1. STRAIGHT SHOOTER
This sleek single-serve espresso machine is ideal for beginner baristas and seasoned shot pullers alike. It's easy to set up, easy to clean and heats up fast, allowing you to make several coffees in a row. The size is right, too: Its narrow width is countertop-friendly. You will, however, have to grind your own beans.
-Chantal Braganza Breville Bambino, $450, breville.com.
2. FULL SERVICE
I love lattes but dislike the extra work that comes with pulling shots and frothing milk. This machine saves time with seven one-touch recipes and presets for perfectly delicate foam (heads-up, you'll need to work to keep the nozzle clean). It's pricey but worth it if you make a couple of coffees a day, and it makes a perfect cup every time.
-Sun Ngo DeLonghi Magnifica Evo, $999, delonghi.com.
