espresso machine

Pressurized coffee maker

An espresso machine brews coffee by forcing hot water through finely ground beans under high pressure, producing a concentrated shot with characteristic crema on top.

Machines range from manual lever-operated models to fully automatic units that grind, tamp, and brew at the touch of a button: The office finally got a decent espresso machine.
