Clean-up is easy, just note that the machine will rinse itself when it shuts off which means the drip tray will need to be emptied more frequently. The built-in milk frother is also removable allowing leftover milk to be stored in the fridge and used again later. We also liked the cappuccinos and lattes which were silky and delicious. When it comes to espresso, the crema was thin but creamy. When we taste-tested the drinks, we found the coffee was smooth, round and nicely hot. It can also brew over ice for iced coffee or other iced drinks.
Non-coffee drinkers will appreciate the hot milk and hot water options for hot chocolate, tea and more. We found it takes some setup work, but once it's up and running, it’s intuitive to use. The machine also has a smart feature that recognizes your preferences and lists your most frequently used drinks first on the display. In our testing, we liked the highly responsive touch screen that offers 16 one-touch or customized coffee drinks like espresso, cappuccino, latte, flat white, iced coffee, regular coffee and more.
All you need to do is push a button to select your drink it doesn’t get much easier. This machine does all the brewing and frothing for you, so there’s no need to pull a shot of espresso, then froth the milk and add it to the drink. If you’re looking for convenience but don’t want to sacrifice quality, look no further than the De’Longhi Dinamica. The only drawback is it's recommended to run a cycle of hot water through the espresso side before pulling a shot, but if you place your mug underneath the portafilter while you do so, the warm water will preheat your mug. Our pros liked the tasty coffee and found the espresso side produces a nice, even crema. The espresso side is convenient with a removable water reservoir and the portafilter can use pre-ground beans or ESE coffee pods. We found not only did it keep the coffee warm for 2 hours, it actually made it hotter. The keep warm setting can be set up to 11 hours and 59 minutes, but the default is two hours. The drip coffee side has a permanent filter that we found easy to change and the coffee brews quickly in about five minutes. This machine packs a lot into one device, and according to one of our testers the footprint is only a little larger than most drip-only machines and about the same size as some espresso makers, so it doesn’t take up too much room on the counter, and you get the function of both machines. There’s no need to buy a separate milk frother since one is built-in to make your favorite coffee house drinks. It has a dual heating system to start a pot of coffee and pull a shot of espresso at the same time.

Along with testing to find the best drip coffee makers, we test coffee makers with built-in grinders, pour-over coffee makers, single-cup brewers, cold brew coffee makers, French presses, portable coffee makers for camping, and so much more. For added convenience, some come with built-in coffee grinders, milk frothers, apps to control brewing and more.įor decades, the Good Housekeeping Institute Kitchen Appliances and Innovation Lab has tested just about every type of coffee maker. They save counter space and, in some cases, save money by allowing you to make a variety of drinks such as regular drip coffee, lattes, Americanos and more instead of going to the coffee shop. But if you're a fan of both styles of coffee and don't want to choose, invest in a combo coffee and espresso maker. One makes a good old pot of coffee while the other is a specialized machine for pulling espresso shots. Typically, coffee makers and espresso machines are two different appliances.
