Espresso makers are kitchen appliances designed to make strong and aromatic espresso. They can be semi-automatic, where the operator grinds the beans and dispenses the coffee, or fully automatic, which handles the whole process at the touch of a button. Some models also have a built-in milk frother for making cappuccinos and lattes. Espresso machines can be used to make a wide range of coffee drinks, including espresso, americano, cappuccino and latte macchiato. They are particularly suitable for coffee enthusiasts and quality-conscious drinkers who want to enjoy high-quality coffee at home.
