5 automatic coffee machines $500 - $1,000
If you’re thinking about buying a coffee machine, you might be surprised to find that you can snap up some highly rated, fully automatic coffee machines for some very affordable prices.
Here, we look at five manual espresso machines that cost between $500 and a thousand dollars or so and have been rated highly by customers who value their ease of use as much as the delicious coffee they make.
For the love of convenience - as well as coffee!
If the coffee lover you’re buying for isn’t the type to get involved with the measuring, grinding and tamping required by manual coffee machines, an automatic espresso machine could be the perfect gift. With built-in grinders, automatic espresso machines can deliver the superior taste and aroma of freshly ground coffee, without the need to buy a separate grinder.
Similarly, the integrated milk frothers do away with the need for additional jugs or appliances, enabling you to truly enjoy a barista-quality coffee at the touch of a button or two. Automatic machines also allow you to customise strength, temperature and size, so you can experiment with the settings until you find the right combination to make consistently perfect coffee, every single time.
5 highly rated automatic espresso machines - approx $500 to $1,000
1. Beko Automatic
The no-nonsense, straight line design of this Beko machine is reflective of its simple functionality. The adjustable nozzle accommodates various cup sizes, and the milk frother lets you perfect your latte art. The built-in coffee grinder allows you to experiment with coffee bean grind coarseness using the five settings. The removable drip tray makes for easy cleaning, and anti-slip feet ensure stability during use.
2. Philips 2200 Series LatteGo
The LatteGo lets you effortlessly make espressos, flat whites, long blacks and cappuccinos at the touch of a button, crowning them with a velvety froth. Its ‘My Coffee Choice’ feature lets you adjust aroma, strength and quantity, and you can use the intuitive touch display to experiment with 12-step grinder levels. The fully removable brew group and dishwasher-safe parts make for easy cleaning and maintenance. Promising ‘20,000 cups of pure pleasure’ courtesy of durable ceramic grinders, this one should satisfy the cravings of even the most ardent coffee connoisseur.
3. Smeg 50’s Style with Steam
This retro-style machine from Smeg may have undeniably good looks and be available in a range of colours, but it’s also highly practical and boasts user-friendly features like touch clock and alerts for a full coffee grounds container and an empty water tank. A removable brewing unit and water tank make cleaning and maintenance a breeze, while the generous 8-cup capacity in the coffee grounds container allows you to make multiple brews before needing to be emptied. Setting it apart from many other automatic machines, it also has a hot water/steam wand, which can be used for frothing milk manually or even for making tea.
Looking for Italian-style espresso perfection? Drawing on over 80 years of coffee maker expertise, this unit from Gaggia has been crafted for customisation, so you can adjust the variables until it makes your espresso exactly how you like it. Equipped with 100% ceramic grinders with five coarseness settings, Gaggia prioritises consistent performance while preventing bean overheating. The Memo function lets you personalise coffee length and strength and save the settings for future use, while the automated cleaning cycle keeps the machine, and the taste of your coffee, fresh.
5. Delonghi Magnifica Evo Titan
The seven coffee presets in this stylish matt black and titanium machine from Delonghi mimic the skills of your local barista to deliver a truly premium coffee experience. While the Magifica automatically doses and tamps coffee grinds and textures milk with the LatteCrema system, you can personalise your brew with adjustable size, strength, and temperature settings. Maintenance is simple too, with automatic rinsing at start-up and shut-down, and an alert when the machine needs descaling.
