Sunbeam Compact barista Espresso Coffee Machine
I’m very happy with the Sunbeam Compact Barista Espresso Coffee Machine. It has a compact design, so it doesn’t take up much bench space, and it is very easy to use. The coffee tastes great, and the steam wand does a good job of making smooth, creamy milk for lattes and cappuccinos. It heats up quickly and is also easy to clean. Overall, it’s a great choice for anyone looking for a reasonably priced espresso machine for home use. Highly recommended!

With the Sunbeam Compact Barista Espresso Coffee Machine there is no mucking around with lots of buttons, turn on, load up and press go. Thats it, coffee in 2 minutes. Love it, great price and doesnt take up much room on the bench.

so far - so good
Just got this a month ago, it's nice to have a small compact espresso machine as I don't have a lot of bench space. I already have a stand alone grinder, so the fact that this machine doesn't come with one, didn't bother me. The milk frother is fast and heats up milk quickly. I find St Ali and Inglewood coffee beans are wonderful all rounders for milky coffees.

Great little coffee machine.
I bought this machine to go into our caravan. It is a neat & compact size and works well. The only drawback it has is the machine head cup size is slightly smaller that the bigger standard machines. This is a common issue with all small machines from my experience.

At a glance
The Sunbeam Compact Barista is a slim manual espresso machine designed for people who want café-style coffee without giving up much bench space. It suits small kitchens, apartments and caravans, with quick heat-up, simple shot presets and a steam wand for milk drinks. Its main limitation is the compact format and entry-level controls, which offer less precision and capacity than more advanced home espresso machines.
What it’s great for
- Everyday Espresso
- Milk-Based Coffee at Home
- Small-Space Coffee Making
- First Manual Espresso Machine
Where it works best
- Small Kitchens
- Apartments
- Caravans
- Compact Bench Spaces
Who it’s for
- Beginner Home Barista
- Apartment Dweller
- Small-Space Household
- Casual Coffee Drinker
Things to consider
Compared with premium manual espresso machines, it offers less brewing customisation and a smaller 1 L water tank, so it is better suited to casual daily use than high-volume or precision-focused coffee making.
Barista experience suitability
Good for beginner to intermediate home espresso making
Ease of cleaning score
7/10 - compact design and straightforward manual setup help, but the steam wand and regular espresso components still need routine cleaning.
Beginner friendliness
8/10 - preset single and double shot controls make it approachable for new users.
Counter space suitability
9/10 - very slim 138 mm width makes it well suited to limited bench space.
Noise level vs category average
About average for a compact manual espresso machine
Key benefits
- 15 Bar Pump: Provides the pressure needed for espresso-style extraction with rich flavour and crema.
- Slim 138 mm Width: Fits more easily on tight benchtops in small kitchens, apartments and caravans.
- Thermoblock Heating System: Reaches brewing temperature quickly so you can make coffee with less waiting.
- Built-In Steam Wand: Lets you texture milk for cappuccinos, lattes and flat whites at home.
- Preset Volumetric Controls: Helps deliver consistent single or double shot volumes with simpler operation.
- 1 L Water Tank: Supports multiple coffees before needing a refill.
- Stainless Steel Build: Gives the machine a durable, easy-to-match finish for modern kitchens.
- Manual Espresso Format: Gives users more hands-on involvement than pod machines when preparing coffee.
Q: Does the Sunbeam EMM2900SS have a built-in grinder?
A: No. The EMM2900SS is a manual espresso machine only, so beans need to be ground separately before brewing. That suits buyers who already own a grinder, but it adds an extra step compared with bean-to-cup coffee machines.
Q: Is the Sunbeam Compact Barista a good fit for a small kitchen or caravan?
A: Yes. Its slim body is 138mm wide, with a 305mm height and 360mm depth, so it takes up less bench space than many full-size espresso machines. Keep in mind you still need room beside it for tamping, milk texturing and a separate grinder if used.
Q: Can this machine make cappuccinos and lattes, or only espresso?
A: Yes. The built-in steam wand is designed to produce dry steam for milk texturing, which is suitable for cappuccinos, lattes and flat whites as well as straight espresso. Milk frothing is manual, so texture depends on technique rather than one-touch automation.
Q: Does the EMM2900SS pour single and double shots automatically?
A: Yes. It has preset volumetric control for single and double shot extractions, so the machine can dispense a consistent amount each time. It is still a manual setup overall, which means dosing, tamping and milk texturing are done by hand.
Q: Is this a good option for someone moving from pod coffee to fresh ground espresso?
A: Yes. The EMM2900SS is simpler than many manual machines because it combines fast thermoblock heat-up with preset shot buttons, but it still gives more control than a pod unit. It includes filter baskets, tamper, spoon and milk jug, but not a grinder.
Q: What does pre-infusion do on the Sunbeam Compact Barista?
A: Pre-infusion gently wets the coffee puck before full pressure is applied, which can help produce a more even extraction and a more balanced flavour. It is most useful when grind size and tamp are close to correct, rather than as a fix for poor preparation.
