If you're searching for automatic espresso machines, perhaps the best place is one that offers automatic espresso machines straight from Italy. As a barista, I had received training from an experienced manager at an internet cafe. He had informed me that the best espresso machines are the most expensive kind. Of course, he was running commercial espresso machines which cost four to five digits from the company wallet. Finding good espresso coffee machines may become extremely difficult.

However, I have witnessed many times that European's taste for quality often overrides Americans need for multiplicity, productivity and a quick buck from creating items in China. Automatic espresso machines may be difficult to find, however, it's important to do your research before deciding on what you think is the best out of various automatic espresso machines.

If I were you, I'd do the following in finding automatic espresso machines:
  • Ask non-corporate, high quality cafes what they would recommend for coffee machines. Often, only the owner and/or manager would be educated in the field of choosing a proper coffee machine.
  • Since espresso was made in Italy, it only makes sense that the best espresso machines would come from a place where it originated. Also, Italians often look for quality.
  • Seek out online reviews.
