Barista expresso machines are very easy to control. They have excellent easy-to-press buttons and a colored power indicator that s easy to read. You can tell the machine is on because the indicator button will light up. This is just to tip of the iceberg when it comes to the top-notch features of Barista expresso machines.
The portafilter on Barista expresso machines works properly, too. It is a pressurized type of portafilter, so you get a 23 to 25 second brew time for a double shot, compared to an inadequate 10 to 11 second brew time on other lesser models. The portafilter is also easy to load and use. It does offer a lot of loading room for fulfilling espresso shots, and it holds heat well, too, which means you ll have the proper temperature for extracting espresso beans.
For steaming and foaming milk, Barista expresso machines offer the run of the mill wand. It is stainless steel, which is far better than plastic, but in only has single hole on the tip. The wand can make foam easily for your lattes, but some users have found it easy to use the wand for the swirling motion to create the really fine foam. This may be a picky feature that only espresso aficionados look for, but if you are one of these aficionados, you will appreciate it.
