Pump Espresso Machine Profiles
Guide picks
Pump espresso machines are capable of building more pressure than other types, so they produce a richer and more flavourful shot of espresso. You'll pay the price though.

Briel Chamonix
A nice mid-range machine that offers the basics in espresso making, including pulling shots for two.

Capresso EspressoPro
This high-end machine may cost a little more, but it does produce a higher pressure than most pump machines. You can also make both espresso and cappuccino with ease.

Delonghi Bar140
The Delonghi Bar140 espresso machine has all the features you could need at home.

Gaggia Classic Espresso Machine
Gaggia makes excellent machines but their price puts them out of most people's range. But if you're looking for quality, the Classic is top of the line.

Krups Artese
You can't go wrong with a Krups machine. The Artese is a good, basic machine that can introduce you to the world of home espresso making.

Krups Vivo
The model to start with in the Krups line. Just the basics. Great if you don't need a machine with any gadgetry.

La Pavoni EP Espresso Plus
Espresso does come from Italy, so it's no surprise that great espresso machines are also Italian. The Espresso Plus makes cappuccino too.

Mr. Coffee European Espresso Maker
You don't have to spend a fortune to get an espresso machine. Mr. Coffee has a number of models that won't break the bank.

Saeco Magic Cappuccino
Another great espresso machine from Saeco. This gem will make you fell like a barista in your own home.

Saeco Via Venezia
The all-metal design of the Saeco Via Venezia might make you feel like you've purchased a commercial quality espresso machine.
