Despite their relatively high prices, not all coffee machines make a great espresso 鈥� and our testing shows that the best machines are not always the most expensive models. Our experts put coffee machines through their paces in a lab setting to find the ones that: perform best in a blind taste test, are easy to use and clean, are consistently best for milk frothing and temperature.

This review covers automatic espresso machines only, as opposed to capsule machines or manual/semi-automatic coffee machines. To see how those machines perform, look at our home espresso coffee machine reviews.
