Ahhh. The morning light pierces your eyes. From bed, you stumble towards the kitchen and unfocusedly look around. A gurgling and bubbling sound catches your attention and you focus your eyes on the apparatus that is brewing coffee! This is something you are able to do manually,certainly, over the stove. It is just that the thought of an automatic coffee maker doing everything for you depending on how you preset it is a superb feeling. What a day to get up to!

Coffee makers are our servants of the home that we can’t wait to see very first thing in the morning. If it had been the best machine it might give you the kind of coffee that you crave for very first thing in the morning. You think that percolated coffee is simply too insipid? You need something stronger to get your brain waves back on track? The right choice for you then would be an electrical espresso machine, something that provides you just the right amount of thick, aromatic coffee with the thickest crema you could ever imagine sipping through. For a change of pace, why not use the attached steamer to make you a small pitcherful of milk froth to mix together with your coffee for a beautiful cappuccino to sip along with your toast? Simple plain heated milk will give you a latte, if that’s what you prefer. And it’s easy to switch to a flavored coffee (imagine chocolate macadamia with your toasted banana bread) for a difference of pace.

There are those who are adamant however that espresso is still best made manually. Harkening back to the original “fast” or espresso coffee, this ingenious machine forces steam through packed, almost powdered, coffee grounds for the smoothest cup of java on this side of the planet. There is a proper procedure to follow, however. Once the coffee grounds are placed in its container, tamp it down tight after which you can put it above the bottom pot which holds fresh cold water. Screw the top on tightly. Proceed the percolation by setting the adjustment on low and once it begins to gurgle, open the cover above. Observe how the espresso begins to steam into the upper vessel and the formation of really thick crema all at the same time. Replace the cover when the process is finished and enjoy that cup of coffee usually only obtained in Italian cafes.
