafe. It then resumes brewing.

The OXO 9-Cup coffee maker comes SCAA certified, which means it meets the organization’s strict standards in terms of technology. Its brew cycles are about the same as the Bodum Bistro and the Technivorm Moccamaster 741 but it allows for more control over temperature and brewing times.

In our tests in our testing, the OXO Brew 9-Cup produced an excellent drip coffee and a full-carafe in just 7 minutes and 41 seconds. This is slightly more than the time that the Bonavita Connoisseur or the Moccamaster requires, but within the range that coffee experts suggest for making a quality cup.

It is also necessary to grind your beans before brewing. You can make use of an old-fashioned coffee grinder or go for a more automated model, such as the Baratza Encore, which has different grind settings and a hopper that holds whole beans.

The only drawback is that the carafe and the water reservoirs aren't dishwasher safe and could cause problem for certain users. The stainless steel can be cleaned by hand. The OXO Brew 9-Cup's sleek design and easy-to-use interface make it one of the top contenders among best drip coffee makers.
