14 Best Coffee Machines in Malaysia

1. Delonghi EC230.BK Stilosa Manual Pump Espresso Coffee Machine

Best manual espresso machine

Looking for the best manual espresso machine that will level up your brewing skill at home? This Delonghi EC230.BK Stilosa might cost more than most other manual espresso machines in this list, but it has everything to justify the expense. It looks cool and stylish – perfect for a modern kitchen – and it’s also pretty compact to easily fit into a minimalist kitchen. 

Special cappuccino system for a rich, creamy froth milk

Thanks to its 15-bar pump pressure,  this Delonghi EC230.BK Stilosa makes a really good espresso. But it’s also great at making a wide range of milk based beverages, thanks to the Special Cappuccino System milk frother that mixes steam, air and milk, thus producing a perfectly rich, creamy froth. Furthermore, it also features 2 separate thermostat for each water and steam temperature, thus ensuring a better accuracy. Now you understand the secret of these baristas to make a really good cappuccino!

Also suitable with instant ESE pods

This Delonghi EC230.BK Stilosa also has a filter holder that’s suitable for making one or two cups of coffee at once, and is also compatible with ESE pods if you don’t want the hassle of grinding the beans. We like that the drip tray fits big glasses and mugs up to 13 cm tall, and it’s also removable for easy cleaning. 

A solid manual espresso machine to elevate your brewing skill

All in all, this Delonghi EC230.BK Stilosa isn’t as feature-rich as those expensive fully automatic espresso machines. But if you want a solid option for a manual espresso machine to level up your brewing skill at home, with a great build quality and a capability to get the most out of your coffee flavours, it’s definitely hard to beat. 

Why buy this:

• Stylish design and solid build quality
• 15-bar pump pressure
• Special cappuccino system for creamier froth milk
• Suitable with instant ESE pods

2. Philips Series 2200 Fully Automatic Espresso Machines

Best bean-to-cup coffee machine

If you’re willing to pay extra for a bean-to-cup espresso machine, this Philips Series 2200 Fully Automatic Espresso Machines is an excellent choice. You can use it to easily make espresso, cappuccino and any other milk-based beverages with a touch of a button, and brew professional-level coffee taste even as a beginner. What sets it apart is, while most automatic coffee machines have a limited customization, this Philips Series 2200 lets you adjust the strength and quantity of your coffee, as well as other different settings to brew a coffee that’s truly yours. 

Top-notch built-in grinder with 20,000 cups durability

Its integrated grinder is also top-notch. Made from 100% ceramic material, it’s claimed to have the durability of 20,000 cups, while the sharp-edged grinders extract the best aroma and flavour from your beans. Furthermore, the 12-step grinding levels means you’ll have a lot of freedom to adjust the coffee strength. 

The signature LatteGo system for a creative latte at home

Another plus point is the LatteGO System. For those unfamiliar, it’s Philips innovation to get a more creamy layer of milk froth, and is designed in 2 parts without tubes or hidden parts so it’s easy to clean in as fast as 15 seconds. Besides that, the machine also keeps the water temperature between 90 to 98C during the brewing process, which in turn eking out the best flavours from the beans. 

Stylish design with touch-screen display

As for the design, this Philips Series 2200 looks modern and stylish, and is equipped with a touch-screen display for ease of use. All the removable parts are dishwasher safe for easy cleaning, while the AquaClean system means you can use it to brew 5,000 cups of coffee without any descaling. It’s a pricey machine nonetheless, it more than justifies the expense with its brewing quality, ease of use, and easy maintenance. 

Why buy this:

• Stylish design
• Easy to use
• Durable and accurate built-in grinder
• Can get the best aroma out of coffee beans
• Very easy to clean and maintain

3. Petrus PE3320 

The cheapest espresso coffee machine

While an espresso coffee machine tends to be very expensive, the Petrus PE3320 comes at a very affordable price. A semi-automatic espresso machine, this gives you the varying options of both manual and automatic coffee machines. Featuring a 20 bar pressure, an adjustable steam knob, a professional milk foam tube, and even a cup warmer, this coffee machine is definitely providing great value at this price point. What we love especially is its retro look, a perfect addition to modern homes.

Why buy this:

• Affordable price
• 20 bar pressure
• Adjustable steam knob
• Espresso brewing and milk frothing function
• Beautiful retro design

4. HiBREW 5 in 1 Hot/Cold Capsules Coffee Machine

Best value capsule coffee machine

If you’re a busy person who prioritises ease of use, you’ll want a quick coffee machine that can brew a quick cup of coffee, and this HiBREW 5 in 1 Coffee Machine fits the bill. This coffee machine serves perfectly brewed coffee with just the touch of a button, and it also has a slim footprint to easily fit a small kitchen space. 

Featuring 5 types of coffee adapters

Unlike standard espresso machines, this HiBREW coffee instant machine is compatible with capsule coffee pods; you can use pod products from Nespresso, Dolce Gusto, ESE and K-Cup. However, what sets it apart from comparable products is it also features a ground coffee adapter, so you can opt to purchase a ground coffee which is a lot cheaper than capsules products.  

19-bar pump pressure for the best aroma extraction

As an instant coffee machine, its 19-bar pump pressure is more than great to brew coffee with rich crema and to really eke out the authentic flavours of the beans. We can’t expect it to be on par with the professional machine, but the result is pretty close in terms of aroma extraction.

