The Breville Barista Express appears to be a high-priced espresso machine. If you're willing to learn how to use it this is a great at-home espresso maker. It's more efficient than most of the more expensive models. It's a good price for the class and is particularly helpful for those who aren't experienced enough to have an espresso maker that costs up to $100.

4. OXO Brew 9-Cup

A high-tech, intelligent coffee maker that makes excellent coffee with a simple interface. Its sleek stainless steel design and backlit LED display add a stylish look to your kitchen. It comes with one dial to set the amount of cups you want it to make. It also comes with the 2-4 cup setting as well as a 5-9 cup setting. Its brewing technique is similar to pour-over, which many coffee lovers believe makes the most flavorful coffee. The water is heated to the ideal temperature and then poured over grounds using a showerhead to ensure uniform saturation. The coffee brewed coffee machine is then stored in the double-walled, thermal carafe for up to 60 minutes. The pause-and-pour function lets you remove the carafe while brewing and then fill your cup. The machine stops the brewing process, and displays an red light on its LED interface, until you return the carafe. It then resumes brewing.

The OXO Brew 9-Cup coffee maker is certified by SCAA, that means it is in compliance with the strict standards of SCAA's technical standards. Its brew cycle is about the same length as the Bodum BISTRO and Technivorm Moccamaster KBT 741, however, it has more control over temperature, brewing duration and also quality.

In our testing, the OXO Brew 9-Cup made excellent drip coffee and a full-carafe of coffee in 7 minutes and 41 seconds. That's a little longer than the 6 minutes or less the Bonavita Connoisseur and the Moccamaster require but well within the range experts in the field suggest for a decent cup of drip.

It also requires that you grind your own beans prior to brewing. You can select a manual grinder or an automated model such as the Baratza Encore. It has multiple grind settings, and it has a hopper that can be used for whole beans.

The only downside is that the carafe and water reservoir aren't dishwasher safe and could cause issue for certain users. The stainless steel is easily cleaned by hand, though. The OXO 9-Cup is a top contender for the best drip coffee maker because of its sleek design and simple to use interface.
