Manual coffee machines tend to be pricier, but if you are looking for a Breville coffee machine or similar style, they are worth the level of control and flexibility you get. However, manual coffee makers aren't just limited to this specific style. Newer inventions and styles include the Aeropress and The Little Guy.

If you think a manual espresso machines is too costly, you might be surprised to find otherwise! Use our price filter, and perhaps you might find something like a Kmart coffee machine to be well within your budget.

Make sure you have everything you need to make the best coffee possible. Consider buying a coffee grinder if your machine doesn't come with one for the best coffee making experience. Need a milk frother? And for those early mornings when you need to take your coffee to go, do you need a Thermos or reusable coffee cup like a Keep Cup?

We have plenty of reviews to help you find the right coffee machine, grinder, milk frother and coffee cup. Take a look and if it helps you, come back and write a review to help other Aussies who love coffee too!
