Whether you’re an espresso aficionado or a beginner in all things coffee, the best espresso machines can help you create high-quality espresso drinks right in the comfort of your own home. Many models come with useful features like built-in automatic milk frothers (great for whipping up lattes and cappuccinos) and other barista-approved accessories that make brewing a breeze. Some models are lightweight and portable enough to easily move around the house or bring with you while traveling. If you’re on the hunt for a machine that will deliver coffee-shop-level drinks, we spoke with coffee experts for their espresso machine buying tips. How to choose the best espresso machineWhen choosing the best espresso machine, experts agree that you should consider space, budget, purpose, and any cool features you’d like to use.“Definitely think about how much effort you’re willing to put in the morning,” Sebastian Ventura, director of education for New York–based Colombian coffee company Devoción, tells SELF. Ventura says that if you want just to press a button and go, an automatic espresso machine may work best for you. Alternatively, if you’re interested in a more hands-on experience, a semi-automatic machine may be a better fit. “A semi-automatic machine allows you to manipulate all aspects of brewing and achieve a balanced espresso to your tastes,” adds Ventura. If you want a machine that can brew and steam simultaneously, go for a dual-boiler espresso machine.Cary Wong, director of coffee at Partners Coffee, suggests looking for temperature control and stabilization when picking out an espresso machine. “In order to get the best out of the coffee, temperature consistency is one of the key factors in a great-tasting espresso,” says Wong. Overall, the best espresso machines are “user-friendly and not intimidating to operate at home,” he adds.It’s not just about choosing the best espresso machine: Experts also stress that you shouldn’t forget to purchase a high-quality coffee grinder if your espresso maker does not already have a built-in grinder. A coffee grinder helps crush coffee beans into grounds that can then be brewed. “There is so much focus on the espresso machine when setting up a brew bar, but a great grinder is also essential,” Anita Tam, Specialty Coffee Association judge and CEO of Slow Pour Supply, tells SELF. “So including that into your budget is important too.” How to pick the right coffee for your espresso machineWhen picking out coffee for your espresso maker, look for a slightly heavier roast profile, “either a medium or dark roast, depending on your flavor preference,” Lyndia McGauhey, head of training and development at Verve Coffee Roasters, tells SELF. She also says that you don’t need to look for the word ‘espresso’ on the bag. “That simply indicates that it fits the roast category,” she explains. When choosing, she typically likes to go for a blend of two to three coffees to help add more complexity and structure.“That said, espresso offers a vast array of flavors, and it’s okay to have fun and be playful!” McGauhey says. “Do remember that two different coffees will pull differently, so you may need to spend some time dialing in your parameters if you change coffees frequently.” The best espresso machinesTo help you choose the best espresso machine for you, we tapped coffee experts for their picks, broken down by different price points. Below, you’ll find their top picks from high-quality brands like Breville, Nespresso, Cuisinart, De’Longhi, and La Marzocca, available at retailers including Amazon, Williams Sonoma, and Sur La Table.Budget-Friendly Espresso MachinesEspresso machines don’t have to cost a ton of money. If you’re new to the world of espresso or are just looking for inexpensive options, here are some highly rated picks that can help get the job done without breaking the bank. AmazonAeroPress Coffee and Espresso MakerWith over 18,00 Amazon reviews, this budget-friendly option is a cult favorite because of its convenience and ease of use. Small but mighty, with this lightweight gadget, “you can brew just about any kind of coffee; strong Americano-style beverages or iced coffee or just a regular old filter brew,” Oodie Taliaferro, president of the Austin Coffee Collective, previously told SELF. It uses a rapid brewing process to make drinks in no time—simply add ground coffee, stir, and press. 
AmazonImusa Espresso and Cappuccino Maker (4-Cup)From rich espressos and coffees to velvety-smooth macchiatos and lattes, this highly rated model is loved for its handy features and affordable price tag. This lightweight pick is able to brew four servings of espresso at a time. It has light indicators (so you know exactly when your drink is ready to enjoy), a removable drip tray (to help catch any spills), and an easy-to-use milk frother for foamy drinks. 
