Espresso Makers

The Perfect Cup

The espresso machine was originated in Italy, and was originally produced by a large machine run by a person called a barista. But, nowadays, you can purchase your very own espresso maker for your home or office. They come in a variety of styles, but all of them essentially do the same thing - produce a delicious cup of espresso. The stove top espresso maker is most commonly used in Italy. This espresso maker is used without electricity, which makes it more portable for those who like to travel. It produces a dark coffee, compared to some of the electrical espresso makers that produce a much lighter smoother coffee.

The original pump driven machine is quite popular when it comes to espresso bars. It has special chambers for heating and steaming. It provides a motor pump that powers the machine. The automatic espresso maker is designed to automatically make the perfect cup of coffee. It has a programmed timer that only allows a certain amount of water to pass through the tubes for boiling, making it a fast and efficient way to make a quick cup of espresso. And that leads us to the mother of all espresso makers, the super automatic espresso machine. This machine does everything for you including grinding the coffee, all you have to do is fill it with coffee beans and plenty of water and the work is done for you. A cup of espresso is more than just a cup of Joe! It is a smooth creamy cup that makes the day for you.

The espresso originated in Milan Italy, at the beginning of the 20th century, and has been popular in and out of Italy ever since. Starbucks and Caribou Coffee are just a few of the places that sell espressos around the world, including places like France, Spain, and Australia. Espressos are popular in European countries and even in Asian countries. It can be said that all different cultures and all different parts of the world enjoy the same taste of the espresso.

The History of that Perfect Cup

The first espresso maker was designed in 1901, by Luigi Bezzera, the owner of a manufacturing company. This espresso maker was designed to reduce the amount of time it took to have a coffee break. It did brew faster Luigi's machine produced coffee that was bitter and did not taste as well as some of the slower machines. After many tests, he came up with the theory that the steam had caused the bitterness, and that brewing at exactly 190 degrees produced the best coffee.

Though the more modern day machines were based on the invention "The Gaggia Crema Caffe Machine" built in 1947 that brewed even faster then Luigi's model; his machine was still the first big step made toward a faster cup of coffee. After these models, many followed and the popularity grew more.

Since then espresso makers have become a part of the office culture. Espresso makers can be easily bought online, or at your local appliance store. Prices range from two thousand dollars to one hundred dollars, depending on make, model, and grade. But any way you go, the espresso machine is sure to satisfy your need for that perfect cup of espresso.
