How To Choose An Espresso Machine For Dad

Ready to buy your dad a great gift? Whether the occasion is Father's Day

, his birthday, or any special day, an espresso machine makes a perfect gift for any dad who loves a good cup of coffee.

Deciding what to look for in an espresso machine can be a little tricky. Know what you're looking for, and you'll end up with the perfect espresso maker for Dad.

Deciding What Type of Espresso Machine Dad Needs

All espresso machines operate basically the same way, brewing strong hot beverages by forcing piping hot water through the ground coffee, under a lot of pressure. There are four basic styles of espresso machines:

1. Steam Powered Espresso Machines

If your dad wants things done fast and easy, this might be a great choice. Steam powered espresso machines are quick and easy to use, but you may find that some models don't generate enough pressure to make a really strong cup of espresso. If your dad is a high-powered kind of guy, you may want to steer clear of these.

2. Lever and Piston Espresso Machines

If your dad is a true "do it yourself" guy, he'll get a kick out of this. The water pressure is created manually, by pumping the lever. Since there is no pump building up the steam, it is quiet during use. And because it's a manual machine, there are few parts that can go wrong.

3. Moka Pot

Is your dad a "back to basics" kind of guy? Does he enjoy cooking over a campfire, and chopping wood? Then he'll probably love the idea of a moka pot. No plugs, no motors, just put this on to boil on top of the stove. The heated water makes steam, which is then forced through the grounds to create the espresso. Super easy to clean, there are no extra attachments to worry about, and it can even be used on a camp stove.

4. Pump Espresso Machines

A true power tool, the pump espresso machine is a man's machine. The water is brought up to high pressure by the motorized pumping action. Throughout the pumping and brewing process, the machine makes fabulous amounts of noise and steam. Pump machines make the best espresso, and are a lot of fun to use. If your dad likes to go all out, he'll really appreciate this gift.

Whether your dad is a do-it-yourself guy, an outdoorsy type or a true power tool maniac, there is an espresso machine out there for him.
