LATTE BUYING GUIDE

Best Espresso Machines for Lattes

For latte drinkers, milk performance is part of the core machine rather than a secondary feature. The best choice should make it practical to produce both a balanced espresso base and properly textured milk on a regular basis.

01

Our top picks

Ranked specifically for best for lattes, rather than overall popularity.

02

What matters for this decision?

Automatic milk systems can improve repeatability and reduce technique requirements. More traditional steam systems provide greater control, which can matter to buyers interested in learning milk texture and latte-art technique.

03

The trade-off to consider

Convenient automatic milk texturing and hands-on steam control solve different problems. Decide whether repeatability or manual control matters more before paying for features you may not use.

04

How the other machines compare

These machines may still be a better fit when another feature matters more to you.
