Our Italian espresso machines

The espresso machine is the holy grail for any self-respecting espresso lover. Indeed, it allows you to extract coffee with pressures that automatic coffee machines cannot achieve. But be careful, pressure is not a guarantee of extraction quality, it must be around 9 bars to extract. A manufacturer who gives you a higher pressure as an argument has no value if it is not that of a marketing tool.

An espresso machine, how does it work?

The operating principle of an espresso machine is simple and identical to all machines of this type. The espresso machine will heat the water using its boiler, then this water will be sent under pressure via a pump to the coffee grounds. To obtain a good extraction, the machine will have to heat its water to 92 ° C and send the water to the grounds with a pressure of 9 bars.

The coffee ritual

With an espresso machine, coffee is no longer drunk in a second but requires a little extra preparation time, and also equipment. Unlike the automatic machine, the espresso machine does not have an integrated grinder, so you have to buy a coffee grinder to be able to use an espresso machine in the best conditions. Once this barrier is passed and the first adjustments are made, the ritual of grinding your coffee in your filter holder and extracting your espresso with your espresso machine becomes a real ritual that is difficult to give up. You will see, drinking an espresso otherwise will become difficult.
