Best Coffee Espresso Machines You turn the knob, press an icon, and a delicious cup of coffee is at your fingertips. It's not going to win any beauty contests, but it can make a wonderful cup of espresso. Our test subjects found that the taste was more like coffee than other machines. It also requires a bit more work to operate than other models we've looked at. However, it's still worth it for those who are an avid Java user who likes to be hands-off. 1. Nespresso Vertuo Plus The Nespresso Vertuo Plus is the most efficient Nespresso machine to buy for those who are seeking efficiency and consistency. The Vertuo Plus is easy to operate and has a minimalistic design that can be incorporated with any kitchen design. Add a capsule, then press the brew button to enjoy your beverage. The machine adjusts the brewing parameters automatically to maximize extraction based on the barcode of the capsule. This is a big selling point for the Nespresso Vertuo line, since it doesn't need to worry about setting different temperatures or pressure for different drinks. However, it limits your options to Nespresso pods and does not include an inbuilt milk frother. The Vertuo Plus uses Nespresso Centrifusion to create a smooth and rich crema. The machine spins up to 7000 rpm, which allows you to extract the full range of aromas and flavors from each capsule. It also pours hot water at the same time while it heats up, which allows you to make drip coffee, as well as espresso. The Vertuo Plus is more affordable than Creatista Pro. This makes it a great upgrade for those who are looking to improve their Nespresso experience. The Vertuo Plus comes with a smaller water tank of 40 ounces, as opposed to the its deluxe counterpart's 60 ounces. If you are planning to make large drinks or to share it with guests, then the deluxe model is probably the best choice for you. 2. Barista Express Impress Breville's Barista Express Impress is an attractive machine that has a stylish design and practical features. Its dosing system is intelligent and assisted tamping makes it easier for beginners to automate elements of the process making it easier for anyone to make a great espresso. It also allows for small adjustments to the temperature of water. This is something baristas with more experience appreciate as even one degree can affect the flavor of the espresso. The machine has an conical burr grinder made of high quality that has 25 grind settings for any type of coffee. It also comes with a stainless-steel milk jug and one-cup and two-cup single-and double-wall filter baskets, so you can select the number of shots you want to make at once. You can also make use of the frothing arm to create micro-foam for cappuccinos or lattes. The interface of the espresso machine is easy to use and clearly explains every step. We also appreciated that the machine doesn't contain a lot of plastic parts and is quite robust. It's not cheap, but it's definitely a well-built and feature-packed machine that will last for a long time to be. It comes with a fantastic warranty that covers mechanical issues up to a year after the date of purchase. This is quite impressive for a machine of this kind of price. If you're planning to make espresso regularly, it's well worth the money. 3. Gaggia Classic Gaggia Classic was introduced in 1991. It quickly gained a cult-like following because of its simplicity and the ability to make a delicious cup of espresso. Almost three decades later it's back stronger than ever thanks to the new Classic Pro. The Classic Pro may not be as modern as some basic machines however, it can make espresso of a professional quality thanks to the professional portafilter and group. However as only a single boiler machine, it will not be able to make espresso and steam at the same time and you'll need to wait a short while between pulling out a shot. With a sleek, industrial design that looks stylish and feels solid in your hands the Classic Pro features simple switches for On/Off, brewing/steam and special indicator lights that make it easy to work with. The frame and switches of the Classic Pro are more durable, which gives it an excellent feel. The Classic Pro comes with few accessories, but the 58-millimeter portafilter is a nice feature. Also the tamper, made of plastic, is a nice extra. A 3-way solenoid is a great addition. It stops water pressure fluctuations and helps eliminate the sloppy espresso pucks that cheaper machines can't do. Gaggia has also added a sleek steam wand that is great at creating a frothy milk drink to create Latte art. 4. De'Longhi COM532M This machine from De'Longhi is a ideal choice for those who want to make barista-quality coffee at home. It has a unique design that makes it easy to use and offers many features. It has a stainless steel boiler, brewhead, and portafilter, as well being a water tank that is removable. The machine is small and can be easily positioned on any counter.
