What Espresso Machine Brand Is The Best?

When looking for a new Espresso machine for home, you can get pretty overwhelmed with the many choices out there. There are many brands and models to choose from, and if you’re not sure what you want, you can get stuck. So, to help you what, here’s a little bit of information to help you with your decision.

First of all, we work pretty hard to feature only the best espresso machines on this site. You can choose an espresso machine to your budget (under $100 – under $300 – under $500 and under $1000) and can be %100 sure they are all of good quality but with different features that meet your price point.

Another way is to choose from a brand you already know and trust. Our favorite brands are:

Nespresso is the leading brand in single-serve espresso machines that uses pre-measured capsules. There are many Nespresso machines to choose from: Nespresso Pixie and CitiZ being the top choice, and Nespresso U a new favorite. You can see all Nespresso machines we’ve featured here.

If you’re into less automatic machines and prefer your espresso to be made in a more authentic way, DeLonghi is the brand you want. With a wide range of budget pump espresso machines, like the DeLonghi EC702 15 bar pump machine or the DeLonghi KMix which is also a 15 bar pump machine. DeLonghi’s machines have always been recommended for home baristas under a budget.

While KRUPS has been a long favorite and a fantastic brand, it excels in automatic espresso machines more than it does with manual pump espresso machines. So it’s perfect for someone who has a good budget for an automatic machine in the price range of $600 to $800. The KRUPS XP5220 Pump machine, for example, is an okay machine, but it does not compare to a machine like the KRUPS  Espresseria Full automatic machine.

Last but certainly not least, the excellent Australian brand Breville that builds absolutely powerful manual and semi automatic Espresso machines. You’ll definitely want to check out the Breville BES860XL Barista Express machine that will make you one of the best home barista you know, in no time!
