I'm a certified barista, and these are my 3 favorite small coffee machines that deliver delicious espresso without dominating your kitchen
I test over a dozen coffee makers every year, and these are the 3 best compact models I recommend for cafe-quality espresso every time.
For those with limited kitchen space, enjoying cafe-quality espresso doesn't have to be a pipe dream. While fully automatic machines capable of making a variety of beverages require ample counter space, smaller options can still deliver excellent espresso. After testing numerous coffee makers in compact kitchens, three stand out as top choices: the Lavazza A Modo Mio Jolie Evo, the Philips Baristina, and the DeLonghi Dedica Duo.
The Lavazza A Modo Mio Jolie Evo is the smallest coffee maker tested, measuring just 4.9 x 8.3 x 13 inches. Its compact size belies its ability to brew a great espresso using Lavazza's A Modo Mio pods. Users simply drop a pod into the machine, press the brew button, and stop the flow when satisfied. While the pods are plastic and not easily recyclable, the espresso flavor remains true to the coffee itself, free from artificial sweetness. The Baristina and Dedica Duo offer alternative compact options with similar brewing capabilities.
