As a nation, Australia LOVES its coffee. It's no wonder coffee machines are a kitchen staple in most homes. If you have been considering a quality coffee machine, now is the time.
Whether you are new to making coffee at home, or looking to upgrade your small appliances, we are here to guide your path to coffee heaven.

The A to Z of barista lingo
Best budget Coffee Machines
If you love a latte and aren’t that fond of instant coffee, then yes, you’re going to benefit from a coffee machine at home. Having easy access to coffee at home is one of the biggest perks of investing in a coffee machine. The other is money. Considering the average coffee will set you back around $5, if you’re having one a day, that’s close to $1800 each year. You could use that money to get yourself a top-of-the-line machine for home and have an on-demand supply of caffeine, any time of the day.
You might be feeling a little overwhelmed by the new lingo, so it’s helpful to do some research. We’ve put together this handy coffee machine buying guide to kick things off and bring you up to speed with the basics, and you’ll likely realise there’s more to the humble ‘cup of Joe’ than just beans and hot water.
There are three main types of coffee machines available for you to take home: coffee pod or capsule machines, automatic machines and manual machines. They differ in a few key ways from the types of coffee drinks they make, their internal mechanics and how much work it is to produce a fresh, hot drink.
The type of coffee machine you’ll love and get the most use out of will largely depend on a couple of things. First, what kind of coffee do you and your family like to drink? There’s a big difference between the person who wants to know the origin of the coffee beans and someone who’s half asleep and just needs their morning caffeine hit.
The other thing to consider is how much time you’d like to spend making coffees. If you’re short of time in the mornings and just need to throw an espresso back, you’ll want to factor that into which machine you choose and whether or not you need all the bells and whistles.
In addition, the size and weight of your coffee machine is also important because the larger the machine, the less portable it will be. So if you’re after something you can store, then a smaller and lighter machine might be the better option.
Picking a coffee machine is both a practical and emotional decision. You’ll want to make sure the machine you buy can make the kind of coffee drinks you love, but also fit neatly into your kitchen's style and space.
For the coffee lover who may even roast their own beans, nothing beats a manual coffee machine. By far the most flexible option, manual machines allow you to experiment with time and temperature, giving you the freedom to be the in-house barista at home.

For when you’re racing against the clock and you’re in need of a caffeine hit, we’ve outlined the best coffee machines that’ll get the job done.
Coffee pod machines (aka capsule machines) are possibly the fastest and cleanest ways to make a decent cup of cafe quality coffee at home. These are the perfect entry level coffee machine for busy households who appreciate coffee but don’t necessarily have peculiar tastes.

For when you’re on the run, automatic coffee machines will save you time (and effort) because of their inherent simplicity. Just pour the beans into the top and the machine handles the rest! Unlike a pod machine, you’ll need whole coffee beans for this one as the built-in grinder ensures your coffee is as fresh as they come.

Once you've decided which coffee machine suits you, it's time to invest in accessories and extras that'll elevate your at-home coffee experience.

If you've opted to grind your own beans, check out our coffee grinders that give you complete control to make fresh, aromatic coffee grounds for the perfect cup.
There's nothing better than perfectly frothed crema to go with your coffee. Shop our milk frothers to make sure you get the best foam, every time. Plus, explore our range of cleaning accessories to take care of your machine and give it the TLC it deserves.
If you have a special occasion coming up and need some gift inspo, you can't go wrong with a new coffee machine! Whether you're celebrating Mother's Day, Father's Day or a birthday, a coffee machine fits any occasion.
Imagine waking up on Sunday morning to the smell of fresh coffee wafting through your kitchen and all through your house. Adding a coffee machine to your home can bring a touch of comfort and give you and your family another reason to gather together and enjoy more of each other’s company.
