			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Is it really possible to have professional quality coffee in your home without having to get a second mortgage? With the Dalla Corte Mini espresso machine, it is. Although this professional quality machine is small enough to easily fit under your kitchen counters, it provides a double boiler for a seemingly never ending stream of steam and the Direct Temperature Control System lets you measure out the perfect temp for making your shots. This model doesn’t have a lot of the bells and whistles found in other models, it simply makes a professional quality coffee drink time and time again.</p>
<h3>Features of Dalla Corte Mini Espresso Machine</h3>
<p>Many of the features you find here are the same features you would find in a machine at your local coffee shop. For instance, the Dalla Corte Mini espresso machine features a brass portafilter that is chrome plated for extra durability. The brew group featured here is also made to professional standards and features the patented DTCS system that helps you brew the perfect shot. This machine will also help you get enthused about pre-infusion. A pre infusion option is available that preps your grounds before you make your shot for an extra rich taste.<br />
<a title="dalla corte mini" href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0046L7OPI/ref=as_li_tf_tl?ie=UTF8&amp;tag=espresso.machines.guide-20&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;camp=217145&amp;creative=399373&amp;creativeASIN=B0046L7OPI"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-424" style="border: 0pt none;" title="dalla corte mini espresso machine" src="http://espressomachinesguide.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/image_dalacortemini.jpg" alt="dala corte mini espresso machine" width="540" height="540" /></a></p>
<p><strong>Convenience</strong></p>
<p>Although the keypad helps to make brewing easier than on most fully manual machines, this isn’t a model for someone new to the at home brewing game. There are dozens of other fully automated models out there if you need help brewing the perfect shot, this machine is for experts, or at least seasoned vets, only. However, with a bit of practice, or some expert instruction, this model will provide top quality coffee drinks to you and your loved ones for years to come. If you are serious about learning the finer points of lattes, cappuccinos and more, than this is a great machine to pick.</p>
<p><strong>Style</strong></p>
<p>At first glance, one might think that this model looks a bit stark, but it is, in fact, a beautiful machine that creates professional grade drinks right in your own home. Like most popular models, Dalla Corte Mini espresso machines are decked out in silver and black, and the highly polished surface will blend in perfectly with any other stainless steel appliances you have. The handsome keypad in the upper right hand corner adds a bit of  a space age feel to the proceedings and the handy temperature gauge gives this model a bit of a mad scientist feel, as well.</p>
<p><strong>Value</strong></p>
<p>The value presented here can’t really be measured in traditional terms. The people who purchase this model aren’t looking for a great value, they are looking for the best possible coffee drink possible from a home brewing machine. If you are a chronic visitor to your local coffee house, yes, this model can be considered a good value because you won’t have any need to go there any longer, but if you just want a nice cappuccino once in a while, there are hundreds of other machines you can buy that will give you that for a fraction of the price.</p>
<p><strong>What People Are Saying</strong></p>
<p>As to be expected, the reviews for this model are overwhelmingly positive. The biggest complaint often registered is that you worry about making the perfect shot every time you use it because you have the tools in front of you to accomplish this goal. Instead, fans of this machine recommend trial and error until you can figure out the best formula for you personally. The front mounted temperature gauges are a huge help since they tell you exactly when to brew your shots. Dalla Corte Mini espresso machines are beloved by people who love a good coffee.</p>
<h4><a title="dalla corte mini reviews" href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0046L7OPI/ref=as_li_tf_tl?ie=UTF8&amp;tag=espresso.machines.guide-20&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;camp=217145&amp;creative=399373&amp;creativeASIN=B0046L7OPI" target="_self">Click Here to Read Dalla Corte Mini Reviews</a></h4>
<p><strong>Conclusion</strong></p>
<p>Espresso makers of this quality tend to make their users obsessed with pulling the perfect shot each and every time they use it, and this can sap the fun out of using an incredibly fun appliance. Enjoying a latte made from a machine like this should be a heavenly experience, not one where you are too self critical. If you are willing to spend this kind of coin on a coffee maker, sit back, relax and enjoy incredible quality drinks for decades to come and let someone else worry about being perfect.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Who says a fine coffee grinder has to be bulky and obtuse? The beautiful Pasquini K2 Doserles coffee grinder is a sleek, sophisticated and counter friendly model that offers infinite grind options, a top quality burr and a powerful motor all in a chrome plated, 15 inch tall package. Best of all, this model is affordable enough for anyone who is looking to start taking coffee drinking seriously. This is a great first time burr grinder that is sure to demonstrate to even a first time user that the grind you choose really does affect the flavor of your beverage.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-371" style="border: 0pt none;" title="pasquini k2doserless" src="http://espressomachinesguide.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/image_pasquinidoserless.jpg" alt="pasquini k2doserless" width="540" height="700" /></p>
