However, if you want to upgrade the coffee in your home so that you can have the tastiest wake-up juice any morning you fancy, you really need a coffee machine. The coffee machines below are a fantastic upgrade to any kitchen. So, let's jump right into the best coffee machines for the ultimate cup of the good stuff, shall we?

Our picks for the 10 best smart coffee machines for your kitchen

This is an automatic bean to cup machine. It has an integrated coffee grinder with seven adjustment levels. It also has a milk frother if you love a latte. Plus, it is really easy to clean too. If you love a fancy coffee, this is the coffee machine for you.

The reason we love this coffee machine is that it has so many features and you can create any coffee of your choosing from the best coffee beans around. However, unlike other types of coffee machines like this one, it is very easy to use. So, even if you've never used a coffee machine like this one, you can start creating beautiful coffee very quickly.

Melitta Smart Coffee Machine

This coffee machine has all the features you need to make your favourite coffee every morning quickly and easily. It comes with 21 presets for loads of different coffees so that you can just touch a button and have any type of coffee you fancy. Have a favourite coffee? No worries, this machine can save up to 8 people's favourite coffee types and will make these coffees at just the touch of a button too.

This coffee machine is very popular in offices and even in cafes because it is very simple to use. Yet, it yields one of the nicest coffees on the market.

De’Longhi Lattissima Capsule Coffee Machine

This is a capsule coffee machine with a difference. Now, we love capsule coffee machines, and they will certainly appear on our coffee machine list more than once. However, this capsule coffee machine is different. You see, most capsule coffee machines can create amazing black coffee with one capsule, but they need two capsules to create coffees like lattes. Not this one.

This uses black coffee capsule and then has a separate milk frother to make cappuccinos, lattes and more. This means that any coffee can be completed on this machine in about 25 seconds! So, this capsule coffee machine is certainly one of the quickest on the machine and comes with presets to make it even easier to make your favourite coffee!

Nescafe Dolce Gusto Capsule Coffee Machine

As we said above, we love capsule coffee machines. They are the quickest and easiest way of getting very fancy coffee into your home unless you fancy learning how to use a more complex coffee machine. With this capsule machine, you insert a pod into the machine, add some water, and your favourite coffee will pour out into your favourite mug.

That's it. This capsule machine is so simple to use. The reason that this capsule coffee machine made our list is because Nescafe has one of the biggest collection of capsules for their coffee machine. So whether you love pumpkin-spiced lattes or a complex blend of wonderful coffee beans, you can find a pod to suit you.

Morphy Richards Pour Over Filter Coffee Maker 

Waking up to coffee is the best feeling in the world. This coffee maker has an easy, programmable timer that allows you to wake to your fresh morning brew every day of the week. Just set the time you wake up, get the coffee and water ready the night before, and you'll have fresh coffee from the moment your eyes are open.

This filter coffee machine is great because it has a capacity for 12 cups of coffee. Plus, it also has adjustable coffee strengths too. So, if you love black coffee, this pour-over coffee machine from Morphy Richards is the perfect one on this list for you. This coffee machine also comes in a few different colours so you can match the style perfectly to your kitchen too.

Breville All-In-One Coffee Machine

If some people in your household love pod coffee machines and others love filtered coffee, this is the perfect coffee machine for your kitchen. This coffee machine has the best of both worlds. You can enjoy filtered coffee with this machine, and you can also use Dolce Gusto coffee pods too. Plus, it auto senses the attachment you're using and sets the proper brewing options for you.

So, you can use pods to create lovely coffee and then use selected coffee beans for your filtered coffee. But what if you fancy having a latte with your hand-selected coffee beans? Well, no worries, this coffee machine also has a built-in milk frother. So, whatever type of coffee you like, this machine can prepare it for you quickly and easily!

Nespresso Essenza Mini Coffee Machine

If you don't have much space for a coffee machine, you may be put off by certain coffee machines. Most of the coffee machines on this list have been pretty big and take up a lot of counter space. However, coffee lovers with small kitchens don't need to worry. This mini coffee machine is perfect for you. Just because this coffee machine is little doesn't mean it compromises on taste. It is simply small so that any coffee lover with any sized kitchen can enjoy stunning coffee whenever they like.

This coffee machine is still powerful enough to make coffee in 25 seconds. It also has two settings for coffee strength and Thermoblock technology that heats the water quickly too. So, if you're a coffee lover who's looking for a coffee machine for their small kitchen, caravan or even camper van, this is an excellent coffee machine for you!

De'Longhi Fully Automatic Bean to Cup Machine 

My go-to choice for coffee machines are bean to cup machines. They are the easiest coffee machines to use, they are the quickest, and they make some fantastic coffee. The best part about bean to cup machines is that you choose the beans and the milk, so they are completely customisable to your tastes. However, when it comes to making your coffee of choice, it's as simple as pressing a button.

This coffee machine can make any coffee you have ever heard of. It has a water and milk reservoir (the milk reservoir is removable to store it in the fridge). So, you just select the coffee you want, and this coffee machine will make it for you. If you love great coffee that is easy to make and delicious at the same time, a fantastic bean to cup machine like this one is a must-have!
