It’s a satisfying experience watching that deep brown liquid pouring into your cup, accompanied by one of the most aromatic smells of all time – espresso. You can have a cup of espresso at home, at any time of the day, but knowing it will be a great cup of espresso is another matter all together.
Not every machine has the capacity to make you a great espresso drink, the way you expect it to be. There are so many brands out there and not all of them are the proficient in the matter. A lot of them are prone to making a runny tasteless drink that you can barely tolerate. And that’s not what you want is it?
When I was researching espresso machines, the name De’Longhi was the first to appear in my head. I believe it is their excellent branding efforts that made this happen. I vaguely recalled the name but still I was able to link it with espresso.
Delonghi makes, a very big range of espresso makers, endless choices really. You first need to know what sort of machine you hope to be operating as they vary in sophistication. Maybe you just want a good traditional espresso – no fuss – and they’ve got a model for that. But Delonghi also makes the best super-automatic machines that customize almost everything for you. There may be a bit of programming here such as in Delonghi ESAM6600 and Delonghi EAM3500
Other than Delonghi, there is a brand called saeco whose Seaco via venezia is said to be used by Starbucks baristas. It’s a manual machine that comes with a steam wand and lets you to make all sorts of drinks. It is a reliable machine that operates easily. You do not have to be a trained professional to operate it as it is very user-friendly.
Having a decent machine is worth it once you’ve found the right one, so take some time to do some research and you’ll find the one that suits your needs and expectations.