<p><strong>Features</strong></p>
<p>Without a doubt, the main feature exhibited here is the compact size, the almost cylindrical shape and the chrome plated finish that adds a shine and luster that is second to none. The incredibly high quality burr used here is almost an afterthought since you can get a quality grind from almost any unit in this price range. What you can’t get is the remarkable compact look and feel that this model has. The beautiful Pasquini K2 Doserles coffee grinder is truly a one of a kind model that gives you limitless grinding options and a look that just can’t be beat.</p>
<p><code><iframe src="http://rcm.amazon.com/e/cm?lt1=_blank&#038;bc1=FFFFFF&#038;IS2=1&#038;bg1=FFFFFF&#038;fc1=000000&#038;lc1=0000FF&#038;t=espresso.machines.guide-20&#038;o=1&#038;p=8&#038;l=as1&#038;m=amazon&#038;f=ifr&#038;asins=B000XJO81K" style="width:120px;height:240px;" scrolling="no" marginwidth="0" marginheight="0" frameborder="0" align="right"></iframe></code><strong>Convenience</strong></p>
<p>Many would argue that the absence of a doser actually makes this unit less convenient than other units in the same price range, but it does add a degree of versatility that you won’t find elsewhere. Today’s coffee drinkers demand a grinder that does more than just grind for portafilters. There are French presses and even some high end drip machines that are worthy of a grind of this quality, so why limit yourself? The small, sleek size also helps to add to the convenience since you won’t waste any space when you bring this model home.</p>
<p><strong>Style</strong></p>
<p>Other grinders may be all about versatility or quality, but when it comes to style, many of the most popular models are mum. With the Pasquini K2 Doserles coffee grinder, you get a top quality product that simply looks like no other product on the market today. The chrome plated sides are easy to maintain and keep clean and the sleek design allows you to store this unit in places you wouldn’t be able to with any other grinder. This unit excels to new heights in areas where most grinders fall flat.</p>
<p><strong>Value</strong></p>
<p>When it comes to conserving counter space, this might be the most valuable unit of its kind on the market today. It can also help you save in more traditional ways, as well. Once you own a unit such as this, as well as a corresponding drip machine or espresso maker, you will find that your desire to go out and pay $4 for a cup of coffee are over.  While a unit like this does require a small investment up front, when you look at the bigger picture, it becomes obvious why this model is such a popular sell.</p>
<p><strong>What People Are Saying</strong></p>
<p>The reviews for Pasquini K2 Doserles coffee grinders are overwhelmingly positive. The only possible drawback from choosing this unit over others is if you need to start preparing a huge amount of beans at a time, such as during a dinner party or if you have an unusually large family. There are other models available that can grind beans en masse, but if you live alone or with one or two other people and you each enjoy 2 cups of coffee a day, than this unit will more than meet your needs. As a whole, the public loves this model for its compact nature and beautiful look.</p>
<p><strong>Conclusion</strong></p>
<p>If saving space is your primary concern, you likely won’t find a better unit on the market today. As kitchens shrink and more people abandon their oversized (and unnecessary) suburban homes for inner city living, the need for smaller, more compact appliances is going to skyrocket. It is nice to see one brand that is ahead of the curve on this and it isn’t a surprise to learn that so many people are already on the bandwagon. If you have been looking high and low for a smart little burr grinder, than this is the model for you.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The DeLonghi Magnifica 3300 espresso machine is proof that you don’t have to go into life long debt to purchase a quality super automatic machine for your home. This magnificent model is not only incredibly beautiful with its stainless steel housing, it also creates a wonderful variety of coffee drinks that will have you saving money with each pour. From the internal burr grinder to the separate boilers, everything about this model speaks to the professional barista in all of us. You can certainly purchase machines more expensive than this one, but there really is no need to.</p>
<p><strong>Features</strong></p>
<p>From perfectly pulled shots to an easy to use frothing wand for your milk to the separate wand for hot water, you will never be without the tools you need to create a coffee masterpiece. The easy push button controls make grinding, tamping and brewing your favourite shot simple. You can control the quantity of coffee that is made and the strength of each pour, as well. The built in infusion system lets you prep your grounds for maximum flavour and the bypass doser lets you use special preground beans if you so choose.</p>
