Best budget coffee machines

Great coffee at home doesn't need a ยฃ500 machine. Depending on whether you want espresso, one-touch pods or a full jug, one of these three is your answer.

  1. De'Longhi Dedica EC685

    Best overall
    Research-based pick how we choose

    A slim 15-bar espresso machine that punches well above its footprint. Only 15cm wide, so it fits where full machines can't, and it pulls a genuinely good shot.

    • Just 15cm wide
    • Real 15-bar espresso
    • Steam wand for milk

  2. Bosch Tassimo Vivy 2

    Easiest
    Research-based pick how we choose

    Pod simplicity at its cheapest. Drop in a T-Disc, press once, and it reads the barcode to pour the right drink โ€” from espresso to hot chocolate.

    • One-touch pods
    • Fast to warm up
    • Tiny footprint

  3. Morphy Richards Filter Coffee Maker

    Best for a crowd
    Research-based pick how we choose

    When you need a full jug rather than a single cup. A no-drama filter machine with a keep-warm plate โ€” the best value per cup of the three.

    • Brews a full carafe
    • Keep-warm plate
    • Great value per cup
