Semi Automatic Espresso Machines

Semi-Automatic Espresso Machines

A semi-automatic espresso machine does the hard part for you, pump pressure and water temperature, and leaves the shot in your hands: you grind, dose, tamp, then start and stop the extraction yourself. It is how espresso is made in Italian cafés, and it is the type most home baristas choose.

In this range you will find single boiler machines such as the Rancilio Silvia and the Lelit Victoria, heat exchanger machines with the E61 group such as the Rocket Appartamento and the Lelit Mara X, and dual boilers such as the Lelit Bianca V3 and the Rancilio Silvia Pro X. Not sure which boiler type you need? Our espresso machine guide compares them side by side.

Every semi-automatic machine needs a capable grinder: browse our espresso grinders to complete your setup.
