Frequently Asked Questions

How Is An Espresso Machine Different From Coffee?

An espresso machine uses high pressure to force water through coffee within only a few seconds. Coffee makers rely on the power of gravity to gradually pull water through the filters. The coffee maker is almost always the cheaper option due to its simple function and limited features.

Is Espresso Good For Health?

Espressos, in particular, contain antioxidants that boost the immune system. Espresso shots can even reduce the risk of heart diseases and stroke, especially for people who are obese. Diabetes can also be avoided when you drink coffee.

Do You Save Money With An Espresso Machine?

While the initial sticker price can seem daunting, home espresso is a terrific long-term value. Even if you are buying the best machine and beans, the average cafe consumer will save thousands of dollars per year by switching to home espresso.

Is Espresso Stronger Than Coffee?

Espresso has 63 mg of caffeine in 1 ounce (the amount in one shot), according to Department of Agriculture nutrition data. Regular coffee, by contrast, has 12 to 16 mg of caffeine in every ounce, on average. That means that ounce for ounce, espresso has more caffeine.

Is It Okay To Drink Espresso Every Day?

Drinking espresso every day is healthy as long as you don't overindulge. Enjoy your espresso consumption in moderation and you will be able to enjoy the positive health effects without having to worry about the negative ones.
