Our take on the Cuisinart Programmable Espresso Maker

The Cuisinart Programmable Espresso Maker is a home machine with a 15-bar pump, a 53-ounce removable water tank and programmable buttons for single or double shots. It takes ground coffee or pods and comes with a stainless steam nozzle and a frothing cup for milk drinks. It is a beginner-friendly, button-driven machine rather than a prosumer setup. The best new price is $319.95 at Belk as of November 7, 2026, and only one store lists it new, so there is little price competition to shop around.
