Major Parts of Espresso Machine
- portafilter
A portafilter is an assemblage of a brew basket, a handle, and a
spigot. The espresso grounds go in here to be brewed.

The grouphead is the place where the portafilter gets secured to
brew coffee. Large machines have more than one grouphead. Up
inside the grouphead there is a metal filter and a rubber gasket.
- steam wand
This is a long metal tube that spits out steam. It will have a knob
or a lever to control the flow of steam. Large machines may have
more than one steam wand.
- shot buttons
These buttons send water through the machine into the
portafilter. They are programmable to cater to individual tastes. The
icons typically go like this : single shot, single long, double shot,
double long. There is also usually a 'free pour' button, and sometimes
a hot water button for the hot water spigot.
- warming rack
This is a feature usually found only on commercial machines.
The top of the rig is purposefully warm to heat mugs before coffee is
poured into them.
