All About Espresso Machines
If you are a fan of Espressos then you might just be considering getting your own espresso machine. Espresso machines can be quite a money saver, especially if you spend money daily getting a good espresso from a specialty coffee shop. If you spend $4 a day, then it would only take a month for a decent espresso machine to pay for itself. As always, Coffee Press Cup wants you to get the best deal for your money so we have looked at a few different espresso machines, from the extremely high priced to the very cheap to give you some ideas as to what the best deal is for you.
There are several different types of espresso machines on the market, but they generally work the same way. The handle, or portafilter holds the ground coffee and most can adjust the grind, or to vary the amount of pressure required to tamp the grind, to get a different taste from the espresso. You can put the espresso shot right into a shot glass, called a demitasse cup, to maintain the flavor of the espresso. The cup is preheated so that you don’t lose any of the flavor of the coffee beans by cooling. You can also find espresso machines with steam wands that steam and froth milk so that you can make cappuccinos and lattes.
Espresso machines were invented in 1901 and there are a few different types to choose from. Espresso machines that work by steam force water through the coffee. This was the original type of espresso machine created. It can have up to four heads so that four different types of coffee can be made at the same time. This type of espresso machine also does not need to have any moving parts, and at Coffee Press Cup we like things without moving parts, as they tend to last longer then their siblings. You can also often find espresso machines that are also combo drip coffee machines so that you get both types in one package.
The next type of Espresso machine was created in Italy around 1950. It was the piston driven espresso machine created by espresso machine manufacturer Gaggia founder Achille Gaggia. This type of espresso machine uses a lever to pressurize the water and push it through the coffee grinds. The type that you find in coffee shops and espresso bars like Starbucks is the pump driven espresso machine. This type uses a motor to drive the pump which creates the espresso and are attached directly to the plumbing, making it easy to create espresso after espresso. You can also get home models which have a water compartment.
Espresso machines come in very different price tags and styles. You can actually pay up to $1000 for a very high quality commercial grade espresso machine, but we recommend that you go with the lower $150-$250 dollar models. The higher priced machines are created with the task of making a hundred or more espressos per day in mind, and you will likely not require this quality of machine. Another thing to keep in mind is how automatic the espresso machine is. You may not want a machine that requires laborious pulling and pumping to get your espresso.
