LaHome 20 bar espresso maker review: sulit auto espresso

The LaHome 20 bar espresso maker is our everyday espresso pick: a fully automatic, one-touch machine with a 4.9 rating and the most sales in our coffee list, at around ₱4,299.

What you get

A real 20 bar pump, which is the pressure you need to pull espresso with proper crema, not just weak brewed coffee. The LCD digital panel and one-touch operation make it beginner-friendly: press a button and it does the work, no barista skills needed. With 284 sold and a 4.9 rating, it’s the most-proven espresso machine here. The listing doesn’t publish the wattage or water-tank size, so check those if you brew for a crowd.

Can it make lattes and cappuccinos?

Yes, it has a built-in milk frother and steam wand, so you’re not stuck with straight shots. Steam and froth a jug of milk, pull your one- or two-shot espresso on the LCD panel, and pour for a latte or cappuccino at home. It takes a few tries to get the milk silky, but that’s the fun part, and it’s still far cheaper than a daily cafe habit. Pair it with fresh beans ground just before brewing and the 20 bar pump rewards you with proper crema rather than the thin brew a low-pressure machine gives.

Is it sulit?

Around ₱4,299 as of July 11, 2026. Check the latest price on Shopee. For a fully-automatic 20 bar machine with the best track record here, it’s sulit: cheaper than most branded espresso makers, and it makes cafe-style shots at home. If you buy one flat white a day, it pays for itself in a couple of months.

Who should buy it

Buy this if you want easy, one-touch espresso at home without learning the manual steps, and you like milk drinks. Compare it with the rest in our best espresso and coffee makers in the Philippines roundup, or decide drip vs espresso in our coffee maker buying guide.
