Lello 1375 Ariete Cafe Prestige Coffee Maker

If you are looking for an excellent machine for the money, the Lello 1375 Cremissimo Ariete Espresso/Cappuccino Maker is the one to buy.  Whether you enjoy a bold espresso, a rich cappuccino, or a smooth latte, this machine delivers.

The machine is solidly built of stainless steel, upgrading its appearance to that of a much more expensive machine.  The 950-watt heater warms up quickly, and you can use the steam feature to froth and pull a shot without waiting.  The warming plate on the top of the Lello Cremissimo allows your cups to be nicely heated by the time you are ready to pour.  In addition, a pop-up float near the back lets you know when the drip plate needs to be emptied, saving you the hassle of always checking under the plate.

As for disadvantages, they are few are far between. Some users do not like the “Thermocream” design that makes a “cream like” cream on top of every cup, since it hides whether or not you are brewing your espresso properly.  Others have had some issues with the Portafilter leaking.  However, as a whole, this machine satisfies even the pickiest of coffee and espresso drinkers.

Features:  950-watt espresso/cappuccino machine; ThermoBlock 15-bar pump-driven system creates constant pressure for a richer tasting coffee; removable water reservoir can be refilled anytime; warming area warms up to 9 cups at the same time; one year limited warranty.

Many consumers felt that the Bialetti Mukka Express brews a tasty cappuccino that rivals any coffee shop.  In fact, many people loved the coffee so much that they were disappointed that it only makes two espresso cups at a time.  In three to five minutes, you will have a delicious, smooth coffee with a rich froth, which makes the machine fast enough to brew an espresso on the go.

You do need to use caution when heating the milk, as turning it up to high can cause overheated milk to leak out.  Some consumers also expressed difficulty screwing the lid on tight enough to prevent leaks.  If you are new to using a stove top espresso maker, be sure to read the instructions carefully the first time that you use the machine.  Overfilling the water or milk will cause the pot to overflow and leak.

If you want to enjoy coffee shop quality espresso at home, this machine gives you that great taste speedily with great convenience.
