Questions & Answers about La cafetera espresso tiene un panel de control.
Why is it la cafetera and not el cafetera?
Because cafetera is a feminine noun in Spanish, so it takes the feminine article la.
- la cafetera = the coffee machine / coffee maker
- una cafetera = a coffee machine / coffee maker
A lot of Spanish nouns ending in -a are feminine, and cafetera follows that common pattern.
What exactly does cafetera espresso mean, and is that natural in Spain?
It means espresso machine.
In Spain, you may also hear or see:
- cafetera exprés
- cafetera de espresso
- máquina de espresso
Cafetera espresso is understandable, but cafetera exprés often sounds more idiomatic in Spain because exprés has long been used in Spanish for this kind of coffee. Espresso is also widely understood because it is an international coffee term.
Why does espresso come after cafetera instead of before it?
