In general, automatic espresso machines consists of pumps, sensors, valves and grinders to automate the brewing of espresso, cappuccino, lattes and the the coffees you like.

And within the automatic espresso machines, they are segmented into 3 different types of machines with different functions and price range.

They are the semi-automatic, automatic and super-automatic espresso machines. Of course, as the name suggest, super-automatic consists of more functions than semi-automatic and the price for the former is more than the latter.

First, let's look at the semi-automatic machines. They are automatic as the water used to extract the espresso flavor are by pump and not by manual force. And the brewing pressure in the basket is dissipated with a 3 way valve.

Usually, this is a basic model for espresso machines and does not come with much "bells and whistles". An example of semi-automatic espresso machine would be the Gaggia Carezza that retails at an average of $198.00.

The main thing about this espresso machine is its "look and feel". Comes with the usual frother, chromed plated filter holder and a 15 bar pump pressure, this espresso maker is designed to fit into any modern kitchen.

Then, we look at automatic espresso machines. They come with a few more functions, like a flowmeter inline with the grouphead. This allows programmed amount of water when flowing through the flowmeter to switch off the pump automatically and release the brew pressure is released through the 3 way solenoid valve.

In short, the programmed nature of the water ensures a better espresso through a more controlled environment. An example of automatic espresso maker would be the Briel Cadiz.
