1. Rocket Appartamento

Rocket Appartamento is a top choice for those looking to make espresso at home without having to make big sacrifices in terms of quality. This espresso machine for the prosumer is designed with a limited counter space in mind and is built in coffee machine to last with a high-end build quality and the smallest footprint. It comes equipped with a 1.8-liter copper heat exchange boiler and commercial E61 group head so you can steam milk and make espresso at the same time.

The machine looks fantastic as well and features a round side panel insert with the engraved steam and hot water spouts. This is an update to Rocket's traditional design which is already impressive for a small appliance. It also has an black pressure gauge that will let you know when the boiler is ready to use.

The drip tray and the water reservoir tray are smaller on this machine than other models. This means that you will have to be vigilant about emptying and refilling the machine, particularly when you are using it regularly. This is a natural tradeoff for a smaller footprint, though this is not a problem particular to this model.

This machine can easily handle your coffee demands. That being said, we would recommend investing in a quality grinder, such as the Baratza Sette Gigante for greater consistency and flavor. You can also pair this machine with the Rocket portafilter to help improve the process of tamping.

As a prosumer espresso machine The Rocket Appartamento is capable of making delicious drinks, and it's easy to make latte art. However, it's worth noting that the machine was not designed for beginners, and there is some learning curve for those who are upgrading from appliance-grade machines. The heat exchanger is difficult to work with and you'll have to master the art 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 able to drink cold pure, purified water. The latter, however, has a 2.25-liter water tank that is more difficult to fill than its competitors.

2. Lavazza A Modo Mio Jolie

As you might expect from a Lavazza machine this one was designed with quality in mind. The machine reaches the brewing temperature quickly, which means you can make your first cup in less than 35 second. The water tank is also fast and easy to refill by removing the lid completely to reveal a large opening. You can also fill it up with tap water if that's what you prefer.

This is the smallest machine of the Lavazza A Modo Mio range however, it still has a lot of punch. It's priced less than PS100 at the full price - that's less than the Nespresso Essenza or similar machines from SMEG or Desea. The Jolie is a great choice for those who do not have the space or money for traditional espresso machines however still want to enjoy a real Italian espresso.

The Jolie is incredibly simple to use and occupies very little counter space. You only need to press one button to start the machine, then again to begin dispensing the chosen pod. The button is illuminated to let you know the amount you've consumed. You can also stop the process in case you wish to drink the pod in smaller portions.

There's no steam wand available on this model, however you can use an optional milk frother (available separately) to add some creamy froth if you like. The machine is also quite quiet and can be used to make coffee in a small kitchen working space.

The pods are not cheap, but they come in a wide range of blends that can be used by all - from the lightest espresso drinker to the most demanding. They are available in most supermarkets alongside regular ground coffee and coffee beans and you can also purchase Lavazza A Modo Mio compatible pods on the internet.

The Jolie and milk is a sleek capsule that has an integrated milk warmer. It comes with a 75cm power cord and plug as well as a quick-guide and warranty card, as well as a test box of nine Lavazza pods which include six roasts (two Qualita Rossa, two Lungo Dolce and two Delizioso) and two decaffeinated (Dek Cremoso). The machine is small enough to fit under a cupboard or on the floor.

3. Breville BES870XL

The Breville Barista Express appears to be a high-priced espresso machine. If you're willing and able master it this is a great home espresso maker. It's more efficient than most of the more expensive models. It's a good value for the money and is particularly useful for beginners who don't yet own an espresso machine, which can cost up to $100.

This model is a bit in the middle of the line for Breville (their Oracle is the most expensive, costing $2,199) However, it's a solid choice for home baristas on a tight budget. It delivers plenty of tweakable features, and it even comes with a built in coffee machine-in burr grinder, making the whole experience much more affordable. It's also a single boiler machine, which means that it can only do steaming or brewing at one time.

Despite being a relative newcomer to the market of espresso machines, Breville has quickly made a name for themselves with their high-quality appliances. This machine is no different and has enough adjustable control to let aspiring baristas burnish their abilities without spending more than they need to.

It's not without its flaws, though. The hopper is situated on the side, not at the top of the model. It's not a huge problem, but it could be a problem if you wish to give several shots at a time. It's also not very easy to determine how much water is left in the tank due to its rear placement.

If you're willing some time in learning how to make use of the Breville Barista Express then it's an excellent option for any coffee lover at home. The only issue is the price, which could be a turnoff for some buyers. If you're looking for a less expensive alternative, read 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 cost less than the cost.

4. OXO Brew 9 Cup

A high-tech smart machine for pro coffee machines with a simple user interface that makes great portable coffee machine. Its sleek stainless steel design and backlit LED display add an elegant appearance to your kitchen. It comes with one dial that allows you to program the number of cups. There are two settings available: 2-4 cups and 5-9 cups. Its brewing method is similar to pour-over, which most coffee lovers believe makes the best-tasting coffee. The water is heated to a perfect temperature and poured over the grounds using a showerhead to ensure uniform saturation. The coffee is then brewed in the double-walled, thermal carafe for up to 60 minutes. The pause and pour function allows you to remove the carafe in brewing and fill your individual cup. The machine pauses the brewing process and displays an red light on its LED interface, until you return the carafe. The machine then begins brewing.

The OXO 9-Cup coffee maker comes SCAA certified, which means it meets the strict standards in terms of technology. The brew cycles it uses are the same as the Bodum Bistro and the Technivorm Moccamaster 741 but it allows for more control over temperature and brewing time.

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

It also requires that you grind your own beans before brewing. You can make use of a manual coffee grinder or go for a more automated model like the Baratza Encore, which has different grind settings and an hopper that can hold 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 easy to clean by hand, though. The OXO 9-Cup is a leading contender for the top drip coffee maker because of its sleek design and easy-to use interface.
