XP4020 Expert Espresso by Krups, £100 from John Lewis
What's so great about it?
A smart, understated little number for someone who doesn't need the coffee maker equivalent of a sports car to prove how flash and/or what a coffee expert they are.
It's no slouch, however - night owls will be glad to hear it can brew a morning wake-up cup in under a minute, while Thermoblock technology gets the water temperature just-so for both a smooth, unburnt flavour and a piping hot drink. You can choose between pods or loose coffee, and frankly at just a hundred quid, it seems rude not to buy it.
The science: H31cm x W24.5cm x D25.5cm; 1.2ltr water tank; 15 bar pressure.
In other words: At this price, you'll have cash left over to put towards your sports car fund.
