Espresso Machines

    Need a coffee to wake you up in the morning? Enjoy an espresso after dinner? We are a nation of coffee lovers and with new espresso machines coming onto the market you are now able to enjoy a great coffee at home.

    Before you purchase your required espresso machine some other things to think about are set out below.

    Measure the space you have for an espresso machine. Assume that you will use up to 2 square feet for the machine, the grinder and necessary utensils.
    Research the process involved in making espresso. It can be complicated and time-consuming – not to mention messy. Be sure an espresso machine is what you want.
    If you want to save money, buy a steam-driven espresso machine. Although these are economical, it is generally agreed that they do not make anything resembling good espresso.
    If you can afford it, buy a pump machine. The pump pushes the water through the coffee, making a decent cup of espresso with less effort than a piston machine requires.
    If you are an espresso connoisseur, buy a piston espresso machine. These are the most expensive and the most difficult to master, but they make the best espresso once you learn the art.

    Below we will set out the pros and cons to each type of home espresso machine
