5 Compelling Reasons to get Your own Fully Automatic Espresso Machine
The first question to ask yourself is what kind of espresso drink you normally enjoy? If you are someone who drinks a plain shot of espresso often, you may want a manual espresso machine that allows you the control over your extraction to create your own delicious shot every time. However, if you prefer more of the traditional Starbucks variety of lattes or cappuccinos, then you will want a semi-automatic or preferably, super automatic espresso machine that will create your entire espresso beverage for you, including foaming the milk. What a luxury!A super automatic espresso machine is often somewhat more expensive than a manual or semi-automatic variety, but it is well worth the investment if you are a regular espresso lover and want to save money instead of going to Starbucks every single day!I think you'll probably agree that a really compelling case can be made for having your own fully automatic espresso machine in your kitchen.It is also important to take into consideration how much you will be drinking on a daily basis. If this is for yourself and friends and family, you may want a larger machine that is capable of brewing more in one period of time. There is nothing more frustrating than waiting for your tiny home espresso machine to warm up if you are trying to brew five different shots of espresso for your family. In that case, you may again want to try a super automatic espresso machine, where you can brew several cappuccinos back to back to back for any friends or family that you are enjoying your drink with. However, if it is just you brewing espresso for yourself a few times a week, then a smaller and less expensive machine will be ideal since it will only need to perform for one individual.Just consider it. In all seriousness, if you truly love espresso, and millions of Americans do, you ought to have your own fully automatic espresso machine. The cost might make it seem like a selfish indulgence, but in the long run you'll actually be saving a ton of cash, and you will be a lot happier when you don't have to slog through a line to get your morning espresso. We only live once, so we should drink lots of excellent coffee beverages, right?Now if you're still reading, let's cover off the good stuff. The machine looks fantastic. And truth be told, its looks are one of the main reasons that I bought it. If your house or apartment has a bit if an art deco feel to it, then this little baby is going to blend in beautifully. Not only does it look great but it can also create an amazing cup of espresso, too. The machine does use pods, which costs a bit more than loose espresso, but it actually makes the creation of the perfect cup a bit easier and less messy. In the end, you're creating a perfect cup of espresso for around $1 a shot, which I think is fine when you compare it what you'd be paying at a coffee house.Fourth, you are able to make all of the cappuccinos, lattes, and espresso that your heart desires, without spending a fortune! For mere pennies you can make an espresso drink, every bit as good as you can buy at Starbucks, where you'd pay $5 or more.Maneuvering the wand while you're making your espresso will take some getting used to since the placement of it on the machine isn't the best, but with a little practice you should be able to get the process perfected. The machine can also leak a little, although by "leaks" I mean a few drops of condensation that drip down around or through the extraction element. If you're not careful this condensation can drip into the espresso itself and end up affecting the shot - not ideal when you're striving for coffee nirvana.
Just consider it. In all seriousness, if you truly love espresso, and millions of Americans do, you ought to have your own fully automatic espresso machine. The cost might make it seem like a selfish indulgence, but in the long run you'll actually be saving a ton of cash, and you will be a lot happier when you don't have to slog through a line to get your morning espresso. We only live once, so we should drink lots of excellent coffee beverages, right?
