If your morning really starts with coffee, then one of your favorite items in the kitchen is probably a coffee maker. It is pleasant to brew a noble drink in the evenings in an ordinary Turk, but in the morning, when you need to hurry, it is not very convenient to use it, and you hardly want to waste time scrubbing the stove from runaway foam. Don’t give up a normal drink in favor of a cheap granulate because of the morning rush! We’ll talk about how to choose a coffee maker for your home that can solve this dilemma.
Don’t be afraid that you won’t be able to handle modern technology: household models are much simpler and more user-friendly than professional coffee machines. But they are so diverse that before going to the store you should familiarize yourself with all the nuances.
Delonghi EC 680 M
The first in the rating of coffee makers for the home is the modern and ultra-thin DELONGHI EC 680 M. Its width is only 15 cm, which means the equipment will fit even in a compact kitchen. The shiny body of the equipment and chrome-plated parts complement the pleasant impression.
The coffee maker has a power of 1450 W and prepares drinks under pressure of 15 bar. The water container is located on the back of the coffee maker, making it easy to access. The volume of liquid it holds is enough for 2-3 cups of invigorating coffee.
The main advantage of this model is the “Cappuccino” function. With its help, you can whip up a dense foam with just one turn of the nozzle. The action takes a couple of seconds - and the aromatic latte is ready.
The list of features of the coffee maker:
- 3 filters. They will “help” brew coffee for one, two servings or a drink using tableted powder (pods).
- Control. For ease of use, the buttons on the panel are illuminated. In addition, the equipment is equipped with a shutdown timer, which can be set from 9 minutes to 3 hours.
- Menu. You can independently regulate the volume, temperature of the drink and its strength. Programs are installed using special keys.
Manufacturers have not forgotten about the dish heating system. You just need to put the cup on a special tray.
A small disadvantage is the lack of a display on the case. With such functionality, the equipment would look more modern.
Geyser models
Some people still remember these stovetop coffee makers that look like tall teapots with a “waist”. Water was poured into the lower compartment, and ground coffee had to be poured into the central bowl. When boiling, the liquid rose through a special tube, scalded the powder, partially flowing into the upper compartment. The rest flowed back through the filter. This cycle lasted about 5 minutes, as a result of which a hefty portion of not too aromatic, but quite decent strong coffee, brewed several times, was collected in the container.
Such models, in a more modern version, are still sold today, and they are used to brew not only coffee, but also tea, as well as all sorts of useful herbs. True, now they do not need to be placed on the stove - heating occurs thanks to the built-in heating element with a power of 450-1000 W (depending on the volume of the coffee maker). Another difference between this technique is that there is no longer a water cycle. It passes through the coffee only once, causing the strength to be lost, but overall the taste of the drink improves.
When choosing a geyser coffee maker, decide on the required volume. As a rule, there are models on sale for 1-3 servings or larger machines: 6, 9 or 18 units. At the same time, check how many milliliters the manufacturer considers a single serving - the values may differ for different brands.
Popular geyser models:
- Delonghi EMKE 63 with a 600 ml coffee pot allows you to adjust the volume of the prepared drink. But in fact, the useful capacity barely exceeds 250 ml, so you shouldn’t count on the promised 3-6 cups. The model is pleased with the presence of a display and a timer with a delayed start, so you can prepare the coffee maker in the evening so that your coffee is ready for breakfast. The price is about 10 thousand rubles.
- Endever Costa-1020 – a small 300 ml machine provides the ability to adjust the strength of the drink “to suit you”. Portions are prepared quickly, and the price is more than affordable - only 2,500 rubles.
- Bialetti Mukka Express Elettrika is a nice miniature coffee maker with a capacity of 320 ml on a fairly wide stand. Despite the cost of 6 thousand rubles. There are no “goodies” here, except for the power indicator.
Saeco Poemia HD8425/21
The Saeco Poemia HD8425/21 coffee maker will help you prepare strong espresso. Its spacious panel can easily accommodate two cups, each up to 7 cm high. The transparent 1 liter water bottle makes it easy to monitor the water level and is very easy to remove for filling and cleaning.
The color of the equipment is black with a spectacular copper trim on the ends. This original decor will go well with a dark Gorenje MMO 20 MBII microwave oven or a Gorenje BM1200BK bread maker.
Read interesting information about the latter here: The best bread machines for home: review of the TOP 10 models
The main feature of the coffee maker is the patented pressure filter. It whips up the perfect Crema, regardless of the type of coffee beans you choose.
The advantages of the technology include:
- Energy savings. The coffee maker “falls asleep” immediately after operation and turns off completely after 30 minutes.
- Ease of use. The equipment has a built-in water indicator that signals when the tank is empty.
