coffee machines are important in any household. They can be a great way to make the perfect cup of your favorite drink, or they can also be a huge inconvenience. Especially when you’re dealing with one that costs less than $100, it can be difficult to ignore the potential cost. That’s why it’s so important to know how small your coffee machine is going to be!
Great little machines like the VueMini get you started on the small side, and leave you with a tiny cup of java for sure. But for those who really want it and cannot wait for their next project, there are still some great espresso machines out there that will produce even more amazing drinks. Check out these 9 small coffee equipment reviews to get an idea of what kind of system is right for your home.

FAQs
What is the smallest espresso maker?
The designed to be small enough to carry in your pocket, the Picopresso lets you brew that perfect shot of espresso coffee no matter where you are. The Picopresso stands at 10.5cm tall, or a little above 4 inches, making it perhaps the smallest ever coffee machine to be able to pressure-brew an espresso.
The built-in grinder is incredibly easy to use and it produces a smooth and well-constructed cup of espresso coffee.
The one thing I didn’t like about this machine is that it doesn’t come with a drip tray so if your drip tray breaks you have to find another machine.
What espresso machine does Starbucks use?
The machine is not a barista, it is a machine that makes espresso beverages. It is not the same as making coffee.
The machine creates hot water that passes through a special filter and an espresso capsule. The steam from the brewing process condenses on to the steam train (the rubber feet) which are then pushed against the coffee beans in order to create espresso drinks. The steam travels up through the brew group (the metal poles) and out of the canister into your cup of coffee.
The process takes around four minutes and it costs €1.50 per 15 ml bottle of water or €1 per 15 ml bottle of carbonated beverage purchased at Starbucks stores worldwide.*
Does Starbucks use real espresso?
I would say that Starbucks uses their coffee beans from the finest roasts available. The beans are ground in-house using a special machine that extracts more flavor from the beans than you can shake a spoon at.
The coffee is then brewed using high-quality espresso machines and served in mocha or americano latte cups.
