Pakistan, and indeed the entire Subcontinent, has been a tea-centric region for long. However, in recent times, coffee has been rapidly gaining popularity. While it may not yet rival the supremacy of tea, it is increasingly becoming the preferred choice of beverage among many Pakistanis, particularly the elite. In this blog, we will explore the finest coffee makers available across all budget ranges, ensuring that even the common people can savor the warmth of this delightful brew. Without further ado, let’s delve into the best coffee makers of 2024.
Breville Bambino Plus
The Sage espresso machine, also known as Breville, is known for its smooth and intense espresso, quick heating, and versatile milk frothing capabilities. It allows customization with three milk temperature and texture settings for a personalized drink experience. Despite its compact size, it provides a barista-style coffee experience. Keep in mind it brews one shot at a time and requires regular cleaning. While not the cheapest, you may find its exceptional performance justifies its price.
Breville Oracle Touch
The Breville Oracle Touch is a state-of-the-art espresso machine known for its user-friendly features and advanced technology. With an intuitive touch screen, it allows easy customization of coffee preferences. The machine includes a built-in conical burr grinder for fresh coffee grounds and features a dual boiler system, precise temperature control, and automated milk frothing for consistent and professional-quality beverages. Its hands-free grinding and tamping simplify the brewing process, making it suitable for both coffee enthusiasts and beginners. The sleek design adds to its appeal, making the Breville Oracle Touch a top choice for those seeking a premium home espresso experience.
Breville The Barista Touch Impress
The Barista Touch Impress integrates a compact grinder, user-friendly assisted tamping, and auto-dosing. This machine stands out as the most user-friendly manual coffee maker, catering to both quick caffeine fixes on busy mornings and leisurely coffee crafting on lazy days. While the automatic programs come close to the quality of manual brewing, this Breville model excels in both roles. It’s a relatively affordable automatic coffee machine that provides top-notch quality with minimal effort.
De’Longhi La Specialista Arte EC9155MB
This coffee machine is designed to elevate your coffee-making experience with its conical burr grinder featuring 8 precise grind settings, allowing you to customize your coffee to perfection. The machine comes equipped with single wall filter baskets for expert extraction of single or double doses. The My LatteArt steam wand ensures silky milk texture, empowering you to add your artistic touch to the foam. With a 15-Bar professional pressure, built-in grinder, barista kit, active temperature control, and a compact design, this intuitive and easy-to-use machine provides a complete package for home baristas.
De’Longhi Dinamica Plus ECAM370
The De’Longhi Dinamica Plus features a user-friendly color touch display, it guides you through customization options such as grind level, coffee strength, quantity, milk froth level, and temperature. While it may require some experimentation for the perfect brew, it consistently delivers intense, smooth coffee with a thick crema. The automatic milk frother ensures rich, stable bubbles. However, it’s bulky, occupying significant countertop space, and compared to other coffee makers, it comes with a higher price tag.
Nespresso Vertuo Next
The Nespresso Vertuo Next is the ultimate single-serve pod coffee maker for those seeking a hassle-free morning brew. Simply insert a capsule, press a button, and let Nespresso handle the rest. The machine offers five different drink sizes, and cleanup is a breeze with the use of pods. However, keep in mind that pods may be more expensive than ground coffee. If you enjoy lattes and cappuccinos, note that the Vertuo Next doesn’t froth milk, but you have the option to purchase a separate milk frother to complement the machine’s features.
KitchenAid Classic 5KCM1208
The KitchenAid Classic 5KCM1208 Drip Coffee Maker is an excellent budget-friendly option with the brand’s signature vintage style and modern features. It can brew 10 cups of coffee, but note that the cups are smaller than standard, so if you prefer larger servings, you may need to adjust expectations. The coffee maker effectively keeps coffee piping hot for over 30 minutes, though cooling time is necessary. It operates quietly during brewing. Overall, it’s a great affordable choice with some stylish and practical features.
Best Coffee Maker for Home Use
If you’re seeking a home coffee maker, whether for remote work convenience or to save on coffee shop expenses, choosing the right one is crucial. For a coffee-shop-quality espresso experience, investing in a top-notch espresso machine is recommended. These machines allow you to adjust coffee strength by modifying factors like water volume, brewing time, and puck compaction.
Notable options for different needs include the compact Breville Bambino or Bambino Plus for limited space, and the De’Longhi La Specialista Arte EC9155MB or Breville Oracle Touch for larger kitchens and bigger budgets. However, espresso machines involve experimentation and can be messy with ground coffee.
For those who prioritize simplicity and cleanliness, single-serve coffee makers (pod machines) are a great choice. The Nespresso Vertuo Next is recommended. Ultimately, the best choice depends on your preferences, space, and budget.
