Krups XP1020 Espresso Machine Most of the higher priced espresso makers use pump driven mechanisms to deliver espressos. If you’re seeking a simple one-cup espresso or cappuccino, the steam-driven espresso machine is more affordable and requires less maintenance. With no pump, it’s more compact. Yet there’s virtually no compromise in flavor and aroma. Sized for use at work or home, the Krups XP1020 may just be that simple little espresso machine you’ve been looking for as an easy alternative to typical American coffee.
Customer Review: Not very Good
I bought one of these used at a garage sale. It was new in the box, still taped, even. I paid $5, which was apparently too much.

DeLonghi ESAM3500.N Esclusivo Magnifica Digital Super-Automatic Espresso/Coffee Machine Capable of preparing espresso, coffee, cappuccino, latte drinks, and more, this super-automatic 1,150-watt machine provides an array of convenient features. Height-adjustable coffee spouts make it easy to brew directly into espresso, demitasse, or 12-ounce cups, and its instant reheat function keeps the machine at an ideal temperature, no matter how long the interval between cups.

The unit’s digital programmable menu settings allow for setting the clock, start time, and one- to three-hour automatic shutoff, as well as adjusting the water hardness and temperature of the coffee. There are also five settings for coffee strength: extra-mild, mild, regular, strong, and extra-strong. Plus, three buttons allow for easily choosing the cup size: ristretto (small), espresso (medium), and large (American coffee). In addition, the espresso machine offers a unique beans-to-brew system that includes an integrated new quieter burr grinder with adjustable fineness settings that automatically grinds coffee beans right before brewing for exceptionally aromatic espresso. The unit also comes equipped with a patented single-touch cappuccino/latte system, which includes a 25-ounce milk container and two detachable lids, one for frothed milk for cappuccino and the other for steamed milk for lattes. Place the cup under the nozzle and press the button for a perfect cappuccino or latte every time. The amounts of frothed/steamed milk and coffee are adjustable, and the entire container is detachable, so it can easily be placed in the refrigerator. A unique automatic cleaning function cleans with the push of a button and dishwasher-safe parts provide quick cleanup.

Customer Review: Made excellent latte but didn’t last
I loved it for the ease of use and my latte was as good as Starbucks. I used lowfat milk with excellent results and lots of foam. I was really sorry when it stoped working exactly one year after purchase. It’s not a cheap equipment so I expected it to last longer.

Saeco 00065 Incanto Rapid Steam SBS Fully Automatic Espresso Machine, Silver The Saeco Brewing System (SBS) makes it easy for anyone to brew coffee precisely to their individual tastes. The SBS feature regulates the amount of water pressure used to brew each cup, which changes the consistency and flavor of the espresso. Turning the dial located on the front of the dispensing head to the right delivers a robust Italian espresso, turning it to the left delivers a milder, American-style cup of coffee. The Incanto RS SBS also features a one-of-a-kind removable brew group. The brew group provides a noticeably more intense flavor with up to 9 grams of coffee per cup. The Saeco brew group is easy to remove and can be cleaned by rinsing under warm water.
With the patented Rapid Steam RS technology it is easier than ever to froth or steam milk. Rapid Steam provides the unique ability to go from brewing to frothing and back to brewing with virtually no waiting time. It comes standard with an Aqua Prima water filter system. This water filter reduces the number of flavor-altering impurities often found in water, making for an improved flavor and full aroma in each cup. Dregs drawer is inside the machine and conveniently accessed from the front after sliding out the drip tray. The indicator lights will tell you when the dregs drawer needs to be emptied Conical Burr Grinder - Unit holds up to 6 ounces of coffee Stainless Steel Heating System Swivel Base Color - Silver Unit Size - 11.5?W x 14.75?H x 15.75?D / Weight - 20 pound
Customer Review: One terrible machine
I got hooked to the lattes at work (company bought us a Capresso espresso machine 3 years ago), and so I wanted to have one at home too so that I and my daughter can enjoy the lattes at home too). So, I researched lot of sites on internet, especially the Amazon, read the glowing reviews about the Saeco Incanto machine and decided to get that one. I researched a little more and found that Digital Kitchen store in Sammamish, WA was offering a $100 discount and a 2 year warranty, and placed an order with them (May 2007). A few days later, I received the unit from Cafe west distributing in Medford, Oregon.
The machine was a little complicated but I figured out the operation in a few days (the user manual was not very well written). It worked OK for a few months, and then started acting up (steam would not come out continuously, comes out in bursts), had to drain the coffee dredges tray almost every time, and then finally coffee stopped coming out in february ‘08(I was descaling the machine regularly and the descaling light never came on). So I called their repair service called ‘Empire fulfilment’ and they asked me to send the machine. After one month, I got the machine back and it worked OK for about 2 months, and then (July ‘08) the steam started escaping from the steam knob and the knob was getting very hot. After a few more days, the machine completely stopped working, would not even turn on. I called Empire Fulfilment again and they asked me to send the machine which I dutifully did. After about one month, I got the machine back (from the repair statement, I found that it was a major repair, they had to replace several parts including the control board).
This time the machine worked exactly for one month, and now water comes out of the steam wand when it is dispensing coffee. That is making the coffee weak. And after steaming the milk, the steam would not stop after closing the steam knob. The steam keeps coming. I am pretty sure this is going to lead into a major problem again. I sent a e-mail to Empire fulfilment and am waiting for their return authorization so that I can send the machine to them again.

Customer Review: I bought three of these and all three were defective
I just wanted to alert potential Brikka buyers that there may be several batches of defective Brikkas floating around on the market. So far I’ve gone through three of them and all three were defective — very poorly machined, sharp jagged edges, gaskets that don’t fit, loose safety valves, flakes of metal floating in the brewed coffee (not good!), etc. Maybe I’ll try again at some point in the future once the defective batches have disappeared. Hopefully Bialetti’s quality control will improve by then.

Customer Review: Some of the best coffee I’ve ever had!
I just received my Delonghi Magnifica Super Automatic Espresso machine a few days ago. I am already in love with this machine and have brewed some of the best coffee and lattes that I have ever had! I have been using Starbucks Espresso Roast and it is just as good, if not better than the drinks I can get made for me at Starbucks, and so easy!

Customer Review: Good Coffee, not Espresso
I bought this machine to make espresso drinks at home, but instead, I have a very expensive coffee machine that does not make good espresso. The convenience of the machine is wonderful, easy to clean, easy to fill, etc., but since I wanted espresso, I was disappointed. The espresso that it puts out is weak and does not have that espresso bite, but tastes pretty good with hot water added to it to make an Americano. If you want this type of conveinience, this is a good machine, but if you want true espresso, you will have to go with a semi auto and good grinder. Wish I Had!
Customer Review: Gaggia Syncrony Compact Digital
100% (super) automatic at the best price, in a form factor that would fit on my counter, were my requirements. The Gaggia Syncrony Compact Digital was the clear winner. Biggest complaints: Vendor intentionally removes a non-essential item from the package before shipping but does not inform customer of this action; and the Operation Manual is poorly written. Great coffee maker.
