Rivelia
Italian coffee titan De’Longhi has created something close to automated perfection here. the Rivelia is the best automatic latte and cappuccino maker we’ve tested. And we do mean automatic. It will grind, brew, froth up milk, and deliver as many as 18 different variations on espresso, latte, cappuccino, and iced-coffee drinks. Our main gripe is that all that can be overwhelming, but then, that’s kind of a good problem to have.

Luxe Café Premier
Ninja’s Luxe Café semiautomated espresso machine (7/10, WIRED Review) made the quad shot I’m drinking right now. It’s not quite a coffee shop-level pull (nothing home-brewed ever is), but it’s close enough. It also makes a good cup of drip coffee and cold brew as well. If you want want a machine that can do it all, and do it well, this is a good choice. It’s also very beginner-friendly; you don’t have to be a barista to get good results.

Linea Classic
This is our favorite $200 espresso maker, a price point where it’s tough to find a reliable machine. This is true especially among machines with a pressure gauge and a fast-heating thermopump. Trade-offs are that the steam wand is a little foamy, and the portafilter is lightweight.
