Coffee Machines are very popular Christmas gifts, but choosing the right one can be confusing. You need to decide which type of machine you're after. Do you want a machine that uses pre-ground coffee, easy serving espresso pods or freshly-ground beans? Other important factors to consider are how often you will be using the machine and how many people you'll be serving.
The perfect espresso should take no longer than 15 seconds to make a 30ml shot of coffee. While good quality machines like the Krups and the Gaggia machines will do this with ease, poor quality machines can take well over 30 seconds. Also try and stay away from overly complicated machines.
