Yummy espresso from a small, inexpensive machine!

Espresso, cappuccino, latte macchiato. Coffee like being on vacation, or at least from the ice cream parlor to prepare at home is no longer a rocket science. Capsule machines or fully automatic machines are affordable to almost everyone. And yet the good "old" portafilter espresso machine still has her friends. And with good reason:

+ Much cheaper
+ Compact, requires little space
+ Unlike the capsule machine one does not rely on the coffee machine manufacturer, not a capsule-waste
+ As opposed to fully automatic machines for every cup of coffee may be another use - according to your mood
+ Much less maintenance: In fully automatic hot-wet coffee grounds moldy after a few hours

The 1050 watt espresso machine from TZS First Austria is so inexpensive that they can also be good to use as a second machine in the apartment. The material quality is obviously not comparable to a Gaggia, but thanks to 15 bar pressure the so brewed espresso has a wonderful crema. Tip: When the cups are preheated, the crema is more stable.

The taste is indistinguishable from which our Saeco in blind comparison. Except ground espresso powder and coffee pads can be used.

While it is with the steam nozzle and frothing milk, but this is connected with some practice. Easy does it with a separate milk frother.
