How To Choose The Right Coffee Machine For You

April 13, 2023-4 min read

So you want to enjoy barista-worthy brews at home? Done! Your perfect cuppa awaits with the perfect coffee machine. But with so many makes and styles on offer, how do you find that dream coffee mate?

First, size matters. Make sure to go for a coffee machine that fits your home and lifestyle. Do you intend to stow it away after each use? Pick a smaller, lighter model.

If you’re planning to position it on the bench, check you’ve got enough counter space and consider a style and colour that chimes with your kitchen decor.

But which type of machine should you spring for? One that dispatches fast and fresh coffees on the run? Or one that turns brewing into an art form?

Here’s the lowdown on the three main types of coffee machines on the market to help you take the grind out of the decision and bring home those full-bodied cafe flavours you’ve been craving.

1. Capsule Coffee Machines

For fresh coffee with zero effort, this is the one for you. Just pop in your favourite coffee capsule or pod and let the machine do the rest. Some capsule coffee machines include a milk frother or you can buy one separately.

2. Automated Coffee Machines

Just pour in your choice of roasted coffee beans, select your cup size and watch this coffee machine get to work grinding and dispensing your caffeine fix, just the way you like it. An automated machine often pours two coffees at once - ideal for the coffee-loving couple, family or entertainer.

3. Manual Coffee Machines

Take total control of your coffee break with a manual machine. These appliances allow you to tailor your brew by altering the water temperature and grind size, while a pressure gauge will help you achieve the perfect extraction. Cappuccino more your style? A steam wand is usually built-in for milk frothing perfection. 

Now you can wake up and smell the coffee!
