Best Espresso Machines for your home brewing passion

The espresso machine is what you expect to see in your local cafe and produces the espresso shot that is the essential part of many of the most populate coffee-based drinks i.e. espresso, latte, flat white, cappuccino, and even ice coffee or affogato. Although there are many different types of espresso machine they all essentially work in the same way, by forcing hot water through the compressed ground coffee at high pressure. So which are the best espresso machines for your home?

It is this process that allows the extraction of the richer fuller coffee flavor from your favorite coffee beans. Before the extracted coffee hits the cup it then passes through the final filtration stage to create that rich flavored coffee crema we all know and love.

Simples right?? well not quite! There are many many variables that can impact what ends up in the cup starting with the coffee bean and its freshness, when was the coffee bean ground, what size of the grind was produced, Is the grind size even, how compressed is the ground within the portafilter, how much coffee has been used, etc, etc. That’s before you factor in the espresso machine itself which is massively important to the whole process and not only controls factors such as how hot is the water, what pressure is used, foam/steam milk created, quality of components but also impacts on how many of these overall variables you can actually influence.

For example, Some machines you just press a button and it does it all for you others allow you to fine-tune every single element of the brewing process and then there are many that sit somewhere in between.
