bosch barino 5 out of 5 stars.
13 of 18 people found this review helpful.

i actually have the bosch water heater and it's what i used when i would prepare coffee by french press. my coffee habits changed when my sister got me the bosch espresso machine! now, i can officially claim to be a true java junkie! no more trips to starbucks because i can make way better coffe than they could thanks to this modern convenience! the free illy sample was nice too, though i've always used illy for my coffee. it's easy to operate and clean up is a breeze! the only disappointment was, when i looked at the bottom, it said it was made in mexico! gwah! i thought bosch was german?!

Fun Machine 4 out of 5 stars.
2 of 4 people found this review helpful.

Although the box arrived in good condition and the machine was well-packed inside, the machine arrived broken. Makes me wonder when/where it was dropped! The front plate and knob were broken off. Since this affected the aesthetics only, we just glued it back on.

When my husband began to make our first lattes, the machine began to smoke. I dreaded the thought of having to pack it back up and go through the return process. How disappointed I was, especially since it was a Christmas gift!

Thank goodness my husband is good at fixing things! He removed the back cover to take a look at the insides, and low and behold, a couple of wires were not connected. Evidently, they became disconnected at the same time the front plate and knob were broken off. So he connected the wires and it has worked fine ever since Christmas.

For the price, it's a little disappointing to have to rewire and glue it back together. But it sure does look cute on the counter, and the latte's are exceptional!

The Solis SL90 stands out as a stellar performer in the crowded world of home espresso machines. The Solis SL90 (and little brother SL70) is designed for the espresso purist. What is an espresso purist? Simply put, it is a person who wants a machine that can heat the water at the perfect temperatures, apply enough pressure on the water to force it through the grinds in the portafilter, has a portafilter that can handle the pressure well and maintain the heat of the shot, and lets the user control all the other variables. Where the SL 70 is the purist machine for today, the Solis Crema SL 90 is the purist machine for tomorrow. It has all the excellent features of the SL 70, and the added benefit of digital controls, a computer that controls shot volumes and water temperatures, and other simplified operations. The SL 90 has all the features you would want in a traditional espresso machine. A huge 3.2 quart (3 liter) reservoir. A high performance pump that gives you up to 19 bars of pressure (280 psi). A heavy brass boiler ensures optimum brewing temperature. A solid brass portafilter that helps retain the heat of your shot through the brewing process. A steam nozzle that swivels and accomodates most cup and frothing pitcher sizes. An area on the top of the machine to heat your cups. The SL 90 features all of this and much more. Solis adds other niceties to the SL 90. Convenience items like a portafilter that can also take espresso pods (with a special insert, included). A drip tray that raises and lowers depending on your cup size. There's also a built in tamper that fits the filter inserts perfectly, eliminating the need for you to buy a third party tamper. Last but certainly not least, the SL 90 features a very modern yet elegant design and a metal housing completes the package. But the SL 90 doesn't stop there. Inside the machine are digital controls and a computer that accurately controls the water volume of your shots. Choose from twelve preset water vo

Excellent Coffee but a Back Door For Hackers (yes I'm serious) 1 out of 5 stars.
1 of 5 people found this review helpful.

This is an attractive and very functional espresso machine with an impressive amount of settings to ensure you get the kind of drink you want out of it. Granted though, it is about $1000 more than other machines that will offer most of the same features and produce similar quality espresso. The only real difference between this model and cheaper models with similar features and quality is the chrome finish and the internet connectivity feature. I have used this machine before, unlike some of the other 1-star reviews. I do like it as an espresso machine I must admit. How can I give it 1-star then? That's because it's an open invitation to identity thieves and hackers.

While an espresso machine that can request maintenance on its own sounds pretty neat, this is actually the source of the 1-star rating I've given it. The internet connectivity feature (which requires software to be installed on a PC on your home network) allows remote hackers to alter settings on your coffee maker. They could change the temperature, flow rates, etc. possibly to the point of damaging the machine. They can also gain remote control of the PC you installed the software on. While this sounds like a fun source of pranks for the hacker, it makes for an over-priced coffee maker that's sounding more and more like a dangerous house-guest.

Leave this Trojan horse outside the city gates and get a more reasonably priced model. It does what it does well, but sadly that includes letting hackers into your kitchen. Consider the same brand's less feature-laden versions for example.

the product was not durable and had to be repaired 2 times in 18 months...1 time was not under warrenty.

I don't get it 5 out of 5 stars.
1 of 1 people found this review helpful.

I've had my machine for about 5 years now and I'm still getting great espresso. My Briel gets heavy use, but the only thing I've had to replace is the brew screen (and that was $5). My guess is some people don't know what they are doing. Here's a few pointers:

1. Don't leave the basket mounted after you brew.
2. Keep your steam wand clean. Clean it each time you use it!
3. After steaming milk, if you want to brew another batch, turn off the steam button and dispense some water until the temperature light turns off. It's important because if you don't do this, you'll get burnt espresso from your water being to hot.
4. Keep your machine clean. Run a few batches of vinegar/water every once in a while to get rid of any mineral build up.
5. Spend the money on a conical grinder. You won't get consistent espresso if you're using a $20 coffee grinder.

The pump has a 25 year warranty (not that I've needed it). Spend some time on the Internet if you don't know what you're doing.
