Espresso is IMHO not so convenient to make. You need to prepare every portion separately, filling the filter holder correctly each time etc. This is why I personally switched from a traditional espresso machine to capsules. I still make basic filtered coffee with a normal coffee maker though.
- Relys 8y agoI have a Gaggia Brera Super Automatic which has a bean hopper and grinds the beans fresh for each shot. All you have to do is turn it on and press a button. Every few days you just add more beans, refill the water reservoir and dump out the grounds collection unit. I paid $400 for it 3 years ago and the only maintenance it requires is running decalcifier through it every few months. If you're a regular coffee drinker, I'd say it's a worthwhile investment.
- Canadauni 8y agoYes but Keurig isn't really espresso, it is similar to traditional brewed coffee just with some alternative flavor choices.
- kennu 8y agoI guess Keurig is different from the espresso capsule machines. My machine is a locally licensed K-Fee compatible device and there are both brewed coffee and espresso capsules available. The brewed coffee capsules have some kind of mechanism that prevents the usual espresso crema from forming (I suppose by depressurising the water flow).
