Espresso Makers for Baristas Buying Guide

Budding baristas, latte enthusiasts and coffee gourmands have more choices than ever when it comes to espresso makers. You can have complete control of your cappuccino or let a smart, fast machine take care of all the fuss for you.

Firstly, consider your price. It's always true that you get what you pay for, and if you don't want to spend more than $100, you're better off buying a regular coffee maker -- or going to the cafe. A quality espresso maker will cost at least $200, and many are usually more.

But if you're prepared to invest in your morning jolt, there are many different types of espresso makers available: steam, semi-automatic, automatic, super-automatic and lever. If you're an experienced barista who prefers total freedom, a lever espresso maker is probably your best bet. If you're new to making coffee or don't want to be bothered, an automatic or super-automatic machine makes espresso a cinch.

Size is an obvious concern. First, measure how much counter space you have available so you know which models will fit your kitchen. Then consider the size of the boiler you need. If you're only going to brew a few shots at a time, a machine with a 3 or 5 ounce boiler will be better for you. If you'd like to brew in larger quantities, you're going to want a boiler size of at least 7 ounces. They take longer to heat up, but will be able to accommodate all of your entertainment -- or caffeine-addiction -- needs.
