Espresso machine

We are often asked which is the best home Espresso machine. There is now a wide range to choose from, from a few hundred dollars up to several thousand.

An espresso machine forces water under pressure through ground coffee to extract the flavour and aroma. Hence the Bar pressure on a machine is very important.


We recommend you choose a machine with a bar pressure of at least 15+. More pressure the better.

Through the year Vittoria conducts promotions where you can win either a professional espresso machine, like the Faema E98 (above) or the Swiss build Solis 90 which has an amazing 19 bar of pump pressure.

Keep your eye out on the website or in store for when these promotions are running.

When choosing a ground coffee for an espresso machine, it is very important to choose the correct grind size. Coffee ground for a plunger will be course compared to coffee ground for an espresso machine which requires a much finer grind.

We recommend Vittoria Oro (Gold) ground which has been ground specifically for espresso machines.
