Taste an espresso and you do not ever serve to your coffee maker. Its taste is more refined, its flavor is richer, its perfume is more delicate, its smell of roasted beans Just make it irresistible. A coffee of quality depends on the quantity of coffee, the water temperature, its beautiful version, the speed and pressure of percolation.
The strong and pronounced taste of an espresso comes from the coffee type you use (original molding, roasting) and, secondly, how you prepare it. Espresso machines extract the coffee with a pressure system that makes the coffee strong but smooth, topped with a light golden foam. Most machines are steam or pump. With a steam system, the pressure pushes the water upwardly so that it mixes with the brewed coffee. With a pump system, water is driven towards the coffee by a mechanical pump.
The pressure is higher than a steam system. The pressure is measured in bar. The more bar, the higher your coffee. From 15 bars, the quality of your espresso is guaranteed.
There are three types of espresso machine: manual steam, semi automatic and automatic espresso machines.
- The Steam Espresso Machine
: The water, contained in the bottom compartment of the coffee maker, is heated and produces the steam needed to create enough pressure. This pressure sends the water in the central compartment, where the coffee was packed, to finally finish in the top compartment. Coffee is ready to serve. These devices lack of pressure (only 2 bars). In addition, this same pressure and temperature can not be controlled, which can significantly alter the taste.

It is provided with a pump which generates the pressure needed for the extraction of coffee. Make sure the throwing, dosage and crowding coffee and determine the amount of coffee in each cup. The temperature is automatically controlled, you are more likely to succeed your espresso. Most machines have a frothed milk essential for cappuccino and latte cafes.

The automatic model also determines the level of coffee to pour into each cup. The machine can be preset according to taste, and ensure greater consistency.

Robusta has a chocolate aroma. Arabica and Robusta are finely ground to be made into espresso but you can choose the package according to your preferences: capsules, pods, ground coffee or beans. Warning: This package is often determined by the type of machine you use.
Espresso Machines Features
The most sophisticated espresso machines have multiple options:
* Steam function allows the cooling of the espresso machine. Depending on the models, this function can be automatic or not.
* The drops stop function allows to stop the flow of coffee when the coffee is removed.
* Programming function for models with a timer. It is possible to program the preparation of the coffee in advance.
* The 'spout insulation' function: it is isothermal, it keeps the coffee hot longer.
* The 'milk frother' function: froths milk to make delicious cappuccinos and lattes.
* The 'hot cup' function: which keeps the cup or the coffee maker hot.
* The water tank of large capacity and removable, facilitates back and forth constant between sink and coffee maker.
