Milk frothers
If your coffee maker doesn't have an in-built milk frother, fret not. You can still make your favourite flat white, cappuccino or any other drink you like. Just get a milk frother and create your cup of happiness.
Coffee grinders and tampers
Who doesn't love the aroma of freshly ground coffee? Using a grinder helps to crush coffee beans to your desired grind. And, use a tamper to craft the ideal cup every time.
Descaler
Life's too short for bad coffee. So, if you live in an area with hard water, see a warning light on your machine, have been brewing for longer periods, or are noticing gurgling noises while your coffee's getting ready, it's time for a clean-up.
Coffee mugs
Big, bright and brew-tiful or small, solid and simple? Pick whatever you like your coffee in. And if you prefer to have coffee on the go, why not treat yourself to a cool travel mug!
Coffee types
Carousel
Espresso
Concentrated coffee, often served like a shot. Espresso is strong and flavoursome and there are no bells and whistles like other options. The truest coffee experience you can get.
Americano
A shot of espresso, mixed with hot water. You get to decide the ratio of coffee and water. Americano doesn't include milk or cream. Think of it like a diluted espresso that you can enjoy for a little longer.
Flat white
Cappuccino meets an americano mid-way. Flat white is made by pouring micro-foamed milk over a single or double shot of espresso. If you're wondering, the milk is what gives it a creamy texture.
Cappuccino
One of the most-liked coffee types, cappuccino is made with equal parts espresso, steamed milk and foam. It often comes with a sprinkling of chocolate too, probably why it’s so popular.
Latte
Milky goodness in a cup. A latte is made with 1 or 2 shots of espresso, topped with steamed milk and a layer of micro-foam (frothy milk with tiny bubbles).
Mocha
The perfect marriage of your fave flavours. A mocha coffee is a winning blend of espresso and chocolate, topped with milk or cream.

What type of coffee machine is the best for home use?
It really depends on how you like your coffee, and how involved you want to be in making the perfect cup. Pod machines offer quick and easy coffee that’s a step up from instant coffee. Many offer brand collaborations with well-known coffee shops, and you can pick up pods in a variety of popular flavours. Bean-to-cup coffee machines offer a low-effort, barista-style coffee at the touch of a button. Many come with built-in milk steamers, so you can enjoy everything from an espresso to your favourite lattes and cappuccinos. And for the full barista experience at home, an espresso coffee machine gives you the perfect base for you to craft your coffee exactly as you want it.
What is the best all in one coffee machine?
All-in-one coffee machines offer a tasty coffee with minimal effort. Many of the big names in kettles and kitchen appliances offer coffee machines, along with some of the most well-known brands in coffee. From bean-to-cup machines delivering a fresh ground coffee without the fuss to quick, mess-free pod machines, these simple appliances elevate your morning cup. Some come with a range of presets offering you a variety of coffees to enjoy, so choosing the right machine really is a matter of taste. Add a milk frother to enjoy steamed or foamed milk to really bring café culture home.
Which is the best coffee pod machine?
Pod coffee machines are all about good coffee in a flash. You’ll find some of the biggest names in coffee and kitchen appliances in our range, offering simple coffees through to options that will serve up lattes and cappuccinos in no time. The right fit for you will come down to brand preferences and the variety of coffees available, with some offering compatible pods from the biggest names in coffee.
What’s the difference between coffee machines and coffee makers?
A “coffee machine” often refers to appliances that brew espresso or specialty coffees—like espresso, pod and bean‑to‑cup models. “Coffee makers” traditionally describe simpler brewers such as filter coffee machines, which produce a smooth, aromatic pot ideal for serving multiple cups. The right choice depends on whether you prefer robust espresso‑based drinks or easy‑going filter coffee for everyday sipping.
