Espresso Method: equipment for cafe-quality espresso at home
Espresso is the most demanding method and also one of the most rewarding. Water at about 9 bars of pressure passes through very finely ground coffee, and in about 25-30 seconds it produces an intense, full-bodied drink with crema, which is also the base for a cortado, flat white, cappuccino, or latte. Since the extraction is so short and precise, every piece of equipment influences the cup. That is why in this category we have gathered everything you need:
- Espresso machines: manual and semi-automatic models with stable temperature and a steam wand to texture milk.
- Espresso grinders: the grinder is just as important as the machine. A fine, uniform, and precisely adjustable grind is what allows you to fine-tune your espresso and repeat it every day.
- Accessories: tampers, distributors, scales with timers, milk pitchers, baskets, and cleaning products to keep your equipment in top shape.
If you are just starting out, we recommend combining an espresso machineand a grinderof the same level. A good grinder with a simple machine usually produces better results than the other way around. Complete it with freshly roasted specialty coffee.
