Coffee machines

The coffee machines in this category cover every way of making espresso at home or in the office: manual machines for ground coffee and ESE pods, capsule machines and bean-to-cup automatic machines that grind fresh beans for every cup.

Start from the coffee you use: bean-to-cup machines with a built-in grinder offer the most convenience with whole beans, capsule and pod machines are quick and clean, and manual machines give you more control over dose and extraction. Then consider water tank capacity, a milk frother or cappuccino system and the footprint on your worktop. Available brands include De'Longhi, Philips, Krups, Saeco and Faber.
