What is a manual espresso machine?
The manual coffee machine, as the name suggests, is a machine where the process of making coffee is controlled by the user. The portafilter is filled with ground coffee, tamped firmly, clamped into the group head, and brewed with pressure around 9 bar. The espresso brewing method allows the full aroma of the coffee beans to be extracted and golden crema to develop on the espresso.

Is a manual coffee maker better than a fully automatic coffee maker?
Both machines can produce delicious coffee, but the difference lies in the user's personal preference for preparation. With a manual machine, the preparation is done by the user, replicating the professional barista experience. With fully automatic machines, the final drink is brewed automatically at the touch of a button.
