Delonghi Magnifica Digital Superautomatic Espresso ESAM3500N Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Well the machine was good until the warranty ran out. It started leaking water a little at a time, then the water stopped flowing into my cup and just ran out from under the machine. I am pretty handy so I thought I would take the back off and see if it could be fixed.I found that the heating element that the water flows through has a small hole in it.No problem I will just order one and be done with it. NOT gonna happen. It appears that some genius at Delonghi made the decision not to let customers that spend over $1000 dollars on a $200 machine buy internal parts, of course they want to rape me on repair charges plus the shipping both ways. The repair takes all of maybe 15 minutes if I had the part.If anyone knows where I can order a heating element please let me know. I will NEVER buy another Delonghi product!!!

Product Description:
The Magnifica Digital espresso machine is a beautifully designed super automatic machine that produces perfect espresso, latte and cappuccino, cup after cup, every time. From the country that invented and perfected espresso comes a machine so beautiful, so versatile and so simple to use, it could only be made by DeLonghi. Manufactured in Italy, the Magnifica Digital delivers custom beans-to-espresso results with the simple touch of a button, for the extraordinary pleasure of true Italian espresso right in your own home. The stunning streamlined beauty of the Magnifica Digital offers perfection in appearance, matching its perfection in performance. This is the one you've been waiting for. The Super Automatic Espresso Machine. Pure Genius. A super automatic espresso machine is designed to deliver custom beans-to-espresso results with the touch of a button. Just before brewing, the espresso machine will grind only enough coffee for each cup being prepared. But here is where Magnifica differentiates itself. Its patented Direct-to-Brew system guarantees that each grind is immediately processed into espresso or coffee, not held in a tube. This preserves the rich aroma of the coffee, as well as a fresher taste. In the brewing process, pressure is used to force hot water quickly through the coffee grounds, extracting the maximum amount of flavor and aroma in less than 30 seconds, producing only smooth, rich espresso without a hint of bitterness from over-extraction. The machine automatically grinds the beans in appropriate doses, tamps it down firmly, brews the espresso and ejects the used grounds, leaving the machine immediately ready to prepare the next serving. With the Magnifica Digital Super Automatic Espresso Machine, perfect Italian coffee is right at the touch of your finger. DIGITAL FEATURES Programmable Menu Setting This feature allows you to adjust start time, auto shut-off and clock. You can adjust temperature of the coffee and water hardness. Plus, there a...

De'Longhi ESAM5500M Perfecta Super Automatic Espresso Machine Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Buyer Beware. This machine puts up a good front, however, after about six months it stops working. Cheaply made. Sent off for repairs and after two months it was sent back to me only to work for another two weeks before breaking again. Delonghi seems to be content with having the machine in transit and repair longer than in my kitchen. Very poor product. Very high price. Stick with your local gourmet coffee shop.

Main problems: Milk frother will not work. Leaks water from the bottom of the machine.

Nespresso CitiZ D120 Automatic Espresso Maker and Milk Frother, Limousine Black With Nespresso Capsule holder, And Bodum Copenhagen White Mug's Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)We started looking for a "portable" coffee/espresso machine about 6 months ago to double in our RV so we didn't have to lug our Capresso around.Even though we loved the style of the CitiZ we opted to try 3 less expensive pod machines which were immediately returned because either the machine leaked, the coffee wasn't hot enough or tasted AWFUL.We kept going back to specialty stores to recheck the CitiZ but he held out because of the price and I held out because I just wasn't comfortable with the non-recyclable semi-empty pods. We both were concerned about price fixing because the capsules are only available through Nespresso.Seems despite the cost he truly fell in love with it because he surprised me with one for Christmas!I was still struggling with the recycle issue up to the point when he gave me a cup of what the beautifully styled upscale machine had produced....OMG it was the best froth, foam, espresso, latte I have ever had and I've been to some swanky specialty shops in San Francisco, Los Angeles, Portland and Seattle.He purchased the wooden box that has 36 capsules in it and between that and the variety pack that came with ours, 6 adults were satiated with espressos, lattes and cappuccino's not to mention the great hot chocolate (just add chocolate milk or syrup with milk in frother) for the kids all weekend.
As for price fixing and delivery of the capsules; we haven't had a problem. I think there is a $6 shipping charge, and you do have to purchase a minimum of 5 sleeves (10 capsules in each sleeve) and delivery time is fast-two days!We order more sleeves so it cuts the cost of repeated shipping's.For the foamer/frother there are two magnetic pieces a small foam thing and a little whip for awesome foam.There are fill lines inside the foamer that make it easy to use.Add the capsule under the chrome lever and the capsule is punctured when you push the lever back in place.The buttons to the left and right of the lever can be programmed to 'auto fill' espresso & latte or his & hers, when your done lift the lever and the spent capsule drops into the reservoir, push a button to flush out the system, rinse out the foamer and turn off the machine.No they don't have tea or hot chocolate like the low line machines, if you want tea, just push the water button and add your own teabag.You do have to empty the used capsule reservoir after about 6-8 uses otherwise it will overflow with water that drains from the capsules. There is a little ledge for an espresso cup that lifts so you can put a regular size cup or use the espresso cup and just pour the contents into your travel/tall mug.As for saving money from Starbucks or Peets; the capsules may be 55cents/each BUT don't forget to take into consideration the increase expense in milk you will be going through!Seriously we love this machine so much we have gone from using 2gal milk/week to 5!NO LIE.I am addicted.I have not had one cup of regular coffee from our Capresso since I got this machine! You really have to use 2% milk or chocolate milk for Mocha's I tried the NF and 1% but it doesn't froth, the Soy/Almond milk froths a bit but tastes kinda burned.Although there is a water reservoir in the back of the machine that is very easy to access I do wish it had an additional water adapter like refrigerators do so you don't have to fill it up.The parts are easy to remove and clean, be careful not to use anything other than a soft moist clean cloth on the tower so as not to scratch it.And it does take a bit of added time to clean out the frother after use, at least rinsing between cups so as not to burn the next batch of milk. If you are looking for a real home espresso machine and want the ease of premeasured capsules Nespresso CitiZ is the way to go.It is well worth every dime!!!Don't like black-Kitchen Kaboodle and probably a couple other specialty shops (not Williams-Sonoma) have it in Fire Engine Red!Enjoy!!