- Versatility. You can make coffee from ground beans or pods.
In addition, the equipment is equipped with a cappuccino maker (or “panarello”) to obtain stable milk foam, as well as a “Dish heating” function.
Different types of espresso coffee machines
Below we will list the best espresso coffee makers that have many useful features and are quite reliable to use.
Melita Barista TS
This device has eighteen programs that are already programmed to prepare your favorite coffee drink. This coffee machine belongs to the class of professional devices. Also, the manufacturer will provide its own recipes, which you will not find on the Internet. The tank has a volume of 1.8 liters. To make coffee, you can use beans or already ground coffee.
This coffee machine allows you to prepare a large number of not only ordinary drinks, but also exotic ones. For example, ristero, long black and much more).
When preparing cappuccino, you can install the tube on both sides of the coffee machine, and a special slider, which is located on the front panel, allows you to adjust the strength of coffee drinks. Also, you can change the volume of water per serving.
This device has a power of 1450 watts, 15 bar of pressure, and a specific thermoblock is involved in heating the water.
Saeco Poemia Focus 8323/39
Saeco Poemia Focus 8323/39 is in the TOP coffee makers for its convenient built-in valve in the holder. It compacts the coffee tablet on its own, so you don’t have to bother with the tamper every time.
The 1 liter water tank has the ability to install a cleaning filter. The machine works with ground beans; you can also use pods. The spacious tray area holds 2 cups for simultaneous coffee preparation.
Advantages of the model:
- manual cappuccino maker for preparing stable milk foam;
- built-in Crema filter, which performs the same function, but with a coffee drink;
- compact dimensions, which are 20x26.5x29.7 cm.
The list of features of the coffee maker includes a built-in hot water supply system, which can be used for brewing tea or other needs. This saves time and energy that goes into operating the electric kettle.
The main disadvantage of the coffee maker is the stand for cups without heating. There is also no automatic shutdown, which means you will have to monitor energy savings yourself.
Electric Turk
In a sense, this is the same electric kettle, but with its own nuances and a recognizable handle. It looks like an ordinary cezve, which is heated not on the stove, but by electricity through a special stand. The average volume of such models is 250-400 ml, power 0.5-1 kW. True, like a real Turk, you will have to monitor her work so that the coffee does not run away. There is no automatic shutdown here, and even in this case it would hardly help.
Which coffee maker you choose depends on your personal preferences. Each type of device is good in its own way, but the output produces a drink of different strength and taste. If you like experiments, then you can buy a combined model. In addition to espresso combines, which differ from conventional coffee makers only in the presence of a built-in mill, there are truly multifunctional devices that work both on the drip principle and as carob ones. In general, there is plenty to choose from.
Delonghi EC 156.B
The small, ergonomic Delonghi EC 156.B coffee maker is an excellent choice for lovers of rich espresso with delicate Crema foam. The equipment body is made of durable heat-resistant plastic with metal inserts. The set includes 2 filters: for one and two servings of drink.
You can brew coffee using ground beans or tablet powder. A stable airy foam, which is an excellent decoration for a macchiato or latte, is made by a manual cappuccino maker.
The coffee maker is controlled by one switch located on the front panel. A special indicator signals the readiness mode.
The “advantages” of the model are:
- Easy to care for. The holder, tray and water tank are easily removed and can be easily cleaned under running water. And the body can be easily wiped with a damp cloth for office equipment.
- Steam supply regulator. This lever is installed on top of the body and is responsible for high-quality whipping of foam. The feed intensity is set independently.
The coffee maker is equipped with a self-shut-off function 30 minutes after use.
It is not possible to program the coffee temperature and volume on this equipment. The technology does not have such capabilities.
Recommendations for selection
- Pay attention to the vapor pressure. For home coffee makers, you can take machines with steam pressure from 4 to 9 bar.
- It is not critical if the device body is made of plastic rather than metal. The main thing is that the horn itself is made of metal, preferably high-quality stainless steel. This will significantly improve the taste of the prepared coffee drink.
- The larger the family or the number of people consuming coffee, the larger the container you need to choose. The cost of the coffee maker itself depends on the size of the boiler. For household appliances, the best choice would be a tank volume of 1 liter.
- The power of the device is also important. In order to save money, it is better to choose models with a power of up to 1 kW.
- And, of course, you need to pay attention to the dimensions of the selected device so that it fits harmoniously into your interior.
Advice!
Carob-type devices usually do not have a coffee grinder. Therefore, it is recommended to purchase it separately and grind the coffee beans right before brewing them. The drink will be more aromatic and tasty. Ratio to get delicious coffee: for every 30 ml of water you will need from 7 to 9 g of coffee. Watch a video about how a carob coffee maker works
Electrolux EKF7800
The first drip model in the list of the best coffee makers is called Electrolux EKF7800. This budget option will be a good alternative to more expensive espresso coffee makers.
