Buzz Killer Espresso

That perfect cup of rich, dark coffee that starts our mornings can make a huge difference in how your day unfolds.

With so much on the line, doesn’t it make sense to make sure it’s one heck of a cup? Rather than waiting in line, rushed and hoping the barista gets your drink right, why not make sure it’s done right?

To help the beginner home barista, we’ve found the best home espresso machine under $200.

We’ve included brands you know with a Nespresso Pixie review and a Mr. Coffee Café Barista Premium review, and one brand you may not be as familiar with by including a review of the DeLonghi EC702 and the DeLonghi EC155.

#1. – DeLonghi EC702 15-Bar-Pump Espresso Maker

Self-priming to do away with the hassle of waiting for the machine to heat up

Pros:

• The patented steaming wand makes you feel like a seasoned barista as you create the perfect creamy foam for every cup
• Users can choose between pods or ground coffee to get the taste they desire

Cons:

• Users have reported that it takes about 5-6 cups before the machine is broken in and the acidic taste goes away
• The steaming wand is a little close to the body of the unit

We can’t leave out the De’Longhi EC702 review, considering it’s such an incredible machine. The EC702 is easy to use and very versatile. The top shelf of the unit acts as a cup warmer. The electric 15-bar pressure pump ensures a quality drink every time, and adjustable controls let you modify your espresso or cappuccino.

The EC702 has two separate thermostats, so water and steam pressure to be controlled separately. Its dual filter holder, one for ground coffee and the other for the Easy Serving Espresso pods allow you to customize your espresso, cappuccino or latte. The EC702 has a removable 44-ounce water tank and drip tray, so clean-up is quick and painless.

The larger water reservoir and Rapid Cappuccino System maintains optimal temperature to craft multiple cups. Weighing 13.4 pounds, this is the heaviest machine of the group.

#2. – Nespresso Pixie Espresso Maker

One of the best things about the Pixie is the variety of pods available from Nespresso to create that rich, flavorful espresso that will make everything better.

Pros:

• Its streamlined design is small enough to fit on even the most compact kitchen’s countertop
• For those that don’t want to hassle with too many different options and who want their espresso at the push of a button, operation is very simple and straightforward

Cons:

• Some users have reported that the machine is a bit noisy
• The cost of using pods on a regular basis may add up and become expensive

Part of Nespresso’s OriginalLine, the Pixie is the most ergonomic and compact of its home espresso machines. Heating up in just 25 seconds, the Pixie will alert you when its water reservoir gets too low.

Eco-friendly, it shuts off after 9 minutes and is made of recycled materials. It can hold up to 10 used capsules and has a folding drip tray for a Latte Macchiato glass. Weighing in at only 6.6 lbs, the Pixie also has a 24-ounce water reservoir that can be removed for easy cleaning and is available in a wide range of colors and 2 different finishes.

Nespresso offers a variety of flavor capsules, including 25 different varieties and limited edition flavors from which to choose. Programmable buttons allow you to easily choose between an espresso and lungo.

#3. – Mr. Coffee ECMP1000 Café Barista Premium Espresso/Cappuccino System

Espressos, Cappuccinos, and Lattes, oh my!

Pros:

• Clean-up is quick and easy with a removable drip catcher, water reservoir, and removable milk reservoir
• Easy operation with one-touch panel

Cons:

• The temperature can be inconsistent, so drinks are not as hot as other units
• The frother creates a thin layer of tougher foam that rests on top and can be spooned off

With the sleek Café Barista, the one-touch control panel allows you to choose from single- or double-shots of espresso, cappuccino or lattes depending on where you are in your caffeine intake for the day. The 15-bar pump system makes brewing consistent as you choose between 12 and 16 ounces.

The included recipe guide shows you how to create rich, aromatic beverages like espresso martinis, caramel cappuccinos or café mochas by adding just a few more ingredients. The milk frother automatically froths your milk as your drink is being made making this one of the most all-inclusive machines of the group. It also automatically shuts off after a few minutes.

The Drip Catcher is removable, so it’s easy to clean, as is the removable water reservoir.

#4. – De’Longhi EC155 15 BAR Pump Espresso and Cappuccino Maker

As the most affordable of the group, the EC155 can craft multiple espressos or cappuccinos with no downtime in between.