Gaggia MDF Coffee Grinder with Doser Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)For $200 this coffee grinder sucks.It's missing nice/easy to add features, like rubber stoppers on the bottom!!Both hands are busy, one holding the espresso handle and one operating the doser and the machine slides all over the counter.Also the doser never worked on my machine.It never dispensed the correct amount of coffee...and the coffee that came out of the dispenser went everywhere.Plus the dispenser handle was less than smooth to pull.I hate this machine.

VP17-3 Pourover Coffee Maker in Stainless Steel (Three Lower Warmers) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)We've had average kitchen Bunn coffeemakers over the years, and thought we liked their performance.This one blows them all away!

With houseguests or parties, this coffeemaker keeps up - water is consistently HOT, burner keeps it hot without scorching, and each pot is as excellent as the next.Honestly, houseguests will rave about your coffee.

Fits on counter, under wall cabinets in our kitchens quite handily (measure and make sure of your clearance first!).

But even if you are a small or average household # of coffee-lovers, this won't disappoint.Very sturdy - doesn't seem to need reservoir cleaning (vinegar/water rinsed thru) as much as the one-pot burner versions...

Great investment for us coffee people that don't want to wait long for the next great pot.

Expobar Pulser Heat Exchange Espresso Machine Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I have had this unit for 15 months and use it about 8 times per week.It has been rock solid.I rate it five stars.At the time I bought it from Whole Latte Love (a sister company to Aabree Coffee) it was about $700 on sale with free ship.I really like it because it has adjustable brew pressure and steam temperature.That puts it in the same league as the big boys costing $2,000 and up.

It has an E-61 type system, meaning it uses an automatic system to keep a small amount of boiler water recirculating through the brew head to keep it hot between use.Once it warms up, the portafilter and brewhead are hot, no need to flush hot water through them to warm them.

One side effect of the E-61 is "overheating" when left idle over a 1/2 hour or so.The brew water can get too hot for perfect espresso, then you just have to flush 2 or 3 ounces of brew water through the head to get the temps back to normal (approx 205 degrees F, depends on your taste and the coffee bewing extracted)

Performance-wise, there is more than enough steam for steaming milk.The machine came with two identical steam tips of the single hole type, this makes it easy to control the milk temperature.My nephew has a Pasquini Livia 90 machine with a 3-hole tip, it steamed much too fast.He switched to the Expobar tip and is very happy.

Product Description:
The Expobar Office Pulser espresso machine is one of a kind with a combination of low cost and high quality design and construction. It can brew and steam at the same time making it ideal for any type of home use, small deli or bagel shop. The separate hot water dispenser and steam wand are mounted on a 360-degree ball joint. The group head is comparable to the renown E61 group head with pre-infusion and thermal siphon for maximum temperature stability and aroma extraction. Its electronic boiler controls, safety switches and internal components mirror those of the larger commercial espresso machines. The Expobar Office Pulser is short enough to fit under a 16' high cabinet and is only 9.5' wide. The stainless steel housing gives it as much form as it has function. The accessories include a chrome plated brass portafilter, tamper, single shot filter basket, double shot filter basket and a 7 gram coffee scoop.
