Our top 10 coffee makers and machines for a stylish caffeine hit

Ah, coffee. Bringer of energy, enthusiasm, productivity… And, yes, a shaky, tear-filled meltdown mid-afternoon if you have too much. But that’s all the more reason to make your morning cup of caffeinated nectar one to savour. With all the coffee makers and machines on offer, there’s sure to be something that fits your taste and budget. Here are some of our new favourites to encourage you to take the plunge(r). 

Bodum Bistro electric coffee grinder

Picture 8 of 10

Unless your machine makes coffee from the bean, you'll usually need to buy a grinder. And if you don't want to give yourself RSI, an electric model is probably your best choice. This is a burr coffee gringer, which coffee experts prefer over a blade grinder as they actually grind the beans rather than just cutting them into small pieces. This one is adjustable so you can grind beans to the right size for filter, espresso, or cafetière, and it has a pre-set timer so you can grind exactly the right amount, plus a friction clutch to help the grinding gear last longer.

It's £79.99 from Amazon.

  • Using modern or latest coffee machine may sometimes give us headache in the operation and maintenance. Sometimes also the tastes are affected that’s why some coffee shops are using the traditional way or the old coffee machine to avoid problem in the operation and maintain customer to keep on coming back.

  • “Stylish” is just shorthand for “looks count for more than how well it works”. I’ve been able to test most of these machines over the past few years, and other than as a kitchen design centerpiece they will all end up in landfills in two years.