The 1.6 liter capacity tank holds up to 15 cups of finished coffee. Only ground grains can be used for cooking.
The coffee maker is controlled through a small panel, where all operating stages are shown on the touch screen. The coffee strength can be adjusted. For this purpose, the equipment is equipped with a special AromaStrength program.
The main advantages of this specimen include:
- delayed start, the time of which can be programmed 24 hours in advance;
- convenient control over coffee preparation using the display;
- auto-heating of the flask keeps the drink warm;
- the ability to prepare a large amount of coffee at one time;
- Anti-drip mode, which retains residual liquid in the spout.
How coffee makers work
There is the most basic way to brew coffee. Purified water must be mixed with ground coffee and brought to a boil. After this, you can enjoy the prepared coffee. Simple coffee machine models retain sediment, while more professional models use an advanced filtration system.
Espresso and carob coffee makers work a little differently. Such devices do not require the addition of water. The preparation process takes place by releasing steam using high pressure, thereby revealing all the flavors of the drink. The steam is condensed using a certain chamber and turns into coffee.
This coffee machine prepares a variety of espresso-based drinks.
Sencor SCE2001WH
Sencor SCE2001WH is a small and inexpensive coffee maker that is no larger than a toaster. Such equipment operates with a power of 350 W, and a small water tank holds 300 ml of liquid.
Despite its compact size, the appliance can hold 2 cups on the stand at the same time. Only ground grains can be used for work. The stand can comfortably accommodate dishes up to 75 mm high. A nice bonus is the inclusion of two white porcelain cups and a coffee measuring cup included.
This “baby” has a lot of features:
- supply of hot water for brewing tea or cooking;
- reusable filter;
- power indicator on the switch;
- automatic stop of work when the liquid tank is empty;
- anti-drip system, which prevents coffee residues from the spouts from falling onto the stand.
The characteristics are complemented by a rubberized non-slip stand and a wide palette of body colors (green, red, white, black). This coffee maker can be used while traveling or on business trips.
Delonghi
The device characterizes itself as a device that has high quality and reliability, as well as stable operation. The internal filling is packed quite tightly and is 19.5 centimeters wide. This coffee machine fits comfortably in the kitchen for home use.
Also, compactness means that it is time to reduce water reservoirs. This model has a 1.4 liter capacity for water and 150 grams for coffee beans. Such values can be considered quite decent. Constantly, when the container that is intended for water is removed, you need to move the device.
The model has the simplest menu and infusions for preparing four types of milk drinks. Drinks may differ only in the ratio of water, coffee and milk. Also, you have the opportunity to set the necessary values for certain items. This is a very convenient function if you are a fan of strong cappuccino or, conversely, weak coffee with a lot of milk.
The device is equipped with 1450 watts of power and 15 bar pressure. A touch panel is provided, which is quite simple and easy to use.
Delonghi ECP35.31
The Delonghi ECP35.31 model belongs to the category of professional equipment, as evidenced by its size and price. The black glossy body with metal inserts is designed in the “Modern” style and will suit any kitchen interior.
The carob coffee maker is equipped with 3 nozzles: for one, two cups of drink or coffee using a pod. The spacious stand can accommodate two cups at once. You can use large dishes up to 13 cm high.
The volume of water in a serving and the strength of each cup of coffee can be adjusted independently. There are separate buttons on the control panel for this purpose.
This model will delight customers with 5 features:
- Dish heating function.
- Power off after 30 minutes in automatic mode.
- The ability to regulate steam output at two levels.
- “Cappuccino” technology for making fluffy foam.
- The original Extra DripTray cup stand.
This equipment does not provide for the installation of a filter to adjust water hardness. True, the plaque that appears can always be removed with any descaling agent.
Types of Espresso Coffee Makers
Espresso can be prepared using a carob coffee maker. It is called so because of the horn-shaped tubes through which coffee is poured. They are necessary for the smooth passage of steam. At the moment there are two types of such machines:
- The pump type carob has a boiler-reservoir in its design. In it, the water heats up quite quickly to a temperature of 95 degrees. After this, a pump with operating pressure drives it through the pre-compressed coffee. This preparation method allows you to extract the flavor from coffee beans as accurately as possible. The power value of such devices varies from 1000 to 1700 W.
- Steam carob. Here the water in the boiler heats up to 100 degrees and turns into a vapor state. A pressurized pump forces steam through the grains. Condensation settles on the walls of the tank. Thanks to this preparation method, all the caffeine is extracted, resulting in a rich taste. The power of these machines is about 1000 W.
