There is nothing like a good freshly brewed cup of coffee
. Especially, if it is made with love and care. And who can take more care of a cup of coffee more than you, the coffee lover.
Well, here are a few great espresso coffee makers that can assist you in making that labor of love. With your own espresso coffee, machine you can compete with the best coffeehouses. Coffee houses like Starbucks and your neighborhood 7 11. I would not consider 7 11 a coffee house, but if you need a quick pick me up they make a mean cup of coffee. But I also have to add, they don’t compare to Starbucks. Their brand of coffee does not even stand up or compare. Just to add, did you know that Starbucks actually sells an espresso coffee maker to the consumer market? So, you can get the same great taste of Starbucks at your home. Well, check out the Starbucks espresso machine link at the bottom and see what a superior machine this is.
Starbucks does not have the only espresso machine on the market. There are plenty of superior brands that are affordable and make a great espresso. Be sure to check out the other espresso machine link, the Rancillio Espresso Machine is one that should catch your eye.
If you are really serious about purchasing a quality espresso machine for your home here are a few tips to look for when purchasing that perfect espresso machine.
A good cup of espresso is not possible without a good espresso machine. Good espresso requires a clean machine of good quality. Not of excellent quality. ‘Good quality means: generates heat by boiler or thermoblock and is capable of producing pump pressure of 9 bar or better. Let me explain ‘thermoblock’. A ‘thermoblock’ heats water as it passes through the machine on the way to the pump. This feature is present in most middle tier machines on the market. Avoid the cheaper units that rely on steam to create pressure.
The Rancilio Espresso Machine is one of the best espresso machines on the market and features most if not all of the tips just mentioned in the previous paragraph. The price of this machine will cost a little more but this machine is at the top of its class. It will be well worth the investment. Take some time and check out the features of this machine and I am sure you will make the right decision.

Ross Bainbridge asked:
Espresso machines come in hundreds of varieties – there are the simplest candle driven models to the very high technology, dual thermostat and multiple-chamber machines you see in today’s cafes. Despite these complexities, espresso machines have very basic cores – they are either steam- or pump- driven.
Types of espresso machines
Steam espresso machines. These are the simplest kinds of espresso machines, as they work by pressure. How exactly do they work? Water boils in an airtight container below the machine. The water becomes steam, and then forces its way through the coffee grounds, and eventually into a coffee cup.
There are different types of steam espresso machines –the stovetop version and the electric version. They work on the same principle, except that the stovetop machine only relies on the heat of the stove to produce steam, while the electric version uses an electric coil to heat the water.
Pump espresso machines. Pump espresso machines do not wait for the water to heat up and become steam. They pump the water through the coffee at a temperature that is a little cooler. Coffee experts say that pump espresso machines create more superior espresso than the steam machines, provided they are used correctly.
There are different types of pump espresso machines. There is the electronic pump that most modern coffee houses use. They are very accurate, because you can calibrate the temperature according to your liking. There are also pump espresso machines with manual levers. It takes a lot of skill to master this type of machine, so don’t invest in one unless you have a ‘barista’ background. For the less gifted, the automatic pump is the way to go. It does virtually everything by itself – it grinds the coffee beans, tamps and pumps.
