The Wonderful World Of Espresso Machines
Remember the days when you were a kid and you woke up in the morning to the smell of coffee brewing in the percolator with the concoction visibly bubbling through the clear knob on top of the lid? Or perhaps your parents chose not to use the percolator, opting instead for a heaping scoop of freeze dried instant coffee stirred into a mug of hot water. Well, luckily for us, we now live in an age of “Coffee Aficionado’s” where a spoonful of instant coffee simply won’t do. Enter the lovely era of espresso machines. With these handy dandy machines you can have your daily jolt of coffee complete with warm foam and a sprinkling of cocoa powder on the top, all in the convenience of your very own kitchen!
The original in home espresso makers were extra large in size and very clunky with a million different accessories to go with it, taking up much needed counter space and certainly making a big mess. These machines have come a long way over the last 10+ years and while the espresso makers are a bit larger in size than the average coffee pot, they are much less space consuming and more compact than the machines of old. The average cost of one of these machines for your home is approximately $100 however; you can find some for less money. If you are a diehard “espresso junkie”, you may be willing to spend up to $500-$1000 for a top of the line version to give you that perfect espresso every day.
Cuisinart, De’Longhi and Krups are 3 of the most popular brands of in-home espresso machines. Available at most name brand department stores such as Macy’s, Bloomingdales and Williams & Sonoma, you will be able to find the best espresso maker to fit your personal needs. The machines of old used to only come in stainless steel or black, but with more and more kitchen appliances becoming “color friendly”, you are able to purchase an espresso maker in a large variety of colors to appease your kitchen’s color palette. Do not be surprised to find some of these pricey espresso makers popping up on a couple’s wedding registry. These machines are a perfect opportunity to gather a few wedding guests together and send a combined gift. It is a gift that you know the happy couple will enjoy for many years to come.
