Breville BES840XL Infuser Espresso Machine, 15 bars of pressure

Well this why you need to use distributer and tamper, once you do it properly no channeling, only deep intense flavor. //@Anonymous: Also 15 bar is too high pressure for an espresso machine, too easy to result in channeling for sub-optimum grinding and tamping.

A constant 9 bar pressure is the industry standard.

Isn't Bialetti a brand of Moka Pot?

I have a fairly well built single group E61 espresso machine with an equally good 64mm burr espresso grinder, looking at the picture of moka pot coffees, I seriously doubt it has the necessary pressure to extra all the flavors out of coffee grinds and also produce the crema that's a characteristic of espresso coffee.

totally agree. //@Anonymous: I have one, and that's not espresso at all. I mean, I like it; but it's not espresso. //@Anonymous: Buy a stovetop Bialetti espresso maker for 20$ and then you can taste the real espresso

I agree. That is just strong coffee. //@Anonymous: I have one, and that's not espresso at all. I mean, I like it; but it's not espresso. //@Anonymous: Buy a stovetop Bialetti espresso maker for 20$ and then you can taste the real espresso
