The Terra Kaffe Demi is the best espresso machine I've ever used — compact, effortless to use, and capable of brewing exceptional coffee

Terra Kaffe Demi: two-minute review I've reviewed a lot of coffee and espresso machines over the years, and the Terra Kaffe Demi is one of my favorites.

It's dead simple to use, and the results are incredible.

Before the caffeine from my morning cup of coffee hits my bloodstream, I don't have the wherewithal to weigh and grind beans, put them in a filter, set up the machine to brew, and brew the coffee.

I just want my coffee and I want it fast.

But I like my coffee black, so it's important that it actually taste good.

The Terra Kaffe Demi Compact Fully Automatic Espresso Machine hits all the marks.

Plus it looks sleek and gorgeous in my kitchen while taking up very little space.

Pour fresh whole beans into the hopper and fill the water tank.

Turn the dial on the side to scroll through your options: espresso, lungo, americano, and drip.

Press once to select your pick.

The conical burr grinder grinds your beans just right, and then brewing begins.

In just seconds, you have your drink.

This lovely slice of tech doesn't come cheap, and it doesn't have the bells and whistles of some other similarly priced machines.

If you want a machine that automatically froths your milk, or has a menu with dozens or even hundreds of drink options, this isn't the one for you.
