Compared by specification
Product pages answer which shop is cheapest. These answer the question before it: of everything that meets the specification you need, which is cheapest, and what does each price actually buy.

Espresso Machines With PID Temperature Control
357 products
Machines that hold brew temperature electronically instead of letting a thermostat swing around it — the single change that most affects how repeatable a shot is.
Dual Boiler Espresso Machines
318 products
Machines with a separate boiler for brewing and steaming, so a shot and the milk for it do not have to wait for each other.
Two Group Espresso Machines
279 products
Two brew groups, so two drinks can be pulled at once. The size a busy counter needs, and the point where plumbing and three-phase power start mattering.
Three Group Espresso Machines
175 products
The volume end: three groups, plumbed, and specified for a shop rather than a kitchen.
Decaf Coffee
162 products
Decaffeinated beans from the roasters we track, by roast level and bag size — the part of a roaster’s range that is hardest to compare because so few shops carry the same one.
Single Boiler Espresso Machines
158 products
One boiler doing both jobs in turn: you brew, then wait for it to come up to steam temperature. The cheapest way into real espresso, and the compromise everyone starts with.
Flat Burr Coffee Grinders
149 products
Grinders with flat burrs, the geometry most espresso-focused grinders use. Burr diameter is the number that separates them.
Espresso Machines With Flow Control
137 products
Machines that let you change water flow during the shot, which is how extraction gets shaped rather than merely repeated.
Stepless Coffee Grinders
135 products
Grinders whose adjustment is continuous rather than clicked, so you can land between two settings instead of taking the nearer one.
Paddle Espresso Machines
90 products
A paddle rather than a button: you open the group by hand and control how the shot starts. The mechanical version of what flow control does electronically.
Bottomless Portafilters
41 products
Portafilters with no spout, so the extraction is visible and channelling shows itself the moment it starts. Sized by basket diameter.
Conical Burr Coffee Grinders
24 products
Grinders with conical burrs — generally quieter, generally cheaper for a given size, and a different cup rather than a worse one.
Heat Exchanger Espresso Machines
13 products
One boiler doing both jobs through a heat exchanger — the traditional answer to brewing and steaming at once, usually well below a dual boiler.
Plumbed-In Espresso Machines
10 products
Machines that connect to a water line instead of a reservoir: no refilling, and the option of proper filtration upstream.