<p><a title="delonghi magnifica 3300" href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000N2YKQ0?ie=UTF8&amp;tag=mens.watches.guide-20&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=9325&amp;creativeASIN=B000N2YKQ0" target="_blank"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-368" style="border: 0pt none;" title="delonghi magnifica 3300" src="http://espressomachinesguide.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/product_delonghimagnifica3300.jpg" alt="delonghi magnifica 3300" width="540" height="540" /></a></p>
<p><strong>Convenience</strong></p>
<p>The whole point of owning a super automatic machine is convenience and the DeLonghi Magnifica 3300 espresso machine doesn’t disappoint. The hot water dispenser is separate from the frothing wand, so you never get traces of milk mixed in with your Americanos or hot chocolates. The dump box and brew group are completely removable, so you never have to worry about a build up of muck ruining the flavour of your new machine. Best of all, this model comes with the best customer service promise in the industry. Should your model break down, it is covered. Now that is convenient.</p>
<p><strong>Style</strong></p>
<p>As wonderful as the coffee here is and as easy as the clean up is, this model truly excels in the beauty department. The entire front of the machine is stainless steel and is easy to keep clean. The control panel is understated and beautifully rendered. All DeLonghi Magnifica 3300 espresso machines feature a commitment to quality and beauty that other brands can only dream about. No matter what your kitchen décor is, this unit will easily fit in without any effort at all. This is a model you will be proud to display in your home.</p>
<p><strong>Value</strong></p>
<p>When you consider what the going rate is for a super automatic machine that is this reliable and this easy to use, it is safe to say that this model is a fantastic value, especially if you live in a home that is full of coffee drinkers. Even if you live alone, the fact that this model will render your trips to the coffee house down the road meaningless, is enough to make buying this model worthwhile. With proper care, this model will last you for years, enough time for it to pay for itself several times over.</p>
<p><strong>What People Are Saying</strong></p>
<p>Of all of the machines in this price range, this model has the highest across the board ratings of any popular machine. DeLonghi Magnifica 3300 espresso machines are considered to be the best model for under $1,000 and fans often speak of the consistency, the ease of use and the durability this machine possesses. The steaming mechanism also gets a lot of credit, which is unusual when you consider the fact that this is often the area in which most home brewing machines fall flat. If you want a model between $500-$1000, this is most likely the one to buy.</p>
<p>Conclusion</p>
<p>While there are dozens of espresso makers in this class, only one can claim to have such universal appeal. You don’t have to be a coffee expert to enjoy this model, but if you are, you will be thrilled at how authentic your shots will taste and how professional your lattes and cappuccinos look. This brand has been making fine coffee makers for generations and while this model isn’t their most expensive, it is their most beloved. This is the perfect machine for those folks that drink coffee every day and demand a higher level of satisfaction than most. You won’t be disappointed with this model.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Who says that great, and powerful, things can’t come in small packages? The Pasquini Lux coffee grinder is significantly smaller than its competitors, measuring in at only 13 inches tall, but it packs all of the functionality you would expect from a top flight grinder. This burr grinder features a 150 watt motor enclosed in a beautiful stainless steel case that fits in with any kitchen design. Best of all, this model comes with a handy bean hopper so you don’t have to constantly add new beans every time you want a fresh cup of coffee. For small spaces that require big flavor, this is the unit for you.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-363" style="border: 0pt none;" title="pasquini lux" src="http://espressomachinesguide.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/product_pasquinilux.jpg" alt="pasquini lux" width="540" height="540" /></p>
<p><strong>Features</strong></p>

The grind adjustment knob is very sensitive and allows for an almost limitless degree of variation. No mater what kind of brewing you use this machine for, you can have the perfect grind every time. You can also grind for larger jobs or for smaller ones, so no matter if you are alone or if you are entertaining, this unit will more than keep up with demand.</p>
<p><code><iframe src="http://rcm.amazon.com/e/cm?lt1=_blank&#038;bc1=FFFFFF&#038;IS2=1&#038;bg1=FFFFFF&#038;fc1=000000&#038;lc1=0000FF&#038;t=best-toys-guide-20&#038;o=1&#038;p=8&#038;l=as1&#038;m=amazon&#038;f=ifr&#038;asins=B0011163RG" style="width:120px;height:240px;" scrolling="no" marginwidth="0" marginheight="0" frameborder="0" align="right"></iframe></code><strong>Convenience</strong></p>
<p>The Pasquini Lux coffee grinder features the best in at home coffee making convenience. Thanks to its demure size, you won’t have to sacrifice much in the way of precious counter space to your grinder. You can also save time by making coffee at home instead of having to walk or drive to your local coffee shop. It only takes a few moments for the beans you are grinding to finish, so you won’t be standing around waiting very long, either. This is easily one of the best units on the market today.</p>
