For the purists. You physically pull a lever to create pressure. It offers the most control but has a steep learning curve.

The most popular choice. The machine handles the water pressure, but you grind the beans, tamp the puck, and time the shot.

Allows you to brew and steam simultaneously by running a tube through the steam boiler.

Standard commercial size is 58mm . If you buy a machine with this size, it’s much easier to find upgraded baskets and accessories later. 4. The Milk Steamer If you love lattes or cappuccinos, look at the steam wand .
