Best rated Coffee Machines Australia

As a nation, Australia LOVES its coffee. There is no doubt after many lockdowns, coffee machines have become even more popular, making them the working from home must-have. 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.

Is It Worth Getting a Coffee Maker

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. It’s convenient, will save you money in the long run, and can turn your morning routine into a ritual with a barista style beverage.

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.

Which is the best Coffee Maker Machine for home?

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 sleepy 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.

The different types of Coffee Machines

There are three main types of coffee machines available for you to take home: coffee pod 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 is required to produce a fresh, hot drink. So let’s take a look at all three and a few suggestions of the coffee machines we think will level up your caffeine game at home. 

Manual Coffee Machines

A manual coffee machine is all about control. It lets you fine-tune grind size, dose and extraction to get café-quality flavour using fresh beans, while turning coffee making into a satisfying ritual. 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. This is ideal if flavour and craft matter more than speed.

Coffee pod machines (aka capsule machines) are perfect if you want café-style coffee without the fuss. It’s quick and easy to use, delivers consistent flavour every time, and requires minimal cleanup - just pop in a pod and press a button. With a wide range of blends and styles available, you can enjoy barista-quality coffee at home without needing special skills, making it ideal for busy mornings or effortless entertaining.

Automatic Coffee Machines

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.

Which home Coffee Machine is best?

Now you know the different types of machines and have a few options to choose from, you might be scratching your head and wondering which one is right for you. 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.

Why a home Coffee Machine is worth it

A coffee machine is worth it because it gives you café-quality coffee whenever you want, tailored exactly to your taste. It saves money over daily café visits, uses fresher beans for better flavour, and turns your daily coffee into a small ritual you can enjoy at home. Plus, with less waste than takeaway cups and the convenience of great coffee on demand, it quickly pays for itself.
