Our pick
The De’Longhi Eletta Explore is the most complete cold-drink system here because it combines sub-three-minute Cold Extraction with an included cold-foam carafe and a broad saved menu. Oracle Jet is the portafilter alternative. Ninja Luxe Café Pro also covers rapid cold brew and cold foam.
Separate true low-temperature extraction from recipes that simply brew coffee for ice.

De’Longhi, ECAM45086S EX:4
A wide-menu super-automatic with true rapid cold extraction plus separate hot- and cold-foam carafes.
Winner whenThe broadest hot, iced and cold-foam menu
Two milk carafes take refrigerator space and both need cleaning.
Breville, BES985BSS
A 58mm assisted machine that automates grinding, dosing, tamping and milk while retaining a real portafilter.
Best forHigh automation without giving up a 58mm puck
It does not extract and steam at the same time. Automatic milk starts after the shot.
Ninja, ES701
The more complete Luxe Café adds an integrated tamp lever, dedicated hot water and a larger automatic frothing menu.
Best forGuided espresso, drip and cold coffee with less puck mess
Independent testing sometimes found that the suggested grind still needed manual correction.
