Best Coffee Espresso Machines

You turn the knob, press the button, and a delicious cup of coffee is at your fingertips. This machine won't be a winner in any beauty contests, but it can make a wonderful cup of espresso. Our testers found that the taste was more like coffee than other machines.

It also requires more work than other models we have reviewed. But, it's worth the effort for the hands-off Java enthusiast.

1. Nespresso Vertuo Plus

The Nespresso Vertuo Plus will be the best Nespresso machine for you if you're an avid coffee drinker who is seeking consistency and efficiency. The Vertuo Plus has a minimalist design that blends with your kitchen decor and is easy to use. Simply place a capsule in and press brew to enjoy your beverage. The machine will automatically adjust the brewing parameters to maximize extraction in accordance with the barcode on the capsule. This is a major benefit for Nespresso Vertuo, as you don't have to worry about adjusting different temperatures or pressures for each type. However, it does restrict your options to Nespresso pods only and does not come with a built-in milk frother.

The Vertuo Plus uses Nespresso Centrifusion to create a smooth and rich crema. The machine spins up to 7000rpm in order to get all the flavors and aromas from each capsule. It also heats and dispensates water at the same time, making it possible to make American drip coffee or mini espresso machine.

The Vertuo Plus is more affordable than the Creatista Pro, which makes it the perfect choice for those who are looking for a basic upgrade to their current Nespresso experience. The Vertuo Plus features smaller water tanks, which are 40 ounces, as opposed to the premium model's 60 ounces. If you plan to make large quantities of drinks or have guests and guests, then the premium model might be the better choice for you.

2. Barista Express Impress

Breville's Barista Express Impress is an eye-catching machine with a premium design and practical features. Its smart dosing and assisted tamping help beginners to speed up the process by automating parts of it, making it simple for anyone to make a decent espresso. It also allows for small adjustments to water temperature. This is something that baristas with more experience appreciate, as even just a few degrees can alter the taste of the espresso.

The machine comes with a conical burr grinder that is of top quality with 25 grind settings for any kind of coffee. The machine also comes with a stainless steel milk jug as well with double-wall and single-wall filter baskets for one- and two cup sizes. You can also make use of the frothing arm to make micro-foam for cappuccinos and lattes.

The interface of the espresso machine is simple to navigate and clearly explains each step. We also liked the fact that the machine is made of robust plastic that doesn't consume much. It's not cheap espresso machine, but it's definitely a well-made and feature-packed machine that will last for a long time to be. It comes with an excellent warranty that covers mechanical problems up to a year after the date of purchase. This is pretty impressive for a machine this price. It's definitely worth the money should you decide to try your hand at making espresso regularly.

3. Gaggia Classic

Gaggia Classic was launched in 1991. It quickly gained a cult-like following for its ease of use and ability to make a delicious cup of espresso. Nearly three decades later, it's returned better than ever thanks to the new Classic Pro. Although the Classic Pro isn't as advanced as the other entry-level machines, it is still capable of producing espresso that is cafe-quality with the top-of-the-line portafilter and group. But as an individual boiler machine, you can't brew and steam at the same time and will need to wait a while between pulling a shot.

With a sleek and industrial design that looks stylish and feels solid in your hands, the Classic Pro features simple switches for On/Off, brewing/steam and specific indicator lights, making it simple to get acquainted with. The frame and switches of the Classic Pro are more durable, resulting in it an exceptional feel.

In terms of accessories, the Classic Pro doesn't come with much, except for the commercial-standard portafilter 58 millimeter and the plastic tamper are a nice addition. A 3-way solenoid is another useful feature. It helps prevent water pressure fluctuations and helps get rid of sloppy retro espresso machine pucks, something that cheaper machines are unable to do. Gaggia has also added a professional-looking steam wand that does a great job of frothing milk to create latte art.
