Italian Coffee Machines

Looking into some Italian coffee machines?  We live in a society which is obsessed with coffee, we need it to stay alert so that we can be productive at our jobs and we also just really like the taste of it.  The jolt you get from the infusion of sugar and caffeine can be just the thing you need to help get you through an otherwise dreadful day.

It’s no wonder that you see so many Italian coffee machines setup in offices all over the world, they help the productivity of the people who work there!

Now, if you are one of those who are completely addicted to having your morning, afternoon and evening coffees, you might want to look into a coffee machine of your own so that you don’t wind up blowing your money away at Starbucks or some other coffee joint 2-3 times a day.  There are many Italian coffee machines out there to choose from, there is the Breville, La Pavoni and Saeco coffee machines to name a few.

So if you’re looking for some Italian coffee machines to setup in your own home, here’s a look at some of the most popular for you to consider:

Breville 800ESXL Commercial 15 Bar Triple Priming Die Cast Espresso Machine

Wow, try to say that 3 times fast.  This is a serious machine for the serious coffee enthusiast.  It goes for around $350.  This is a beautiful and sturdy machine that comes with a storage bin, swiveling steam wand and many other goodies, although it is missing a few things you’d expect to see.

First, it makes use of a thermoblock.  This creates a pressure drop and uneven heating in comparison to a boiler.  It’s due to this that you sometimes find sludge rather than a dry puck once you’re done brewing, the dry puck is usually the result of proper brewing.

Secondly the filters and group head aren’t made from brass as is the case with similar machines.
Overall though, it makes a very good espresso and looks great, you’ll get your money’s worth from it for sure.

La Pavoni PAB-16 Espresso Si Black Automatic Espresso Machine

This machine goes for about $500.  It performs well and makes a great espresso as long as you use good espresso beans.  It looks great when placed on the kitchen counter, it’s not very noisy, but one problem is there isn’t enough clearance between the machine and the drip tray, this means you can’t use a mug that is too tall.  Additionally, the machine continues to drip once you’re done brewing.
Still, this is a great product.

Now if you’re looking for more Italian coffee machines, I’ve only scratched the surface, there are plenty more to look into.  This should definitely start you off though.