<p><strong>Style</strong></p>
<p>Along with providing a compact home to a high quality burr grinder, the other main selling point with this unit is the way it looks. Even if you don’t have a stainless steel kitchen, this unit will look elegant and sophisticated in your home. If you do have a stainless steel kitchen, this is yet another element that will help your living space look the best it can be. The easy to use controls only help to add to the overall beauty of this system. This is a model you fall in love with online or in a store and only come to love more as time goes on.</p>
<p><strong>Value</strong></p>
<p>There can be no denying that most people spend far more than this when they first purchase a high quality grinder. As it turns out, they don’t really need to. This is a unit that provides a restaurant or coffee bar quality drink experience time and time again, and once you stop visiting your favourite coffee haunt, you will soon realize that you’ll save the price of this grinder 20 times over before you move on to another unit.</p>
<p><strong>What People Are Saying</strong></p>
<p>According to most prominent coffee websites, this unit offers a wonderful grind for the money. Fans rave about how easy this model is to use, even when switching from one kind of bean to another, and the rock solid construction also draws raves. The only complaint is from the enclosed instructions that some say aren’t clear enough. For its price, this model is often considered the pick of the litter because of its steady performance and its lasting durability. Some folks do say that it takes a while to master the grind quality, but once you have that area mastered, the rest is easy.</p>
<p><strong>Conclusion</strong></p>
<p>This is an excellent, scaled down grinder for both daily use and for parties. The Pasquini Lux coffee grinder may be small in size but it provides all of the necessary tools you need to turn yourself into a master barista. Pasquini Lux coffee grinders are known to last for years and with proper cleaning and care, you may not have to buy a replacement for a decade or more. If you are looking for a grinder that can help you step into the big leagues without having to spend too much, this is the unit for you.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>People who purchase their coffee at expensive shops stashed in the corner of malls don’t realize what sort of competition there is when it comes to coffee makers. There are all sorts of different types of coffee makers available for purchase, and while it may seem easy in the beginning of a search for the perfect coffee maker, finding the right one that suits your tastes and what you’re looking for can actually be extremely difficult. Enter the <a title="gaggia titanium" href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0007XXHD2?ie=UTF8&amp;tag=espresso.machines.guide-20&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=9325&amp;creativeASIN=B0007XXHD2" target="_self">Gaggia Titanium espresso machine</a>.</p>
<h3><strong>Features of Gaggia Titanium Espresso Machine<br />
</strong></h3>
<p>This is the ideal replacement for your favorite coffee shop treat. This maker has a variety of features making it one of the top picks, including the rapid steam technology, which allows the user to go from brewing to steaming and right back to brewing again without having to wait even a few moments. It has push button technology, and nothing is easier to use for making a cup of coffee: simply push the button and the machine will grind and extract the coffee to be exactly the way the owner of the machine likes it. It will then even dump the coffee grounds into an internal dump box for later disposal. In most cases it can make a cup of coffee in 35 seconds and will be ready to brew another cup just as quickly. An LCD display keeps the user of this espresso maker cued in on what is going on with their coffee as well, making it a simple matter to keep track of how the coffee is coming along.</p>
<p><a title="buy it" href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0007XXHD2/ref=as_li_tf_tl?ie=UTF8&amp;tag=espresso.machines.guide-20&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;camp=217145&amp;creative=399381&amp;creativeASIN=B0007XXHD2" target="_blank"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-405" style="border: 0pt none;" title="gaggia titanium espresso machine" src="http://espressomachinesguide.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/image_gaggiatitanium.jpg" alt="gaggia titanium espresso machine" width="540" height="540" /></a></p>
<p><strong>Convenience/Usability</strong></p>
<p>Thanks to the push button features on this coffee maker, it’s extremely easy to use. While the owner of the coffee maker can choose to make their drink unique, adding the right sort of infusion to the coffee and getting the temperature to the exact point of warmth that they like, it can all be done through automation as well, making it ideal for any user, whether they’re someone who enjoys having total control over their coffee or someone who just wants to get it done quickly.</p>
<p><strong>Style</strong></p>
