What is Espresso ?

Espresso coffee are made using coffee beans that have been roasted for a longer period of time than normal so that they release oils easily. The coffee beans are then ground to fine powder. Espresso maker forces hot water through the ground coffee and steamed with milk. Coffee oils are released and blended with the liquid giving it a strong flavor and thick consistency. The espresso then comes out with creamy froth on top created by the brewing process. The taste depends on what variety of coffee beans used and what kind of pressure used. It is a thick rich coffee with froth on top.

More and more people are choosing now to buy espresso makers for their home just to have a cup of espresso whenever they want. It saves some time and money.

  • Semi Automatic Machines. It has an automated pump and temperature systems. A switch is used to turn on and disengage the pump.
  • Automatic Machines. It is almost same as semi-automatic machines except the machine controls how much water to pass through the coffee.
  • Super Automatic Machines. Almost completely automatic Espresso machine. It grinds, tamps, and pumps espresso.
  • Stove top espresso maker. There are stove top espresso makers also which are much cheaper and easy to use. Just put it over the stove and make your espresso.
