|
Semi automatic espresso machines provide a hand-on experience that results in café quality espresso and coffee drinks. To brew using one of these espresso coffee makers, you'll need to either grind your own coffee beans or use a preground coffee. Simply add the ground coffee to the machine's portafilter (quite basically, a small filter with a handle on it), tamp (compress) the coffee, and attach the portafilter to the espresso maker. You will then need to activate brewing using the machine's brew switch or button and once brewing is completed, the used coffee grounds will need to be removed from the portafilter manually. All semi automatics also come with a wand that will either dispense hot water (for making americanos, tea, etc.) or steam (for steaming and frothing milk).
A Capresso semi automatic espresso machine, which will range in price from $189 to $199, will provide you with these capabilities as well as several additional features. Below, you'll find a list of the features found on the semi automatic Capresso espresso coffee makers that Aabree offers.

- Dual Frother - With specific settings for frothing and steaming, Capresso's dual position steam wand makes it easy to get precisely what you want.
- Stainless Steel-lined Thermoblock Boiler - Not only does it prevent water from coming in contact with aluminum, this lining helps promote a longer life for the Capresso Espresso Classic Luxe's boiler.

- Removable Reservoir - For easy access, the Capresso Espresso Classic Luxe features a removable reservoir with a 40 oz capacity.

With its low learning curve and simplistic design, the Capresso Espresso Classic will be a perfect match for any kitchen.
