Italian Espresso Machines

Read here what makes italian espresso machines such a popular gift, how they function, the history and which one to buy.

espresso - a delicious and strong coffee experience

Espresso is a very fine and delicious type of Italian coffee. It is normally served in a small cup, which is especially made for espresso. One portion of espresso should not be more than 25 ml as it is a very strong coffee.

For perfect aroma only professional espresso machines

To achieve the maximum amount of flavour and quality, each cup of espresso should be prepared only minutes before served. As it is a rather complicated procedure to prepare espresso, all Italian bars and many private households use professional espresso machines to achieve the perfect aroma.

Espresso has conquered the world since 1855

The first Espresso Machines was introduced in 1855 during the world exposition in Paris. Ever since then, espresso has conquered the world. Today, it is possible to purchase any kind of this great "Italian Gift" for any need.

all machines work on a similar system

Italian Espresso Machines work on a very similar system. They use around 6 grams of espresso powder and 25 ml of hot, but non-boiling water. The needed espresso powder is available in most supermarkets. During the process, the hot water gets squeezed through a filter with the espresso powder. After a maximum of 30 seconds, the espresso cup should be filled with hot and delicious espresso. Espresso is best while it is still hot.

Bonus features

Some Italian espresso makers have bonus features as a coffee grinder or a function to automatically warm the espresso cups. The coffee grinder allows the consumer to freshly grind the coffee beans to improve the flavour of the espresso. The cup warmer helps to keep the cups and the espresso as warm as possible to maximise the treat.
