THERE’S nothing quite like the smell of fresh coffee.
But which coffee machines are the best to buy now? Here we’ve revealed the answer.
But with so many different coffee makers, some requiring a little more hard work than others, which one should you choose for your home?
From the manual options that replicate coffee shop brews, to the simpler filter options, it’s really all down to a matter of personal taste and budget.
We’ve lined up some of the best coffee machines below to narrow down the selection process, so all you need to decide is the style you prefer.
From £39.99 to £817.38, we’ve found a coffee machine with everyone’s budget in mind.
If you consider yourself a bit of a coffee snob, or you simply just love great coffee, a manual machine is your best option to get the coffee shop taste.
This one by De’Longhi is not only compact at just 15cm wide – ideal for busy kitchens – it is a relatively cheap option compared to most manual versions.
Its price doesn’t mean it’s not good at its job though, as it offers three filters, a double drip tray and a steam wand that adjusts accordingly to make the perfect frothy cappuccino or creamy latte.
The only downside is it might take some practice at playing barista.
Sage’s machine is part manual, part automatic, meaning you can achieve the quality coffee of a manual version without the hard work.
It might be pricey, but a touch screen makes things simpler and you can personalise programs so your favourite coffees are remembered.
It also heats up in just three seconds and your espresso will be complete in under a minute – ideal when you’re rushing to get ready for work.
This stainless steel machine is beyond clever and precise too.
Bean to cup designs are simpler to use than manual alternatives and unlike a coffee pod machine, you still get fresh coffee as the beans are ground in front of you – just not by hand, thankfully.
This one by De’Longhi is all frills.
From a water tank that’ll make 12 cups of coffee before requiring a refill, to a milk frother that’ll help produce dreamy cappuccinos.
It’s more environmentally friendly than machines that use plastic pods too.
The only downside is its size – not one for smaller kitchens.
This coffee capsule option is beautifully simple – pop a pod in and you’ll have freshly brewed coffee almost instantly.
It’s got some great features such as how quietly it’ll create your caffeine fix – trust us this is a rarity. With programmable settings, compact design and removable dishwasher-safe parts, it makes caffeine intake almost too easy.
An intelligent machine that recognises which capsule you’ve put into it using barcode technology.
It will automatically change the settings to suit the blend without you having to lift a finger.
At its current reduced price, it’s more than worth it.
Filter coffee has long been a great alternative to instant, without the expense or complications of manual coffee machines.
This one won’t leave you broke and with a unique shower head that disperses water evenly over the coffee grounds to bring out the flavour, it’s going to always beat the more standard cone-shaped filter coffee machines.
The major bonus is the automatic timer, meaning you’ll wake up to the dreamy waft of fresh coffee. It’ll keep it warm for 30 minutes too, just in case you fancy hitting the snooze button.
One reviewer noted that there is a timer that tells you how long since you brewed the coffee too. Because it’s kept warm you can go back for more.
It may be small and light – perfect for limited worktop space or taking it away for the weekend, but this machine is mighty.
It is Nespresso’s most compact machine to date, yet you still have two programmable options, it shuts off within nine minutes and even comes with 150 complimentary Nespresso capsules.
