not for espresso 1 out of 5 stars.
0 of 0 people found this review helpful.

This is actually not even a coffee grinder. It's a device used to explore the effects of static on ground coffee particles. It's explosive and fun!

Examine the clear plastic bin walls to view magnetic field patterns in coffee. Touch the plastic in the wrong place or try to remove ground coffee to discover really fun explosion of coffee powder! The curved trajectory of the particles reminds me of illustrations of magnetic fields - or thousands of tiny fleas jumping onto your hand and wrist en masse.

If you have no choice and must make espresso with this toy, just
1. grind it two clicks away from finest setting
2. run it through again*, but this time on the finest setting
3. rationalize liberally

*Carefully shake the grinder with a rocking motion, or else ground coffee will not run through.

Editorial Review:

The coffee grinder for those who appreciate the taste of exquisite coffee. With its 17 grinder positions, this grinder allows you to grind coffee beans from very fine to coarse. Makes from 2-12 cups, Model #GVX1-14. One year limited warranty.

The 'classic' isn't always the best. 2 out of 5 stars.
1 of 3 people found this review helpful.

Stovetop, 'moka'-style espresso is great. The bialetti is the 'classic' in this department. So, what's not to love? Well, the Bialetti is made cheaply, of aluminum and soft plastic. I've had several of these, and always end up burning them, melting the handle, or wrecking them in the dishwasher.

So, what's the alternative? Well, stainless steel works great here. There are other manufacturers that build stainless stovetop espresso makers that are substantially more durable, dishwasher-friendly, and make the same great 'moka'. I'm a fan of the Vev Vigano, but I'm willing to bet there are lots of other brands that are perfectly good choices.

Editorial Review:

With all the expensive espresso makers sold around the world, native Italians prefer espresso from stovetop espresso makers and more Italians use Bialetti for their stovetop Italian coffee. For an excellent cup of Italian coffee, the classic eight-side household coffeepot is considered a true Italian tradition. The Moka Espress boasts a lot of records and, as such, is the most copied coffee-maker! With sturdy aluminum construction, the Moka Express is a product that actually improves with constant use. The unit is extremely simple to use. Just fill the lower chamber with water and the filter with ground espresso coffee. Place the pot on the stove and heat until the water boils. As it does, the liquid espresso moves to the upper chamber of the pot, ready to be poured into an awaiting espresso cup. After that, all you need to do is enjoy the delicious nectar of coffee.

Espresso blend Senseo 3 out of 5 stars.
1 of 1 people found this review helpful.

On a vist to Europe last year I fell in love with D. E. "Extra Dark" coffee pods. Very sad to find that they are not available in the US. I chose "Espresso" as the next strongest blend....that is....until I found the new "Breakfast Blend". I am hoping that Amazon.com offers this blend and I am on my way to find out right now!

Best Coffee Ever 5 out of 5 stars.

Senseo Espresso Coffee Pods 4 out of 5 stars.
0 of 0 people found this review helpful.

The Senseo Espresso Pods are good, we have the espresso pod holder for them and it seems to work well. I gonna give 4 instead of 5 stars because, I'd like it a little stronger. But I will certainly keep ordering them from Amazon, they have great deal with the subscription service and I can't find them locally.

This filter is great! 4 out of 5 stars.
0 of 0 people found this review helpful.

I usually need to replace my filter around every two years, and it would probably last longer if I wasn't such a klutz washing it. Not bad for daily use!

Useless 2 out of 5 stars.
0 of 0 people found this review helpful.

This filter is useless. I am extremely happy with the Krups KM7000 coffee maker now that I figured out what the culprit was (this filter). The filter does a terrible job of filtering out what I will call "coffee-mud". I was always getting a thick residue in the bottom of the pot and unless I made extra and carefully poured, I'd end up with this gunk in my cup. I still use the filter, but I use it with a traditional paper filter. Not sure if there is a need for this filter at all since I'm using a paper filter, but I like to think I'm getting some use for my $10.

Editorial Review:

Why use a permanent filter? For one thing you won't experience that painful moment of truth when you realize you have to face the day without a java fix because you forgot to put paper filters on your grocery list. For another stainless steel filters extract the most flavor from your coffee. They are environmentally friendly and they save you money in the long run. There now, all that should have you convinced!

great coffee pot 5 out of 5 stars.
0 of 0 people found this review helpful.

always bought Farerware pots but when the second one in 5 years died I decided they weren't the work horses they once were. Read the Presto reviews and gave it a try. This percolator makes 2 full pots every day and each cup is as hot and tasty as the first. Had it for about 3-4 months now and I have zero complaints. My coffe is ready every bit as fast as it was with Farberware, when we linger over our coffee I don't have to worry about the pot shutting down and it cleans up great. Good solid steel, not cheaply made.

Great coffee 4 out of 5 stars.

This is a great percolator. It takes longer to perk than my older Farberware but I'm hoping it LASTS longer. It's nice and streamlined and easy to clean. I like it lots!

Editorial Review:

Delicious coffee is made in no time with the Presto Stainless Steel Coffeemaker. You can run around the party and up to 12 cups of piping hot coffee will still be brewing. Features of this stainless steel, 800-watt percolator include a signal light when coffee is finished brewing, an easy-pour spout, steel filter basket and perk tube. Hand wash. Imported. 12-3/4H".

Heats Water Quickly, but... 4 out of 5 stars.
1 of 1 people found this review helpful.

I am a tea junkie, and this pot is invaluable at work. We can heat many cups of water quickly, instead of microwaving them. It is also easy to clean, lightweight, and economical.

However, if I could, I would change two things about this product.
1) It has no on-off switch. You have to unplug it to turn it off. I'm afraid that one day I will forget and burn the office down.
2) Something is wrong with shape of the spout, I don't know what it is. When the water is boiling, and you pour it out, it spills all down the side of the pot and makes a mess. I know that molecular attraction causes cohesion whenever you pour water out of anything, but this is extreme, and does not occur when you pour cold water out of this pot. I have no idea how to fix it, I just know it is annoying.

Rival hot Pot Express 4 out of 5 stars.

my wife was looking for a small pot to heat her water for tea and other things,
I looked the Rival pot up on Amazon saw the Rival pot said this is the one.
The Rival pot has worked out very well.
It should have an off position,as with no fault socket ,it has a temdency to trip the socket breaker when the pot plug is plugged in!

Excellent espresso and foaming; great price 5 out of 5 stars.
0 of 0 people found this review helpful.

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

200+ cappuccinos and no clogs 5 out of 5 stars.
3 of 3 people found this review helpful.

Because of the bad reviews about clogging, I passed over this machine and bought a Starbucks Sirena, which got raves (I wish people would hold off on writing reviews until they've used it many times). Anyway, the Sirena was trouble from day one and completely died at 6 months. I then bought the Breville after getting assurance that I could return it if it clogged, but it has been a fantastic machine. I've had a few espresso machines by now, and this is really the best designed one I've had. It works like a charm and has never clogged on me. (I use coffee that is ground for espresso -- even a fine ground Illy works great.) The coffee is delicious, has a nice crema, and the frothing wand works wonderfully. The water tank is easy to access and clean, it comes w/ a cool little tool to unclog the frothing wand if necessary, and a little hidden storage compartment. I love that I don't have to hold the pitcher to froth milk. It's a very attractive and well-designed machine, and most importantly it's easy to use and clean.
