I bought a used cheap espresso maker without a manual. After a couple of times using it I noticed that steam would escape through the lid of the reservoir. I’m paranoid that the whole machine is going to explode or something. Is that a normal for steam to escape, and should i just keep steaming my milk as that’s happening?

I haven’t seen these around for a few years.They are a small, 1 to 3 cup stainless steel and brass (or other golden alloy ) and are like a tiny pressure cooker. They look a bit like an hour glass in shape, maybe all of 6 inches high. What do you call these, and do they still make them ?
Anon-a-MISS > the closest to the design I have found is the Moka expresso maker. It seems to be based on the same principle but the one I used, many years ago, was smaller and silver and gold in colour. Really made great coffee and was fun to use though I forgot how to use one.

I’m getting an espresso machine off of Target.com and I’m not sure what kind of coffee to buy.. is it better to grind your own, buy the pods, or just use regular ground coffee?? Thanks!

Gotta go, goodnight all!

I have an espresso machine that will only work if I unhook the green ground wire that’s on the inside of the appliance. As soon as I hook the ground back up, it trips the GFCI outlet. It seems completely dry on the inside and looks clean and without corrosion. Any suggestions?
Thank you ‘Steve & Katrina’ for a well-thought-out explanation. Roadrunner 58 got a thumbs down for giving an incompetent and useless answer that was entirely unhelpful.

I have an older model despresso machine – it leaks water, there doesn’t seem to be any problems with the tubes inside. this thing is sitting in a puddle of water, it gets bigger the more cups i make.

thanks for any help
