Manual Lever Espresso Machines
[click here to view models]
These Italian espresso machines offer old world style and craftsmanship with
the ability to brew exquisite espresso; however, they do require the most skill
to operate and are only recommended for the hands-on espresso purist who is
willing to experiment. Pump pressure is developed by manually pulling the lever.
Semi-Automatic (Pump) Espresso
Machines [click here to view models]
The most common type of machine for home use and simple to operate, featuring
an electric brewing pump which is manually turned on and off by the user. Some
experimentation is still required to achieve a perfect espresso; however, the
main variables are limited to coffee bean quality, grind fineness and tamp pressure.
Automatic (Pump) Espresso

Essentially the same as semi-automatic units with the added convenience
of an electronic flow sensor which turn off the pump once the selected brew
volume is reached.
Super-Automatic Espresso
Machines [click here to view models]
Super-automatic espresso makers are sophisticated machines that go from
bean to cup at the touch of a button. They have built-in grinders and brewing
mechanisms that automatically grind the coffee, fill and tamp the filter basket,
brew a pre-determined volume of espresso then dump the used coffee grounds in
an internal waste container. These machines also feature steam wands or automatic
frothers to steam milk for making cappuccino or latte.
Espresso Capsule Machines [click here to view models]
Capsule machines are the ultimate in convenience and ideally suited for
offices, restaurants and other food service operation as well as in the home.
Brewing a thick, rich espresso is as simple as placing capsule pre-filled with
ground coffee into the machine and pressing a button and a steam wand is provided
for making cappuccino or latte. Our LavAzza Espresso Point Italian capsule machines
are commercial grade and have been distributed throughout Europe and the United
States for many years.
