Types of Coffee Espresso Machine 

Currently, there are a whole lot of varieties of coffee espresso machine to choose from in the market. From lower price to higher price, from different kind of designs and moving on to the functions that it can provide. 

3 Types of Coffee Espresso Machine
Basically, it can be categorized into 3 main types. First, it is what we called as fully automatic. The fully automatic machine has an integrated grinder, and will just grind the right amount of coffee for the perfect shot each time. 

All you need to do is load with organic coffee beans or some other coffee beans that you like, water and other necessary things, then just wait for it to be done for you! 

These machines are pleasant gifts for those who do not have the patients to go through the process of preparing a cup of coffee.  Although the price of this machines are matching with the high quality it is providing, but the features are definitely worth it.

The second type of coffee espresso machines will be the partly automatic ones. These machines have some identical features as compared with the fully automatic ones.  The part where it required manual help will be deciding when to press to the knob.  

You are required to press on the knob for more than one time just to spin the pump off to end the preparation of your coffee.  The benefit of it? You take hold of controlling the coffee extraction, how you want the coffee extraction to go. However, these machines are excellent options for a person who are interested in exploring the ability of formulating espresso.

Last but not least, you also have the manual coffee espresso machine. These manual machines are commonly known as lever espresso machines, and these machines can frustrate, infuriate and leave you disappointed at times when you are preparing your own coffee. 

However, it can also provide you the best shot of espresso you have ever taste if you know the correct technique. I would say it is a machine where it gives you all kind of surprise.

Who makes a good machine?
Out of so many types of coffee espresso machine to choose, who makes a good machine? Although the price can go up to thousands of dollars for one machine, the quality of it is definitely worth buying. However, you do need to check what kind of features you are looking for when you are buying one.

If it is the fully automatic machine, you should have an intergrated burr grinder, a high capacity bean hopper, high wattage heater, high pressure pump, integrated frother for lattes and not to forget an automated cleaning cycles. Machines who are left unclean can affect the taste of your coffee in the next batch; hence this particular characteristic is important too. 

If it is the semi automated machines, things you should look for are high quality components large boilers, stainless steel component, high quality portafilters. 

However, if simplicity and quality are your choice, then manual machines is the right thing to look for.  The machine should have stainless steel or chrome plated parts for maximum durability and the ability of minimal interactions with coffee and water. 

Other than being used at office, sometimes coffee espresso machine can also be packaged as coffee gifts for your close friends or your  relatives. 

Regardless of whether you are going to use it in your office, at home or use it as a coffee gift, it is not advised to get a coffee espresso machine with plastic parts as when it comes contact with high temperature of coffee or water; it can be quite dangerous to our health.
