(Lakewood, CO) - See all my reviews This review is from: Cuisinart EM-100 1000-Watt 15-Bar Espresso Maker, Stainless Steel (Kitchen) I purchased this machine at a Kohl's for roughly $220. I think it's of an exceptional quality for the price.Positives: #1 Well built (it's actually quite heavy) #2 easy to use, filters allow for a single or double shot to be made - also comes with a pod filter but I've never used it #3 large water reservoir that has allowed me to make 4 or 5 espressos and steam milk too #4 comes with a DVD that teaches you how to use it (much easier than reading the booklet) - this is especially helpeful if you're new at making your own drinks #5 easy to clean #6 has a warming plate on top (good if you need to make more than one double shot cups or two single shot cups #7 espresso has a good taste (although I think this has as much to do with the quality of the coffee you're using) The machine actually does produce a good amount of crema for the price you pay #8 Stainless steel frothing picture is just the right size for one latte or two cappucinos...

So far it has been great! It seems that there used to be only basic espresso makers or extremely expensive ones on the market, with nothing in between. But the Cuisinart satisfies the coffee connoisseur on a budget by making truly wonderful espresso and more.One of my frustrations with our last model was the "perfect froth" tip, which was disastrous to say the least. I just need a basic steam wand and I can take it from there, and the Cuisinart fits the bill - it steamed and frothed my milk easily and quickly. Just be careful to use less milk than you might think, because the volume doubles in no time. I'll probably switch to a larger pitcher than the one that comes with the Cuisinart, though it's fine to start out. A couple tips to get started: the instructions say the heating light should come on right away, but it didn't for me...

In fact, I freely admit to being a coffee addict. And before I say anything else, let me say that this machine makes great coffee. With the right beans and a bit of practice, you can beat the taste of any coffee shop with this.That said, I am glad, I still have my french press, because sometimes this machine decides to be difficult. It usually starts if you tamp your coffee too hard. The coffee maker is then unable to pass water through and ceases up completely. Make sure you watch what you are doing, so you can stop it from trying if necessary. Now, the real problem with this is, that you will have a very hard time removing the basket, as long as there is still pressure inside. It takes somewhere between 5-10 minutes at least, before the pressure has gone down enough, that you can pry the basket off (watch for exploding coffeegrounds, if you didn't wait long enough). To make matters worse, the machine seems to have a hard time recovering... Read more |
