May 25, 2008 Posted by Chris Tingom Filed under Uncategorized
There are so many espresso machines on the market now, and I thought it would be fun to do a little series on them. I decided to begin with a list of espresso machines. Feel free to leave a comment with any I have missed and I’ll update this post. Believe me, I know this is an incomplete list.
- La Marzocco
- Simonelli
- Laranzato
- Synesso
- RIO Espresso Machines
- Saeco
- Rancilio
- La San Marco
- Wega
- Astoria
- Victoria Arduino
- La Cimbali
- La Spaziale
- Becerra
- Brasilia
- Conti
- Faema
- Electra
- Gaggia
- Unic
- La Pavoni
- Pasquini Espresso Co.
- Nuova Simonelli
- Astra
- Dalla Corte
And a million others. Help me make this list complete by suggesting machines in the comments.
Update: I’ve added a bunch to the list based on the great recommendations from Austin, JC, Psyd, Ron Cortez, and Roberto Bergami, thank you!

And I’ll second the CMA (Astoria) line as one of the tops.

Great list everyone. Thanks! I’ll update the post soon with the additions.
I saw a few Wega machines in Rome. Just got back to Phoenix a few minutes ago. Took exactly 24 hrs to get home.
