Best Coffee Espresso Machines Turn a knob, then press an on to make delicious coffee. It's not going to win any beauty contests, but it can make a tasty cup of espresso that our test subjects discovered to be more coffee-like than other machines. It also takes more effort than the other models we've reviewed. Still, it's worth the effort for the hands-off Java lover. 1. Nespresso Vertuo Plus The Nespresso Vertuo Plus is the most efficient Nespresso machine to buy if you're a coffee lover seeking efficiency and consistency. The Vertuo Plus is easy to operate and features a minimalist design that blends with any kitchen design. Place a capsule in the machine and press the button to brew your beverage. The machine recognizes the barcode of the capsule, and then adjusts the brewing parameters for optimal extraction. This is a major advantage for Nespresso Vertuo, as you do not have to worry about adjusting the temperature or pressures for every type. It does, however, limit your options to Nespresso pods only and doesn't include a built in milk frother. The Vertuo Plus uses Nespresso Centrifusion to create a rich and smooth crema. The machine spins at up 7000 rpm to get the full range of aromas and flavors from each capsule. It also serves hot water at the same time as it heats, which allows you to make American-style drip coffee as well as espresso. The Vertuo plus is less expensive than Creatista Pro. This makes it an ideal upgrade for those looking to improve their Nespresso experience. The Vertuo Plus has 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 share with guests or entertain guests, then the deluxe model might be the better choice for you. 2. Barista Express Impress Breville's Barista Express Impress is an striking machine that is adorned with a high-end design and practical features. Its smart dosing system and assisted tamping help novices automatize certain steps of the process, making it simpler to make a good espresso. It also allows for small adjustments to the temperature of the water. This is something baristas who are more experienced appreciate as even the slightest change in temperature can drastically alter the flavor of the espresso. The machine features a high-end conical burr grinder, which provides 25 grind settings to accommodate any type of coffee. coffeee comes with a stainless steel milk jug and two-cup single- and double-wall filter baskets, so you can select how many shots you'll be making at a time. You can also use the frothing arms to create micro-foam for cappuccinos or lattes. We were impressed by the espresso machine's interface is simple to navigate and clearly explains every step of the process. We also liked that it doesn't have a lot of plastic parts and looks quite durable. It's not cheap, but it's definitely a well-built machine with a lot of features that will last for many years to be. It comes with a generous warranty that covers mechanical failures up to a year after the date of purchase. This is quite impressive for a machine this cost. If you're interested in making espresso regularly, it's well worth the investment. 3. Gaggia Classic Gaggia's Classic made its debut in 1991 and quickly developed an cult following due to its simple design and – of course – ability to brew a tasty cup of espresso. More than three decades later, it's back stronger than ever with the new Classic Pro. Although the Classic Pro isn't as advanced as other entry-level machines it is still capable of delivering cafe quality espresso with the portafilter that is professional grade and group. However as only a single boiler machine, it can't brew and steam simultaneously and will need to wait a short time 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 special indicator lights that make it easy to get to grips with. The frame and switches of the Classic Pro are more durable, which gives it an exceptional feel. The Classic Pro comes with few accessories, but the 58 millimeter portafilter is an excellent addition. Also the tamper, made of plastic, is a nice touch. A 3-way solenoid valve is an excellent addition that prevents water pressure fluctuation and helps with getting rid of sloppy coffee pucks – something that cheaper machines struggle with. Gaggia also included the steam wand, which does a great job frothing the milk for latte arts. 4.
