A good day always begins with a cup of espresso from the right espresso machine.

You Will Need

  • A budget
  • A computer with internet access

Step 1: Establish a budget

Establish a budget. Espresso machines can range from $150 to over $2000 depending on the features you want.

Step 2: Decide on a double or single machine

Decide if you want a duo espresso machine with two dispensers, or a single espresso maker.

Step 3: Evaluate the cleaning procedure

Make sure the espresso machine can be easily cleaned. Cleaning espresso machines daily keeps coffee tasting fresh and not bitter.

Most service calls are due to inadequate cleaning – empty used grounds and clean the tray and apparatus regularly.

Step 4: Evaluate available space

Decide where the machine will go in your home. A steam espresso machine works well on a counter top; other types of machines work on stove tops.

Step 5: Determine how often you’ll use it

Determine how often you’ll use your machine. Some espresso machines use a thermoblock system, which includes separate heating systems for the espresso and for steam.

Studies suggest that coffee can lower risk for diabetes and colon cancer, as well as for developing cavities.
