LaHome 20 bar espresso maker review: one-touch single and double shots

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

Real 20 bar espresso at the touch of a button

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 for a single or double shot, 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.

Silky milk from the steam wand takes a few tries

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.
