I will review some of the best electric percolators. The Evoluo is a new version of the original VentuoLine, which has the same basic features but several upgrades. The Evoluo has a removable water tank with a capacity of 54-oz vs. the original 40-oz and the used capsule container holds 17 pods against the original’s thirteen. The new model now brews at a higher temperature to ensure the satisfaction of those who want their coffee scalding hot. In addition, the external design of the Evoluo slightly changed, since it no longer has the rounded head of the original VentuoLine machines.

DeLonghi ESAM3300 Magnifica Super-Automatic Espresso/Coffee Machine : Even though one user admits, “This is by far the most expensive coffee/espresso/cappuccino machine I have bought,” they “don’t regret it for a single moment.” Like many, this person believes the ease of this machine makes it worth the price. “The machine is super-easy to operate — no grinding, filling espresso cup or filter, operating messy frothing nozzles, etc. All I need to do is pouring coffee beans, selecting flavors/strengths, filling water tank, and pushing the desired buttons.” The built-in grinder is mentioned in dozens of reviews as a standout. “I worked in so many coffee shops over the years and always wanted a nice machine at home,” one reviewer writes. “The problem was I didn’t want to spend $400 on a good burr grinder. This amazing machine comes with one inside the machine!” Another says the “best part is it’s super-customizable, and all you have to do is drop fresh beans in and it does the rest.” Another happy user appreciates having “no problem grinding any type of bean”: “We use very oily, dark-roast beans which often cause problems with grinders, but with the Magnifica it’s been a minor issue.”

Best Budget: Primula Today 9-Cup Coffee Percolator: The price is right on this 9-cup percolator. The pot, lid, screen filter, and basket are all made from aluminum, so this is lightweight yet safe to use on the stove or when you’re camping. However, it won’t work on induction cooktops. The clear top knob lets you watch the brewing process, and the plastic handle stays cool while you brew.

If you want a grander, more durable Nespresso with a larger capacity, we like the CitiZ. The machine can make the same drinks as the Essenza Mini, with buttons for espresso and lungo that you can program to adjust their output. Plus, the CitiZ boasts a larger water tank and used capsule tray than our top pick, plus thoughtful design touches such as a steel espresso tray that you can flip up like a Murphy bed when you want to make a lungo and need to use a taller cup.

Nespresso GCA1-US-CH-NE VertuoLine Coffee and Espresso Maker: The VertuoLine provides you with a premium coffee experience, since it is designed to work with Nespresso Grand Cru gourmet pods. Grand Cru capsules come in 2 sizes – large for coffee and small for espresso. To ensure that each cup is perfectly brewed, each Grand Cru pod has a barcode that is read by the coffee maker to automatically set the appropriate brewing parameters. You can start brewing by pressing a single button, and the pod is automatically ejected afterwards.
