Different machine

Don’t really know why the espresso machine is different here. It’s the same mechanism as home – only improved – or at least that’s what you think when using it for the first time.

It works so much faster than the old one (i.e. the one I used in Sweden) and it feels magnificent. Before you had to wait and just watch the coffee being compressed and squeezed out in your cup. And wait. Then when you waited some more. Finally you cold turn on the steam and create magic foamy foam (after you waited some more of course to get the steam heated up and ready to roll).

Here, the steam is instantly ready. Or no, wait, it’s not. It says it is. But it heats/warms up while foaming. Obnoxiously annoying, yes I know.
