We offer an outstanding selection of high-quality espresso machine brands, including Capresso, DeLonghi,, Gaggia, Pavoni, Olympia Express, Pasquini, Saeco, and Solis. Most of these machines are produced in Italy or Switzerland, countries known for their sophisticated coffee cultures. Espresso is more than a coffee type; it is a brewing extraction process that requires the necessary water pressure and temperature. The high pressure, 10 to 15 bar, is acheived by our espresso machines with either a built-in electric pump or a piston lever mechanism. The inexpensive machines that use steam pressure for brewing do not generate enough pressure for the proper espresso extraction (plus the high temperature burns the coffee).
