Why a home coffee machine is worth it
Great coffee shouldn’t be limited to the Coffee Shop. A quality home machine helps you make better-tasting drinks more consistently, using fresh ingredients and repeatable brewing. It’s also a smarter way to enjoy your favourites—espresso, americano, cappuccino, latte and more—without compromising on flavour.
How to choose the best home coffee machine
The “best” machine depends on how you like to brew and how much control you want. Use the checklist below to match the machine to your lifestyle (and avoid paying for features you won’t use).
- Your favourite drinks: espresso-only, or milk drinks like latte and cappuccino? (Milk-based drinks often benefit from a steam wand or an automated milk system.)
- Speed vs control: do you want one-touch convenience, or do you enjoy dialling in grind, dose and extraction?
- Kitchen space: measure your worktop depth/height and allow room for cups, access and cleaning.
- Cleaning and maintenance: easier routines keep flavour high and extend machine life—plan for descaling, backflushing (where relevant) and regular wipe-downs.
- Running costs: pods/capsules can be convenient; whole beans often offer better value and freshness over time.
Get better results (without upgrading the machine)
Two upgrades make the biggest difference to taste: fresh coffee and consistent grinding. If you’re using an espresso machine (or any grinder-dependent setup), pair it with quality beans and a capable grinder for more reliable extractions, richer flavour and improved crema.
- Coffee Beans – explore blends and roasts suited to home brewing.
- Coffee Grinders – burr grinders help you hit the right grind size consistently.
Keep your machine tasting its best
A clean machine is a better-tasting machine. Regular cleaning helps prevent bitter build-up, keeps milk systems hygienic and protects performance over time. Stock up on essentials so your home coffee stays smooth, balanced and consistently delicious.

Home coffee machines FAQs
What’s the difference between a bean-to-cup machine and an espresso machine?
A bean-to-cup coffee machine automates grinding and brewing (and often milk drinks), making it ideal for speed and consistency. A home espresso machine gives you more hands-on control over grind, dose and extraction for a more traditional barista-style workflow.
Which home coffee machine is best for milk drinks?
If you love cappuccinos and lattes, look for either an espresso machine with a capable steam wand or a bean-to-cup machine with an integrated milk system. Your ideal choice depends on whether you prefer manual texturing or automated convenience.
Are pod & capsule machines good?
Pod and capsule machines are popular because they’re fast, compact and easy to use. They’re a great fit for households that value convenience and want reliable coffee with minimal mess.
Do I need a grinder for a home espresso machine?
If you’re buying a traditional espresso machine, a grinder is strongly recommended. Espresso is sensitive to grind size, and a consistent burr grinder makes it much easier to achieve balanced flavour and repeatable results.
How do I keep my home coffee machine in good condition?
Follow a simple routine: wipe down after use, clean milk parts regularly, and use the correct cleaning products for your machine type. Consistent maintenance improves taste and helps prevent avoidable repairs.
