What's the difference between a drip coffee maker and an espresso machine?
The main difference lies in the type of coffee preparation and extraction. A filter coffee maker brews coffee by dripping it through a filter, resulting in a smoother, fuller cup of coffee. An espresso machine, on the other hand, uses high pressure to rapidly extract the coffee, producing a stronger, more concentrated beverage.
