Best Barista Coffee Machines This stylish stainless steel machine is one that anyone who loves coffee will be proud to own. It makes use of a milk jar instead of steam wand to froth, and offers a variety of customizable options. This top barista machine lets you craft cappuccinos, lattes and espressos according to your preferences.

Philips 3200 Series The Philips 3200 Series is one of the more affordable super-automatic espresso machines available. It's also referred to as the Philips 1200 Carina and is the most basic machine, with the smallest amount of pre-programmed drinks available in the company's line. It can make double or single espresso, a double or single coffee (technically it's a Lungo espresso) as well as cappuccino and latte macchiato, as well as hot water. The intuitive touch screen includes a variety of buttons that let you select the drink you prefer. The 3200 comes with the LatteGo milk dispenser that automatically will froth your drink and serve it with the click of one button. It is your responsibility to do the work of filling the container with your preferred milk, but it's much simpler than manual frothing. The machine blends the milk with air at high speed in a frothing chamber that is round before transferring it into your mug. This distinction sets it apart from the less expensive Terra Kaffe TK-01, and the midrange Gaggia Anima which both have a panarello wand, but neither has a built-in milk frother. Like all semi-automatic and fully automated espresso machines, the Philips 3200 Series won't produce the perfect cup as quickly or as easily as a barista would at your local coffee shop however, it will still give you a delicious cup of joe every single time. It's also extremely user-friendly with LEDs that confirm the beverage selection and button press. If you're worried about maintaining water tanks, slide-out models allow for easy refills. An AquaClean Filter helps keep your machine free of scale and debris for up to 5000 cups. It's recommended that you rinse the drip tray on a regular basis and wash the brewing group weekly, and descale it every several months or so, depending on the level of hardness in your water. 2. coffeee.uk is ideal for those who wish to take their coffee-making at home to the next step.

Breville Bambino The Bambino Plus espresso machine is an excellent entry-level option for those who wish to make cafe-style coffee at home. Its fast heating time and simple controls make it stand out from its competitors. It does have some drawbacks like plastic components that could break over time and a steam wand that is difficult to clean. These issues are minor when compared to the quality of the espresso the machine makes and is very good. The single-boiler design of the machine allows it to heat up quickly, so you can start brewing your espresso in just three seconds. This is a significant advantage over traditional espresso machines which may take more than 10 seconds to reach the proper temperature. The Bambino Plus has a feature that controls the extraction process. This stops water from getting into the coffee grinds, altering the taste or texture. Another important feature is its ability to create silky microfoams for the creation of latte art as well as other special drinks. This is possible because its manual steam wand can reach temperatures as high as 266 degrees Fahrenheit. While this is not as high as some other professional machines, it is still enough to produce delicious smooth foam for your drinks. Unlike other espresso machines available on the market The Bambino Plus does not include an integrated grinder. This can be a disadvantage for some buyers, however it could be an advantage for those who would like to pair it with a high-quality separate grinder. It might not have the same features as the top-rated models like the Gaggia Silvia or Classic Pro, but it is still a great machine for the price.
