We looked at the overall design, prioritizing those with a small footprint and slim silhouette that didn’t exceed 35 linear inches in size. We considered small espresso machines from top brands only, including Breville and De’Longhi, with the goal of including automatic and manual options across a range of price points. Some people prefer the convenience of using Nespresso capsules while some people prefer the flexibility of a machine that can use any ground coffee beans. Figuring out which model is the best for you depends on budget (potentially plus the cost of capsules), whether you tend to drink plain espresso or lattes (or both), and whether you want some control over the brewing process versus pushing a button. You already know you're in the market for a machine with a small footprint-check. It's very rare for small espresso machines to have a built-in grinder. Many include milk frothers to make foam for a latte or cappuccino and are typically manual for compact machines, though some models include milk temperature and foam texture settings. Nearly all have an internal pump to generate pressure and force steam through coffee for extraction, along with a water reservoir, which is usually removable. These days, most small espresso machines are either automatic capsule (insert capsule, press button) or semi-automatic for manual brewing with a portafilter (the spoon-like device with the handle that holds coffee grounds).