Pros:

• The built-in manual frother makes it easy to create the thick crema that tops off your creation to perfection.
• Users can use ground coffee or pods depending on their preference

Cons:

• Some espresso or cappuccino machines come with cup warmers located right on top of the unit itself. The EC155 does not have this feature.
• The device has been reported to vibrate when it’s in use.

Let’s start with the De’Longhi EC155 review. This semi-automatic espresso machine can craft the perfect single or double espresso, cappuccino, or latte. The swivel jet manual frother mixes steam and milk to craft creamy foam for cappuccinos.

This machine comes with a three-in-one filter holder for one espresso shot, two shots, and another for use with single-use pods. De’Longhi’s Rapid Cappuccino System maintains optimal temperature between cups to make sure you can brew one cup right after another.

The 35-ounce water reservoir and folding drip tray are easy to remove, refill, and re-install so clean-up and preparation are quick. At only 6.7 pounds, the EC155 is portable and its self-priming feature means you get your beverage faster.

Comparision – DeLonghi EC155 vs. EC702

Stainless Steel vs. Plastic Casing

The De’Longhi EC702 includes a sleek stainless steel case with cup warmer functionality. Not only can you store your favorite espresso cups on top of your machine but they’ll be nice and warm by the time your ready to brew each morning. In comparison, the EC155 unit is made from plastic casing, so the higher end De’Longhi EC702 has greater durability.

Display Panel – More Organized and Push Buttons vs. Dial

De’Longhi have included a three button display panel on the higher priced EC702 with LED status lights indicating when water temperature is ready to brew, and when the streamer operation is ready to make cappuccino and hot chocolates. Their budget-friendly EC155 has a plastic dial on the EC155.

Dimensions:

• (W x D x H inches):
• EC702: Wider than its cheaper cousin by 4 inches (11.25 x 8.19 x 12.50, 11.10 pounds)
• EC155: Deeper than the EC702 (7.5 x 13.25 x 11.50, 7.15 pounds)

Weight

The EC702 is approximately 4 pounds heavier than EC155 due to the stainless steel casing. Overall this gives the machine a more robust build quality and more stability on the countertop.

Water Tank

EC702 is equipped with a larger water tank of 44 oz. vs. the 35 oz. in the EC155 model. The larger the tank is, the less frequently you’ll have to fill the tank. The water tank location is also moved to the right-hand side which is more readily available than the top location in the previous model.

Cappuccino System Frother

The De’Longhi designers have included an upgraded Cappuccino System Frother on the EC702 unit. Many buyers have reviewed the latest frother design favourability because of the way that it steams your milk to aerate and swirl, creating a frothy & creamy texture. Speaking of frothing, the frothing wand has been moved from the left side to right in the EC702 model.

The Features You Love and What You Can Expect

When you’re looking to find the best espresso maker under $200, it’s smart to be aware of what you can expect in this price range. Whether you’re a novice or looking for a second machine for the office or your vacation getaway, we’ve broken down the most common features and what to expect when you are ready to invest in a higher range machine.

The beauty of these units is that they’re all fairly compact and designed to fit on your kitchen countertop. Rather than waiting minutes for your coffee to brew, these home espresso machines are ready to dispense some seriously hot java after about 25 seconds.

Choose between automatic machines, which do it all for you, including frothing the milk and have readily preset options, or semi-automatic that still require you to put in a little effort by packing the grounds filter and engaging the pump on and off.

Although these are the top-rated espresso machines under $200, there are some features that you just won’t find. One con of most of these machines is that because they are so compact and portable, they have a tendency to vibrate loudly. A more expensive machine ($500 price bracket) will be heavier and though not as compact, will be sturdier in construction and less likely to vibrate.

Also available on the higher-end of home espresso machines are built-in, hands-free grinders, multiple filters that regulate pressure, and features that remove the excess water from the filter baskets after the coffee has been extracted.

Some units include hidden compartments for storing filters and cleaning kits.  Some machines also allow you to go beyond espresso and introduce variety by allowing you to create your own latte or cappuccino drinks.

If you’re ready to re-create your café experience at home, then your next step is to find the best machine for you. Let’s take a look at four of the best home espresso machines on the market.