Williams SonomaBialetti Moka Stovetop Espresso Maker (6-Cup)Affordable and easy to use, this Italian stovetop espresso maker has remained a popular pick for many, many years. In fact, it’s “most likely the coffee maker your grandma had in the kitchen,” Casey Wojtalewicz, founder of Canyon Coffee in LA, previously told SELF. This longtime favorite, which comes in three different sizes, can brew high-quality espresso in a matter of minutes and be used on glass and electric stovetops. Pro tip: To prevent burning, Wojtalewicz advises using the Moka pot with medium or low heat and keeping an eye on it during the brewing process.
AmazonMr. Coffee Espresso and Cappuccino MachineWith over 1,600 highly rated Amazon reviews, this portable espresso machine does the job without the high price tag of similar models. Its extra-large portafilter allows you to whip up four shots of espresso at a time, and its stainless steel frothing pitcher makes frothing milk a piece of cake. The included coffee scoop and water cup, complete with measurement markings, means you have more precise brewing. 
AmazonNespresso Inissia Espresso Machine by De’LonghiSimplicity and consistency are two factors to consider when deciding on an at-home espresso maker. Life can be hectic, “so your machine should easily be able to provide a quality shot of espresso each time,” Nick Newbill, head of marketing at 7 Brew Coffee and former barista, tells SELF. Keeping these important tips in mind, we recommend this user-friendly Nespresso machine, which heats up in 25 seconds, features an energy-saving automatic shutoff, and has a folding drip tray to catch any messes. Even better? Each espresso maker comes with complimentary Nespresso capsules.
AmazonChefman 6-in-1 Easy Brew Espresso MachineMitalee Bharadwaj and Lisa Yala, cofounders of Transcendence Coffee, say that being a home barista is “definitely an undertaking,” but can be a lot of fun once you get the hang of it and start brewing coffee you love. Their best advice is to consider your needs and interests when choosing how automatic or manual you want your machine to be. If you’d like a more hands-on brewing experience, we recommend this affordable all-in-one stainless steel option by Chefman. Featuring an extra large water reservoir, one-touch presets, a built-in automatic milk frother, and 15-bar pump pressure, this machine makes customized coffee-shop-worthy beverages with little to no effort. Double shots of espresso coming right up! 
Williams SonomaCuisinart Premium Single-Serve Coffee MakerAnder Lehto, general manager at The Wild, a full-service coffee and cocktail concept in Denver, uses the Cuisinart Premium Single Serve Coffee Maker. Both compact and portable, this programmable machine works well for all different experience levels. “It definitely works for those who have a busy lifestyle,” says Lehto. With this machine, you can use K-cup coffee capsules or its HomeBarista filter cup, which allows you to fill it up with ground coffee or tea of your choice. 
AmazonL’Or Barista System Coffee and Espresso MachineTurn your kitchen into a French café with the L’Or Barista System. Ideal for people with busy schedules, this espresso machine uses pods that you can pop in quickly to create the perfect cup of coffee or espresso (topped with smooth crema) each time. Even better, it heats up in just 20 seconds and can brew six different sizes of drinks using its dual-capsule recognition technology. Whether you live alone or need a versatile machine for the whole family, this design-forward model has you covered. 
AmazonGevi Professional Espresso MachineA perfect match for smaller kitchens, this compact Gevi espresso machine comes with versatile features. We especially love its Thermoblock Fast Heating System and nifty pressure gauge, which allows you to make perfect drinks in less than a minute, and its hot water function that can be used for preparing tea and instant soups. Be sure to also take advantage of the adjustable steam wand, which comes in handy when you’re in the mood for a latte or cappuccino. 
Williams SonomaBreville Nespresso Essenza Mini Espresso MachineNo space, no problem. You can make high-quality espresso with this ultra-compact machine that can fit in even the smallest of kitchens. It uses a 19-bar pressure pump to create a rich, full-bodied taste and has an energy-saving function that kicks in after nine minutes of inactivity. Both portable and lightweight, this machine also works well for road trips and hotel stays. 
Espresso Machines Under $600There are also plenty of higher-end espresso machines that sit below the $600 price point. Whether you’re ready to take your espresso-making to the next level or need something with a few more features, these options can help you achieve the perfect cup of espresso regardless of how much experience you may have. AmazonGaggia Classic ProBharadwaj and Yala describe this pick as “a great espresso machine that’s also very modular, so you can easily make upgrades and replacements.” The Gaggia Classic Pro, which has been popular for decades, uses a commercial-style portafilter, steam wand, and double-shot baskets to create espresso you (or your guests) won’t soon forget. It also heats up in roughly 30 seconds, which is especially helpful during sleepy mornings when you need to get caffeinated ASAP. 
