Today I want to tell you where you can find the best espresso machines in Abuja. But more than where, I want to give you a little review about each machine.
When I first started learning about coffee equipment, I used to interchange coffee machines and coffee makers. The easy way I understand the difference is that all coffee machines are coffee makers but not all coffee makers are coffee machines.
Put differently, coffee makers are simpler, non-automated devices like drip coffee makers, pour overs, and French presses. The user generally needs to do things like add water and coffee grounds.
Coffee machines on the other hand, are more advanced and automated, like espresso machines. These machines have built-in grinders, milk frothers and settings to create different types of coffee.
For coffee enthusiasts in Abuja who want to elevate their home brewing experience, Zuma Coffee offers the best espresso machines in Abuja and below are four exceptional espresso machines for different preferences and budgets.
