What are the best coffee machines to make iced latte at home?
Pod/capsule machines
You have seen the pods or capsules on supermarket shelves. They are never discounted but promoted by the handsome George Clooney. As well as offering a consistent taste, they also come in lots of different flavours and if you have a machine that can also froth the milk, then a range of gourmet coffee drinks can be made easily at the touch of a button: latte, macchiato, americano, cappuccino, mocha, decaf and much more.
The airtight containers needed for the Pod or capsule machines, preserve the coffee for longer.
Nespresso Pod machine
Slim and stylish, there’s a reason why this Nespresso based machine has won awards. Not only can it fit snugly into the most compact of kitchens (it’s only 13cm wide), there are just two programmable buttons that keep things simple. Exactly how you want to start your day!
Bean-to-cup machines
This is the machine of choice for the elite coffee purists and fans of true barista-worthy lattes. Bean-to-cup machines come at a higher price, however, they are as fresh as it gets; you simply pour coffee beans into the machine and sit back as they’re whipped into your perfect cup.
These machines usually have a built-in grinder, which fills the kitchen with the aroma when used. These machines usually come with a variety of settings so you can decide just how fine you want your beans ground.
Most bean-to-cup machines include a steam arm so you can froth milk when needed, as well.
De’Longhi Bean-to-cup machine
Truly bring the coffee shop home with this DeLonghi! This brand is the largest manufacturer of espresso coffee machines in the world. This company started off as a small family business in 1902, meaning that it’s an established brand that is trusted by millions of people across the globe.

Filter/Drip coffee machines
For people who aren’t too fussed about coffee and prefer a caffeine buzz for all those long working hours, a filter coffee machine is a fantastic option.
Filter coffee machines work by dripping water through ground beans into a warm jug. Some of these machines filter coffee automatically on a timer so everything is fixed to a schedule.
Coffee beans can be passionately ground using a separate grinding machine. When buying these pieces separately, it’s more feasible to replace them.
Coffee Filter Machine
This programmable Coffee machine lets you set a timer, meaning you can prepare your grounds the night before and wake up to freshly-brewed coffee, meaning more time in bed! If you are teaching online or have back to back meetings, this coffee machine is an excellent choice, just program your coffee machine to pour between breaks. Every minute is golden.
Hario Coffee Grinder
You don’t need to buy an expensive electric grinder to achieve a consistent coffee grind. Hand coffee grinders are more feasible and practical. Their mobility lets you take your coffee everywhere you go, and they don’t wake up the entire house when you’re home. Walking around the house while grinding your coffee is satisfying and multitasking at its best, well, that’s what I like to do anyway!
You don’t need to be a professional Barista to make excellent coffee. Make iced latte at home with one of these machines, for a very fulfilling day. If you are looking for remote work to go with your new coffee machine, here are some jobs!
