Below is your quick reference guide to Coffee makers
| Bar pressure | Good bar pressure is essential for making a good crema*. The steam is forced through the coffee granules at the correct speed. Look for a pressure of 15 – 19 bar for the best results. |
| Crema | The pure coffee extract you find on the top of an espresso, a bit like the head on a glass of beer. It’s full of rich aroma and leaves a lingering flavour |
| ESE Pod | An Easy Serving Espresso (ESE) Pod is a small packed coffee disk with a paper filter covering. Each pod contains 7g of coffee compressed into a filter package. The pod is placed within a pod adapter in a normal espresso machine or inside the brewing chamber of a pod brewer. |
| Keep warm function | Keeps coffee warm when brewed |
| Milk frother | Allows you to create your own cappuccinos and caffe lattes by using steam to heat and froth the milk. |
| Timer | Some filter coffee machines include a timer feature which can be preset to make your coffee at the desired time, e.g. first thing in the morning! |
| Water capacity | Coffee makers: amount of cups of coffee that the machine produces Espresso makers: how many litres of water the machine holds |
| Water indicator | Show the amount of water available to make coffee |
