Coffee Machines

Every coffee machine CurioBox sells in the UAE, from a 19cm Sage Bambino Plus on an apartment counter to a three-group Nuova Simonelli behind a busy bar. If you are still deciding, the guides below narrow it down fast.

Which machine is right for you

Home espresso. Sage and WPM cover almost everyone. A Bambino Plus or Barista Express suits one or two coffees a day. The Barista Express Impress and Barista Touch Impress tamp for you, which is the step most people struggle with. The Oracle Jet and Oracle Dual Boiler grind, dose and tamp automatically on a professional 58mm portafilter. Browse home and prosumer machines.

Cafes and offices. Nuova Simonelli, Victoria Arduino, La Marzocco, Slayer and WPM commercial machines are quoted rather than priced online, because installation, water treatment and lead time change the number. Request a quotation on any machine page and our team comes back with the full picture. Browse commercial espresso machines.

Filter and batch brew. If you drink long black rather than flat whites, an SCA-certified brewer like the Sage Luxe Brewer makes better coffee per dirham than any espresso machine.

What matters in the UAE specifically

Water is the one people underestimate. UAE tap water is hard, and scale builds inside a machine here far faster than in Europe. Whatever machine you buy, budget for filtration from day one — it costs a fraction of the descaling repair it prevents.

Do not skimp on the grind either: an under-specified grinder bottlenecks a bar long before the espresso machine does. See our grinders range.