<p>The style of the Gaggia Titanium espresso machines are extremely modern. Every inch is covered with stainless steel, and the front of the machine houses the LCD monitor and all of the buttons necessary to create the perfect cup of coffee. The machine is rather large, but is short enough to fit under most cabinets easily. There is even room on top of this machine to place a few coffee cups, making it perfect for someone who enjoys entertaining. It has been designed to fit with most modern kitchen styles, but should perfectly accompany whatever style you have chosen for your kitchen.</p>
<p><strong>Value</strong></p>
<p>The Gaggia Titanium espresso machine is priced to sell at an amazing value. Just under $1,000, this machine is worth at least two times that, if not more. The fact that it can do everything that a professional barrista’s machine can do, and that it can do it all by pushing a single button, makes it an amazing value indeed.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-360" style="border: 0pt none;" title="specs" src="http://espressomachinesguide.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/product_gaggiatitanium2.jpg" alt="specs" width="540" height="300" /></p>
<p><strong>What People Are Saying</strong></p>
<p>Everyone who has this coffee maker is raving about it. They have owned it for a number of years and enjoy not only how easy it is to use, but the great taste that comes out of the machine. They enjoy the look of it as well as how quiet it is while it’s working. This machine always comes out on top whenever people have to review their favorite espresso machine.</p>
<p><strong>Conclusion</strong></p>
<p>The Gaggia Titanium espresso machine is one of our top picks for a number of reasons. To begin with, it’s extremely simple to use. The one button system makes it unintimidating for everyone. At the same time, the amount that you can control the coffee that it is brewing is extreme, making it ideal for those who enjoy having a cup of coffee exactly the way that they want it when they want it. It’s almost insanely fast, creating a cup of coffee at home in almost less time than it takes to place an order at a coffee shop, and is also a beautiful addition to any modern kitchen.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Many of today’s top machines claim to be professional-grade or offer some kind of functionality that they have labelled “Pro” but only a handful of machines can actually be used in coffee houses in a business capacity. The Saeco Royal Professional espresso machine is definitely one of them. With the ability to brew up to 100 cups per day, this is one machine ready to do some heavy lifting. With push button control and a degree of automation that has to be seen to be believed, this is one coffee maker that stands head and shoulders above the rest.</p>
<h3><strong>Features of the Saeco Royal Professional Espresso Machine<br />
</strong></h3>
<p>It would also be quicker to list the things that this model can’t do instead of all of the incredible things it can. With the touch of a button, you can grind, tamp and brew your shots, but there is also a built in bypass system that lets you use preground beans, as well. You have full control over how much coffee you brew with each use, as well as an LCD display that will keep you up to date with what your machine is doing. The Saeco Royal Professional espresso machine also offers an incredible cup warmer, a hot water dispenser, two frothing attachments and so much more.</p>
<p><a title="saeco professional royal espresso machine" href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000AQAHPC/ref=as_li_tf_tl?ie=UTF8&amp;tag=espresso.machines.guide-20&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;camp=217145&amp;creative=399381&amp;creativeASIN=B000AQAHPC" target="_self"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-411" style="border: 0pt none;" title="saeco royal professional espresso machine" src="http://espressomachinesguide.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/image_saecoroyalprofessional.jpg" alt="saeco royal professional espresso machine" width="540" height="540" /></a></p>
<p><strong>Convenience</strong></p>
<p>It is a bit ironic to note that while this is a model that prides itself on offering an incredible degree of automation and convenience, that it is actually built for completely chaotic situations. With the ability to handle shot after shot, cup after cup, this is the model you will want if you are making drinks for the entire block. There is even a tool that shoves out used coffee grinds so all you have to do is empty the small tray the grounds are deposited on. Now that is convenience!</p>
<p><strong>Style</strong></p>
<p>There can be much debate about which part of the Saeco Royal Professional espresso machine is most impressive. Is it the ease of use, the quick clean up or the fact that all of this functionality was housed in such an attractive package? While the design is a bit bulky, the look of this model is quite impressive. Even on the brewing platform there is enough room and enough space to perform several tasks at once, no small feat from any at home machine. There can be no doubt that this model features incredible functionality in a beautifully realized package.</p>
<p><strong>Value</strong></p>
<p>When you consider the fact that Saeco Royal Professional espresso machines are capable of brewing hundreds of thousands of cups of perfect coffee every year, and when you consider the incredible quality of each cup, it is safe to say that this model qualifies as an incredible value. Do you need to have an army of coffee drinkers to brew for to make a purchase like this worthwhile? Not at all, you simply need people who love a quality latte and who have very little time to wait for one.</p>