Williams SonomaBreville Bambino Plus Espresso MachineBreville has become synonymous with high-quality kitchen appliances for a reason—its products are top-of-the-line. Jiyoon Han, Q grader, barista, and co-owner of Bean & Bean Coffee, is particularly a fan of the Breville Bambino Plus, which she says is “approachable for beginners” and is great “to make café-quality beverages at home.” Equipped with an automatic microfoam milk texturing system, it consistently churns out top-notch espresso shots and velvety-smooth froth for a foamy finish. It’s also small enough to fit in kitchens with limited storage or countertop space.
Demi Natoli, beverage director for Graduate Nashville, also highly recommends this brand. Natoli’s Breville espresso machine of choice is the Breville Infuser, which she says is “quick, quiet, and doesn’t take up too much counter space.” Natoli also points out that cleanup with this machine is “really easy,” making it great for everyday use. 
AmazonDe’Longhi La Specialista ArteAccording to Wong, the De’Longhi La Specialista Arte is a great approachable home espresso machine with excellent temperature control. “I love that it comes with tools that a barista would use in the café,” he says. Say, for instance, a commercial machine-style steam wand for latte art. This option checks off all boxes with a sleek stainless steel design, and detachable, dishwasher-safe parts. Make sure to use the included descaler (a cleaning solution specifically formulated for coffee and espresso machines to help get rid of buildup) to keep it in tip-top shape. 
Splurge-Worthy Espresso MachinesIf you’re an espresso enthusiast wanting to invest in a top-of-the-line espresso maker or are looking for an espresso machine with all the bells and whistles, then these higher-price models may do the trick. Although expensive, these machines are often used in coffee shops around the world—so you know you’re getting a high-quality brew each time. Williams SonomaBreville Barista ProJosey Markiewicz, senior director of the café at La Colombe, likes the Breville Barista Pro because of its ease of use and relatively compact design. “It has an onboard grinder and detachable hopper, which is spectacular because, as we all know, the grinder is the most important tool in our coffee toolkit,” says Markiewicz. This model comes in six different colors and is also equipped with a swivel steam wand and frothing nozzle, perfect for those mornings when you feel like a latte or cappuccino. It also has an impressive three-second heat-up time. 
If you’re looking for a Breville model that offers even more, then Cortes, a barista and assistant manager at Cafe Grumpy’s Coral Gables location, recommends the pricier Breville Dual Boiler BES920XL because it doesn’t require heavy maintenance for normal use and is easy to take apart and clean. It also comes with a ton of useful accessories including dual wall filter baskets, an integrated tamper, and a water filter. “My favorite thing about it is that you can schedule a timer on the machine, and the machine will be ready to brew by the time you need it,” says Cortes. This especially is helpful during weekends or busy mornings before heading off to work. 
AmazonRancilio Silvia Pro XIf you want to step up your espresso game, this is the machine to buy. Ventura says that this espresso maker is a good fit for most levels of home-brewers because of its many built-in features, including auto back flushing, a shot timer, and a programmable auto-on function. “The Pro X also has a pre-infusion option, which helps the water to evenly saturate and extract coffee for optimum balance,” Ventura adds.
La MarzoccoLa Marzocco Linea MiniAlthough La Marzocco espresso machines are very costly, they are some of the most beloved and sought-after models on the market by experts and home brewers alike. “My dream home espresso machine is a Linea Mini,” says McGauhey. McGauhey particularly likes that this manual machine is made with commercial components that “stand the test of time.” 
Tam points out that La Marzocco is the “industry standard” and is used in a lot of high-volume commercial settings. This particular model has dual boilers, which is great to have for better espresso extraction and milk frothing capability. It also has a convertible portafilter, which lets you quickly switch between single-spout (great for single-cup brewing), double-spout (when you need to brew two cups at once), and bottomless portafilters (which allows you to see right into your filter basket) in just seconds. 
