Most of the higher priced espresso makers use pump driven mechanisms to deliver espressos. If you’re seeking a simple one-cup espresso or cappuccino, the steam-driven espresso machine is more affordable and requires less maintenance. With no pump, it’s more compact. Yet there’s virtually no compromise in flavor and aroma. Sized for use at work or home, the Krups XP1020 may just be that simple little espresso machine you’ve been looking for as an easy alternative to typical American coffee.

Large capacity carafe with lid and handle is ideal for preparation of popular espresso drinks and keeps espresso warm while frothing milk to make cappuccinos and lattes. Steam nozzle quickly froths milk and is easily controlled by oversized dial.
Truly, there is no such thing as an “espresso bean”. You can use any bean when you brew espresso, however because espresso is pressure brewed (unlike drip coffee, french press, etc), it tends to bring foward different flavor profiles for a bean than it may with another brewing method, so some beans may not perform as well as others with the pressure brewing process.
Generally, beans that are roasted with the specific intent of being used for espresso perform the best, but other beans can produce a very flavorful brew as well.
