A steam-driven espresso machine is an espresso machine that uses steam or steam pressure to force water through roasted, ground coffee to brew the espresso.
The First Espresso Machines
The first espresso machines (espresso coffee makers) used steam pressure. Today many lower cost espresso machines are steam driven, and many steam-driven units attached to drip filter coffee makers for home use.
