Super-Automatic Espresso Machines

Super automatic espresso machines are able to grind the coffee beans, dose, tamp, and brew the espresso as well as eject the spent puck of coffee grounds, requiring the operator (e.g., barista) only to push a button.

Some models of super automatic espresso machines are also able to steam milk.
