This guide is designed for those of you who are buying your first serious espresso machine. It is here to help you understand some terms that you may not know and help you find a machine that will fit your very needs. This guide will help you learn about certain types of espresso machines and their specific abilities. Those who are knowledgeable in the subject of espresso machines will not get much help hear except maybe pointing a fellow espresso lover to a new machine. So let's begin!

Cost of An Espresso Machine

When one decides that they want to venture into the idea of an espresso machine they quickly halt when they see the prices tags. Who really wants to spend $1000 dollars on a espresso machine? You may think that is absurd, but people often spend that kind of money on similar appliances. Refrigerators fall into the same price range as do quality washing machines and dryers. An espresso machine is a long term investment. It may cost $1000 dollars now, but that sucker will most likely last you a lifetime. So $1000 spread out over 20 years doesn't sound so bad does it?

Cheap machines are very tempting. I mean wouldn't you rather spend $200 than $500? I know I would. But you have to once again look at this long term. Do you want to spend $200 now and then in a year or two spend another $200 to fix something that broke? Or do you want to start off with something of a very high grade and not have to worry about it? I would go with the latter of the two, wouldn't you? In no way am I saying $500 machines are problem free, but they are less prone to have problems...
