There is no single-size-fits all
coffee machine automatic maker that is perfect for every. We've compiled our top picks, starting with a superautomatic that grinds your beans and packs them to a semiautomatic which gives you the most control over your espresso.
The Breville Oracle Touch strikes the perfect balance between automatizing the process and needing you to be familiar with the art of making espresso. It's the most efficient bean-to-cup machine we've found.
1. Rocket Appartamento
Rocket Appartamento is a top pick for those looking to make espresso at home without making big sacrifices in terms of quality. This small-footprint espresso machine was created for those who have limited counter space. It is built to last and has excellent quality with a compact footprint. It comes equipped with an 1.8-liter copper heat exchange boiler and commercial E61 group head so you can steam milk while making espresso at the same time.
The machine looks stunning as well and features a round side panel insert with engravings of steam and hot water spouts. This is a fresh update on Rocket's classic aesthetic and is already impressive for a compact machine. It also has a black pressure gauge that will let you know when the boiler is ready for use.
The drip tray and the water reservoir tray are smaller on this model than others. You will need to be careful when emptying and re-filling the machine. This is especially the case if you use it frequently. This is a natural trade-off for having smaller footprint, however, and not an issue particular to this model.
This machine is able to handle your
coffee making machine needs. That being said, we would recommend investing in a quality grinder, like the Baratza Sette Giante, for increased consistency and flavor. You can also use this machine in conjunction with an Rocket portafilter to improve the grinding process.
Rocket Appartamento, as a prosumer machine, can make some great drinks and it is easy to make latte arts. However, it's worth noting that the machine isn't made for beginners and there's an enlightening curve for those upgrading from appliance-grade machines. The heat exchange boiler can be a bit difficult to manage, and you will have to learn the ins and outs of cooling flushes.
Both the Lelit Bianca and the Rocket Appartamento allow connecting to a water supply, which allows you to always have clean, cold filtered water on hand for your drinks. The latter has smaller 2.25-liter tank that can be harder to refill.
2. Lavazza A Modo Mio Jolie
As you might expect from the Lavazza machine this one was designed with quality in mind. It is quick to reach brewing temperature, allowing you to make your first cup of coffee in just 35 minutes. The water tank is quick and simple to refill by removing the lid completely to reveal a large opening. You can even fill it up with tap water if you prefer.
This is the smallest machine within the Lavazza A Modo Mio range and yet it has a lot of punch. When you buy it at full cost, it's less than PS100 - which is less than the Nespresso Essenza and similar machines from SMEG and Desea. The Jolie is a great alternative for those who do not have the space or funds for an espresso machine of the traditional type however, they still want to experience an authentic Italian espresso.
The Jolie is easy to use and takes up little counter space. Pressing one button will begin the process. Pressing it again will begin dispensing the specific pod you've chosen. The button has a backlight so you can see how much you have consumed. You can also stop the process, in case you wish to drink the pod in smaller quantities.
The model isn't equipped with a steam wand, however, you can add creamy froth to your milk using an optional milk frother. The machine is quiet also, and can be used in a small area or in a flatshare kitchen without disturbing others.
They're not inexpensive, but there's a wide variety of blends to choose from that will satisfy everyone from the mildest to the most demanding espresso drinkers. They are available in most supermarkets, along with regular coffee beans and
ground coffee machine coffee and you can also purchase Lavazza A Modo Mio compatible pods online.
The Jolie and milk is a sleek capsule machine that comes with an integrated milk warmer. It includes a 75cm plug and power cable, a warranty card and a quick reference, and a test pack of nine Lavazza pods. Six are roasted (two Qualita Rossa and two Lungo Dolce) and two are decaffeinated. The machine is compact enough to fit under a cabinet or on a flat surface.
3. Breville BES870XL
At first glance at first, the Breville Barista Express looks like an espresso machine that is beyond the budget of most average consumers. But if you're willing to put in the work to master its use, this is an excellent espresso maker for home use that performs better than some of the more expensive models available. It's the best value in its class, and it's especially suitable for those who do not have an espresso maker yet. This could easily cost them $100 or more.
This model is priced below the top-of-the-line Breville Oracle (the most expensive at $2199) However, it's an excellent option 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 machine, which means it can only be used for steaming or brewing at the same time.
Despite being a relative newcomer to the market of espresso machines, Breville has quickly made an impact by offering top-quality equipment. This machine is no exception and it comes with enough control to let budding baristas hone their skills without spending hundreds more than necessary.
There are some quirks however. The hopper is on the side, not on the top, of this model. It's not a big issue, but it can be frustrating if you want to disperse several shots at once. The rear position of the tank makes it difficult to know how much liquid remains.
If you're willing to spend some time learning how to master the Breville Barista Express, it's an excellent, all-purpose appliance for anyone who loves espresso at home. The only drawback to the Breville Barista Express is its price, which may be a deterrent for certain buyers. For those looking for a less expensive alternative, take a look at 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.
