Saeco Xelsis SS Automatic Espresso Machine, Stainless Steel Review

This machine is terrific. Expensive, but terrific. The features are convenient and very well thought out. It can be customized for 6 different users - each with 9 drinks. Most importantly, it makes great, very hot coffee. I have had this now for 4 months and I could not be happier.

This model is a quantum leap over the Talea (see my review) and Primea, both of which I have owned.

The milk circuit is completely separate from the rest of the machine so that no milk operations involve the internal machine circuits. This makes milk carafe cleaning fast and immediate, with no intervention required from the user.

La Pavoni EPC-8 Europiccola 8-Cup Lever Style Espresso Machine, Chrome Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
My parents bought this about five years ago and I followed suit about a year ago. When she first bought it I thought they were crazy, but when it got there I understood why.

This machine is superb for almost any kind of coffee. Sometimes I like a strong espresso and sometimes I like a cold cafe sheccerato which is a cold coffee and is great. (To make it you simply get a shaker (like a martini shaker) and fill it with ice and a few teaspoons of sugar. Brew the coffee and while it is still very hot throw it in the shaker and shake it strongly for about a minute. The result is an ice cold frothy espresso, great for warm days - forget Starbucks imitation stuff, this is much better).

As other people have said, it takes a little bit of time to get it right. Typically I've found that very thin grains are not the best to work with, something between your typical Illy coffee grain and the larger cheap grains usually works well. It take a bit to get used to, but once you start to get a hold of the whole concept it works superbly well. Frankly, even when you do a poor job the coffee is still good.

In addition, my parents have had this item for about five years and have not had a single problem. It's extremely easy to clean and if you are in a rush it's also a great machine since it loads so quickly and easily.

Also, if you are running out the door you need not wait for the water to completely heat up. You can run it after just a few minutes (of course your coffee won't be as warm, but it doesn't have to heat up completely in order to use it). For those quick out-the-door mornings, this is great. You won't have the best espresso in the world, but you'll still have one that beats just about anything.

I've been through about three [price range] machines in the last few years and they all broke or just didn't taste right. ... You have to be able to taste the difference between good and bad coffee to enjoy this machine. If you don't you probably won't enjoy this machine as much. In other words, if Folgers Instant coffee tastes good to you, move along.

It's also worth getting good coffee for this. ...

In the end, if you are looking for a high-quality product that makes high quality coffee, this is a great choice.

BUNN VPR Commercial 12-Cup Pour-Over Coffee Brewer, with 2 Warmers Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
About 15 years ago, I purchased a Bunn home duty coffee maker and found it to be excellent. After about 5 years of nearly daily use, it started to get a little finicky so I took it apart in an attempt to clean the hot water chamber. Turned out the sealing parts are not really made to be taken apart after 5 years of use and then go back together.

In a quest for a new Bunn, I found that the VPR cost about double what the home version cost so.... 10 years later, the Bunn VPR is still going strong and has helped out at family events serving large groups of people (just what the machine is designed for!). Despite having water poured into the bottom heat plate (don't try to pour water in without a carafe in place), it still works perfectly!

A hint to those who make coffee only on the weekends: the design of the Bunn is that it is a small hot water tank and keeps a couple gallons of water hot and ready to go at all times. This will use some electricity and I've taken to putting a towel over the top of mine to help insulate and lower energy usage. Additionally, being hot all the time, water will evaporate. If going more than a couple days without making coffee, it's best to pour a pitcher of water in (with the filter basket empty and a carafe ready to catch the hot water) to top off the tank and then make a pot with coffee after it has reheated the reservoir.

If by some Act of God, my Bunn stops working, I will not hesitate to purchase another Commercial Bunn for what is essentially personal, home use. If you love coffee and can tolerate the price, this is a great choice for a coffee brewer!

Jura Impressa Z7 One-Touch Automatic Coffee Center Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I was really tired of waiting in line at my local Starbucks for an espresso that wasn't perfect. So I looked at what I've spent over the last few years for satisfactory coffee, and created a budget.

Turns out I got top of the line results, under budget and memorable espresso. I have yet to have a bad or inconsistent pull. Quick, quiet and consistently great quality, it's everything I wanted.

BUNN BTX-B ThermoFresh 10-Cup Thermal-Carafe Home Coffee Brewer, Black Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I bought this brewer in October. At first I was very happy with it. Then the carafe started leaking so bad it was ridiculous. I called Bunn a couple of days ago and the lady told me to wash the spout and the seal around the rim with Dawn dishwashing soap (she specifically said Dawn which I happened to have on hand) and the carafe would perform much better. She said that after a number of uses the oil from the coffee keeps the seal from sealing well. I hung up fully expecting to call her back in a few minutes. I washed the carafe as she suggested and it works like new again... no leaks!! If you have this pot, try it, you'll be amazed at the difference. Now I love this brewer again!

Nespresso D120 Citiz Silver Chrome Automatic Espresso Machine with Aeroccino Milk Frother Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I've been with Nespresso for almost twenty years and the love relationship is still going strong. This new machine has a great look and the milk frother is a REALLY clever invention. It's so quiet you'll wonder if it's actually running. The only negative about this machine is the frother fuzziness with certain types of milk. You are going to have to figure out which local brand of milk works best for you. In my experience, organic vs. non-organic, or whole milk versus skim milk, has nothing to do with it. One whole milk in one brand will work great while in another it will not foam. But when you find the right milk, this machine makes the thickest foam known the mankind. Note that it's a different kind of foam than steamed foam. It's drier than steamed foam and perhaps a tad less creamier, but still wonderful. Also cleaning the frother is a little awkward since you can't submerge it. But easy enough to get the hang of it.

Product Description

Enjoy fine espressos with delicious flavor using Nespresso's Citiz automatic espresso machine. Designed for convenience and ultimate taste, the machine has a sleek and attractive silver chrome finish, and uses Nespresso's superior coffee capsules. These capsules are hermetically sealed in a protective aluminum casing, and provide the freshest possible coffee. The machine uses a 19 bar pressure pump, with an energy saving mode, to extract the best qualities and flavors from your coffee, creating the perfect brew. Once your espresso has finished brewing, the machine ejects the capsules into a container that holds up to ten used capsules at a time. Combined with the removable drip tray, custom volume control, and folding cup support, you simply can't beat this machine. Additionally, Nespresso's Aeroccino milk frother is included, which allows you to use steamed milk to make delicious cappuccinos, lattes, and more.

La Pavoni Professional PBB-16 Espresso Machine Black Base Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
We've only had this machine for a week now, but I'm already in love. It makes the best espresso I have ever tasted... We are coffee snobs (roast our own beans even!) and this machine is perfection. It's quiet (so nice not to hear the thunk thunk of a pump!), easy to use, etc. We thought there was going to be more of a learning curve, but after pulling a few shots, we've got it down. The foam extension isn't the best, but we're getting some pretty good foam now a week later. This machine is perfect too for people who have limited counterspace. It looks SO sexy on the counter, is easier to clean than our pump machine, and takes up so little space.

I'm in love. :) (Don't tell my husband! ;))
