Espresso and drip coffee in one machine

2 min readUpdated October 23, 2026

The short answer

If your household drinks both espresso and regular coffee, one machine can cover both. These models brew espresso and drip-style coffee, and they also list iced or cold drinks. The result: fewer appliances on the counter and one grinder for everything.

What to compare.

  1. Brew styles

    Check which styles each machine lists: espresso, drip, over ice or cold brew.

  2. Water tank

    Brewing full cups of coffee uses more water than espresso shots. A larger tank means refilling less often.

  3. Grinder and dosing

    All of these grind the beans for you. Weight-based dosing takes the guesswork out of each cup.

  4. Milk

    If you also drink lattes, look at how each one froths milk.

Questions

Frequently asked questions

Which of these machines make cold brew?

The De’Longhi Magnifica Duo lists cold brew in under 3 minutes, and the Ninja Luxe Café Premier lists cold-pressed espresso and fast cold drip coffee. The Ninja Luxe Café Mini Plus lists drip coffee over ice.

Do they replace a regular coffee maker?

They brew drip-style coffee, so in many households they can. Check the brew styles and water tank size of each one against how much coffee you make.

Do you test these machines?

No. We compare the specifications each model publishes in its Amazon listing and, where the listing is silent, on the manufacturer’s official website. We do not rank machines by our own tests, and we never show borrowed ratings.
