There are various types of espresso machines available in the market but for the purpose of you making the right decision when buying, I will suggest two popular espresso machines:-

The Semi Automatic Espresso Machine:

Semi automatic espresso machine allow you to be in charge of your coffee brewing process and is ideal for home. This does not only brew Cappuccino but other specialty drinks as well and the process takes less than one minute.

You can select a home or commercial machine as both are available in the market. Grinding of coffee beans has never been this easy and the machine automatically selects different pressure applied on either smooth or coarse beans.

This is a fast coffee cup making machine and all you need to do is program it in advance and at a push of a button, your cup of coffee is ready. This is ideal for people who are not skilled in coffee brewing and saves a lot of time and effort .

Espresso coffee makers are differentiated by their distinct features which include:-

1. Digital displays which gives you the machine control options like timers, energy saving, capacity and amount of ingredient control features. The more the features the higher the machine buying price.

2. Bypass grinding doser allows you to intentionally bypass the grinding process if your coffee is already ground.

3. Adjustable feed feature allows you to select the amount of beans to be ground which is usually six to thirteen grams and saves on wastage.

4. Adjustable temperature gauge allowing the right brewing temperature and steam which takes only ten seconds to reach.

Specialty Coffee Machines

Specialty coffee machines might be expensive but value for money and if you are going for these, choose the semi-automatic ones as they come with their benefits. This will largely depend on the amount of money you are willing to spend not forgetting your preference. Analyzing a coffee machine, including quality and durability before buying is always advisable.
