The operator simply needs to fill the bean hopper and water reservoir and press a button. Designed for people who are on the go or who like the same consistent cup of coffee every time without any manual steps. Click here to see our full line of Super Automatic espresso machines. |

Semi-Automatic
This type of machine requires a little more work by the user such as filling and tamping the portafilter with coffee but the results are outstanding. A grinder or ground coffee is required. The user must operate switches to control the dispensing of the liquid. Most advanced coffee users prefer this type of machine because of the control the machine offers.
