Espresso Machines

THE BEST ESPRESSO MACHINES YOU CAN GET

When it comes to crafting the perfect cup of espresso, your choice of machine is crucial.

The right espresso machine doesn’t just brew coffee; it unlocks all the flavour and aroma your beans offer, giving you barista-level finesse right in your kitchen.

Whether you're a casual sipper or a dedicated aficionado, investing in a quality machine transforms your morning ritual into an art form.

In a sea of options, finding the right fit for your taste and budget is the first step to elevating your coffee game.

JERRY’S PICK | ESPRESSO MACHINE

Breville the Bambino Plus

Price Range: $499 CAD

Why It Stands Out: Breville truly makes incredible Espresso machines and this one is my pick because it is one of the more affordable ones plus the steam wand is really good if you are also interested in making milk based drinks and want to work on your latte art skills.

ENTRY LEVEL | ESPRESSO MACHINE

A silver espresso machine brewing a layered coffee drink into a clear glass, with a shorter glass of frothy coffee on the side, on a white countertop.

Breville the Bambino

Price Range: $299 CAD

Why It Stands Out: Gets the job done for a budget friendly price, only downside would be steam wand isn’t the best on this machine - but still great for espressos. (this was Jerry’s first espresso machine)

MID-RANGE | ESPRESSO MACHINE

A stainless steel espresso machine brewing two cups of espresso. Two glasses of finished coffee beverage and a plate with a pastry are on the counter.

Price Range: $979 CAD

Why It Stands Out: At this point you might think I am sponsored by Breville… Another incredible machine which has a built-in grinder which offers fresh, customizable espresso, making it a great mid-range option.

This machine is designed to use the right dose of freshly ground beans, ensure precise temperature control and optimal water pressure, and create true microfoam milk, which is essential for latte art.

Breville Barista Express

HIGH-END | ESPRESSO MACHINE

A stainless steel commercial espresso machine with a steam wand, gauges, and control buttons.

Profitec Go Espresso Machine - Brushed Stainless Steel

Price Range: $1,499 CAD

Why It Stands Out: Compact yet powerful, the Profitec Go is built for those wanting a high-quality espresso experience at home. Its PID temperature control and stainless steel design ensure consistent shots and durability. With fast heat-up and a professional steam wand, it’s perfect for those who love espresso without needing a full commercial setup.
