Espresso Maker Manufacturers
There is no shortage of Espresso
machine manufacturers to choose from. The question
is, of course, who gives the most value for
their price? A truly excellent espresso machine
will run in the neighborhood of $400+, but those
with simpler tastes and smaller wallets can
find models that will make a perfectly good
cup of cappuccino for considerably less.
Here are a few places to start looking.
· Rancilio Silvia:
One of, if not the, most respected Italian espresso
maker on the market, they use their commercial
machine parts for their personal units.
· Gaggia: Another
Italian giant in the field, and one with models
that, with the proper attachments, will accept
Pods.
· Solis: This
powerful Swiss upstart is tough and long lasting,
and regarded as a peer of Rancilio and Gaggia
classic espresso machines.
· Saeco: Based
in Milan, Italy, this company has a wide range
of machines, and under the name Estro provides
the Starbucks espresso machines.
· La Pavoni:
Gorgeous but temperamental machines that appeal
to espresso traditionalists because of the skill,
maintenance and money they require.
· Briel: This
brand provides a wide variety of models at a
wide range of prices that produce reliably good
results.
· Krups: They
aim for affordability and achieve it, but the
results are decidedly mediocre.
