Professional Espresso Machine

Posts Tagged ‘espresso maker’

My fiancee loves espresso and he and I had discussed getting an espresso machine before. He has since moved to VA (Navy) and no longer has the luxury of stopping at the Dunkin Donuts drive thru for his morning caffeine fix. So for Christmas this year I wanted to buy him:
- An espresso maker (with possibly a coffee maker built in)
- A coffee/espresso bean grinder
- two espresso cups, saucers
- a simple recipe book on how to make different coffee/espresso drinks
- some good espresso beans or maybe a sampler of beans

However, I am so unbelievable confused by all the variables involved with espresso. Pump versus steam? Ground beans versus pods? I have no idea what "tamping" is! Is there someone out there who is an espresso/coffee connoisseur that can help guide me?? I really need help as I want to give him quality items that also won’t totally break my budget. I don’t want to get the cheapy espresso makers from Walmart that will break in the first week. Let me know and perhaps we can talk via email in depth about all things espresso.

Thank you!
Thank you so far. He actually prefers to either drink the espresso straight or to add espresso shots to regular coffee. I don’t think he would like the coffee maker idea. I don’t have a problem spending more money on something that is good, I’m just not going to drop 00 on an Italian machine. Any recommended brands for pump espresso makers or burr grinders?

I like to buy an espresso coffee maker. But I don’t have any idea about the types of espresso maker that are available in the market. Please help.
