The Mr. Coffee ECM160 is a no frills, yet quite functional and easy-to-use steam espresso machine. For under $40, you will be hard pressed to find a better quality machine. Because it is steam driven and not pump driven, it may not produce the quality espresso some hard core fanatics insist upon. But overall the reviews for the quality of the machine as well as the quality of the drinks produced were quite positive.
The Breville Barista Express BES860XL takes the art of making espresso to the next level. Top baristas cite the quality of the freshly ground beans as one of the main factors in producing an exceptional espresso. That focus is the main tenet in the development of the Barista Express with its built in grinder that will grind only the amount of beans when needed, thereby ensuring the grounds are fresh for a richer, creamier, superb tasting espresso.
Designed and engineered in Italy, this attractive espresso maker has a small profile (7-1/2 by 9-1/2 by 11-1/8 inches) and takes up little room on the kitchen counter. The DeLonghi EC155 Espresso Maker has a patented dual-function filter holder for use with ground espresso. This unique filter injects air into the brewing process, which allows it to product a perfect crema, which is the essence of authentic espresso. The overwhelming majority of reviewers gave this espresso maker very high marks.
