TechRadar author Cat Ellis shares recommendations for espresso, filter, bean-to-cup, and capsule coffee makers based on the publication's hands-on testing of flavor, milk texturizing, footprint, and daily cleaning. Top picks include the Breville/Sage Luxe Brewer Thermal for insulated drip and 24-hour cold brew, the Ninja Luxe Café for all-in-one espresso and filter drinks, the Philips Baristina ($449.99 list price) as an easy-to-clean budget bean-to-cup option, and the compact De'Longhi Dedica Duo ($299.95 list price). Drawbacks noted by the reviewer include non-adjustable grind settings on the Baristina, bulky footprints on multi-drink machines, and limited or no US availability for certain models like the Jura J10 and updated Barista Touch Impress.
