Ready for a new coffee machine? We explain the different types of coffee makers and list 10 of the best coffee machines to help you choose more easily.

What types of coffee machines are there?

A stainless steel espresso machine sits beside a steel pitcher and mineral water bottles on a marble surface.

There are several types of coffee makers. Which one suits you depends on your preferences. If you’re a fan of classic filter coffee, go for a filter coffee maker. Do you often drink milk-based coffees such as cappuccinos and like setting your own coffee strength? Then a fully automatic espresso machine or cappuccino machine may be right for you. Prefer to control every step yourself? Choose a manual (piston) machine. If you’d rather have the convenience of pads or capsules, we offer machines from Nespresso, Senseo, L’OR and Dolce Gusto.

How long does a coffee machine last?

A dense layer of brown coffee beans fills the frame, creating a rich, textured surface with subtle variations in shading.

Lifespan depends on the model and how it’s used. Typically, a coffee maker lasts 5 to 10 years, provided you clean and descale it regularly. Intensive use shortens its lifespan compared to occasional use.

How do you descale a coffee machine?

A person in a striped shirt makes coffee with a coffee machine and a white mug in a bright kitchen.

To extend your machine’s life, clean and descale it regularly. Limescale can clog your machine, which is not only harmful to the appliance but also affects the taste. Descaling steps vary by model; check the manual or manufacturer’s website. In most cases, you fill the water tank with descaler and run a rinsing cycle.

On a table against a red wall are a coffee maker, a bowl of cookies, and several white cups and saucers.

This page highlights 10 of the best coffee machines, but there are many more excellent options. To find the right one, decide whether you prefer a classic filter coffee maker, a bean-to-cup machine, the convenience of capsules or pads, or the full control of a manual machine. If you often drink milk specialities, check whether the machine has a milk function. If not, a separate milk frother is also an option.
