Espresso Machine Types
The four main types of espresso machines differ mainly in the amount of effort required and control allowed. One way to think about it is to think of car types. The manuals are the sports cars. They have elegant lines, historic traditions, offer superb performance and complete control over the experience. This type of machine allows you to manipulate the extraction while enjoying an elevated aesthetic. The semi-automatic then is the peppy sedan. The most popular due to its price and balance of fun, control and features. The fully automatic is the cruiser SUV. A bit more automation with some piece of mind. And lastly, the super automatic is the fully stocked minivan. Not the prettiest thing on the planet but it has 12 cupholders, a guidance system and opens the door for you.