We also liked that the 0.6L water tank has a wide mouth so it’s easy to clean without an additional tool to reach its bottom part. On top of that, it also stores discarded capsules and unused capsules for an efficient, space-saving placement. 

Why buy this:

• Very quick and easy to use
• Store unused and discarded capsules
• Instant coffee machine with 5 coffee adapters
• 19-bar pump pressure
• Easy to clean water tank

5. Nespresso Essenza Mini

A reliable no-frill instant coffee machine

The previous HiBREW coffee machine was great and easy to use, but if you want something from a more well-known and reliable brand, you can opt for the Essenza Mini instead. And, with such a minimal footprint, it’s also a great-space saving option even if you only have 10cm of a kitchen countertop space to spare. 

As for brewing coffee, the Nespresso Essenza Mini is pretty basic; it only offers espresso and lungo cup size options. However, with the 19-bar pump pressure, we found Essenza Mini brews a really great espresso quality with a beautiful crema on top of each cup every time. 

Nespresso now has new cappuccino and latte pods series

As an instant coffee machine, the Nespresso Essenza Mini doesn’t have a milk frother included – which is normal for its type. What’s great is that Nespresso now offers plenty of cappuccino and latte drink series using a combination of ground coffee and milk powder. Although these cappuccinoes won’t be similar to the coffee shop quality, it’s still a great way of getting a quick and cheap cappuccino at home. 

As a reliable brand, this Nespresso Essenza Mini comes with a 2 years warranty. 

Why buy this

• Easy to use
• Space-saving and minimalist
• 19-bar pump pressure
• 2 years warranty

6. BioloMix 20 Bar Semi-Automatic Espresso Milk Bubble Coffee Maker Machine

Best semi-automatic coffee machine

If you want the balance of ease of use while still having some customisation to brew your coffee, this semi-automatic BioloMix Espresso Machine can be a great option. With this, you don’t have to check or control the pressure and temperature level, and you still have the freedom to adjust the steam nozzle and the amount of water that flows through your coffee. On top of that, the machine also features a double cup filter, thus allowing you to brew two coffees at once. 

Most mid-range coffee machines around the RM566 price range don’t have a milk frother, so this BioloMix Espresso Machine with a built-in milk frother is a great value for the money. The 1.5L water tank is also large for the price, which is enough to make up to 12 cups of espresso before you have to refill the water. This removable water tank has a wide mouth, but the cover design makes it hard to clean the bottom part without a long brush. Other removable parts are the drip tray and bubbler for easy cleaning. 

Why buy this:

• Good value for money
• Has a built-in milk frother
• Can brew two cups of coffee at once
• Large 1.5L removable water tank

High-accuracy grinder with tubeless system

When it comes to coffee brewing, the De’Longhi Dinamica Plus features conical steel grinders calibrated for 100% accuracy. The De’Longhi Tubeless System reduces the amount of coffee powder left inside the grinder, so only newly ground coffee is used to brew your espresso. There are 2 separate heating systems, one for brewing coffee and another is for the milk preparation, giving perfect temperature for both crucial elements.

11. Airbot Coffee Machine CM8000

An automatic espresso machine at a budget price

If you want a fully automatic espresso machine at a rock-bottom price, the Airbot CM8000 is our top recommendation. Although it’s comparably cheap, the Airbot CM8000 makes a pretty good espresso – thanks to its 20-bar pressure – and it has an adjustable milk frother (with an adjustable foam intensity) also means you can get a milk froth in a jug, and learn to improve your cappuccino or latte art at home. 

This Airbot CM8000 also has some interesting features, one of them is the cup warming tray and a steam cup pre-heat button. For coffee beginners, a pre-warmed cup can help the coffee to retain the crema for longer, and retain its stronger aroma compared to using a cold cup. The retro look isn’t a bad addition either, with a sleek stainless steel body and a minimal footprint. Plus, it has double cup portafilters to brew two cups of coffee at once. 

Why buy this:

• Cheap for a fully automatic coffee machine
• 20-bar pressure

12. illy Y3.3 iperEspresso Coffee Machine

Most compact

Another good space-saving option is this illy Y3.3 iperEspresso Coffee Machine. With only 10cm in width, it’s a great choice for coffee aficionados who live in a limited space such as a minimalist home or an apartment. 

Despite its super compact size, the illy Y3.3 iperEspresso is equipped with a high-pressure pump of 19 bars, which can truly get the best out of the coffee ground. Besides that, we also like the drip tray design that can be raised, which can be useful when brewing a single shot of espresso. It’s also available in elegant colour options, including white, black, red and blue in a glossy finish. 

The drawback, however, is it’s only compatible with iperEspresso Capsules, thus limiting your options. 

Why buy this

• Space-saving
• High-pressure pump of 19 bars
• Raisable drip tray
• Available in white, black, red and blue
• 1 year warranty

This milk ward is also adjustable to produce a rich, creamy froth as you prefer. 

As for the brewing, this Russell Taylors machine uses 19-bar pressure, a built-in thermometer and a 1500W power to create a consistent espresso with a beautiful crema. The large, 1.4L removable water tank is also removable and has a wide opening for easy cleaning.
