Are you a dedicated coffee drinker? Do you give a lot of parties where you want your guests to enjoy the best espresso coffee for after-dinner latte and cappuccino? Consider investing in an espresso machine.
Invented in 1901 in Italy, the original espresso machine used steam to push boiling water through finely ground coffee. This little steam engine is still around today and is more economical than fancier models that do everything but drink the coffee for you. Most of them have a built-in milk steamer.
One of the espresso machines you will see in coffee bars has a lever that you push down to press the water through the coffee. Baristas like it because it looks snazzy and they can pull a shot, as they say, with a graceful flourish. You can get a lever- or piston-driven espresso machine for home use. These also have a built-in milk steamer.
Most coffee bars use a pump machine, in which a little motor takes the place of the manually operated lever. Unlike the lever and steam machines, this has a water reservoir built in and is probably better for making a lot of cups for parties. There are several types of motorized espresso machines, so you can select one based on your preferences.
Today, hand-operated air pump machines are catching on. This clever invention is about the size of an ice cream scoop. You can take it anywhere, and it is much lighter and easier to use than a standard motor-driven model. All you need is hot water and ground coffee.
The most expensive, top of the line machines do it all -- grind the coffee, tamp it, boil the water, press it through, steam the milk, even throw the used coffee grounds away. Some of them even have a dual system that lets you make regular brewed coffee as well as espresso, and dispenses straight hot water for tea! Because it’s all automatic, even though you have the choice of several presets, the coffee these machines make may not be as good. The time given for the coffee and water to mix is crucial in espresso, and everyone’s taste is different, so you may want to purchase a semi-automatic machine so that you can control this aspect of the process yourself.