There’s no doubt spending an extra $100 goes a long way when you’re buying an espresso machine in the entry-level range. We’ve reviewed three great espresso machines for buyers with budgets that extended to the sub-$300 price point. These machines make great coffee and include an excellent range of features compared to their competitors.

Find below our three selections for the Best Espresso Machine under $300.

	Product	Suitable for	Our Rating	Price Guide
	De’Longhi EC680	Small, easy to use and makes great coffee	(4.8 / 5)	***
	Nespresso Pixie	Perfect for owners who need an auto-pilot machine	(4.5 / 5)	**
	Capresso 118.05	Great choice for advanced Coffee lovers	(4.4 / 5)	**

1. De’Longhi EC680 Dedica 15-Bar Pump Espresso Machine

Best Budget Espresso Machine

An amazing small espresso machine which produces beautiful coffee

Pros:

• Reaches brewing temperature in about 30 seconds.
• The machine feels very well built and well designed. In fact, it feels higher quality than many espresso makers that are much larger and more expensive.
• Easy to clean and maintain.
• The steam wand produces excellent foam. (basically, all of the steam wand complaints on Amazon are from people who aren’t properly priming it per the instructions). We’ve included a YouTube video guide below.

Cons:

• By no means deal-breakers, but a few suggestions for improvement by DeLonghi
• I wish there were a way to perform a manual pull without reprogramming the buttons!
• Can’t attach and remove the portafilter one-handed without causing the machine to tip/rock, due to the small case size.
• The water reservoir is very ‘tricky’ with its seating. At times the reservoir will sometimes lift just enough that the machine will stop pumping water mid-pull or mid-steam.

Some of the cool features for this espresso machine:

• Sleek Design provides outstanding espresso while only taking up 6 Inch of space
• Thermo block technology allows the machine to heat up to the ideal temperature in a quick 40 seconds
• Cappuccino Frothing system provides Barista quality foam
• Automatic Flow Stop
• Stainless Steel Construction

The new De’Longhi Dedica Espresso Maker produces the perfect espresso, latte, or cappuccino at home, all while only taking up 6 Inch of your kitchen countertop. It also features thermo block technology which allows the machine to heat up quickly and be ready within 35 seconds. It has sturdy stainless steel construction and buttons for automatic flow stop. The new Cappuccino Frother provides Barista quality foam for your favorite milk based espresso drinks.

Just make sure to clean the nozzle and push the button for steam before turning the steam knob to avoid the nozzle being clogged by milk.

Do yourself a favor and buy the generic stainless steel tamper accessory for under $15. The standard tamper included is quite short in length and makes usage difficult.

I’ve read reports from buyers that complained about a lack of crema. After using this machine myself, I can only assume that these reviewers are using old or improperly prepared beans.

2. Nespresso Pixie Espresso Maker, Electric Titan

Perfect for owners who need an auto-pilot machine

Pros:

• Small footprint makes this machine well suited for smaller kitchens that don’t have a lot of counter space.
• Heats up very quickly, so your coffee is ready in seconds.
• The attractive design which makes the machine a stylish addition to any kitchen counter-top.
• Produces very good coffee, with excellent crema.

Cons:

• Smaller water reservoir means refills are frequently required.
• The water tank can be difficult to remove.
• Coffee spray during operation.

I quite often speak with friends who would like an espresso machine but can’t be bothered with the hassle that comes with operating a machine designed for advanced owners. Our second selection for espresso machines in the sub-$300 price point is one of the most popular Nespresso models, perfect for buyers who seek the simplicity of an automatic machine. The most complicated task with this machine is buying more coffee pods from the grocery store! Just hit a button and have your steaming hot espresso ready in under a minute.

What do you get with the Nespresso Pixie package? You get a true espresso with a lovely, brown crema on top. One of the best features is that you don’t have to spend time tamping grounds and cleaning them from your machine. The only maintenance required is occasional descaling and emptying the internal bin of used capsules.

If you’re a cappuccino lover, the Aeroccino Plus accessory pack is an optional extra, which means cappuccino and lattes are just minutes away. You can make two cup sizes with the Pixie, espresso, and lungo, which is approximate twice the volume of espresso but, of course, also weaker. Not weak, mind you, but not as strong as espresso.

