Calling all coffee lovers far and wide. Whether you love a long black or fancy a frothy cappuccino, you’ll want to read this. 


We all love a good cup of coffee. Hey, for some of us, it’s a daily necessity. But who can afford to buy one every day? We hear you. Coffee never tastes as good at home, right? Wrong! As it turns out, coffee from home can taste just as good if you have the right coffee machine. And look, we heart our barista too, but now you can drink your morning brew without even leaving the house #signmeup. 


Let’s explore our favourite types of coffee machines for home to give you a hipster coffee house experience (frothy milk and all) – without breaking the bank.

Which type of coffee machine is best for your brew?

There are a few different types of coffee machines that can elevate your at-home coffee experience. From single-serve and pod coffee machines to espresso machines and unique alternatives, there's a perfect coffee machine for every coffee lover.

Craving convenience and a wide variety of flavours? A pod coffee machine is all you need. If you’re a fan of freshly ground beans and customisable brews, a swish espresso machine will do the trick. For a distinctive twist, try a cold brew coffee maker. 

Whichever type you choose, get ready to recreate your morning ritual with the best coffee machine for home and savour every sip from the comfort of your own kitchen.

Single-serve and pod coffee machines.

These little guys are perfect for time-poor folks who still appreciate a good brew. We’ve all seen a Nespresso coffee machine in action; throw a pod into the machine, hit a button and watch smooth, hot coffee cascade into your mug. 

If this is you, you’ll love the minimalist design of a Delonghi coffee machine like the Betta Home Living, Delonghi Nespresso Essenza Mini Solo Coffee Machine. These little machines take up almost no space on your countertop, and there’s a heap of pod flavours to choose from, including decaf. 

Or get real-tasting Italian coffee in style with this Smeg coffee machine, The Good Guys, Lavazza A Modo Mio Smeg Capsule Machine in Cream. Its chic aesthetic and simple interface make it a must-have for aesthetically-minded coffee-lovers. 

Espresso coffee machines.

Does your morning routine demand freshly ground beans and a strong taste? We get it, and these espresso machines are for you. Don’t let the name fool you; these machines can make everything from a cappuccino to an iced coffee. 

Be your own barista, and go for the complete works with a Breville coffee machine like The Good Guys, Breville The Barista Espresso Coffee Machine. It’s bursting with features, including a bean hopper, grinder and portafilter, plus a steam wand for silky smooth hot milk and auto temperature control for the perfect espresso. This is the ultimate coffee machine for home.

Keen on a simpler design? Try a Sunbeam coffee machine like this one: Appliances Online, Sunbeam Mini Barista Espresso Coffee Machine in Black. It’s perfect if you’re just starting your new gig as an at-home barista! 

Something a little different.

Love to savour your morning coffee experience? You might be looking for something different from your traditional coffee machines. 

If this sounds like you, opt for a unique cold brew coffee maker like The Nile, Asobu Cold Brew Coffee Maker 2 Go in Black 1.1L. Easy to use, it delivers a pure, smooth cup of deliciousness. 

Or seriously push the boat out with a drip filter machine like the Alternative Brewing, Moccamaster Classic. Available in various colours, it makes a beautifully balanced brew we know you’ll love. 

Recreate your morning ritual from the comfort of your own home.
