Espresso, filter coffee or Turkish coffee? Before you choose a coffee machine for your home, decide which coffee you actually drink every day. This guide explains the main types of home coffee machine and compares the DSP espresso machines, filter coffee makers, Turkish coffee pot, grinders and frothers in stock at LNT, so you can build the right setup for your kitchen in Lebanon.

Espresso machines
A pump espresso machine pushes hot water through finely ground coffee under pressure. All three DSP pump machines below have a steam function for frothing milk, so you can make cappuccino and latte by hand.
| Model | Pump | Power | Water tank | Highlights |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| DSP touch screen espresso machine | 15 bar Italian ULKA | 850 W | 1.8 L, removable | Touch screen with 1-cup, 2-cup and steam buttons; cup warming plate; detachable frother and drip tray; overheat and over-pressure protection; tamper included |
| DSP espresso machine | 15 bar Italian ULKA | 850 W | 1.8 L, removable | Stainless steel housing, die-cast aluminium boiler, dual filter, steam function, safety valve |
| DSP espresso machine, stainless steel | 15 bar | 1450 W | 1 L, removable | Illuminated one-touch panel, cup warming plate, auto shut-off |
Tip: a bigger, removable water tank means fewer refills and easier cleaning. If several people in the house drink espresso, the 1.8 L tanks are the practical choice.
Automatic cappuccino and latte: DSP KA3104
If you want milk drinks without frothing by hand, the DSP KA3104 makes espresso, cappuccino and latte at 20 bar, with an LCD touch screen, a 700 ml milk tank, a 1 L water tank and cup pre-heating. It is rated at 1350 W.
Filter coffee makers
A drip coffee maker is the easiest way to make several cups at once, and the warming plate keeps the coffee hot after brewing.
- DSP KA3024: 1.2 L, 800 W, a choice of classic or rich taste, and a warming plate. Good for families and offices.
- DSP KA3037: 700 ml glass pot, 600 W, hidden stainless steel element and heat-resistant handle. Good for one or two people.
Turkish coffee
For the coffee most Lebanese homes drink every morning, the DSP mini electric coffee pot makes Turkish coffee with a 300 ml capacity, a 600 W hidden stainless steel element and a one-key switch. It is easy to clean and saves a stove ring.
Grinders: fresh coffee from whole beans
Ground coffee loses aroma quickly once the bag is open, so many coffee lovers grind beans just before brewing. DSP has two blade grinders that also handle spices and nuts:
- DSP professional coffee and spice grinder: quiet 300 W copper motor, detachable 100 g stainless steel cup, pulse mode, and a safety lock so it runs only with the lid closed.
- DSP KA3002: compact 200 W, grinds about 50 g of beans, with pulse operation and a lid safety lock.
Use short pulses and check the texture: espresso needs a fine grind, filter coffee a medium grind.
Milk frothers
- DSP KA3095 2-in-1 frother: USB rechargeable (1200 mAh), 3 speeds and two stirring heads. Handy for foamy milk, frappés and instant coffee.
- DSP coffee mixer: a compact 25 W, 80 ml mixer in 304 stainless steel.
Quick picks
- Espresso lover, best all-rounder: DSP touch screen espresso machine.
- Cappuccino and latte with no effort: DSP KA3104.
- Big mugs for the whole family: DSP KA3024 filter coffee maker.
- Turkish coffee every morning: DSP mini electric coffee pot.
- Add-on for fresher coffee: the DSP coffee and spice grinder.