<p><strong>What People Are Saying</strong></p>
<p>You have to look far and wide to find a legitimate criticism of this model. Overwhelmingly, people are praising this machine for its incredible versatility and the ability to practically clean itself. The only possible detraction that has been said about this model is the fact that the instructions are a bit complex, but when you are dealing with a machine with this much in the way of functionality, it is to be expected. Something tells me that if this model appears under your Christmas tree next year, you won’t mind taking a few days to read the instructions.</p>
<p><strong>Conclusions</strong></p>
<p>You don’t have to be an experienced barista with thousands of cups under your belt to appreciate this model, but if you are, you are going to love having one of these in your home. It isn’t the speed or the ability to dispose of its own grounds that really sets this machine apart, it is the fact that it is a quality espresso maker that brews great cups of coffee again and again. The fact that it can do this on such a large scale is icing on the cake. If you live with people that love coffee, this is the model for you.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The Gaggia MDF coffee grinder is easily one of the most affordable and easiest to use units of its kind available today. Its compact shape and weight of only 10 pounds is significantly less than almost every other grinder in its class, yet performance does not diminish here, at all. This is the ultimate burr grinder for apartment living or for even smaller spaces like dorm rooms. The automatic doser delivers just the right amount of grounds to any portafilter, so it doesn’t matter if you are going for a single or a double, a quick press of a lever and you have the perfect cup of coffee ready to go.</p>
<h3><strong>Features of the Gaggia MDF Grinder<br />
</strong></h3>
<p>Although this unit is a bit on the small side compared to many of its contemporaries, it is incredibly well made and very durable. Don’t be surprised if this little unit lasts you for decades. There are 34 unique grind settings available here, so no matter how you like your coffee or if you are switching back and forth from a French press to espresso to a drip machine,  you can do it all with the <a title="buy it" href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0001KOA7I/ref=as_li_tf_tl?ie=UTF8&amp;tag=espresso.machines.guide-20&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;camp=217145&amp;creative=399381&amp;creativeASIN=B0001KOA7I" target="_self">Gaggia MDF coffee grinder</a>. This model also comes with some of the highest quality burrs found anywhere. You don’t have to sacrifice quality in a smaller, more compact grinder.</p>
<p><a title="gaggia mdf grinder" href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0001KOA7I/ref=as_li_tf_tl?ie=UTF8&amp;tag=espresso.machines.guide-20&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;camp=217145&amp;creative=399381&amp;creativeASIN=B0001KOA7I" target="_self"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-415" style="border: 0pt none;" title="gaggia mdf grinder" src="http://espressomachinesguide.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/images_gaggiamdf.jpg" alt="gaggia mdf grinder" width="540" height="540" /></a></p>
<p><strong>Convenience</strong></p>
<p>Having a unit like this in your life can add untold convenience to your lifestyle. Imagine never having to get out of bed extra early so you can swing by the coffee shop for a $4 or even $5 coffee drink. You can make all of your favourites right at home, and for a fraction of the cost. Clean up with this model is easy and dosing the right serving size is a no brainer. You may not realize how much a product like this can make your life easier, but it can!</p>
<p><code></code><strong>Style</strong></p>
<p>The Gaggia MDF coffee grinder uses elegant curves, a sleek, ultra modern black case and a reduced size to add style and sophistication to your kitchen. Available in both black and white, this model can stand up to any amount of usage, even if you are the type of person that must have a warm cup of coffee by their side throughout the day. The case is scratch resistant and it easily blends in with any décor you may have in your home.</p>
<p><strong>Value</strong></p>
<p>Gaggia MDF coffee grinders are a great value, not only because they are priced considerably less than much of their competition, but also because they will eliminate the need to buy coffee elsewhere. Not only is grinding and brewing your own espresso drinks a smart financial move, it is incredibly fun, as well. You’ll soon be inviting people over to taste your original creations, and who knows, a small investment in a grinder like this could even start a new career for you! You will save a bundle with a handy little grinder like this in your home.</p>
<p><strong>What People Are Saying</strong></p>
<p>It shouldn’t come as a surprise that fans of this product rave about it, but what may be surprising is that people who, in the past, have owned far more expensive grinders also rave about this unit. Several reviews mention a measure of regret that they didn’t purchase this item instead of one that costs three times as much. Even if you are regularly making coffee drinks for multiple people at once, you can get the job done with this handy little unit. Overall, the reviews for this model are very positive and leave little doubt that this is a unit worth owning.</p>
