Hey coffee lover,
When in the market for an espresso machine, there are several things to consider.
And the higher your budget, the more complicated things get.
If you've been looking at machines north of $1,500, you might have come across the terms heat exchanger & double boiler.
They might seem like completely different mechanisms (and they are), but is one better than the other?
It's difficult to gauge the pros & cons of each just from the listing or marketing material.
Also, the implementation of each of these heating mechanisms might vary from one model to the other.
But there are a few things you should consider:
- Are you okay with a bigger machine?
- Is a loud startup cycle going to disturb people in your house?
- How quickly do you want your machine to heat up?
- Is precise temperature control & stability important to your brewing style?
Ideally, you should see the espresso maker in action before you buy.
But educating yourself about these mechanisms will help you make a better decision too.
You can read up on the details in our article…
