10 Easy Steps To Start Your Own Best Coffee Machine Business
The Best Coffee Machines For Home
There is no single-size-fits all coffee maker. We've compiled our top picks, starting with a superautomatic that grinds your beans and packs them into semiautomatics that give you the best control over your espresso.
The Breville Oracle Touch strikes a perfect balance between automating the process and making you proficient in the art of espresso-making. It's the best bean-to cup machine we've found.
1. Rocket Appartamento
Rocket Appartamento is a fantastic choice for those looking to make espresso at home without having to compromise on quality. This espresso machine for prosumers is designed with a limited counter space in mind and is built to last with a high-end build quality and the smallest footprint. It comes equipped with an 1.8-liter copper heat exchange boiler and commercial E61 group head, so you can steam milk and make espresso simultaneously.
The machine also looks great and has a round panel on the side with engraved steam and hot water spouts. This is a refreshing update on the classic look of Rocket that is already impressive for a compact machine. It also has the black gauge of pressure in the boiler to show when the boiler is ready to use.
One disadvantage of this tiny machine is that the drip tray and water reservoir are smaller than those of other machines. This means that you'll need to be extra vigilant when emptying and refilling the machine, especially when you are using it regularly. This is a trade-off that comes with having smaller footprint. This is not something that is unique to this model.
This machine is able to handle your coffee demands. That being said, we would suggest purchasing a high-quality grinder, like the Baratza Sette Giante, for greater consistency and flavor. You can also pair this machine with a Rocket portafilter to help improve the tamping process.
Rocket Appartamento, as a prosumer machine, makes delicious drinks and it is simple to make Latte arts. However, it's important to remember that the machine was not designed for novices and there's an enlightening curve for those upgrading from appliance-grade machines. The heat exchanger is difficult to operate, and you'll need to learn how to perform cooling flushes.
Both the Lelit Bianca and the Rocket Appartamento offer the option of connecting to a water supply which allows you to always have cold, fresh filtering water available for your drinks. The latter has a smaller 2.25-liter tank that is more difficult to refill.
2. Lavazza A Modo Mio Jolie
As you would expect from a Lavazza machine, this one is designed with quality in mind. The machine can reach the brewing temperature quickly, so you can make your first cup in just 35 second. The water tank can be easily refilled, as the lid can be removed to create a large hole. You can also fill it up with tap water if you want.
This is the smallest machine within the Lavazza A Modo Mio range and yet it packs a punch. When you buy it at full cost, it's less than PS100 which is lower than the Nespresso Essenza and similar machines from SMEG and Desea. This makes the Jolie an ideal choice for those without the budget or space for a traditional espresso maker, but who are looking to enjoy the benefits of real Italian espresso.
The Jolie is incredibly simple to operate and takes up only a tiny amount of counter space. Pressing a single button will activate the machine. When you press it again, it will start dispense the pod you have selected. There's a light on the button so that you can clearly see the amount of dispensed and you can also manually stop the process if you prefer to drink your drink in smaller portions.
The model isn't equipped with a steam wand, but you can add some creamy froth to your milk using an optional milk frother. The machine is quiet also and can be utilized in a small workspace or in a flatshare kitchen without disturbing anyone else.
The pods are not expensive, but they are available in a wide range of blends that can be used by anyone from the mildest espresso drinker to the most demanding. They are available in many supermarkets, as well as regular coffee machine for latte beans and grounds household coffee machines. You can also purchase Lavazza A Modo Mio Compatible pods on the internet.
The Jolie and Milk is a smart-looking capsule machine with an integrated milk warmer and frother. It comes with a 75cm power plug and power cable, a warranty document and a quick reference, and a tester pack of nine Lavazza pods. Six are roasted (two Qualita Rossa and two Lungo Dolce) and two are decaffeinated. The machine is small enough to be stored on a flat surface or slipped under your cupboard.
3. Breville BES870XL
At first glance at first, the Breville Barista Express looks like an espresso machine that is not within the budget of a majority of consumers. If you're willing to master it and make it work, then this is a great at-home espresso maker. It's far superior to most of the more expensive models. It's the most affordable in its class, and it's particularly suitable for beginners who don't have an espresso machine yet--which can easily cost them $100 or more.
This model is a bit in the middle of the range for Breville (their Oracle is the most expensive, costing $2,199) however, it's an excellent option for baristas at home who are on a tight budget. It comes with plenty of adjustable features, and it even includes an integrated burr grinder to make the whole experience much more affordable. It's also a single boiler machine, which means it can only do one thing at a time.
Although it is a relatively newcomer to the market for espresso machines, Breville has quickly made their mark through their top-quality machines. This machine is no different and offers enough control that it can be adjusted to let baristas who are aspiring burnish their skills without spending hundreds of dollars more than they should.
It's not without its quirks however. The hopper is situated on the side, not the top, of this model. It's not a major problem, but it could be a problem if you wish to dispense several shots at a time. It's also difficult to see the amount of water left in the tank due to its rear placement.
But if you're prepared to spend some time learning how to master the Breville Barista Express, it's an ideal, all-purpose machine for anyone who is a professional coffee machine lover at Home Coffee Machines. The only issue is the price, which could be a turnoff for some buyers. If you're looking for a budget alternative, we recommend the Gaggia Classic and the La Pavoni Impresso. Both machines are similar in capability and offer a little more control than the Barista Express. However, they cost a fraction of the price.
4. OXO Brew 9-Cup
A high-tech smart machine for coffee with a simple user interface that produces excellent coffee. The sleek stainless steel design and backlit LED display creates a chic kitchen design. It comes with one dial that allows you to program the number of cups. There are two settings: 2-4 cups and 5-9 cups. The brewing method is similar to pour-over that many coffee enthusiasts believe makes the most delicious coffee. The water is heated to the ideal temperature and poured over the grounds using a showerhead to ensure uniform saturation. The coffee is collected in the double-walled thermal carafe, which can be stored for up to 60 min. The pause and pour function lets you remove the carafe in brewing and fill your individual cup. The machine stops the brewing process, and displays the red light on its LED interface, until you return the carafe. It then resumes the brewing process.
The OXO 9-Cup coffee maker comes SCAA certified, which means it meets the organization’s strict standards in terms of technology. Its brew cycles are about the same as those of the Bodum Bistro and Technivorm Moccamaster 741 but it lets you control the temperature and brewing time.
In our testing in our testing, the OXO Brew 9-Cup brewed a pot of excellent drip coffee that was served in a full-carafe of coffee in 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 that coffee machine for home experts suggest for a decent cup of drip.
It also requires that you grind your own beans prior to brewing. You can opt for either a manual grinder or an automated model like the Baratza Encore. It has different grind settings and a hopper for whole beans.
The only downside to this product is that it's not dishwasher safe. This could be a concern for some users. The stainless steel can be cleaned by hand. The OXO 9-Cup is a top contender for the top drip coffee maker because of its sleek design and easy-to use interface.
