The Guru discusses the features of vibratory pump and rotary pumps that are used in home and commercial espresso machines.

Vibratory pump is noisier but makes the equally great tasting quality espresso. Its smaller in size and easy to replace.

Prosumer espresso machines from brands such as Exposer, ECM, Rocket, and Profitec feature both types of pumps. Machines featuring Rotary pump cost more but is it worth the cost?
