3 of the Best Espresso Coffee Machines
To make barista-level coffee at home, you need an espresso coffee machine that grinds high-quality beans and then forces very hot water through the grounds, to make an espresso or double espresso. To make a latte, a cappuccino or any other espresso coffee requiring milk, you also need a frother, which bubbles steam through a wand into the milk to obtain the required heat and consistency.
Here are three of the best.
