by TM Maria Be a king in your own kingdom

The brightness, intensity and aroma of an espresso are hard to beat. If you're one of those who get lost in the machine cafe, I'm sure that at some point you've considered making yourself a coffee machine ... but you do not even know where to start.

What should you look for when choosing an espresso machine? In Candelas we give you the keys to choose best commercial espresso machines 2019 and start enjoying the best coffee in your home.

1. Take into account the manufacturing material

Aesthetics is important, but that the materials are of quality is much more. Bet on stainless steel, copper and brass so that the coffeemaker works properly for years and you do not have to repair it and change parts continuously.

2. Pay attention to the water pump

Check that the coffee machine you are going to buy has a professional water pump. The pump is responsible for distributing the water over the coffee at the appropriate pressure (9 bar), an essential process to extract the maximum aroma and flavor from the grinding.

If we only need 9 to prepare an espresso, why do domestic espresso machines have 15 or 19 bars of pressure? What happens is that these coffee makers use vibratory pumps, these pumps need to generate more pressure to ensure that the 9 bars reach the filter holder.

3. Bet for Temperature control

A good espresso machine must reach 90ยบ and provide stability in the temperature of the water at the time of extraction. The ideal is that you look for a machine that has temperature control to be able to make your coffees taking care of all the details. The more control, the better the final result.

4. Do not overlook the steam pipe

If you want to enjoy a wonderful latte you should pay attention to the steam tube (or vaporizer) since it will be responsible for creaming the milk. The important thing is that the steam is produced continuously to get a perfect cream.

5. Look at the filters

Purists prefer traditional filters to pressurized ones. You must decide which ones fit best with the use you are going to give the espresso machine. If you are one of those who think that each coffee is a work of art, we recommend a coffee machine with a traditional filter.

Another option is to choose a machine that offers both possibilities. There are also coffee makers that integrate a versatile mobile carrier that allows to use both ground coffee and monodies.

6. Do not forget the heater mugs

One of the most important extras is the cup warmer. You should not miss a good espresso machine because it prevents the temperature of the cups from affecting the final result of your coffee. For convenience, we recommend that the coffee maker has room for at least 2 cups.

We hope we have helped you in your search for the perfect espresso machine. Have you been left with doubts? Write us in the comments and we will be happy to solve them.
