Stainless group heads on an espresso machine with pale-handled portafilters locked in, two dark streams of espresso running into cups on the drip tray.
A commercial multi-group machine, shown because it makes the group head and portafilter easy to see. It is illustrative of the category, not a recommendation, and domestic machines are much smaller.
