At a price, that is! The fully-automatic espresso makers are quite a hit these days for those with cash to spare. As this article says, these kinds of machines are best considered when you're doing a kitchen upgrade (Ah! This is where the home equity loan comes in!) as one of these stainless-steel babies, along with installation costs, could set you back up to four thousand buckaroos! OMG! My recommendation to you is to spend a little time rather than a lot of money and read up on my easy-to-follow steps on how to make a perfect cup of espresso coffee, latte, cappuccino, flat white, or macchiato, at home with a machine that will cost you a whole lot less and over which you will have a lot more control, such as the Gaggia 16100 Evolution Home Espresso Machine I have a review of this espresso machine at ECS.
