I will review some of the best latte machines. Another De’Longhi creation is the 15 Bar Pump Espresso and Cappuccino Maker. It is a bestseller in the field of semi-automatic espresso machines. What sets De’Longhi’s model EC155 apart is its 15 bar pressure pump. This means optimal brewing pressure is used to make your espresso. It comes with a small built-in tamper and a frothing wand. This model is suitable for those who want to experiment on getting an espresso machine, but are not serious or knowledgeable enough to get a more expensive automatic machine.
DeLonghi ESAM3300 Magnifica Super-Automatic Espresso/Coffee Machine : Even though one user admits, “This is by far the most expensive coffee/espresso/cappuccino machine I have bought,” they “don’t regret it for a single moment.” Like many, this person believes the ease of this machine makes it worth the price. “The machine is super-easy to operate — no grinding, filling espresso cup or filter, operating messy frothing nozzles, etc. All I need to do is pouring coffee beans, selecting flavors/strengths, filling water tank, and pushing the desired buttons.” The built-in grinder is mentioned in dozens of reviews as a standout. “I worked in so many coffee shops over the years and always wanted a nice machine at home,” one reviewer writes. “The problem was I didn’t want to spend $400 on a good burr grinder. This amazing machine comes with one inside the machine!” Another says the “best part is it’s super-customizable, and all you have to do is drop fresh beans in and it does the rest.” Another happy user appreciates having “no problem grinding any type of bean”: “We use very oily, dark-roast beans which often cause problems with grinders, but with the Magnifica it’s been a minor issue.”
Best Large Capacity: Capresso Perk 12-Cup Percolator: This 12-cup coffee maker is great for families who want more than just a cup or two of coffee, or for serving a cup after a dinner party, but it can also brew as little as 4 cups when you don’t need a full pot. It’s made from stainless steel and has an automatic keep-warm function, so you can get the pot set up before dinner and it will wait until guests are ready for their after-dinner brew. If you need a second round of coffee, this brews a pot in less than a minute. This makes it easy to set up, since there are markings inside for coffee and water amounts, so you don’t need to measure. When it’s time to serve, the cord is detachable, so it won’t get in the way, and the spout is designed to be drip free. This should be hand washed.
The Essenza Mini is small and mighty, capable of making the same ristrettos, espressos, and lungos as any other Nespresso machine in its line. Its slim, attractive frame can fit in even the smallest kitchen, and its simplicity makes it the easiest Nespresso machine to use and clean. Don’t be bamboozled by the wide array of machines that make you pay hundreds of dollars more for features that won’t make your coffee taste any better, such as Bluetooth technology or a latte art wand. The Essenza Mini offers the most bang for a still-sizable buck. Interested to buy affordable espresso machines? See more details on percolator coffee maker.
