I used to be only a tea drinker, but lately, I have been enjoying having a cup of coffee every morning—the extra caffeine boost really helps me have extra focus and power through my day. I like my coffee with plenty of milk, so I am thrilled with my new Amzchef Espresso Machine, complete with a milk frothing function and cup warmer! It looks so elegant on my counter and allows me to enjoy a delicious cup of espresso or what I usually make, a cafe au lait (or maybe two) daily!
Compact Espresso Maker
I love appliances, so I have so much stuff on my kitchen counters—so I am so glad that my sleek, new Amzchef Espresso Machine has a very small footprint and still creates a great cup of coffee! My Amzchef espresso machine also has a beautiful stainless-steel finish that fits in with my fridge, range, and other stainless-steel appliances in my kitchen.
The espresso machine is also pretty simple to work—after I figured out how to put the portafilter on correctly. (I can be a bit technically challenged.) Now I make multiple espresso shots throughout the day! The machine’s steam wand makes it quick and easy for me to whip up frothy cups of cafe au lait! I hope to expand my repertoire to cafe mochas soon.
After I make my coffee, I simply run some extra steam through my steam wand to clear it of any milk residue. I also quickly wash and dry the portafilter and filter basket (the machine includes two filter baskets) and the drip tray, so my machine is clean and ready to go for my next cup! My Amzchef also includes a tamper with spoon for filling the filter baskets and a handy brush for cleaning the machine of any loose coffee grounds after brewing. The 34-ounce water tank holds enough water for several cups of espresso and is quite simple to refill.
Luckily, I have some very short cups that came with my Dansk dinnerware set that I can use with my machine, as my taller mugs don’t fit. I also already had a stainless-steel frothing pitcher, which is perfect for frothing my milk with my espresso machine’s steam wand.
Kochere Coffee
I have been using Kochere Coffee’s Honduran Coffee in a fine espresso grind in my new espresso machine. I chose the Honduran Coffee for its notes of caramel, spice, and brown sugar.
The organic, medium roast has a very smooth taste so I’m able to enjoy it without added sugar—which I really appreciate since I’ve been working to cut as much sugar as I can out of my diet. The coffee is crafted in small batches, and when you order Kochere Coffee on Amazon, your beans will only be roasted after your order is placed, guaranteeing its freshness. Additionally, your ground beans will spend zero days sitting on a warehouse shelf! Every bag of Kochere Coffee’s fair trade, farm direct coffee is packaged in a 100% compostable bag, too. I love the aroma that lingers in my kitchen after I use my Amzchef Espresso Machine to make some Kochere Coffee!
