What Sort Of Home Expresso Machine?
As with any product, when buying an expresso coffee maker for home use, you get what you pay for.It makes sense to work out how often you are going to use your machine before worrying about brands and prices.
There are two types of home expresso machine on the market, Pressure machines and Pump machines.
Pressure Machines
Generally, cheaper machines are usually pressure machines, with the steam pressure being used to force water over the ground coffee. As the water is at boiling point, it is too hot for an authentic expresso, and the amount of steam produced is usually inadequate for decent quantities of cappuccino.Another disadvantage of these machines is the fact that the user has to wait for them to cool down sufficiently to refill them with water. Of course there is always the risk of being burned, or saclded, if the machine is operated incorrectly.
Pump Machines
Pump machines are generally more expensive than pressure machines, but heat the water to a temperature more suited to producing good coffee (29 - 32 degrees Celcius, or 85 - 90 degrees Fahrenheit).Because of the wide range of quality and prices in the area of home expresso machines, it is best to work out exactly what you want to use a coffee machine for before heading out and buying one.
If your machine is only going to be used on an irregular basis, say on weekends or an for occasional party, a cheaper model would probably serve the purpose. If on the other hand, the machine is for everyday use, then a higher quality, more robust machine would be better suited to the task.
