Differences Between Steam and Pump Espresso Machines

If you are scratching your head when it comes to purchasing a home espresso machine, here are some easy differences between the steam and pump choices in espresso machines.

Steam Espresso Machines:
• The water heats through a steam process to extract the espresso.
• These machines are very simple to operate.
• The steam process may become too hot and cause the espresso to taste bitter.
• These machines are much cheaper, but sometimes lesser quality.

Pump Espresso Machines:
• These are more expensive espresso machines.
• These machines work with a pump to push hot water through the espresso grounds to extract the espresso.
• These are larger machines, but many are still compact and heavy duty.
• These machines may be more difficult to operate.

Whatever your choice may be, with a quality home espresso machine, you can't go wrong! And just think of how much money you will be saving by not buying $5 cappuccinos at Starbucks on a daily basis...