Suppose you’re interested in a La Marzocco espresso machine, but need something slightly more affordable. In that case, there’s also the Linea Micra ($3,900), which comes recommended by Caitlin Burke, the beverage director of Maman. “It’s a super compact version from the same Linea family of machines we started using eight years ago at Maman,” says Burke. “So, for me, it is very intuitive and easy to use and has more power than most at-home espresso machines I’ve tried.” This stylish, compact model features a dual-boiler system, PID control (this helps better regulate brewing variables, such as temperature and pressure), and a speedy heat-up time, so you know you’ll always be crafting café-quality coffee and espresso.

Vacuum sealers help keep your food fresh for longer and with proper sealing and storage it can also help cut back on food waste. Finding the best vacuum sealer is handy for meal prepping, stocking up on grocery store sales, or freezing leftovers. It can also be helpful for marinating proteins and veggies and is a great tool to have on hand if you like to sous vide. How does this convenient kitchen appliance work? It uses a vacuum system to create an airtight seal around food items.“I often batch cook and freeze soups, fruits for smoothies, cooked grains, and blanched veggies,” Pamela Salzman, a chef and cookbook author tells SELF. “Plus, I like to buy value packs of protein and create smaller portions to freeze for later use.” If you’ve been on the hunt for the best vacuum sealer we connected with a handful of food experts for their recommendations on the best vacuum seal models.The different types of vacuum sealersThere are three types of vacuum sealers: external, chamber, and handheld. With an external vacuum sealer (a popular choice among home cooks) the food is sealed in a bag clamped to the outside of the machine. Although an external vacuum sealer can seal wet foods, it may not work well on liquids, such as soups. Because of this, make sure to freeze liquids before vacuum sealing.With a chamber vacuum sealer, food is placed into a storage bag and then dropped into the machine’s internal chamber. This heavy-duty vacuum sealer can easily seal liquids but is usually large, expensive, and mostly found in commercial kitchens.Lastly, a handheld vacuum sealer is precisely what it sounds like—compact, highly portable, and ideal for sealing smaller items.How to choose the best vacuum sealerWhen shopping for the best vacuum sealer for your kitchen, Salzman recommends first figuring out how much room you have and what you’ll be using it for the most. “Make sure the size works for your space and that it has all the functionality you want,” she explains. For example, vacuum sealers often have different settings, such as moist, dry, pulse, and sous vide. If you’re planning on sealing wet foods, like raw meats, you’ll want to pick a vacuum sealer with a “moist” function. If you need to preserve cookies or other delicate baked goods, go for one with a “pulse” option. For those who need to seal pantry staples, such as cereals and grains, a machine with a “dry” setting should fit the bill.The best vacuum sealersBelow we selected 14 expert-recommended vacuum sealers. You’ll find top picks from popular brands like FoodSaver, NutriChef, Zwilling, and Anova Culinary, from retailers such as Amazon, Walmart, and others.

If you’re someone who loves all things coffee, chances are buying the best French press coffee maker has crossed your mind at least once. Sure, tech-forward drip coffee makers and programmable espresso machines are fun, but sometimes there’s nothing quite like a French press brew. Known for its ease of use and convenience, a French press gives you more control over the coffee-brewing experience while also allowing for easier cleanup. People also love how the French press allows for more decadent, bolder flavors.Whether you’re new to French presses or you’re a self-proclaimed coffee expert interested in upgrading an old model, there’s a French press out there for you. From classic French presses with simplicity in mind to machines that can keep your coffee hot for hours, here are 14 of the best French press coffee makers, according to reviewers.1. Utopia Kitchen French Press Espresso and Tea MakerAmazonUtopia Kitchen French Press Espresso and Tea Maker (34 oz.)The Utopia Kitchen French Press is our top pick for a budget-friendly French press. It features a heat-resistant borosilicate glass beaker and an insulated plastic frame that prevents it from tipping over. This affordable French press can make hot coffee and tea in just a matter of minutes. Its reasonable price also makes it a great gift for the coffee lover (or tea lover) in your life.2. Espro P6 French PressWith this high-quality French press, you can brew coffee like a pro and never have coffee grit in your cup ever again. The Espro 6’s patented double micro-filter keeps your cup of brew smooth. We also love its matte black design and insulated double-wall stainless steel body that keeps your coffee warm for hours. 