In fact, our experts loved this machine so much that they gave it a spot in our 2022 Kitchen Gear and Coffee Awards. The Spinn Espresso and Coffee Machine is not quite like anything else we’ve tested. Our pros were also amazed with the frothing wand capabilities that produced hot milk with a thick layer of froth. In our tests, the Barista Express Impress made dark, rich shots of espresso with a thick layer of crema. If the grounds are tamped too hard, it makes it harder for the water to pass through the grounds, which yields an overly strong cup, and if it's too loose, it can make a watery brew.) (Tamping affects how the portafilter fits into the unit and also how the water flows through the grounds. It doesn’t stop there either - the assisted tamping function produces a perfectly polished surface that’s tamped at the correct pressure every time, which is important and helpful to newbies who may not know the proper way to tamp. The smart dosing technology automatically detects the correct amount of espresso that’s needed. Our experts were so impressed with this machine that it earned a 2022 Good Housekeeping Coffee Award because it helps you pull the perfect shot of espresso every time. Take note, the brand advises not using dark roasts or oily beans because they can stick to parts of the machine and cause damage.Īspiring beginner baristas or anyone who wants to make the perfect shot of espresso will love this Breville machine. In our tests, the espresso was silky with a golden brown crema. If you want to customize your drink, the espresso maker connects with the SmartHQ app, where you can adjust temperature and grind dosage to your preferences. “My cup” is set to ristretto (smaller and stronger than espresso), but you can change the style in the SmartHQ app. The buttons on the control panel on top of the machine are simple to use, with four options: espresso, americano, my cup or hot water. The frother is easy to clean with a quick wipe, and it’s removable for when you want to give it a deep clean. Additionally, it has a built-in milk frother, and we found in our tests that it was able to produce hot foam quickly. We also love that the water reservoir and hopper are hidden inside the unit, which adds to the sleek look. It’s the smallest and most compact espresso maker with grinder we tested. There’s no getting around the fact that espresso makers with grinders take up quite a bit of counter space, which is why we like Cafe Affetto’s espresso machine. The machine will rinse itself before and after making a drink, though this means the drip tray needs to be emptied frequently. It’s also easy to fill, detach and clean when finished. Our pros loved that the milk container was detachable, so any leftover milk could be stored in the fridge. If you’re craving a milk-based drink, like a cappuccino, the milk carafe froths the milk and adds it to your drink automatically. Our experts found that this machine pulls tasty, hot espresso shots with a thin and creamy crema. The built-in Intelligent Smart-One-Touch feature will remember and list your most frequently brewed drinks and display them on the screen first. You can scroll through 16 drink options on the screen, including flat espresso, flat whites, regular coffee and more. We found the touchscreen very responsive and easy to read thanks to the digital display, which shows the drink along with writing.
Make espresso, lattes and cappuccinos at the push of a button with this super-automatic machine that has a built-in grinder. Overall, we found this machine easy to use and clean. This sleek looking machine is a steal for espresso makers with grinders at under $1,000, but keep in mind that there may be an initial learning curve to get the correct grind size for your ideal shot. Besides a single espresso, it also offers options to make a double espresso or Americano. Our pros loved the espresso the machine produced that was full-bodied with thin, silky crema. (The grind size is just another way you can adjust the taste of your espresso.) You can customize your grind size with eight different settings which we found easy to adjust. Even though this machine is manual, it comes with handy features like the Smart Tamping Station, which ensures you get the correct tamping pressure for your grounds with the press of a lever. (It grinds coffee by passing beans through two burrs versus chopping them with a blade.) It also has a steam wand for frothing milk. It has a built-in burr grinder, which is clouted for being a premium type of coffee grinder compared to blade grinders.
