(Cups per hour). I bought my machine which is rather large and very heavy exactly because it was very large and heavy. A decently extracted espresso requires that the water remain at a consistent temperature during the entire extraction process. The small home machines with 3oz boilers just can't do that.

I don't drink coffee myself, but wow, I had no idea there were so many different types of espresso machines. Some of those larger ones are super industrial looking. I wonder if coffee shops use the same types of machines as the ones on that website.Liquid Independencehttp://www.freedomthirtyfiveblog.comnoreply@blogger.com
