Looking for Automatic Espresso reviews and recommendations? Don't understand the lingo? Before you buy an Automatic espresso machine, let's first understand the terminology.

The "Automatic" machines are so named because some or all of the espresso making process is done automatically by the machine. Also, all of the "Automatic" espresso makers are electric and use a pump to drive water through the portafilter.

Automatic Espresso Machines

Now you know there are three types of automatic espresso machines: semi, fully and super automatic espresso. Reviews and recommendations will be a consideration as well as your preference and budget when buying an automatic machine.

As with any purchase, you will have to ask yourself what features are important to you and how much do you want to spend. Usually, the more features an automatic machine has, the higher cost. It may be wise to consider a higher end machine with less features than a cheaper unit with more features. Of course this is up to you.

Also, take note of the boiler. If a machine has a single boiler only it can't make an espresso and steam milk at the same time. If this feature is important to you, look for a machine with a heat exchanger or a double boiler, both of which include a higher price tag.
