Pasquini Livia 90 Automatic Espresso Machine Review

Recently my La Pavoni broke down after 3 years, so I had to look for another machine. My machine of choice for espresso has always been Cimballi, but I was not impressed with any of their machines, which did not require a water line. After some searching and recommendation from a friend I happened upon the Pasquini Livia 90.

As far as espresso machines go, the Pasquini Livia 90 is the best unit that does not require a water line.The water resevoir holds a very large amount of water and the espresso made with this machine is simply amazing.

A good espresso should have a thick layer of creme on top (goldish brown in color) which will hold the sugar poured in to the coffee afloat for a few seconds.The Pasquini Livia 90 was the first machine I've owned to accomplish the feat.I've owned a $700 Krups Fully Automated Machine, used a $3,000 Fully Automated Machine and owned the La Pavoni fully manual machine.However, the Pasquini was the only machine to provide the perfect creme.

The steam produced by the machine will froth milk for any of the popular espresso drinks and the ability to draw hot water from the unit is also a nice touch.Unlike some machines you can leave the unit on for long periods of time without having to worry about burning out the machine.

Best machine in its class.

Solis Palazzo Fully Automated Espresso & Coffee Center With Rapid Steam Review

For years, have enjoyed the Capresso 121.Clever design, good espresso for the price, good entry level machine.Come Father's Day last, decided to splurge on a big step up.A lot of money and so approached this with considerable trepidation.Has proven to be worth every penny.

After months of heavy use, machine continues to reliably make outstanding espresso with complete control: grind, amount of grounds per cup, size of pour for espresso shot and for crema, program to optionally purge each time turned on, ... Can easily bypass hopper to do a shot from grounds you have prepared yourself: essential for us when entertaining for those who want decaf or for when my wife or I want to try a special roast.

Steams milk effectively and continually.Hot water for tea works fine. Easily kept spotless clean inside and out.

Bit of a coffee nut -- roast my own specialty beans each week.This machine gets the most out of the carefully selected beans and carefully chosen roast levels.When we travel out-of-town for the weekend, I even have been known to sneak the Palazzo in the car knowing my wife will tease me but also knowing that there are very few local coffee shops around our state that take the care necessary to match what we will have at hand in the motel room.

Saeco Talea Giro Fully Automatic Espresso/Coffee Machine Review

I received my coffee maker and loved it for almost a year, until it stopped dripping the coffee.I had followed all the directions for cleaning and servicing the machine.I called the Arabee company from whom I purchased it.

They promptly made arrangement for me to get it back to them, as it was still under warranty.They have now had it for over 4 months and I can't get a proper response from them.I have been told that it took 6 weeks in the queue to get to service, then they needed a part, which may or may not have had to come from Italy.Now they won't even return calls or answer when I call.The next step, I guess is a legal one to get a new coffee maker or some form of recovery.

Loved the coffee maker while I had it.

Hamilton Beach Espresso Maker Review

An inexpensive way to have coffeehouse-quality beverages at home. Unit is largely plastic, so it may not last forever like the $300+ models, but with proper care should last for years. Frother is easy to use, loud, and effective-just like the sound you hear at every corner coffee bar. Makes one or two cups at a time, and makes them fast and consistently good. Will accept ground espresso, or the individual 1-cup "pods". Comes with an instructional DVD that is 10 minutes well spent. Watched it once, and had my first cinnamon cappucino 10 minutes later! Really produces terrific quality, and makes this an excellent value. One warning: For some reason, this unit requires a manual shut-off to stop the brewing. So, you need to watch the output and hit a button when you think the espresso is as you like it-so no walking away during brewing!

