Creative Registry Ideas: Espresso Makers

Posted by Adam Warner on Nov 10, 2011

Take your typical morning coffee and transform it into an authentic espresso, latte, or cappuccino when you register for a home espresso machine. Before you know it, you'll be a master barista in your very own kitchen.

Convenient and considerably less expensive, a stovetop espresso maker could be an ideal choice for couples looking for something simple. Bialetti's Moka Express is one of the world's top coffee makers -- and it's easy to see why. Not only does the Moka Express produce quality espresso, but it can also be yours starting at $19.95.

Meanwhile, coffee connoisseurs hoping for a more advanced apparatus should consider the DeLonghi Pump Espresso Maker EC 702 ($199.95). This solid model stands out with its adjustable frother that mixes steam and milk to generate a rich, creamy froth -- perfect for lattes and cappuccinos. Plus, with a self-priming operation, there isn't any frustrating, time-consuming preparation to worry about.

For avid espresso drinkers who enjoy crafting the perfect latte, consider registering for a high-end machine like Rancilio Silvia. This single-boiler machine is nearly professional-grade and truly produces high-quality espresso. In other words, this dynamic machine will really bring out your inner barista.
