Saeco 30013 Aroma Traditional Espresso Machine, Stainless Steel Review

My sister has owened an Aroma for years and I'd always been impress with the quality of espresso and capucino she could make at home.And one morning, I just decided that I deserved the best coffee too and ordered my own.I picked the chrome model which complements my other chrome appliances in my kitchen.It's a robust and simple piece of machinery that produces an amazing espresso.The extraction time is small, the crema is thick and their patented gizmo they use to foam milk is fool-proof.Just stick it in an wait a few seconds and you get the best foam.

Nice.Thanks for that info.Was listing any specs on this product asking a little too much?God forbid you mention how much this holds.But perhaps they figured that knowing it was "manufactured to the highest quality available" was far more important then knowing a single detail.I'm sure these are flying off the shelves.

Lavazza Italian Crema & Aroma Espresso Point Pods (100 ct) Review

These coffee pods make a very good coffee. The lavazza coffee machine is 800$, but since it was bought by my company, I don't really care, I get to enjoy this good coffee every day.

Breville BES400XL Ikon 15-Bar-Pump Espresso Machine Review

Updated:New rating 2 stars due to longevity issues.

We've owned 3 or 4 different espresso makers over the years, paying big bucks for some.This was the first that delivered for us day in and day out... at least at first.It lasted a lot longer than most until it failed about 14 months after buying it.We have replaced it with the Le Cube Nespresso 180 espresso maker (see our other review there)

Pro:
+ Consistent brew with a great flavor
+ Creates a good (but not best) coffee crema, unlike many other brands
+ A good solid feel to it, does not feel cheap or flimsy to us
+ Overflow tray is huge (and much appreciated I might add)
+ Comes with a stainless frothing cup and scoop for coffee (the other end of the scoop doubles as a coffee tamper too)
+ Seems to handle/tolerate a variety of grinds, fine and course, something other brands seemed to hate
+ Very easy to see remaining water/water level at a glance, thank you!
+ For those who put their appliances away instead of leaving them on the counter: the power plug has a thumb-sized hole in it to more easily (and more safely) pull the plug.I've never seen this feature before.
+ Overflow tray that sits under your cup has a novel "full" indicator/float that pops up when the tray is full and needs to be emptied
+ Comes with espresso cups

Con:
- The clear water container a little awkward with the frothing wand and/or when the coffee holder is inserted in the machine.We find that these items are in the way and need to be moved to slide the water container out of the unit.Probably a picky comment that should not detract from your impression of this gem.
- Water container also has some awkward angles, complicating cleaning.
- Overflow tray "full" indicator noted in the "pro" section above only warns you when the tray is absolutely full with no margin for error, making for an interesting and exciting trip to the sink
- Lasted longer than other models, but ultimately failed shortly after the warranty ended

Neutral:
x Priming/heat-up process, while fast, was very different from our other models.Not an issue, but you need to get used to it.

Bottom line: no longer recommended due to low quality of internal mechanism(s).

Dreamfarm Charcoal Black Grindenstein Review

It's just what we needed. After a major bill to a plumber who told us that coffee grounds collect like sand and clog pipes, we decided that $30 for a knock box was money well invested.

As many have said, the box is too small for commercial use but it's perfect for home and it even fits under the pour spout on the espresso machine for storage. The rubber feet and squat design hold it steady on the counter. The bar is wide, sturdy and rubber coated so it's not likely to dent your filter unit. And the low cut front edge insures that you don't accidentally hit the handle or your finger on the edge.

I think $30 is too high of a mark-up, but nothing cheaper looked nearly as functional. If ours was stolen by a coffe loving burglar (I don't expect it will break) I would buy another immediately.

For everyone who makes espresso at home, this charcoal -black Dreamfarm Grindenstein is a solution for your used coffee grounds. Just as you have seen your barista do at your favorite cafe, simply place the Grindenstein on a flat surface, then remove the group handle from your machine. Turn the group handle upside down and bang it across the dump bar. PRESTO! No more denting the sink, or messy grounds in the trash; your group handle is now empty and you have collected a fabulous natural fertilizer for your garden or houseplants.

Timolino 16 oz. Aromatic Australian Press, black Review

This little unit is great. I cannot vouch for its coffee-making abilities, but it is excellent for making a cup of tea. The mesh filter is finer than the mesh used in most tea infuser balls, so that cup of African rooibos won't have bits of leaf floating around in it. It also brews a more flavorful cup of tea because the tea is free to float around in the liquid, unlike tea made with an infuser ball. It holds enough liquid to make one large mug of coffee or tea. It's quite durable too, as long as you don't use it as a football. The unit also fully disassembles for cleaning (hint: to remove the filter, just push the post on the middle of the filter assembly to the side, just make sure you don't lose the ball bearing - it's the part that stops the flow of liquid when you lift the unit off your mug.)

The only caveat is that if your favorite mug has a diameter greater than the average coffee mug, you'll have to dispense the liquid a little differently. Just rest one of the plastic tabs on the bottom of the unit against the outside of your mug's rim, and dispense the liquid.

Highly recommended.