<p><strong>Conclusion</strong></p>
<p>If you were to pass this item on the shelf at your local mall, you may walk right past it or dismiss it assuming that such a scaled down grinder can’t get the job done, but you would be robbing yourself of a chance to see one of the best units in this price range at work. You don’t have to go out and spend more money than you need to get a grinder that will not only live up to expectations but surpass them. This is one small grinder that is big on performance and on surpassing expectations.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This model of espresso maker is distinctive in its styling and in its function.  It would be ideal for home use or, alternatively, a small donut, bagel, or deli shop would be able to put it to good use as well.  It combines a functional design with high quality construction.</p>
<h3><strong>Features of the Expobar Office Pulser Espresso Machine<br />
</strong></h3>
<p>The Expobar Office Pulser espresso machine offers superior heat stability utilizing brass that has been chrome-plated.  Maintaining a heated temperature at a consistent level is central to producing high quality espresso.  The portafilter sits inside a brew group constructed of brass that has been plated with chrome.  The very popular and essential thermal siphon is vital in circulating water in a consistent manner to enable it to remain hot at all times.  You never need to run a “blank shot” through to determine if the water is heated.</p>
<p><a title="buy expobar office pulser" href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000UHAI78/ref=as_li_tf_tl?ie=UTF8&amp;tag=espresso.machines.guide-20&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;camp=217145&amp;creative=399373&amp;creativeASIN=B000UHAI78" target="_self"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-417" style="border: 0pt none;" title="expobar office pulser espresso machine" src="http://espressomachinesguide.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/image_expobarofficepulser.jpg" alt="expobar office pulser espresso machine" width="540" height="540" /></a></p>
<p>The boiler is made of all copper and can hold 1.8 liters of water.  The system uses an internal heat exchanger that keeps the brewing water and the stored water separated.  This allows the flexibility of dispensing hot water whenever the need arises, while being able to brew and steam at the same time.  Users will find this especially useful when entertaining a gathering of friends and family or in those cases when this espresso machine is used in a commercial setting.</p>
<p>The three-way solenoid valve is another great characteristic of <a title="expobar office review" href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000UHAI78/ref=as_li_tf_tl?ie=UTF8&amp;tag=espresso.machines.guide-20&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;camp=217145&amp;creative=399373&amp;creativeASIN=B000UHAI78" target="_self">Expobar Office Pulser espresso machines</a>.  It relieves the pressure on the water when the brew switch has been turned off.  This is important for two reasons.  First, it dries the coffee out so it won’t drip and, secondly, it makes it easier to knock the coffee from the portafilter.  The water is then deposited into a drip tray.</p>
<p>Being that you never want to use a cold cup to hold that wonderful espresso liquid, it is a delightful feature that this machine provides a cup warmer.  It can actually hold up to 14 cups of espresso.  The heat used to warm the cups comes from the “left over” (known as residual) heat from the boiler.  It is recycled, as it were.</p>
<p>This model also provides a steam wand and hot water dispenser.  Having a hot water dispenser is a great way to heat up cups or offer hot water for a drink of tea.  Both the hot water dispensing wand and the steam wand are high enough and long enough to be able to pivot in any direction for maximum ease of use.</p>
<p><code></code><strong>Convenience/Usability</strong></p>
<p>The controls on the Expobar Office Pulser espresso machine are easy to understand and use without any assistance from an instructional manual.  You simply turn on the switch to the main power and the boiler will begin to fill with water and warm up.  There is a temperature “ready” light and when it goes off, that is your signal to start the brewing process.</p>
<p><strong>Style</strong></p>
<p>This model of espresso machine serves a very functional purpose.  It offers stainless steel housing and can fit easily under a cabinet with a height of 16 inches.  It is only 9.5 inches in width.</p>
<p><strong>Value</strong></p>
<p>Users have attested to the fact that this machine has a relatively low cost considering its top-of-the-line construction and effective design.  Its accessories include a portafilter made with brass and plated with chrome, a tamper, a 7-gram coffee scoop, and both single and double shot filter baskets.</p>
<p><strong>What People Are Saying</strong></p>
<p>Consumers who have purchased this espresso machine have reported that they have found it rugged in durability and yet attractive in style, with most deeming it an excellent value.  Most reviewers keep their espresso machines for years and use them daily.  This model has been reported to stand the test of time quite well.  If after two or three years, a part begins to wear out (which can be expected from normal wear and tear with use), replacement parts are easily found and installed.  Reviewers of this product have positively glowed about its ability to produce extremely hot and thick frothed milk that is the answer to your latte fantasies.</p>
