Deals on Espresso Machines

We’ll start with the strong stuff. If espresso, lattes, or cappuccino are what you’re after, these are the best we’ve tested.

A Sophisticated Bean-to-Cup Option

Italian coffee titan De’Longhi has created something close to automated perfection here. the Rivelia is the best automatic latte and cappuccino maker we’ve tested. And we do mean automatic. It will grind, brew, froth up milk, and deliver as many as 18 different variations on espresso, latte, cappuccino, and iced-coffee drinks. Our main gripe is that all that can be overwhelming, but then, that’s kind of a good problem to have.

The Beginner-Friendly Semiautomatic

This semiautomated espresso machine (7/10, WIRED Review) made the quad shot I’m drinking right now. It’s not quite a coffee shop-level pull (nothing home-brewed ever is), but it’s close enough. It also makes a good cup of drip coffee and cold brew as well. If you want want a machine that can do it all, and do it well, this is a good choice. It’s also very beginner-friendly, you don’t have to be a barista to get good results.

Moccamaster

KBGV Select Coffee Maker

A stalwart from our “buy-it-for-life” guide, the Moccamaster is crafted from metal, steel, and copper and is designed to last a lifetime. The warranty goes five years, and the machine is fully repairable even after that’s over. The appeal, beyond longevity, lies in its precision. The Moccamaster can hold brewing temperatures within a variance of 4 degrees Celsius and extract coffee within very tight parameters. This will make you great cups of coffee, probably for longer than you’ll be around to drink them.

For Keeping It Simple

Espro’s P7 uses double mesh strainers that lock together and uses two seals on top of that. There’s no sediment to be found here, just a nice bold cup of coffee. The spout could be bigger, but so long as you pour slowly, it’s not a big deal.

Coffee Pod Machines and Coffee Concentrates

Coffee! Coffee now! For those with no patience for the art hassle of brewing fancy coffee, we have pod machines, which eliminate the guesswork and deliver the caffeine right freaking now. If even that is too slow, try a concentrate.

A Pod Maker That Looks Great

The Bruvi BV-01 is our favorite pod coffee maker. It’s not too big, and looks nice on your kitchen counter. The proprietary B-Pods are unfortunately only sold online as of now, but they come in coffee, tea, and espresso varieties, and they’re meant to biodegrade in a landfill.

The Minimalist’s Pick

The OG coffee pod brewer, the K-Mini does a solid job at what it’s meant to do: brewing exactly one cup of coffee. It’s not the best coffee you’ve ever had, but it’s also not the worst. It gets the job done, and in our testing these machines will last a surprisingly long time.

For Lightning-Quick Caffeine

Javvy (formerly “Javy”) comes in a wide range of flavors and isn’t overly sweet. You only need a teaspoon or two for a full 8-ounce cup, and the original flavor is smooth enough that you can almost forget you’re drinking a concentrate, with no bitter or funny aftertaste.

Maximum Buzz

If it’s caffeine you’re after, this is the juice you want. It packs 150 milligrams of caffeine into a single tablespoon-size serving. Somehow manages to not taste too acidic or bitter either, which is an achievement.
