Your First Espresso Maker

What is the best value espresso maker? This is difficult to answer because espresso makers, especially pump driven ones, are usually expensive.

Steam driven espresso makers are usually cheaper, but they do not make genuine espresso because they cannot maintain the required pressure needed to make espresso.

Having said that, if you’re looking for your first espresso maker, it’s better to buy something cheaper, probably a steam driven one.

The Krups Allegro FND111 is one of the many entry level espresso makers on the market. It’s easy to use and doesn’t require a huge investment. In fact, it’s only $50.

This will definitely satiate your espresso needs until you’re more confident to own a more expensive espresso maker.