<p><strong>Conclusion</strong></p>
<p>If you want durability, reliability, and serviceable function from your espresso machine, this could be the machine of your dreams.  For those passionate about their espresso, lattes, and cappuccinos, the Expobar Office Pulser espresso machine can fulfill and satisfy your needs.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This is a charming little espresso maker that comes in a bright fire engine red color.  It should be the highlight of your countertop, along with the exquisite espresso it will brew for your family and friends.</p>
<p><strong>Features</strong></p>
<p>The Gaggia Espresso Color espresso machine offers a steel boiler which provides a high quality device for retaining heat.  Its pump is also capable of producing 15 bars of pressure so that the brew of your coffee drink turns out just right.  It also contains a portafilter with pod baskets and the baskets with a capacity for single or double shot.  This machine comes with a two-year warranty.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-342" style="border: 0pt none;" title="gaggia espresso color" src="http://espressomachinesguide.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/product_gaggiaespressocolor.jpg" alt="gaggia espresso color" width="540" height="700" /></p>
<p>The pod filter basket that is included with this espresso machine is ESE-ready and fits easily with their pods.  Easy Serve Espresso is a standard name in the coffee industry for pre-measured coffee packets.  You have the ability to choose between using the pods or grinding and tamping down your own coffee beans.  It clearly will depend on your preference and how much time you have to spend brewing your favorite drink.</p>
<p>The water reservoir on this machine is located in the back and is easy to remove simply by lifting up.  It can hold 42 ounces of water.</p>
<p>This espresso machine utilizes the Pannarello steam wand as an attachment to infuse steam into your milk.  This completely simplifies the frothing process so you can enjoy a quality beverage with ease.  To use the steam button, press the switch and wait for the ready light to turn on.  Place your frothing pitcher under the nozzle of the wand and release the steam.  When you are through, press the steam switch again to shut it off.  The machine can also function as a hot water heater to use for tea or hot chocolate.</p>
<p><code><iframe src="http://rcm.amazon.com/e/cm?lt1=_blank&#038;bc1=FFFFFF&#038;IS2=1&#038;bg1=FFFFFF&#038;fc1=000000&#038;lc1=0000FF&#038;t=espresso.machines.guide-20&#038;o=1&#038;p=8&#038;l=as1&#038;m=amazon&#038;f=ifr&#038;asins=B0015QTC7K" style="width:120px;height:240px;" scrolling="no" marginwidth="0" marginheight="0" frameborder="0" align="right"></iframe></code><strong>Convenience/Usability</strong></p>
<p>Gaggia Espresso Color espresso machines offer users a control panel that is simple to operate.  When looking at the machine, going from left to right, there is a button for the coffee and hot water, the ready indicator light, then the knob for the steam valve, and finally the steam button.  Each is clearly marked with an “icon,” to help you identify which button is for which purpose.  An indicator light comes on when the machine is ready to begin brewing.  Press the coffee/hot water button to start the process.  When your beverage has been completed, press the button again to stop the water from flowing.</p>
<p>The composition of the machine using a red ABS plastic makes cleaning a breeze by just wiping it down with a damp cloth.  The material is also as durable as it is easy to clean.  The stainless steel boiler allows the machine to heat to exactly the right temperature for that perfect cup of latte, espresso, cappuccino, or Americano.</p>
<p><strong>Style</strong></p>
<p>This beautiful machine will definitely make a bold statement on your countertop.  The color and beauty of the object tends to draw one’s eyes toward it almost immediately.  A lot of purchasers have pointed to the red color that first drew their attention to this machine.</p>
<p><strong>Value</strong></p>
<p>The price on Gaggia Espresso Color espresso machines is as enticing as its color and aesthetic appeal.  It is a very reasonably priced and affordable espresso machine, and a true value in light of all the features it offers.  Amenities included are an instruction manual written in precise detail, a measuring spoon, a tamper, and filters for a pod basket, single shot, or double shot.</p>
<p><strong>What People Are Saying</strong></p>
<p>Consumers who have commented on this product have said that is provides a “snappy” look to their countertop.  Those who have purchased this model seem to be quite happy with the espresso it produces.  Many are also happy with the speed in which the machine heats up.  Most users who purchased this product stated that they had researched espresso machines quite extensively before deciding on this one and that they quite happy with their choice.  The affordable price is a motivating factor, as well as the delightful and stylish color of the machine.</p>
<p><strong>Conclusion</strong></p>
<p>The Gaggia Espresso Color espresso machine seems to have pleased many purchasers with the price and color, as well as the excellent cup of espresso it makes.  This machine will be great for the coffee connoisseur who doesn’t want to spend a fortune on larger or higher-end models, yet still wants that same exquisite cup of espresso.</p>
