- Integrated automatic milk frother
- Adjustable cup tray
• The top 10 coffee machines for the home of 2023 are opened by a super-automatic espresso machine for everyone who wants to set up a coffee shop right at home and feel like a real barista. It offers an excellent compromise between customization and ease of use.

• The 0,6 liter milk container can be removed and stored in the refrigerator. And when the time comes for cleaning (this is every 200 cycles), the machine itself will warn the owner about this.

- Type of coffee used: ground / grain
- Pump pressure: 15 bar
- Drink type: cappuccino, latte, espresso, lungo, americano
- Cappuccino preparation: automatic
- Number of grinding levels: 5
• One of the best coffee machines for the home of 2023 is made in Italy under a very well-established brand. Gaggia devices are popular with beginners and professionals alike, and with good reason. They tend to combine high quality components with stylish designs.
• CADORNA Milk is relatively compact and very easy to use. The trade-off for its simplicity is that you don't have a lot of grind options. But this is offset by other advantages of the model:
- Possibility to prepare two cups of coffee at the same time.
- Shutdown when not in use.
- Self-cleaning at startup and shutdown.
- Automatic cleaning of milk residues.
• Please note that in the settings there are personal profiles of the user's favorite coffee drinks.
Pros and cons easy to use you can choose different volume and strength of coffee high-quality assembly according to such a criterion as the number of grinding degrees is inferior to competitors8. De'Longhi Magnifica ECAM 22.110
- Type of coffee used: ground / grain
- Pump pressure: 15 bar
- Drink type: cappuccino, espresso
- Cappuccino preparation: manual
- Number of grinding levels: 13
• If I were to rank budget coffee machines, I would put this model on the first line. It has been awarded the Amazon's Choice award, and stands out for its excellent value for money.
• The coffee maker warms cups, allows you to make two cups of coffee at once, and saves energy by automatically turning off when not in use. It has a fast and strong coffee grinder, a removable drip tray, there are power and water level indicators.
• Does Magnifica have disadvantages? Yes, first of all, it uses a rotary control dial, not a digital display. Secondly, the milk frothing system is not automatic. However, the patented Cappuccino System technology makes milk frothing easy and safe even for beginners.
Pros and cons dispenser can be adjusted up to 142 mm compact beautiful design convenient to add water – the container slides forward short cord – 1,15 m noisy7. Level CafeRomatic NICR

- Pump pressure: 15 bar
- Drink type: cappuccino, latte, espresso, lungo, americano, ristretto
- Cappuccino preparation: automatic
• Another budget model among the best automatic coffee machines for the home in 2023. But this budget is expressed in the case material (plastic), and does not affect the functionality.
• With the NICR 520, you can prepare two cups of coffee at once by adjusting the water hardness, temperature, one of 3 degrees of strength and the volume of the drink.
• In addition to the display backlight, this machine is also equipped with a compartment for the cord, and a waste container. But there is no water filter included.

- Cappuccino preparation: automatic
- Number of grinding levels: 12
• The compact and small espresso machine has one major advantage over its competitors in a similar price range – its excellent automatic milk frothing system.
• This system, which Philips calls LatteGo, not only produces the perfect silky milk foam, but also consists of 2 removable elements that can be washed under running water. Between uses, the milk container can be removed and stored in the refrigerator.
• Along with LatteGo, the 3200 has an intuitive interface that makes it easy to select and program drinks. You can adjust the coffee strength, the volume of coffee and milk, and the temperature.

- Type of coffee used: ground / grain
- Pump pressure: 15 bar
- Drink type: cappuccino, latte, latte macchiato, espresso, americano, flat white
- Cappuccino preparation: automatic
- Number of grinding levels: 13
• I gave the fifth place in the ranking of automatic coffee machines in 2023 to a high-performance model equipped with a stainless steel coffee grinder with 13 different grind settings. You can customize your espresso by adjusting the temperature and strength of your coffee, and you can also prepare one or two drinks at a time.
• This model also has a removable drip tray, and the coffee dispensing unit is adjustable within 85-140 mm. When it comes to preparing coffee and drinks with milk, this is done at the touch of a button.
• De'Longhi decided to save money in two places. Firstly, the body of the ETAM 29.660 SB is plastic. Secondly, the capacity of the bean container is only 150 grams, and the water container is also small.
Pros and cons you can make two cups of coffee at once very easy to use – there is a Russified menu itself reminds you of the need to descale compact short cord – 1,6 meters4. Saeco Lirika

The presence of a container for milk makes it possible to prepare drinks with milk foam, and the built-in nozzle will knock it down to a homogeneous consistency. Also, the device allows you to prepare a couple of cups of coffee at once.
• Of the useful little things, I also note the presence of a display backlight and a self-shutdown of the machine when not in use.
Pros and cons cup brews in just 30 seconds durable metal grinders very convenient and easy to operate noHow to choose a coffee machine for your home: expert advice
Automatic coffee machine
• Gained popularity in both home and office environments. At the touch of a button, you can grind coffee beans and pressurized hot water can be automatically passed through the ground coffee. In addition, most automatic coffee makers have a built-in milk frothing system, so you can easily prepare the so-called “one-touch cappuccino”.
• Such machines offer a very simple process for preparing drinks from espresso to cappuccino and latte.
• The use of coffee beans allows coffee to be stored for a very long time, and the taste of the drink will be much fresher than using ground coffee, where oxidation occurs during the grinding of beans.
• The main disadvantage of an automatic coffee machine is the price. It is 5 times or even more than the cost of a conventional home coffee maker.
Capsule coffee machine
• Such a device is incredibly easy to use and inexpensive. However, most inexpensive pod coffee machines do not offer milk frothing functionality. However, if desired, you can purchase an electric cappuccinatore separately.
• An important advantage of the capsule machine is that you get coffee in less than a minute.
• However, capsules cost more (and sometimes much more) than any equivalent amount of coffee.
Drip coffee maker
• The simplest and least expensive type of coffee brewing machine. The control is minimal – usually an on / off button, and can only prepare filtered coffee.
• The only thing you need to know is how much ground coffee you need for one cup of coffee and how many cups you want to make. The output is Americano.
• The disadvantage of such machines is that you cannot froth milk for making cappuccino or latte.
Rozhkovy coffee maker
• It got its name from the coffee horn. It differs from drip coffee in that pressurized steam passes through the ground coffee, rather than hot water. It then condenses and enters the cup. Such a device helps to prepare fragrant and rich in taste espresso.
Cappuccinatore
• The best option is automatic, with which milk is frothed directly in the cup, without the slightest effort on the part of the user.
• Also a good option is a semi-automatic cappuccinatore that works in two steps. First, coffee is brewed, and then milk foam is added to it using a flexible hose – it departs from the nozzle on the steam supply tube.
• Models with a manual cappuccino maker (plastic or metal pannarello nozzle) are the easiest to maintain, but difficult to handle, I do not recommend considering them if you are buying your first coffee machine.
• If you already have the best automatic coffee machine for home, but there is no cappuccinatore in it, this is fixable. You can buy a milk frother – aerochino with a convenient magnetic whisk.
