Indeed, you do.
Are you just not yourself until you've had your daily caffeine fix by way of an espresso, cappuccino, or latte? If your answer is yes then you can consider yourself to be a true coffee freak. Like me. Maybe you feel a little bit above drip-brewed coffee drinkers. Like I do. I find it really difficult, nearly impossible, to appreciate a cup of coffee from a drip-drew system. I just can't. I enjoyed my very first espresso about 20 years ago in Florence Italy. I knew right then that that was the way espresso was meant to be prepared and served.
Are You Really a Coffee Lover?
There's a simple question that will figure out whether you're a true coffee aficionado: Do you have your own personal espresso machine at home? If you do have a personal espresso machine in your house then you definitely have earned my complete respect and admiration.
If you don't, what gives? Do you enjoy waiting in line to plunk down $4 or more for a latte? You've most likely desired a personal espresso machine for a long time, correct? Then go ahead and get one! And you want to do it right when you get one, so be certain that you get a a "super automatic espresso machine". When you get your own espresso machine you will not only earn my respect, you will, more importantly, generate the respect and admiration of any and all of your loved ones, friends, and neighbors that you invite over for an espresso drink that you created by yourself.
Imagine how convenient it would be to be able to create your lattes or espressos right in your kitchen at home, whenever you felt like having one. No more standing in line or waiting in a drive-thru. What if all it took to brew one of your favorite espresso drinks was just the push of one or two buttons? I'll tell you how it would be--it will be grand!
The Super Automatic Espresso Machine
These machines are the top of the line, and as you may guess they're at the top of the price range too. But don't let price dissuade you from getting your own machine. Compare it to buying a venti latte (at you-know-where) everyday--you are spending close to $1,200 per year. Now that is expensive!
As the name implies these super automatic machines do just about everything except wash up the cups afterwards. At the push of a button these super awesome devices will first grind your whole roasted espresso beans for you, however fine, or coarse, you select; it'll measure the exact dose of ground coffee, depending on your personal taste preference, to be utilized in brewing; it'll tamp (pack down) the coffee grounds with just the right amount of pressure; it will slightly wet the grounds just prior to brewing. This causes the flavorful and aromatic oils to begin leaching from the beans; it'll heat the water in both boilers (one for brewing, the other for steaming and frothing your milk) to the exact temperature for the type of coffee you're making; and when the brewing procedure is complete it will put the used coffee grounds in the used grounds box to be emptied later. The only thing you need to do is make certain you keep the bean hopper full and the water reservoir full. So long Starb***s!!
Italy is Where the Very Best Espresso Machines are Made
Manufacturers are adding new and more functions to these machines each and every year. Today's Italian-made coffee centers can include features like digital displays, strength settings, brew temperature settings, water volume settings, grind-size selections, and others.
If you are considering purchasing a new espresso machine then I will tell you that, in my opinion, the very best super automatic espresso machines are of European manufacture, and the company that I consider to be the very best manufacturer of all is Gaggia S.p.A. of Milan, Italy. And their finest machine--the Gaggia Platinum Vision Espresso Machine. Superbly engineered and finely crafted, this wonderful machine will consistently produce the finest, most rich and flavorful espresso drinks possible.