Overall a very easy to use espresso machine that will last for years.

3. Capresso 118.05 EC PRO Espresso and Cappuccino Machine

The perfect choice for advanced Coffee drinkers

Designed for the true espresso aficionados the Capresso Pro is a great buy, especially now that it’s available for $300. One it’s most appealing features is the ‘bottomless’ espresso filter. Designed with connoisseurs in mind, the unique filter generates pressure according to the ground coffee bean size and the way they were tamped. The pressure can be adjusted by changing the bean’s size, how they were tamped, or even the age of the beans themselves.

Some of the cool features of the espresso machine:

• Includes two espresso filters, one for convenience, one for control
• Brews 1 or 2 espressos at a time
• Lets you brew barista style and perfect your technique
• Advanced pump boiler maintains a reservoir of hot water at the perfect
• 15 bar pump provides optimal pressure for rich crema

The EC Pro gives advanced users more control than coffeemakers they’ve used before. But if you aren’t a coffeemaker whiz, we trust you’ll love its double spout espresso filters and ‘advanced’ pump boiler. One espresso filter was designed for convenience and the other was designed for control. You may use the one you’d prefer. Its advanced pump boiler maintains a reservoir of hot water at the optimal temperature for brewing. Always having water for brewing enables it to prepare coffee faster and more consistently than most of the other commercial-grade coffee makers currently available in the market.

It’s worth highlighting that the Capresso isn’t as easy to use as a Semi Automatic Breville BES840XL. You’ll need to put a little work into each espresso rather than simply pressing a button and letting the machine run on auto pilot. If you want to make coffee easily, don’t buy this machine. It’s an entry level machine for connoisseurs who want total control over each brew.

Capresso’s build quality on the Pro is of high enough quality build, design and output to use every day. The handles are well sized and a nice heavy weight! Two filters are included, both the bottomless filter and two cups/beginner filter. It is useful to have two handles, especially because it is suggested you prime the machine each time you use it to bring it up to temperature. You can prime the machine with one handle while you load and tamp with the other handle.

Pros

• Unlike most espresso machines sold currently it comes with a good instruction booklet to help you get accustomed to all the features.
• Water tank in the back is very nicely designed, cleanable..and movable.
• Build quality is very nice, a good looking machine.
• The foaming wand makes VERY fluffy foam. Probably easier to use, and more productive, than even the pro espresso machines.
• The quality of the espresso is excellent and it rivals but does not quite live up to a pro machine. It is rich and not bitter and it is a good temperature.
• The porta filters are high quality as well – the espresso shots taste amazing.
• I like this machine, it gets four stars because of that—but I would have got 5 if the espresso were just a little thicker. I do recommend this machine–because I would not be surprised if it were the best in its price range. I like its simplicity.

Cons

• Could have been designed with sturdiness in mind. If it weighed a little more, you wouldn’t need to brace the machines while putting on the handle.
• Even when well packed, it’s tough to obtain solid crema on the espresso. Perhaps if you experiment with grind variation crema might be possible.

For the price, you really can’t find a better machine. No other machine on the market in this price point comes with a naked portafilter, stainless steel construction (instead of chrome plated brass), and an articulating steam wand. The water comes out nice and hot, and the machine heats up quickly. Not to mention, it uses a single boiler instead of a thermoblock, so you can always experiment with changing the brew temperature by flipping it onto the steam setting for a few seconds before you extract. There is not much I can say other than this machine is fantastic.

Capresso has produced a machine that makes delicious espresso and steams milk very well with a solid case construction. Isn’t this all that matters?

De’Longhi EC680 Guide

If you’re serious about making your own cafe quality coffee this is the best price range to find a quality espresso machine. This is the price bracket which I paid for my espresso machine, because I wanted the ability to make the prefect espresso. I want the best shot of espresso possible, every time.

For those who want the ultimate espresso experience without the hassle, investing in an espresso machine is key. Lucky for you, below are three machines that are the best espresso machines under $1000, providing the ultimate espresso experience without draining your bank account.

