You have decided to make a good investment if you have decided to buy an Espresso machine. However, the price of your coffee maker will be more if your demand is more from your coffee maker machine. Basically the price depends on the features of the coffee maker.

The very first and one of the most important features of a coffee maker machine is the Frothing Wand. With the help of this machine you will be able to make items like Lattes or Cappuccinos. For frothing milk a steam wand is included with this machine. In the simpler version of this machine just a wand is included. However, with all the high end coffee maker machines a container for holding the milk is also available.

Cup warmer is the flat space on top of the machine, where the cup can be warmed so that the Espresso will stay hotter for a long time. Another feature of the coffee maker is the hot water dispenser. An integrated hot water dispenser is a feature you do not want to miss for those of you who do not feel like using a kettle for a cup of tea or hot chocolate.

Yet another great feature of this coffee maker is the strength controls. You can configure that how much water is used for each shot of Espresso with the help of any decent Espresso machine. The amount of coffee grindings can also be controlled in most semi or fully automatic Espresso coffee makers. By making adjustments to these settings a cup of coffee can be brewed that is exactly to your personal liking.

The pre moistening cycle is yet another excellent feature of this machine. Before a shot of Espresso is actually being pulled, the coffee grindings are made moist. By doing this you can release the coffee grindings aromatic oils. This will produce the maximum amount of flavor. All the high end Espresso makers come with this feature.

Pod Compatible is another important feature of the machine. The modern Espresso coffee makers allows the usage of premade coffee pods is allowed by so that you do not have to mess around with filling the coffee bean grinder. Most of the coffee makers will allow you to use pods as well as regular coffee grounds.
