Can you make an Esspresso Coffee without a fancy machine?!


Question: Can you make an Esspresso Coffee without a fancy machine!?
Answers:
A stove-top coffee maker would technically make a more traditional espresso anyway, being as how fancy-schmancy machines haven't been around more than a couple hundred years!. Our stove-top Italian coffee pot makes simply lovely espresso!. And we make frothy coffee (not quite cappuccino but not far off) by whisking the milk vigorously while bringing it up to nearly-boiling point - the coffee machines inject steam into the milk to heat it and get air bubbles into it, which is basically what you're doing when you whisk it while heating!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

yeah, get one of those italian stove top pots, they make the best espresso in the world!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

i don't think so, and if u can it probably won't taste as good!.!.!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

yes you can!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Yes, but it does not tast as good!Www@FoodAQ@Com

What do you mean!.!. Esspresso or coffee!? They are two different things!. To make esspresso you need a (finger quotes) fancy (end finger quotes) machine!.

So, I guess the answer to what your question is most likely implying, is no!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

You can use a stove-top espresso maker!. It's not quite the same as machine-made espresso but it's damn good!.

They're very affordable, too!. You can get a decent one for about 30 bucks!.

Here's an overview of what they are and how they work:

Yes! My girlfriend is Italian and she makes a great espresso using a stove-top machine!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.mind you she does add a touch of Italian Sambuca!.!.!.!.Mmmmmm!Www@FoodAQ@Com

Yes, as the other answer noted, get the little italian stove top model!. Works perfectly and is very simple!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

yes but you make it with milk!.!.!. see you buy a bottle of espresso mix in the milk row then just mix it in with milk and there you go!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

You need a machine with at least 9bar of pressure to make espresso!. The stovetop ones are called moka pots which produce coffee similar in taste to an espresso but isn't a genuine espresso!.

These days you can get a decent espresso machine for about 100 to 150usd and they are not so fancy, they are just basic machines that make espresso!.

Make sure you get pump driven machines instead of steam driven ones!. The latter of the two is cheaper but doesn't produce as much pressure and is less consistent!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
