My husband purchased the Capresso mini S-4 espresso/cappuccino machine for me as a gift. I am delighted with this product! I use it every day and threw out my regular drip coffee maker as the coffee this product makes is far superior.
I recommend that first time espresso / cappuccino machine users pay close attention to the directions because although the machine is easy to use and clean, you will get much better results if you read the directions! For safety's sake, please ensure you pay attention to the manual section about the boiler. You could seriously burn yourself if you open the top of the espresso maker without letting all of the steam out. There is tremendous steam pressure inside the machine when it is operating.
This mini espresso maker produces wonderful results and I have been extremely pleased with this product.
I am especially impressed with the foaming / steaming arm - it makes the perfect "mousse" type foam for perfect cappuccinos. The machine certainly has enough "oomph!" and steam pressure - I am impressed.
I am very, very happy with the product and I have said "thank you" to my husband many times since receiving this gift!
A flavorful and aromatic espresso that I recommend with this machine is Cafe Bustelo. Cuban coffee is awesome! It's also not very expensive, tastes great and is a good value. I recommend Horizon Organic 2% milk as it emulsifies well and creates impressive "crema" or mousse for cappuccinos. It also tastes great and has an awesome mouthfeel. Very rich and makes beautiful lattes and cappuccinos! I also sprinkle organic cinnamon powder on top of my cappuccinos before serving. Smells and tastes wonderful!
Editorial Review:
Capresso Mini-S Espresso and Cappuccino Machine - You can say all you want about espresso makers but, after all the debating, the issue is what you need to invest in order to get yummy espresso or espresso-based beverage. Capresso Mini-S wins the argument - it's affordable, fast, and simple to operate. It's as easy as making a cup of regular coffee but it's tastier, richer, and more robust. This economical Espresso maker uses steam pressure instead of a pump mechanism to create delicious espresso. It's a fast method that's just perfect for a morning wake-up or after-dinner drink. Reliable mechanism for perfect results, over and over Includes easy-to-follow instructional video
