Espresso machines compared 2026

Looking for espresso machines that hold up in everyday use and are worth their money? Espresso as at the bar: 9 bar brewing pressure, temperature stability and milk frothing power, from entry-level machines to dual boilers. Here you will find rated models with their key figures, features and a guide price.

We rate every product independently on build quality, performance, handling and value for money, without sugar-coating and without hidden promotion. That way you can see at a glance which model really fits your budget and your coffee routine. How we rate is explained in our rating methodology. Prices are in euros from Amazon.de and may differ in your country.

Compare the machines at your own pace and switch, if you like, to the overview of all machines or to the interactive comparison. Not sure which type of machine suits you? The coffee finder helps with a few questions.
