1. Rocket Appartamento
Rocket Appartamento makes a great choice for those who are looking to make espresso at their home without sacrificing quality. This prosumer espresso machine is designed with limited counter space in mind and is built to last with a high-end build quality and tiny footprint. It comes equipped with an 1.8-liter copper heat exchange boiler and commercial E61 group head so you can steam milk and brew espresso simultaneously.
The machine also looks great and features a round insert on the side panel with engravings of steam and hot water spouts. This is a fresh update on the classic look of Rocket that is already impressive for a compact machine. It also has the black pressure gauge, which will let you know when the boiler is ready for use.
One downside to this small machine is that the drip tray and reservoir for water are smaller than the majority of machines. This means you'll have to be vigilant about emptying and refilling the machine, especially when you are using it regularly. This is a normal trade-off to have less footprint, however, and not an issue particular to this model.
You can still make a large amount of
Coffee Machine Pro using this machine, and it can easily meet the demands. However, we would suggest investing in a good grinder, like the Baratza Sette Gigante, for increased consistency and flavor. You can also use this machine in conjunction with an Rocket portafilter to enhance the process of tamping.
Rocket Appartamento, as a prosumer machine, can create delicious drinks and it is simple to make latte arts. It is important to remember that this machine was not designed for beginners. There is a slight 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 learn how to do cooling flushes.
Both the Lelit Bianca and the Rocket Appartamento allow connecting to a water source, which means you'll always have cold, fresh filtering water available for your drinks. The latter comes with smaller 2.25-liter tank that can be more difficult to refill.
2. Lavazza A Modo Mio Jolie
This machine is built to Lavazza's highest standards. The machine is able to reach the brewing temperature quickly, which means you can make your first cup in just 35 second. The water tank is also fast and easy to refill by removing the lid completely to create a large opening. You can fill it with tap water, depending on what you prefer.
The Lavazza A Modo Mio is the smallest of the models, but it packs a punch. When you buy it at full price, it's priced at PS100 which is less than the Nespresso Essenza and similar machines from SMEG and Desea. This makes the Jolie an ideal choice for those who don't have the money or space for an espresso maker, but who want to get their fix of authentic Italian espresso.
The Jolie is simple to use and occupies very little counter space. By pressing a single button, you can start the machine. Pressing it again will start dispensing the specific pod you've chosen. There's a backlight on the button so that you can easily see how much has been dispensed and you can also manually stop the process should you prefer to drink your drink in smaller portions.
The model isn't equipped with a steam wand but you can add some creamy froth to your milk using an optional milk frother. The machine is quiet, too and can be utilized in a small area or in a kitchen with flatshare without disturbing anyone else.
They're not expensive, but there's a variety of blends to choose from to suit everyone from the mildest to the most demanding espresso drinkers. They are sold in most supermarkets alongside regular ground coffee and coffee beans and you can also purchase Lavazza A Modo Mio compatible pods on the internet.
The Jolie and Milk is a stylish capsule machine with an integrated milk warmer and frother. It comes in a box with an 75cm power cable, plug along with a quick-guide as well as a warranty sheet, and a test box of nine Lavazza pods: six roasts (two Qualita Rossa, two Lungo Dolce and two Delizioso) and two decaffeinated (Dek Cremoso). The machine itself is small enough to be able to be stowed on an even surface or placed under your cabinet.
3. Breville BES870XL
At first glance at first, the Breville Barista Express looks like an espresso machine that's beyond the budget of most average consumers. If you're willing and able master it, then this is a great home espresso maker. It's far superior to most of the more expensive models. It's the most affordable in its class, and is especially suitable for those who don't have an espresso grinder yet, which could cost them another $100 or more.
This model is a bit in the middle 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 budget. It has a lot 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 the same time.
Despite being a relative newcomer to the market of espresso machines, Breville has quickly made a name for themselves through their top-quality machines. This machine isn't an exception, and it offers just enough adjustable control to let baristas who are aspiring improve their abilities without spending more than they have to.
There are some quirks however. For instance, the hopper on this model is positioned on the side of the unit instead of being on top. This isn't really significant, but it can be a little annoying if you're trying disperse multiple shots at a time. The rear placement of the tank makes it difficult to know how much liquid remains.
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 is a coffee lover at home. The only drawback is the price, which can be a deterrent for certain buyers. If you're looking for a low-cost alternative, we recommend the Gaggia Classic and the La Pavoni Impresso. Both are equally powerful and offer a little more control than the Barista Express, but they'll cost less than the Breville model can do.
