Best coffe espresso machines

Best coffe espresso machines


Breville BES900XL Semi Automatic Espresso Machine

I read somewhere that Breville BES900XL is the Lamborgini of espresso machines and I agree. The machine makes the best espresso shots I've ever pulled, and best cappucinnos I have ever tasted.
In my opinion this is the best espresso machine.


Product Features: Multi-level conical burr grinder. High-performance pump, 15 bar. Thermoblock heating system Integrated rinsing, cleaning and descaling program. Energy save mode.
Review: This Jura Impressa makes great espresso coffee, the flavor is excellent. Durable, easy to use and clean with great design. Too many plastics for the price.


Nespresso Automatic Espresso Maker 
Nespresso Automatic Espresso machine makes full bodied crema like in the best coffee house, the espresso coffe is crisp and clear, full bodied, and smooth.
The machine is fast, very fast ( less than 2 minutes). Is easy to clean and beautiful.

Saeco 4045 Vienna Automatic Espresso Machine
Saeco 4045 Vienna makes good coffee but, is not durable enough in my opinion.

The fact that the Jura Impressa XS90 espresso machine produces twelve different coffee types at the touch of a button is good news.
This espresso coffe machine is almost perfect. The coffee is always perfectly fresh and it is easy to use. It is a bit slow and loud.


De'Longhi EC155 15 BAR Pump Espresso and Cappuccino Maker
Good price. Makes a creamy coffee. Sturdy, despite the price hardly breakdown. Easy Cleanup. No cup warmer. The best espresso machine under $100.

Italian espresso coffe maker

Italian espresso coffe machines
Simple, cheap, durable, versatile. The Italian coffee makers are the perfect solution for any coffee lover with a low budget.


Not much more to say about Bialetti 6800 Moka Express. This coffee machine is very well built with good materials. Amazing price. Do not put this machine in the dishwasher.



Same as above but this Bialetti 6799 Moka Express only makes three cups of coffee.


Cuisinox Roma 6-cup Stainless Steel Stovetop Espresso Maker

I have a Cuisinox Roma Espresso Maker for 3 years and works perfectly. 
They are more expensive than Bialetti but also are more beautiful.

French Press coffee makers machines

French Press coffee makers machines

Personally I do not like French press coffee makers. Because I can hardly make good coffee with them.
Here are some tips for How to Use a Press Pot

Review: The quality is great  and performance is better. Well insulated, keeps the coffee hot for a long time.
Almost unbreakable and with good design.

Review: Grosche Madrid Premium French Press makes a great creamy coffee and is easy to use. The plunger is sturdy and always goes down straight and uniformly. It's  very stylish and easy to clean. Coffee stays hot for about an hour. Makes about 3 normal cups of coffee.

Bodum Chambord 8 cup French Press Coffee Maker
Review: This French Press Coffee Maker makes a great cup of coffee! It is easy to use, was goog price and  great design. 
It's a bit fragile.

Delonghi Nespresso coffee machines

Delonghi Nespresso coffee machines
Nespresso Automatic Espresso Maker machine makes full bodied crema good coffee but, for lattes, does a poor job milk comes out tepid.

My review. DeLonghi Lattissima is so quiet, not having to wake up the whole family when I do a coffee early morning.
Just One Button for Cappuccino/Latte and makes surprisingly good espresso with real crema.
This machine is fast, small and makes an excellent espresso and cappucino.
I have friends who complain of serious problems like water not flowing and others, so I advise you to read more reviews.



This is not a Delonghi Nespresso coffee machine. But it is a good Delonghi coffee machine at a great price.
I recommend it for anybody who wants to make their own espresso, but wants a inexpensive coffe machine under $100.

Kinds of coffee beans

Always present in our daily lives - and in our coffee - the coffee has a lot of history and has been the framework of social, political and economic changes in the world. Considered sacred to some  cultures and used in celebrations, is undoubtedly one of the most popular beverages in the world.

Whenever it comes to the origin of the coffee, which gives the flavor and aroma, we hear about grains like Arabica and Robusta. Most producing countries is in tropical zones, with hot and humid weather.
The countries that produce the Arabica type are Arabica  in altitude and Robusta , in the lower regions.

The Arabica coffee bean is the noblest, with several subtypes. It was classified only in 1753 and is originally from Ethiopia. The plant is very delicate and requires dedication in cultivation. Before roasting, the beans have a greenish tint and oval shape.

The best place for its cultivation is between 600 and 2000 meters and the higher the altitude, the greater the chance of better grain quality. His biggest growers are the countries of Central and South America, as well as some countries in Africa and Asia.

Among the varieties of Arabica coffee, Kona coffee is considered one of the tastiest. Its cultivation is in  very restrictive conditions and soil temperature, we found that coffee on the lower slopes of Mauna Loa, a volcano in the western region of Hawaii, the perfect place to develop with quality. Sun, humidity, shade, cool breeze and rain feed the crop of this great coffee.

The African Robusta is also known as Conilon. Originating in Africa, has more features and is a rough grain very sturdy. Grown in low lands, their grains are less fragrant Its grains are less fragrant and have distinctive taste and unique. Its caffeine content is higher, from 2 to 4.5%.

A blend (mixture of grains) is created from the mixture of seeds for the creation of harmonious flavors. Most coffees uses two types, Arabic and Robusta, n this mixtures. However, those looking for a more sophisticated coffee often makes a blend with only Arabica beans.
