Some machines let you regulate key espresso elements, like water temperature and pressure. Others require a more manual approach to pack the portafilter to tamping grounds.


The right beans to choose

Many people, particularly those who haven't yet stumbled down the rabbit hole of specialty coffee, hugely underestimate how important their choice of beans is for their ultimate cup of joe. This is why a lot of people upgrade to a machine that converts beans to cups. The best beans will allow you to enjoy a greater variety of flavors. With a bit of trial and error, it's possible to find your ideal combination.

Generally speaking espresso machines are designed to extract the best flavour from dark-roasted beans. The higher extraction pressure (up to 9 bars) and lower temperature of water used in espresso creates an intense, richer flavor profile that is often described as sweet and bitter at the same at the same time. This is a different flavor that you can get with drip or filter brewing techniques.

It's the reason roasters typically offer specific blends of coffee for every brewing method. These blends are referred to as espresso, or a 'filter' to maximize the performance of the espresso machine. In the case where the coffee is blended with dark and light roasted, it's usually a combination of both to create the perfect balance. For instance, Stumptown Hair Bender espresso and filter blend is designed to balance sweetness and body with brightness.

Freshness is an additional factor when deciding on a specific type of coffee for a specific brewing method. Freshly roasting beans are the best flavours. After beans have been exposed to heat and oxygen during roasting they begin to break down and lose their taste.

If you don't want to grind your own beans, you can purchase ground coffee in the majority of supermarkets. Just check the date on the bag to confirm that it's been roasted within a specific timeframe and you'll have the freshest taste.

Espresso is brewed at high pressure to extract sugars and oils fast from the coffee grounds. This is why it can be described as more rich and sweeter than filter coffee and why it can be the basis for other drinks like cappuccinos or flat whites.

If you're looking to enjoy espresso without added sweetness, a machine that permits you to brew espresso with low pressure is ideal. These machines are usually capable of reaching a pressure of around nine bars which is the minimal pressure required for espresso production.

A filter coffee machine, however is typically operated under atmospheric pressure, or just one bar. The process is slower but helps to preserve the delicate taste of your coffee.

Choosing the correct grind size for your coffee is also important for filter machines. Making a variety of grind sizes will help you find the balance that suits your personal preferences. A coarser grind will result in a stronger cup of espresso and a smaller grind produces a lighter cup of coffee.

It is also essential to keep your espresso machine in good condition for the best results. This includes keeping the brew head clean and removing any mineral buildup as soon as it is apparent.

Fully-automated machines can handle everything from grinding the beans and pouring the milk to you. However, they are expensive and don't permit many experiments.

The most recent advancements in espresso machines are aimed at providing total control over flow, pressure and temperature profiling. This has enabled baristas to achieve the highest quality extraction of espresso, and now they are beginning to see the benefits of this technology in filter brewing, too.

The coffee tastes produced are very different from each other.

While filter coffee is more versatile, it's important to keep in mind that espresso can be equally delicious and satisfying. In fact, both brewing styles can be used in combination to create an exceptional and delicious beverage. The key to making the best cup of filter coffee is to use top quality, freshly ground and roasted beans, and to ensure that the water temperature is consistent throughout the process of brewing.

Another important consideration is the type of filter that is used. Paper filters are convenient but reusable filters made of cloth or metal, which can be cleaned, are better for the environment and are also reusable. It's also important to wet the filter prior to using it and to level out the coffee grounds in the brewing cone. This will promote even extraction and will prevent the grounds from mixing with your coffee as it is brewed.

The final step in ensuring that you're getting the best out of your filter coffee and espresso machine is to clean and remove the scale from the machine. Regular cleaning removes minerals that can negatively affect the taste and quality your coffee.
