Everyday Life...Espresso Machine

In an earlier post, I showed you what the Italian espresso machine looks like and how it works. Below is another version of it. It is used for two people and instead of storing the hot coffee directly in the machine when it is done, it deposits it directly into the espresso cups. It looks really neat, and is fun to watch work, but it doesn't work as well as the original version. Once it gets towards the end when the pressure really builds up it spits the hot coffee out instead of into the cup and makes a mess. It is still a fun machine to have though. My brother Alex would love this machine, we got him the original one for Christmas last year and he still uses it everyday.
