1. Rocket Appartamento
Rocket Appartamento is a great option for those who want to make espresso at home without having to compromise on quality. This espresso machine with a small footprint was created for those with little counter space. It combines excellent build quality and a small footprint. It is equipped with a 1.8 milliliter 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 great as well and features an elongated side panel with engraved hot water and steam spouts. This is a modernization of Rocket's traditional design, which is already impressive for a small appliance. It also comes with a black pressure gauge that will let you know when the boiler is ready for use.
One drawback of this compact machine is that the drip tray and the water reservoir are smaller than most other machines. It is important to be careful when emptying and refilling the machine. This is particularly true in the event that you frequently use it. This is a normal trade-off to have a smaller footprint, though it is not a problem that is unique to this model.
You can still make a large amount of coffee with this machine, and it is able to easily keep up with your demands. We suggest investing in a quality grinder, such as the Baratza Sette Gante, to improve consistency and taste. You can also use this machine in conjunction with the Rocket portafilter to improve the tamping process.
As a prosumer espresso machine, the Rocket Appartamento is capable of making great drinks, and it's simple to make the latte art. However, it's worth noting that the machine isn't made for novices and there's an enlightening curve for those who are upgrading from appliances. The heat exchanger is difficult to work with and you'll have to master the art of cooling flushes.

Six are roasted (two Qualita Rossa and two Lungo Dolce) and two are decaffeinated. The machine is compact enough to fit under a cupboard or flat surfaces.
3. Breville BES870XL

But if you're willing to invest the time to master its use this is a fantastic espresso maker for your home that is more efficient than some of the more expensive models available. It's among the best priced in its class, and is especially good for novices who do not have an espresso maker yet--which can easily set them back another $100 or more.

It's loaded with options to customize and features, including an integrated burr mill, which makes it more affordable. It's also a single boiler machine, which means it can only do one thing at the same time.
Breville, a relative newcomer on the market for espresso machines, has rapidly established a reputation for high-quality appliances. This machine is no exception and has enough control that it can be adjusted to allow aspiring baristas to develop their skills without spending more than they need to.
The unit does not come without its flaws. For instance, the hopper in this model is located on the side of the unit instead of being on top. This isn't really a huge deal, but it can be a little frustrating if you're trying to dispense multiple shots at once. It's also not very easy to determine how much water remains in the tank, because of its rear position.
If you're willing to put in some time in learning how to make use of the Breville Barista Express then it's an excellent option for any
fresh coffee maker lover at home. The only downside is the cost, which can be a turnoff for certain buyers. If you're looking for a budget alternative, we suggest the Gaggia Classic and the La Pavoni Impresso. Both machines are comparable in their capabilities and offer a bit more control than the Barista Express. However, they cost less than the cost.
