Locating reliable information on Espresso coffee can certainly be a lot of fun. It's always great to be able to share knowledge on Espresso coffee together with fellow espresso lovers.. Take a peek at the following information and also be sure you let me know what you think.
Beautiful, lovely espresso coffee. How much do you pay for a shot at your favorite coffee house? A pretty penny would be my guess. But, you can't do without it, can you? There are few things worse than a cup of plain ole coffee after you have experienced espresso.
However, you have nothing to worry about. There are espresso machines of all kinds available on the market to produce that magic elixir right in your own home. But, what's that you say? You can't afford $800.00 for a home espresso machine. Well, you're not alone.
There is an alternative to the $800.00 home espresso machine. It's not a new invention. It's been a staple in Italian homes forever. It's the stovetop espresso maker. It's not as sexy as those espresso machines that make your eyes glaze over with espresso desire, but they get the job done. Now, don't think that I don't want one of those sleek machines, because I do. However, until I have a LOT of extra cash laying around, I can make do with my Bialetti stovetop espresso maker.
They are really simple to use. Put water in the bottom, put espresso ground coffee in the filter, screw the second filter tightly on top and put it on the stove and wait until you hear the gurgling sound. I have one. My sister has SIX. Well, she does own a coffee and tea shop. She also has a big commercial one for her shop. At home, though, she uses her stovetop espresso makers, but she is a professional. Just kidding, they really are easy to use. They are available in 1 cup all the way up to 10 cup sizes. You can even get electric ones, like the old-timey percolators.
One of the great things about them is their price. They range anywhere from $25.00 to $140.00. Yep, the $25.00 is not a typo. With prices like that, you can afford a burr grinder to go with it.
Some of the top brands are Bialetti, Ilsa, Bonjour, Bodum and Primula. You can get aluminum or stainless steel. So many choices. All that you need are your ingredients and a heat source and you're ready for espresso. Simple, affordable and easy. Three of my favorite things. So, you decide - a cheap espresso buzz or a really wise choice for making espresso at home?
