There are big ones for parties and smaller ones for making just a few cups. Do I hear another question? Who needs all that espresso anyway? Well, espresso coffee makers make more than just espresso. At least, they only make espresso, but espresso is the base for other coffee drinks too.

Cappuccino is just equal parts of espresso, steamed milk and milk froth. Be sure to have some spices or cocoa available to add. Two parts of steamed milk to one part espresso is called a flat white and is served in a cappuccino cup. This potent drink is popular in New Zealand. The café latte also comes from espresso coffee makers. It' s just espresso with steamed milk topped with milk froth which you get when you steam the milk. It' s usual to serve it in a tall glass instead of a small coffee cup. You can use flavored syrup instead of sugar if you like.

For guests who think that espresso is too strong, Americano coffee is espresso with hot water. You' ll look like an experienced coffee barista if you make café macchiato for your guests.
