CoffeeCrew.Com 2017 • • Details Created: Thursday, 06 November 2003 10:36 The Basics of Steam Powered Espresso! Who hasn't passed by a garage sale and considered buying a coffee maker which shows promise as a source of cheap espresso coffee or cappuccino for the home? We all want a way out of paying for those four-dollar lattes and mochas at the corner Starbucks. It might be a Salton-Maxim or a Delonghi, a Krups, a Braun, or maybe even a pump powered unit capable of producing acceptable espresso. It might take the name of a Bialetti, Elebak, Vesubio, Bellman, Benjamin & Medwin or Vesuviana, a stove top worthy of any Saturday morning brew session. Basic Description A steam powered electric espresso maker generally has a thermal plastic skin with a aluminum boiler underneath, a knob or two, a two-way brew switch (offering the choice of brew or steam), a steam wand protruding from the main housing of the unit, a matching glass carafe, a handled coffee filter holder with a steel filter insert and a relatively robust screw boiler cap on top.
The super-cheap machines, which I hear about every couple of days, come from ebay bargains gone bad or a misguided garage sale purchase. Quite often these units have no brew select switch. If you are lucky your new coffee maker may have an on-off switch and, in some tragic cases, just a plug to put for electricity! Yes folks - some of these machine are so cheap they do not even have a power switch!

Let's look at the basics. Step one: Fill the reservoir almost to the top with water. Do not fill the boiler with milk! Half-life operations 1942 mod. You would be surprised how many people ask me if this is where you put the cappuccino beans and milk! Screw the reservoir cap tightly in place.