3. Mueller French PressAmazonMueller French Press Double Insulated 304 Stainless Steel Coffee MakerThe Mueller French Press is made from professional grade 304 18/10 double-layered stainless steel, making it a durable kitchen gadget. This is a heavy-duty coffee maker that is dishwasher safe and can keep your coffee warm 60 minutes longer than thinner steel models and glass carafes. Not to mention it’s also rust-proof and drop-proof. 4. Bodum Chambord French PressAmazonBodum Chambord French Press Coffee Maker (34 oz.)Both durable and stylish, this Bodum French press can brew a delicious cup of coffee in just four minutes—all you have to do is add coarse ground coffee, hot water, and press. 5. Le Creuset French PressThe next time you want to host dinner and dessert at your house, make sure you have this Le Creuset stoneware French press on hand. Not only does this French press work well, but it also looks beautiful when placed on a countertop or table. All you need to do is manually steep the ground coffee beans in hot water and then filter the beans away by using the included plunger and mesh filter. Don’t let the coffee steep in the water for too long or it’ll be too strong; too short and it’ll be watery. Aim for about four minutes and plunge evenly (not too fast, not too slow) and then transfer all the coffee to another pot or mug. You shouldn’t leave coffee in the French press until you’re ready for the next cup because it’ll taste different from your first. Have a tea drinker in the house? This dishwasher-safe stoneware French press is also perfect for steeping loose tea leaves. 6. OXO Brew Groundslifter French PressAmazonOXO Brew Groundslifter French PressOne of our favorite details of this OXO French press is its GroundsLifter feature, which helps make cleanup a breeze. The handy GroundsLifter is made with a long handle and strong base that allows you to quickly and easily get rid of used coffee grounds in just one simple step. Less time spent on cleanup translates to more time enjoying your cup of Joe in the morning. 7. Frieling Double-Walled French PressAmazonFrieling French Press Coffee Maker (17 oz.)If you want to get a little fancy with your French press, then this Frieling Double-Walled French Press is the way to go. A favorite among hotels and restaurants, this stainless steel French press is known for its incredible heat retention—it stays hotter four times longer than glass models. Its patented double filter system, made of fine mesh, also ensures that gritty, sludgy coffee is a thing of the past.8. Cafe Du Chateau French PressAmazonCafe Du Chateau French Press Coffee Maker (34 oz.)Whether you’re a coffee aficionado or a budding barista, the Cafe Du Chateau French Press can help make all your caffeinated dreams a reality. This glass French press is made from borosilicate glass and it has a four-level filter system that ensures that each cup of coffee is smooth and sediment-free. You can also expect to have this French press for a long time—its stainless steel frame is made from 304-grade stainless steel, which means it’s both rust- and corrosion-resistant. 9. Coffee Gator French PressAmazonCoffee Gator French Press Coffee Maker (34 oz.)If you love coffee and camping, then you can’t be without the Coffee Gator French Press. This 64-oz. coffee press is vacuum-layered and has a double filter, which means it’ll help you make a great cup of coffee each time. It also conveniently comes with a mini canister for you to store coffee beans or grounds while you’re out trekking in the woods. 10. Stanley The Stay-Hot French PressAmazonStanley The Stay-Hot French Press Hammertone Green (48 oz.)The Stanley Stay-Hot French Press not only brews coffee but can keep it hot for up to four hours because of its double vacuum insulation design. To use, all you have to do is place your coffee grounds into the French press, add boiling water, allow it to brew for five minutes, and then press the steel plunger. If you prefer cold brew, then you’re also in luck—this rugged coffee maker can keep cold drinks cold for up to nine hours.11. SterlingPro French PressAmazonSterlingpro French Press Coffee Maker (1 l.)The stainless steel SterlingPro French Press is a great choice for those who like multi-functional kitchen tools. Not only does it make coffee, but it can also be used to whip up hot chocolate, tea, cashew milk, lemonade, and herbal drinks, and it also doubles as a milk frother. 12. Fellow Cara French PressAmazonFellow Clara French Press Coffee Maker (24 oz.)The Fellow Cara French Press helps make each coffee brewing process a whole lot easier—it has coffee and hot water lines marked in its carafe, which can help take the confusion out of coffee brewing. We’re also a fan of its nonstick interior, which allows coffee grinds to slide right out when it’s time for cleanup. 13. Espro P7 French PressAmazonEspro P7 French Press (32 oz.)Move over techy coffee makers and fancy espresso machines, the Espro P7 French Press gets the job done without any fuss. All you have to do is combine the coffee and hot water in it, wait four minutes, and then press. You can even keep the coffee in this press throughout the day without it becoming bitter. Available in four different design-forward finishes—polished steel, matte black, matte white, and brushed steel—there’s an option for every kitchen aesthetic. Related:

