The best coffee machines for home (read this blog post from Projecthomelab)

There's no universally-fit-all coffee maker. We've rounded up our top picks for the home, from a super-automatic that grinds and packs your beans to a semiautomatic that gives you the most control over your espresso.

The Breville Oracle Touch strikes the perfect balance between automation and having to know the ropes of espresso-making. It's the best bean-to-cup machine we've seen.

1. Rocket Appartamento

Rocket Appartamento makes a great choice for those looking to make espresso at home without having to compromise on quality. This espresso machine with a small footprint was designed for those who have limited counter space. It is built to last and has excellent quality and a compact footprint. It is equipped with an 1.8-liter copper heat exchange boiler as well as a commercial E61 group head, so you can steam milk while making espresso simultaneously.

The machine looks fantastic and has a circular panel on the side with the steam engraved and hot water spouts. This is a new take on the classic look of Rocket, which is already pretty impressive for a machine that is so small. It also has the black pressure gauge, which will let you know when the boiler is ready to use.

One downside to this small machine is that the drip tray and water reservoir are smaller than the majority of machines. You'll need be cautious when emptying and re-filling the machine. This is especially the case if you use it frequently. This is a sacrifice that results in smaller footprint. It's not a problem specific to this model.

You can still brew plenty of coffee with this machine, and it is able to easily keep up with your demands. However, we would recommend investing in a quality grinder, like the Baratza Sette Giante, for increased consistency and flavor. You can also pair the machine with an Rocket Portafilter to enhance the tamping.

As a professional espresso machine The Rocket Appartamento is capable of making delicious drinks, and it's easy to make the latte art. It's important to note that the machine was not designed for beginners and has some learning curve for those who are upgrading from appliance-grade machines. The heat exchange boiler can be a little tricky to operate, and you will have to learn the ins and outs of cooling flushes.

Both the Lelit Bianca as well as the Rocket Appartamento have the option to connect to an water source, which allows you to be in a position to drink cold and purified water. The latter comes with smaller 2.25-liter tank that is difficult to refill.

2. Lavazza A Modo Mio Jolie

This machine is built to Lavazza's highest standards. The machine can reach the temperature of brewing quickly, meaning you can make your first cup in just 35 second. The water tank is able to be filled with ease, since the lid can be removed to make an enormous hole. You can also fill it with tap water if that's what you prefer.

This is the smallest machine of the Lavazza A Modo Mio range, but it still is a powerful machine. It costs less than PS100 at retail - that's less than the Nespresso Essenza or similar machines from SMEG or Desea. The Jolie is a great alternative for those who don't have the space or funds for a traditional espresso machine however still want to enjoy an authentic Italian espresso.

The Jolie is incredibly simple to use and occupies just a little counter space. You just need to press one button to turn on the machine, and then press it again to begin dispensing your chosen pod. The button is illuminated to let you know the amount you've consumed. You can also manually stop the process, should you prefer to consume the pod in smaller portions.

The model isn't equipped with a steam wand however, you can add creamy frosting to your milk by using an optional milk frother. The machine is very quiet, too, and can be used in a small area or in a flatshare kitchen without disturbing others.

They aren't inexpensive, but there's an array of blends to satisfy everyone from mildest to the most demanding espresso drinkers. They are available in many supermarkets, as well as regular coffee beans and grounds coffee. You can also buy Lavazza A Modo Mio Compatible pods online.

The Jolie and milk is a sleek capsule that has an integrated milk warmer. It comes with a 75cm plug and power cable, a warranty sheet and a quick reference, and a tester pack comprising nine Lavazza pods. Six are roasts (two Qualita Rossa and two Lungo Dolce) and two are decaffeinated. The machine is small enough to be stored on an even surface or placed under the cabinet.

3. Breville BES870XL

The Breville Barista Express appears to be a high-priced espresso machine. If you're willing and able learn how to use it this is a great home espresso maker. It performs better than most of the more expensive models. It's a good value for its class and is particularly helpful for those who aren't experienced enough to have an espresso maker that can cost up to $100.

This model is a bit below the top of the range for Breville (their Oracle is the most expensive model at $2,199) However, it's a solid choice for baristas at home on a budget. It delivers plenty of tweakable features, and includes an integrated burr grinder that makes the whole experience much more affordable. It is also a single-boiler machine, meaning it can only do one thing at one time.

Despite being a relative newcomer to the market for espresso machines, Breville has quickly made an impact with their high-quality appliances. This machine is no exception, and it offers just enough control that it can be adjusted to allow aspiring baristas to improve their skills without spending more than they need to.

There are some quirks however. One example is that the hopper on this model is placed on the side of the unit, instead of on top--which isn't significant however it can be frustrating if you're trying to dispense multiple shots at once. The rear placement of the tank makes it difficult to see the amount of liquid left.

If you're willing to invest some time learning how to master the Breville Barista Express, it's a great, do-it-all appliance for any home espresso lover. The only drawback to the Breville Barista Express is the price, which may be a hindrance for some buyers. For those looking for a lower-cost option, check out our review of the Gaggia Classic or the La Pavoni Impresso. Both machines have similar capabilities and offer a little more control than the Barista Express. However, they are a fraction of the price.

In our testing we found that the OXO Brew 9-Cup produced an excellent drip coffee and a full cup in just 7 minutes and 41 seconds. It's slightly longer than the 6 minutes or less that the Bonavita Connoisseur and the Moccamaster require but well within the range of time that experts in the field suggest for a decent cup of drip.

It also requires you to grind your own beans before making. You can choose an manual grinder or a more automated model like the Baratza Encore. It has various grind settings, as well as it has a hopper that can be used for whole beans.

The only drawback to this product is that it's not dishwasher safe. This could pose a problem for some users. The stainless steel is still easily cleaned by hand, though. The OXO 9-Cup is a top contender for the best drip coffee maker due to its sleek design and easy to use interface.
