Traditional Espresso Machines

This is the type of machine everyone associates with Italian style coffee making. Used in conjunction with a bean grinder, the 'dose' of ground beans is placed in a holder and water forced through them in a controlled way to produce Espresso. The pressure and temperature of the water is precisely regulated. Traditional machines can have up to four positions where handles are inserted; these positions are referred to as groups.

A good quality traditional machine should have a large boiler and high output elements to enable it to maintain constant temperature and a good output of steam and water. Do not be tempted to economise here or you will be disappointed in the long run!

There is no recipe that a skilled operator cannot make with a traditional machine - it takes practice and some skill but don't worry! We'll be there to help you if you are new to the business.
