#11 How to Choose the Best Espresso Machine for Home (2025 Guide)
Compartir
Do you want to enjoy a perfect espresso without leaving your kitchen? More and more coffee lovers are looking for a home espresso machine that brings the experience of a specialty coffee shop to their homes.
At Black Jebena, we've been roasting and serving specialty coffee for some time now. After testing and listening to our customers, we've selected two brands that stand out for their reliability, design, and results at home: Sage and KitchenAid (and soon DeLonghi too).
Our philosophy is clear: the important thing isn't selling a machine, but rather that you enjoy good coffee every day. That's why we offer reasonable prices and, with every coffee maker, you'll receive a free bag of our freshly roasted coffee.

Why choose an espresso machine at home?
Many people start with capsule or Italian coffee makers, but switching to espresso completely changes the experience:
- Quality in the cup: stable pressure, fresh grind and temperature control.
- Versatility: from an intense espresso to cappuccinos or lattes with textured milk.
- Long-term savings: lower cost than capsules and better taste.
- Barista ritual: making espresso at home is a moment of enjoyment and learning.
Key factors for choosing your home espresso machine
1. With or without grinder
Ground coffee loses its aroma in a matter of minutes. A machine with a built-in grinder—or a separate grinder—always ensures the best flavor.
2. Milk steamer
If you only drink espresso, you don't need it. But if you enjoy cappuccinos or flat whites, the frother will make all the difference.
3. Super-automatic or manual
- Super-automatic: Prepares coffee at the touch of a button. Ideal if you're looking for speed.
- Manual or semi-automatic: requires pressing, controlling the extraction, and frothing the milk. In return, it offers a much closer experience to that of a barista.
4. Size and budget
Consider the space available in your kitchen and your desired investment range. On our website, you'll find compact options and more complete models with detailed specifications.
