Espresso Machines, the primary working functions
Espresso machines are purpose engineered and manufactured for brewing espresso coffee. The price for an espresso machine depends on the type; brand and model. Each type of espresso machine varies in size and feature list. There are five types of espresso machines available for purchase.
Manual Espresso Machines
The manual espresso machine requires the operator to manage each step of the espresso coffee brewing process. The manual lever action on a manual machine facilitates water through coffee grinds resulting in a cup of espresso coffee. You must also manually compress grinds into the portafilter, known as tamping, before starting the lever action brewing stage. Manual espresso machines do not contain a pump to help in the brewing process and require a learning period and exact timing to brew a cup of espresso correctly.
Potential espresso machine owners, who seek a more authentic espresso brewing experience can opt for buying a manual espresso machine. Manual espresso machines also suit those in training as professional baristas for the reasons that the trainee experiences all the stages involved in the brewing process and gains an a deeper understanding of the complete espresso brewing process.
Semi-Automatic Espresso Machines
Many manufactures produce semi-automatic espresso machines. Automatic controls feature on this sort of espresso machine, which automate the espresso brewing stages. With a semi-automatic machine you need to add coffee to the portafilter, tamp the grounds and when complete, clean the machine. Semi-automatic espresso machines do not contain a coffee grinder.
Automatic Espresso Machines
For users who don't want to control the brewing process, automatic espresso machines are not difficult to use, feature a pump and brew a cup of espresso without interaction from the user.
This type of espresso machine is often found in cafes and restaurants for preparing espresso drinks. The high demand needs of a cafe or restaurant business means that this type of espresso machine fits that requirement with the automatic features designed into the machines.
Within a cafe setting, for example, the barista simply fills the portafilter with coffee grinds, tamps the grinds and uses the auto buttons to allow the machine to perform the espresso brewing stage. The machines may have settings for one or more cups with different sides for regular and decaffeinated strength. A cup of espresso is made in seconds. A knob or preset button controls the milk steamer. This gives the barista choices over the final espresso quality. The design features of automatic espresso machines ensure that brewing espresso coffee is fast, ideal for high volume demand purposes, easy to learn how to operate.
Steam Driven Espresso Machines
The oldest type of espresso machine, steam driven models use steam pressure and boiling water to produce espresso and other coffee drinks. The models are inexpensive, brew a cup of espresso in about one minute and may or may not contain a pump to aid in sending water through the coffee grinds.
Super Automatic Espresso Machines
Super automatic espresso machines are a recent design development in the espresso machine marketplace. These machines manage the whole espresso process, namely: preparing the coffee beans; automatically filling the portofilter and tamping the coffee grounds; pump water through the coffee grinds and dispensing the waste coffee. Super automatic espresso machines also shut off automatically and let you program how strong you want your cup of espresso.
