Brew Like a Barista with your own Coffee Machine!
Is it worth buying a coffee machine for home?
If your day doesn’t properly start until that first sip of caffeine, an at-home coffee machine could be your new morning MVP! Whether you’re looking to cut costs on your daily takeaway order or upgrade your existing setup, it’s well worth the investment.
We’re spilling the beans on why:
- Flavour – Love a strong long black or a smooth flat white? You get to call the shots and make coffee just the way you like it.
- Convenience – No more queues or coffee runs – your kitchen’s now your local, and it’s open 24/7.
- Skill – From pulling the perfect shot to velvety latte art, learn the tricks of the trade and level up your morning ritual.
- Hospitality – Impress guests with coffee that looks and tastes like it came from a pro machine (because it did).
Which coffee machine is best for home?
Espresso coffee machines might live in the kitchen, but for many Aussies, it’s the true heart of the home. From manual models to automatic all-rounders, you’ll find something for every kind of coffee lover at Harvey Norman:
- Manual Coffee Machines – Love getting hands-on? Manual machines let you grind, tamp, and pull the shot yourself, just like your favourite barista.
- Automatic Coffee Machines – These do all the heavy lifting, from grinding coffee beans to frothing the milk – all at the press of a button.
- Capsule Coffee Machines – Fast and foolproof. Just pop in a compatible capsule and press go for a consistently good cuppa.
- Built-in Coffee Machines – Blending seamlessly into your cabinetry, built-ins offer the convenience of an automatic machine without taking up bench space.
- Drip Coffee Machines – Great for brewing big batches, these filter coffee makers slowly drip hot water over ground coffee for a more mellow flavour.
After something more traditional? Check out our collection of coffee plungers and percolators – designed for espresso enthusiasts who love the ritual as much as the result.

What should I look for when buying a coffee machine?
With so many options brewing online and in-store at Harvey Norman, it’s worth considering these things before you buy a home coffee machine:
- Budget – With espresso machines ranging from entry-level to the best that money can buy, the very first step in your coffee journey is setting a budget.
- Grinder – Decide whether you’d prefer a built-in conical burr grinder or invest in a standalone coffee grinder for more flexibility.
- Power – After something that heats up in seconds? Check the wattage to make sure the machine can keep up with your pace (and your pre-coffee patience).
- Features – Make a list of the must-haves to find your dream machine, like pre-infusion, PID control, dual boilers, or a built-in cup warmer.
- Design – Looks matter when it takes pride of place on the bench, so choose one that suits your personal space and style.
- Coffee Accessories – From cleaning tablets and descaler to a quality portafilter or milk frother, don’t forget the extras to enhance your coffee-making experience.
