Background of This Ranking of the Top 5 Best Espresso Makers 2014
Originally called café-express, the popular Italian coffee drink that has taken American coffee lovers by storm got its start in 1880. Italians went to a local coffee bar where they waited for a cup that was made to order: expresso. About 100 years later, it was almost as popular in the United States as it was in Rome and Florence. The demands for a quality expresso at home introduced a variety of coffee makers. Some produced an excellent drink, but others did not satisfy the American taste. This list of the best expresso machines includes at least one that suits your taste perfectly.
