How to Choose an Espresso Machine in Qatar
A buyer's guide to the coffee machines we sell
Not sure which coffee machine suits you? This guide groups the coffee machines we sell in Qatar by type, price and who they suit. All prices are in QAR.
Step 1: Choose your type
- Capsule machines: one button, a consistent cup. Several of our models take Nespresso and Dolce Gusto capsules as well as ground coffee.
- Semi-automatic espresso machines: you grind, dose, tamp and start the shot, and steam milk with a steam wand. A hands-on way to make espresso that rewards practice. You will want a grinder.
- Dual boiler and prosumer machines: brew and steam at the same time, with steadier temperature and 58mm portafilters. For serious home baristas.
- Machines with a built-in grinder: grinder and machine in one unit, or a fully automatic machine that makes cappuccino and latte at one touch.
- Portable machines: for travel, camping and the office. Some are manual, some are battery powered.

Step 3: Don't skip the grinder
Grinding fresh is one of the biggest things you can do for espresso flavour. If your machine has no built-in grinder, pair it with a burr grinder. Electric grinders such as the G3 are a simple place to start, and single-dose grinders such as the G5 or DF54 give finer control.
G3 (399) · G5 (699) · DF54 (1,199)
Step 4: Get the right accessories
A tamper, a distributor and extra baskets must match your portafilter size (51mm or 58mm), so check the product page, or send us your machine model on WhatsApp and we will tell you what fits. A scale helps with consistent dosing too.
