Features

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.

Convenience/Usability

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.

Style

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.

Value

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.

What People Are Saying

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.

Conclusion

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.

Features

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.

Convenience

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!

Style

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.

Value

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.

What People Are Saying

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.

Conclusions

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.

Features

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 Gaggia MDF coffee grinder. 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.

Convenience

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!

Style

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.

Value

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.

What People Are Saying

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.

Conclusion

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.

Features

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.

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.

The three-way solenoid valve is another great characteristic of Expobar Office Pulser espresso machines.  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.

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.

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.

Convenience/Usability

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.

Style

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.

Value

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.

What People Are Saying

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.

Conclusion

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.

Features

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.

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.

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.

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.

Convenience/Usability

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.

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.

Style

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.

Value

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.

What People Are Saying

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.

Conclusion

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.

Features

This model also comes with an automatic shutoff that makes using a machine like this a dream. You will never lose the motor by leaving it on for hours at a time. The bean basket that is mounted on top of this model is easily removable, even while there are still beans inside it. Everything about this model is convenient.

Style

Thanks to the large size of this model, you are going to need a good amount of counter space for it, but once you have found a home for your new tool, you will likely fall in love with it. It is beautifully designed and features a black and silver color scheme that should fit into any kitchen décor. The controls are side mounted and almost hidden, which helps to add to the uniformity of the design. Not only is this one of the highest rated models on the market today, it is also one of the most attractive.

Value

For those folks that cherish a perfectly made espresso or French press, it is hard to put a real value on a machine such as this. If you are considering a model such as this, you likely see coffee as an art form and each day as a chance to master the perfect shot, the perfect cup or the perfect press. Having the tools in your home that allow you to get as close to that goal as possible can only be described as a great value because they let you chase a dream. Having a grinder like this at home also lets you stay away from overpriced coffee drinks made by your local barista.

What People Are Saying

As can be expected, the reviews for a machine of this calibre are overwhelmingly positive. People love the unlimited grinding settings and how incredibly consistent it is, grind after grind. People also love the automatic shut off and the fact that the grind is surprisingly quiet. The only minor complaint is about the enclosed instruction booklet, although many people say that once you begin playing with the various settings, it becomes much easier to use.

Conclusion

Mazzer Mini coffee grinders are universally beloved because they are often more than what people need. These models were developed for heavy use on a per-hour basis, so when the average home user only uses it two or maybe three times per day, they are given a grinder that literally lasts a lifetime. These models seldom break, seldom malfunction, and with proper cleaning and maintenance, you will be giving it away to your children in a few decades. Home appliances simply don’t get any more complete than this. If you are chasing that elusive perfect cup of coffee, this is a unit that can help you get closer than ever before.

Features

Looking at the price tag, it is amazing that this model doesn’t cost more. The front of the unit is graced by a large button featuring a coffee cup logo. A simple touch of this button and your coffee is on the way. You can program your machine to make the perfect shots at just the right moment or you can simply press a button and enjoy your drink at that moment. The boiler here is stainless steel and the new Rapid Steam system lets you go from brewing to frothing in seconds.

Convenience

At first glance, you may think that a machine that costs this much must require you to be an expert in the field of brewing coffee. In reality, the fully automated brewing process only has to be as complicated as you want it to be. This unit allows for a more manual touch if you want to be in control of what is going on, but even the automated setting allows you to change the strength of your pours as well as the quality. The Saeco Talea Giro espresso machine might just be the most convenient unit on the market.

Style

Although this automated unit is a bit bulky and a bit of a counter hog, it is still a beautiful shape and the grey, silver and black color scheme easily fits in with any décor you may have. The Saeco Talea Giro espresso machine features duel pouring channels so that you can make two drinks at once. The cup stand is elegant and gently curved, which only adds to the overall look. Overall, this model will be a welcome addition to any kitchen.

Value

Any unit that features the full level of automation is often far more expensive than this particular unit, so that fact alone makes this a great value. Even among other mid-range automated machines, you will usually save a few hundred dollars by picking this one over the competition. Saeco Talea Giro espresso machines have the reputation for lasting longer than most of their competitors, so you also add value to your purchase that way, as well. You do have to be a pretty religious coffee drinker to get enough usage out of this model by yourself, but if you are brewing drinks for your family and friends, as well, than this is a great model to buy.

What People Are Saying

Reviews for this model are mixed, with some people citing a poor performance while others rave about the ease of use and the ability for quick clean up. Where does the truth lie? It is unclear, you could have 100 people testing a product and you are going to have a few bugs mixed in with the units that work perfectly. An espresso maker is a complex machine, especially when fully automated. Overall, this company has an excellent reputation and it is unlikely that they would risk their reputation with a lemon.

Overall

The mid priced market for automated cappuccino machines is crowded, but the beauty, functionality and reputation that this model has is enough for many people to trust this brand over any other. Even though this brand brags about its one-touch system, make sure you read all of the directions before starting out. Otherwise, you won’t get the full experience here. If you are one of the millions of people around the world that are searching for a machine that takes coffee and raises it to an art form, this is the machine you have been looking for.

Features

As beautiful as this item is, it all really comes down to how delicious the shots are it can brew. There are several interesting features here, including a pressurized portafilter that waits until the proper pressure from the water has built up so that your crema is frothy and perfect. The La Pavoni Pisa espresso machine also offers full compatibility for those looking to use coffee pods instead of loose grounds. This helps to keep messes to a minimum. This model also features a brass boiler for a clean, refreshing taste as well as a sight glass so you always know when you are low on water.

Convenience/Usability

For those looking for an easy cup of coffee in the morning, make sure you check out the Cappuccino Automatic setting. This setting will not only draw the milk you need out of the container you are using but it froths it perfectly for you and deposits it right into your cup with no fuss and no muss. It is also an incredibly quiet machine that lets you brew as many shots as you need without waking up everyone in the house. The La Pavoni Pisa espresso machine is the perfect semi-automatic brewer for those looking for a great cup of joe without the usual hassle associated with home brewing.

Style

If there is one thing that this model has in spades, it is style. The triple chrome plated design was made to stand up over the years and provide a beautiful addition to any kitchen. Very few, if any, kitchen appliances can honestly say they were designed by a highly respected artist, but this one can. If you don’t already own a machine, you are likely going to buy one, so why not go with one that doubles as a genuine conversation piece.

Value

Overall, La Pavoni Pisa espresso machines have to be considered a solid value. They offer a high degree of automated functionality and reliability for the price. You won’t find any completely automatic machines that make a drinkable shot in this price range, so when you consider how much automation you get for the price, you really can’t go wrong here. This brand is known around the world for designing and constructing machines that are not only beautiful, but durable, as well. Dollar for dollar, you can’t do much better than this model if you are a serious coffee drinker.

What People Are Saying

The overall opinion on this product is overwhelmingly positive. People point to the incredible ease of use found with this model and how quiet it is. The automatic frothing feature also scores high marks since that is the one part of making coffee that most people dislike. Of course, the design and look of this machine scores high marks, as well. The chrome look is very in right now and with a quick polish every day, people say that their machine shines like a diamond.

Conclusion

Advanced automation can be viewed in two ways: it can be heralded as an advancement that makes everyone’s lives easier or it can be seen as a way of removing character and that “personal touch.” For those folks who want a quick, delicious coffee with very little in the way of hassle, this is the brewer for you. For those looking to improvise and create their own perfect little cup of coffee, you may want a different model. For those folks in between, this semi-automated machine might just be exactly what you are looking for. No matter which side you fall on, this model will provide many happy coffee memories for years to come.
