Introduction |
In this teardown, we'll be taking apart Starbucks' brew-it-yourself Barista Espresso Maker to take the mystery out of these relatively simple steam machines. | Espresso machines use steam, rather than boiling water, to brew concentrated coffee often mixed with frothy milk. A steam pipe found on nearly every espresso machine allows the operator to froth and steam milk to make drinks ranging from the cappuccino to the macchiato. |
