The best coffee machine for your home
We know it's not a "good" morning until you've had the perfect cuppa. Whether you want fuss-free coffee to kickstart your day or enjoy the brewing ritual, there's a coffee machine for you.
Bean-to-cup machines
Want cafe-quality coffee at home? Bean-to-cup machines grind fresh beans for every cup, giving you rich flavour and convenience - all at the touch of a button.
Espresso coffee machines
For an at-home barista experience, espresso machines are a treat! They take time but deliver rich flavour. Make sure to check for essential accessories like milk frother, grinder and tamper.
Pod coffee machines
Craving coffee on the go? Pod coffee machines make brewing a breeze. Just pop in a pod, hit a button, and enjoy your perfect cup in seconds.
Filter coffee machines
Looking for a quick caffeine fix? Filter coffee machines brew your favourite ground coffee in batches, so you can enjoy fresh, delicious coffee anytime.
What accessories do I need?
It's the little things that make a large difference. Don't underestimate the power of frothy milk, flawless coffee grounds, and a clean machine. From frothers for that perfect foamy brew, to descalers, find everything to help your machine make that indulgent pick-me-up every time.
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.
