Customized Java with a Semi-Auto Espresso Maker

June 18, 2010

There are so many espresso machines, with various degrees of function, shapes, sizes, and many assorted features to choose from. There are the super cool fully automatic espresso makers, and then there are the semi automatic espresso makers.  There difference between these two is that the fully automatic espresso maker is just that- fully automatic.  The semi-automatic espresso maker actually acts a lot like the typical coffee maker.  What is so special about having to make your own coffee?  Let’s look at some good reasons why!

Getting The Personal Touch with a Semi-Automatic Espresso Machine

The fully automatic espresso machine takes all the personality out of making a good cup of espresso.  Sure, you don’t have to measure out ingredients, fill the water reservoir, grind your own beans or even dump out the used grounds, but what ever happened to the morning routine of actually making your own coffee?  You get a bigger water reservoir with this semi-auto device, requiring less refills.

A semi-auto espresso maker such as the Pasquini Livietta T2 espresso machine even has a coffee bean grinder, too. With the semi-auto, the personal touch comes from actually measuring just the RIGHT amount of grinds, placing them in the brew basket, and sending the water over the beans with a special hand-pumping mechanism. Eliminate the systematic mutilation of your morning java by an impersonal machine by putting some much-needed tender loving care back into your coffee with this exceptional semi-auto espresso maker.

Don’t get smart.  Get SEMI-SMART!

Since the semi-auto devices are less costly to manufacture than the completely automated machines, they are less expensive for you to purchase.  Of course, the manufacturers are happy to oblige. Remember, too, that buying a semi-auto espresso maker is not something to be taken lightly, as models vary TREMENDOUSLY from one to the next! The age old saying “you get what you pay for” CERTAINLY holds true, especially in regards to the built-in coffee bean grinders. Spend a little, get a little.  Cheaper semi-auto units generally have lesser-grade components, making for a slower grinder with less-than-adequate texture consistency. Some consumers are okay with this because they would rather pay for a better grinder than pay the higher price for a better semi-automatic espresso machine.

YOU control taste!

As some are equipped with two heating compartments, the semi-auto espresso units are much better at customizing the EXACT flavor to suit YOUR tastes! You can heat milk using steam and allow it to mix with your coffee for that perfect espresso or latte.  If you want your espresso to have a little bite, you can add some cinnamon to the milk chamber and have an espresso or latte with a spicy flavor.

These exceptional semi-auto units are a MUST HAVE for the individual who desires a SUPERB cup of customized java to jump start the day – without too much work involved. You should note that if you run a coffee house or diner, you may want to go FULLY-AUTOMATIC.  Since the semi-autos require a bit more preparation time, it could slow your business down considerably, thereby making valued patronS have to wait for their morning brew. This, of course, is UNACCEPTABLE!

Use wisely…be “semi” smart!
