    <p>Breville the Infuser Espresso Machine</p> Best Overall

    Breville Breville the Infuser Espresso Machine
    $749.99 AT AMAZON.COM

    Skip the line at your local coffee house and make your own smooth, aromatic coffee with the Infuser by Breville. This machine is balanced with both automatic and manual controls to make espresso making more approachable. Its pre-infusion feature and temperature control contributes to a balanced coffee extraction, so your coffee will have a consistently amazing taste throughout. With the touch of a button, you can control how much of a pour you want and how many shots you need to get you through the day. And because no good drink needs to be stirred, the micro-foam milk function creates a balanced milk-to-coffee ratio that's good to the last drop.

    <p>Nespresso Pixie Original Espresso Machine</p> Best Compact

    Breville-Nespresso USA Nespresso Pixie Original Espresso Machine
    $299.00 AT AMAZON.COM

    Nothing beats that rich, bitter taste of espresso in the morning, and with this compact Nespresso machine, you’ll have a cup fast with a quick 25-second heat up time. This is espresso made-easy with its Nespresso capsules that easily pop in, two cup-capacity buttons for espresso or lungo, and a 19-bar high-pressure pump for delicious coffee that’ll deter you from going instant again. As if! You’ll use this every day, so there’s no point in storing it. Smaller (and less messy) than most high-end espresso machines, this one will live on your countertop without taking up too much space, and without all the fuss.

    <p>Mr. Coffee Cafe Barista Espresso Machine</p> Best for Versatility

    Mr. Coffee Mr. Coffee Cafe Barista Espresso Machine
    $0.00 AT AMAZON.COM

    With three preset one-touch buttons and a milk frother, you can easily make espressos, cappuccinos, and lattes without worrying about doing it wrong (and then rushing to the nearest coffee shop to perk you up). This semi-automatic espresso machine has 15 bars of pressure, gives you the ability to choose between single and double shots of espresso, has an automatic milk frother, and it even comes with a recipe book, so you can learn how to make are your favorite coffee shop go-tos without going to Starbucks or Peet’s. This is an espresso machine that both experts and beginners can enjoy.

    <p>Breville Nespresso Vertuo Machine Bundle</p> Best 2-in-1

    Breville Nespresso Vertuo Machine Bundle
    $221.96 AT AMAZON.COM

    This Nespresso machine gives you the best of both worlds with the ability to make five cup sizes of espresso and unique coffee recipes with the press of a button. Its CentrifusionTM technology blends the ground coffee in the inserted capsule and because it recognizes each blend automatically, you won’t have to change any settings. That could get confusing for a pre-coffee brain! Enjoy espresso, double espresso, coffee, or alto and finish it off with its milk frother that comes with this bundle that’s perfect for lattes!

    <p>De'Longhi Magnifia Automatic Espresso Machine</p> Best Automatic

    De'Longhi Magnifia Automatic Espresso Machine
    $699.95 AT AMAZON.COM

    Want an espresso but don't want to deal with all the mess and measuring? This notable De'Longhi espresso machine makes coffee-making easier than ever with a full-on automatic experience. With easy-to-use pre-programmed settings to personalize coffee strength and cup size, a height-adjustable coffee spout, a built-in coffee bean burr grinder, and a manual milk frother, you'll have lattes and espresso shots the way you like them — without the complications.