Kenwood ES020 kMix
The next level of the rating is occupied by a model from an English manufacturer - Kenwood ES020 kMix. The equipment is equipped with a removable 1-liter water bowl and a compartment for convenient storage of filters. There are two of them in the set: for quickly preparing one or two servings of a hot drink. A holder with a reliable lock holds the filters firmly, which completely prevents them from falling out during cleaning.
The coffee maker is controlled using indicator buttons, which indicate in yellow that it is ready for use. The removable drip tray makes it easy to keep your equipment clean. The filter for cream foam is also collapsible.
Among the advantages of this technique for coffee lovers:
- professional milk frother;
- special section for storing dishes;
- Built-in filter that cleans the water efficiently.
The equipment lacks automatic shutdown. Plus, purchasing this equipment may be useless for those who prefer coffee from pods - this model only works with pre-ground beans.
We have already written: How to choose a coffee grinder in 3 steps: a guide for coffee lovers
Which coffee maker to choose
1. True coffee lovers, as well as all those who like to experiment with different varieties, cannot do without a small electric Turk - maximum 500 ml. It is advisable that it has an automatic shut-off feature, otherwise your coffee will regularly run out.
2. The best option for those who like a weak drink, but consume it in large quantities, are drip or geyser models. Choose the container at your discretion, but the larger it is, the higher the power of the device should be. The only limitation is that for home drip coffee makers it is better not to exceed 750 W.
3. Drip and geyser devices are also suitable for the office, but with an increased volume of the coffee pot: up to 10 liters in the first case and up to 1.3 liters in the second. Here you will need high power and additional functions such as Drop-stop, Auto-heating and Strength control.
4. Lovers of strong espresso should take a closer look at pump-action horn units (possible with a complete cappuccino maker). Although such a device is more expensive than filtration or geyser analogues, it makes coffee quickly and tasty.
5. If funds allow, feel free to buy a capsule coffee machine. Give preference to models from well-known manufacturers, as well as universal devices that can work with several types of pods.
Philips HD 7459/20
Another drip technique is Philips HD 7459/20. Its transparent reservoir holds 1.2 liters of liquid, and its comfortable handle makes it easy to hold even a full bowl. The equipment works without pressure and only with pre-ground coffee.
The model is equipped with technology to turn off the power two hours after finishing work. A small display at the bottom of the stand will help you control the process and readiness of the drink. In addition, the equipment has a water level indicator that regulates the amount of water for each serving of coffee.
All parts of the coffee maker are removable, including the filter holder. They can be washed under running water or in the dishwasher. Reassembling the equipment after cleaning for further work is also not difficult.
The main qualities of this model are:
- small sizes make it easier to store equipment;
- a coffee pot made of tempered glass is many times more environmentally friendly than plastic;
- drop retention technology after pouring coffee will prevent excessive contamination of the tray;
- It is possible to prepare 10-15 cups of drink in one click.
Of course, there can be no talk of any foam for cappuccino with such a coffee maker, as well as, in principle, of this type of coffee. This model, like previous drip models, prepares only a regular black drink.

Delonghi ECOV311BG
The TOP of coffee makers for home is completed by the original model Delonghi ECOV311BG. The equipment body is made in a pleasant soft beige color, the control is push-button.
The functionality of the equipment includes everything you need: cup warming, a manual light cappuccino maker, an anti-drip system. Two separate thermostats are responsible for regulating steam and water temperature. The completely transparent flask holds 1.4 liters of liquid. This is the maximum figure in the line of carob coffee makers.
This model prepares an invigorating drink only from ground grains. The use of pods is not provided here.
Advantages of technology:
- Automatic shutdown. The function allows you to independently program the equipment to turn off after 9, 30 minutes or 3 hours.
- Reliable design. A durable stainless steel boiler and other metal parts guarantee a long service life of the coffee maker.
The stand simultaneously holds two cups in which you can make coffee and tea. For the last drink, the appliance will simply supply hot water.
The equipment lacks a filter to purify the water and a system that regulates the strength of the coffee. Perhaps these are its most significant shortcomings.
The principle of operation and structure of the coffee maker
The coffee maker can be automatic or semi-automatic - the principle of its operation does not change much. As stated, it simply brews coffee, that is, it heats water and forces it through a layer of ground beans, causing them to impart their taste and aroma to the drink.
How exactly this will happen depends on the chosen design of the coffee maker: some models simply pour boiling water over a strainer with granules, others supply hot water under high pressure.
One thing remains unchanged - a set of basic elements of the machine:
1. Water tank;
2. Coffee horn, filter or strainer;
3. Heating element;
4. Power button or full-fledged control panel.
Pressure coffee machines may also have pumps and electromagnetic pumps, and the most advanced models even have built-in coffee grinders and cappuccino makers.
