How To Choose An Espresso Coffee Maker

By Mark Knowles

Espresso has become very popular in the last 10 years or so. Almost every city has one or more Starbucks or similar stores where you can buy an espresso on your way to work. May gas stations also feature the European coffee. However, the cost of buying very expensive coffee every day quickly adds up, and you may find it makes sense to buy your own espresso maker so you can make your own cup of espresso at home. Below, we are going to tell you about a wonderful maker that will be worth waking up to each morning...

There are two basic models for espresso machines. Some are steam driven while others are pump driven. Some experts claim that pump driven espresso tastes better; however, chances are that the steam driven makers will make a cup that is to your liking if you aren't a gourmet espresso drinker. The steam driven coffee machines are also cheaper. You should read reviews, talk to other espresso drinkers, and consider which coffee maker fits your budget and kitchen size best before purchasing any coffee machine.

Some people claim that pump driven coffee is tastier or more authentic. If you are not an espresso connoisseur, however, you likely won't notice the difference and could possibly save a few bucks with the steam driven coffee maker. You should research the pros and cons of each coffee machine before deciding what to buy.

Many kitchens feature far more appliances than there is counter space, leaving you to move machines around whenever you need to use a particular appliance.

A small coffee maker that can be easily put away might be your best bet if you are facing this situation. You also want to think about how easy the coffee maker is to clean, whether it has a programmable timer, and so on.

The most important factor is how the espresso tastes. Unfortunately, you can't try out the coffee machine in the store. So if you know anyone who has an espresso machine you should taste the coffee it makes and see if you like it before buying your own machine. - 30289