DeLonghi DCM485 10-Cup Thermal Carafe and Coffeemaker, Brushed Stainless Steel Review

Are you tired of parts made of plastic and not real metal? This coffee maker is made of genuine brushed stainless.If the part on this machine looks like metal, it is metal.The overall look and style is very European, even the buttons and display are good quality and simple to use and understand.The carafe is stainless inside and out, and keeps the coffee hot for at least 4 hours.The water resevoir lifts out for easily filling from the tap, so you don't have to fill the carafe first and pour it into the machine.The resavoir has graduated markings.Also, the filter holder comes out for easy cleaning.The only quirk I found is that, as with other themal carafes, you have to pour slowly to keep from dripping.It also helps to read the manual that explains how far to unscrew the top before pouring to avoid drips.

DeLonghi DCF210TTC Complete Frontal Access 10-Cup Drip Coffeemaker with Thermal Carafe Review

Here is a well-made intelligently-designed coffee maker that works well, has some outstanding features, but has some significant differences from common automatic drip machines. Brewing into a thermal carafe with no burner or warming plate below the carafe means the coffee will not get the bitter taste of being kept hot by continuing to cook it. But, it also will probably not be quite as hot as some people would find ideal. It's a compromise and involves personal preference. For me, the coffee is plenty hot and remains at a pleasant drinking temperature for well over an hour.

The way the carafe and its lid have to be designed to keep the steam from escaping and thus keep the coffee warm means it will pour into your cup a bit more slowly than from an ordinary carafe. To me, that's not a big deal.

Some have reported not getting the carafe properly seated, thus allowing the freshly brewed coffee to spill all over the place. I have trouble imagining how that could happen and even more trouble imagining how anyone could let it happen more than once. I would expect any rational person, after having such a mess to clean up once, would make certain to seat the carafe correctly in the future. It's not rocket science.

There have been some comments by others that rating this as a 10-cup coffee maker is misleading. All manufacturers rate coffee maker capacity in terms of 5-ounce cups, demi tasse cups, if you will. I ordinarily use a 10-ounce mug. So being aware of this, I govern myself accordingly. No big deal, and nothing different from any other manufacturer. Frankly, I don't know of any normal person who actually uses demi tasse cups any more. That was a standard serving 100 years ago, but not today.

The instructions provided by DeLonghi are somewhat lacking and it doesn't help that they combine the instructions for several different models with different features into a single booklet, printed in several languages. Not as helpful as it could be. That said, most of the operation is fairly intuitive. It is a little bizarre that the clock shows the hour from midnight to 10:00 a.m. as "0." I guess that's a European standard, but find it strange on a clock that displays a.m. and p.m. rather than a 24-hour clock. That's just a little wierd to me, but does not diminish my enjoyment of this coffee maker.

Operation is reasonably easy and the quality of the brewed coffee is outstanding. I am well satisfied and do recommend this machine.

Brew up to 10 cups (50 ounces) of great-tasting coffee with this easy-to-use drip coffeemaker. Designed with the user in mind, the appliance offers complete frontal access to the water tank and ground-coffee filter for easy filling and cleanup. Without having to move the unit, simply open the door using the handle, pour water in the channel, and put grounds in the coffee filter. The unit also provides a 24-hour programmable digital timer with automatic shut-off, which makes it possible to have coffee ready and waiting first thing in the morning or after dinner to serve with dessert.

DeLonghi DCF212T Drip Coffeemaker with Convenient Front Access Review

When my $100 coffee maker quit, I researched coffee makers and found this model from DeLonghi I hadn't heard of before.The design of this model sets a new standard for on-the-counter coffee makers.It is incredible to be able to put the filter, coffee, AND WATER in the maker without moving the machine.The caraffe doesn't drip when pouring into the swing out arm (or into the cup later) so there's no messy drips to wipe up at any time.
The digital clock isn't the quickest to set since you have to hold a button in as it changes in minutes only, but hopefully that won't need set often.
The "aroma" button really works! There actually is a difference in the brewing aroma with it on.
Most importantly, the end product was a great cup of coffee! I'm thrilled with the coffee maker and haven't found a single negative aspect yet, including the price. I HIGHLY recommend this model.Kudos Delonghi, you really outdid yourself here. Amazon's shipping was simple and fast. The whole purchasing experience was exceptional.A+++++