	Product	Suitable for	Our Rating	Price Guide
	Rancilio HSD-SILVIA	Best value for money semi-automatic espresso maker	(4.8 / 5)	*****
	DeLonghi ESAM3300	Advanced “cappuccino system” frother will offer you the creamiest latte	(4.8 / 5)	***
	Breville BES920XL	Extremely simple to use for a high end espresso maker	(4.8 / 5)	***

1. Rancilio HSD-SILVIA Silvia Espresso Machine

Rated by experts as the best value for money semi-automatic espresso maker

Our first choice is the Rancilio HSD-Silva espresso machine, which has a sleek and elegant design fitting of a device in the upper price bracket. It features the same ergonomic portafilter handle as its more expensive counterparts, commercial grade group head to expedite heat stability, and articulating steam wand.

The machine has a linear design, allowing it to fit appropriately within any stylish kitchen decor. Rancilio’s single boiler is 0.3 liters (12 ounces), offering one of the largest volume capacities on the market.

Pros:
The articulating steam wand allows for optimal range of motion for when you want to steam milk. This is ideal for making sure that your milk is heated quickly and allows for control over foam preference, so you can switch between lattes and cappuccinos easily.

The ergonomic portafilter handle also allows for optimal extraction, so you can ensure you are getting the perfect, most aromatic shot of espresso each and every time.

How to Make a Cappuccino using the Rancilio HSD-SILVIA

Cons:
We’ve rated this machine number one for a reason, the reviews are stellar. However, there have been some complaints of a “finicky” grinder. For those that want the ideal grind, we recommended using a separate burr grinder. For help finding the best coffee grinder check our guide.

2. DeLonghi ESAM3300 Magnifica Super-Automatic Espresso/Coffee Machine

One of the few super-automatic espresso makers under $1,000

Delonghi is weightier than several other espresso machines, but the heavy lifting that may ensue in placing this machine in your kitchen is due to the vast features this monster of a machine offers its recipients.

DeLonghi features include a “cappuccino system” frother that blends steam and milk for a creamy texture, modernized control panel with menu options, “direct-to-brew” system which grinds beans before brewing, double boiler system, and low-volume burr grinder.

Pros:
One of the best features of this machine is its burr grinder, which not only grinds beans and readies for brewing at lightning speed — it also allows users to select the type of grind so that their coffee and espresso can perfectly match their palate.

The double boiler system ensures that coffee, espresso, and milk will always be at the perfect temperature, while the advanced “cappuccino system” frother will offer you the creamiest latte or cappuccino you’ve ever tasted. There is also a cup warming tray, so you don’t have to fret about your coffee getting cold if a sudden call pulls you away from your morning latte.

Take heed, though: once your friends learn of this machine’s inimitable feature, you may have a line for use that rivals Starbucks’ busiest hours.

Descaling with the De’Longhi ESAM3300

Cons:
The machine is very heavy, so those who aren’t a fan of heavy lifting may get agitated when first loading the machine onto their respective counters. Other than that, DeLonghi espresso machine reviews are excellent.

3. Breville BES920XL Dual Boiler Espresso Machine

Dual stainless steel boilers and Italian pumps for simultaneous shot extraction, milk frothing and optimal pressure

The machine’s features include dual stainless steel boilers which guarantee the best extraction possible for the perfect shot.

The pressure of extraction is monitored shrewdly by an over-pressure valve, temperatures are kept under control by an electronic PID and backlit LCD, and Breville also contains a water hardness test strip.

Pros:
The elegant features of this machine will allow you to channel your inner barista, as its look and features are worthy of becoming a fixture in the most high-end bistros the world has to offer.

At the same time, the machine is extremely simple to use, so you won’t have to spend time poring over the manual and tinkering to enjoy your perfect espresso.

How to Use the Breville Dual Boiler Espresso Machine

Cons:
Obviously, you have to wait for a discount if you don’t want to purchase this for over $1000.00, but keep an eye out — the machine is frequently put on sale at prices that can be less than $600.00. One of the few complaints about the machine is that it can sometimes be a bit messy after brewing, so have your paper towels and Windex ready.

Conclusion

This guide offers the best espresso machine under $1000, so that you don’t have to loosen your purse strings for something that will ultimately disappoint and land you right back in line to purchase an overpriced latte each morning.
