Budget for the machine
Espresso experience
Counter space
Milk drinks (lattes, cappuccinos)
Already own a decent espresso grinder?
Would capsules (e.g. Nespresso) be OK?
Honesty line: suggestions are based on published specs and public reviews (Serious Eats, Wirecutter, Food & Wine), not on Home Espresso Index hands-on tests. Prices were checked 9 Nov 2026 and change often. See how we rate.