The best Instant Pot for your kitchen will depend on your lifestyle, budget, and cooking preferences. With the Instant Pot’s massive popularity, it might seem like there are dozens of models out there, but it really comes down to five different types of IPs: the Duo (the original), Duo Plus, Pro, Pro Plus, and Crisp (the latest). It’s essentially like having multiple kitchen gadgets in one with many models, not only being able to pressure cook, but also broil, dehydrate, sauté, and even air fry.This kitchen device can seem intimidating, but what you need to know is it can whip up quick and delicious meals with just a press of a button, (it’s called the set-it-and-forget-it device for a reason). Most Instant Pot–recipe instructions are basically just drop everything inside and close the lid. This can save you plenty of time in meal planning, cooking for your family or special occasions, and just everyday cooking for yourself. Don’t know where to start? We broke down how to choose the right model. How to Choose an Instant PotWhen it comes to choosing the right Instant Pot determining the size is step one. Instant Pot models run from smaller compact versions (three quarts) that can easily be stored on a counter or in a cabinet to larger heavy-duty choices (eight quarts) that can replace other kitchen appliances in your home. If you have a bigger family that you cook for daily you may want to opt for a larger eight-quart Instant Pot model. On the other hand, if you live alone or share an apartment and don’t want to sacrifice countertop or cabinet space then a more compact three-quart model should do the job. The most popular models are the six-quart models which fall right in the middle.Before you buy an Instant Pot you should also consider the type of cooking and meal prepping you’ll use it for, as many Instant Pots are multicookers with a wide variety of cooking functions. For example, options such as the Instant Pot Ultra 80 10-in-1 Pressure Cooker (8-qt) and Instant Pot Duo 7-in-1 Pressure Cooker (3-qt) double as a sterilizer that parents may find particularly helpful. Others, such as the Instant Pot Ultra 10-in-1 Pressure Cooker (6-qt), have the ability to make cakes, which may be ideal for a dessert person who likes to bake a lot. This model is also a great fit for those who want more customization when making food. Some Instant Pots have programmable cooking functions, Wi-Fi connectivity, and, not to mention, Instant Pot accessories that you can buy separately, so consider the best option to fit your needs. The Best Instant PotsWhether you’re someone who’s looking for an easier way to prepare meals or would like to have fewer appliances cluttering up your cabinets, an Instant Pot can be a great investment. If you’re in the market for an Instant Pot, we’ve rounded up some of the best Instant Pot models out there based on highly rated reviews. And if you’re someone who is looking for more homemade meal ideas, then you’re in luck—many Instant Pot models also come with a free app that includes nearly 2,000 Instant Pot recipes. IP Facebook and IP Reddit communities are also great resources for IP chefs and new buyers.1. Instant Pot Duo 7-in-1 Pressure Cooker (3-qt)WalmartInstant Pot Duo 7-in-1 Electric Pressure CookerIf you’re someone who has a limited amount of countertop space but still wants to do it all, then the Instant Pot Duo 7-in-1 Pressure Cooker is a great option.

We especially love its compact size (three quarts) and the fact that it’s versatile enough for different recipes like soups, desserts, eggs, oats, and more.Sizes available: 3-Qt, 6-Qt, and 8-Qt2. Instant Pot Duo Crisp 11-in-1 Air Fryer and Pressure Cooker (6-Qt)AmazonInstant Pot Duo Crisp 11-in-1 Air Fryer and Electric Pressure Cooker ComboInstant Pot has really outdone itself with the Instant Pot Duo Crisp 11-in-1. Not only can home cooks use it for pressure cooking, but it also doubles as an air fryer, a rice cooker, and even a yogurt maker. We’re fans of its removable air fryer lid which allows you to make crunchy, tender air-fried foods like rotisserie-style chicken, french fries, and more.
