nice machine, but... 3 out of 5 stars.
2 of 2 people found this review helpful.

Nice design, well-made, easy to clean, makes mediocre moka (not real espresso) quickly, and is very quiet. Not enough pressure to produce any "crema", and doesn't heat the water sufficiently. Here is what I found that helps a bit:

(1) grind the coffee extremely fine, tamp and re-tamp hard.

(2) pre-heat the water in a "HotPot" or something similar -- it helps a great deal to make better moka.

Not quite as good as my old "Maxim" espresso-maker, but a lot faster and quieter.

Good product for the money 4 out of 5 stars.

This product received a top review from good housekeeping so I felt safe purchasing it. It produces fairly decent quality espresso for my purpose of making cafe mochas. It is better than mediocre coffee shop brew, but not as good as my favorite places. It has more than paid for itself in three weeks of use. If it lasts it will be a very good purchase.

Editorial Review:

Savor the delicious taste of espresso for an after-dinner delight or as a delicious companion to any dessert with this Kalorik espresso maker. It features 3-1/2 bar boiler pressure for outstanding espresso with every brew. For added enjoyment, the swivel jet frother tops cappuccino, latte and more with a frothy finish, just like what's served at your favorite coffeehouse.

I have been brewing coffee and cappuccinos for 12 years on the cheap. Have gone through numerous Mr. Coffee Cappuccino Makers, (One that even BLEW OFF ITS High Pressure Lid)!

This is Fast, Easy to Use, Easy to Clean....

AND CHEAP..

Mine made a loud POPPING SOUND...
Then quit working....after 4 months...

The one i bought for my daughter lasted 2 months...not it does not turn off.....

Additionally there is a chemical plastic smell from the water tank holder..that NEVER GOES AWAY...

I have no luck with these under $100. machines..

....DO NOT BUY...

Wait.... what I meant to say was ...

....DO NOT BUY....

Dead cold element makes no coffee. 1 out of 5 stars.
3 of 3 people found this review helpful.

This machine looks good and made good coffee for about a year. The dripstop mechanism was very tempermental and did not always work well, causing big messes on the counter if we did not watch it carefully. However, that will no longer be a problem as the heating element died today. I have older coffee makers that still work after 20 years. This was a BIG disappointment.

FITS THE BUDGET! GR8 maker for the price 4 out of 5 stars.
3 of 3 people found this review helpful.

I made 12 pots of coffee before writing this review, I want to tell you this is definately worth the price though the 69.00 original price was either a very long time ago or just inflated

Makes a really nice HOT cup I have owned many pots never seem to have luck they either leak all over or the coffee never is hot this does not leak at all and has been good to me so far!

I can see how a couple reviewers may think its junky it IS made of all plastic and has nothing digtial on it at all but I also owned 2 BUNN makers that did not do as well as this little guy plus a few that had all the bells and wistles and did not do 1/2 as well as this one

If you get this (You will be happy you remembered this) The coffee filter is number 4 cone and can be tricky if you put it in the wrong way it will get stuck and you will swear it broke on you or you got a defect I had this problem the first 2 pots then realized the black circle has to be pointing in front of you directly. You can easily forget and put it in the wrong way buy a butter knife will pop the sides right out once you realize that its in the right direction you will not have any porblems.
Its really a nice robust cup and the best trait is the heat I love the fact it makes hot coffee!

I paid 17.00 for it and it has been worth every dime do not expect a high end digital alarm or time button you will be dissapointed but if your looking for a maker and a really good fair priced one spring for it you will not be sorry!

Worst coffee maker I had 1 out of 5 stars.
5 of 5 people found this review helpful.

It is really the worst coffee maker I had. It is too slow, the automatic stopper always breakes and the coffee pot is useless, because you can not pour in a cup without making a mess

Works fine for me, no idea why others have had problems. 5 out of 5 stars.
3 of 3 people found this review helpful.

I've read the other reviews and can only say:

1) If you lift the lid while using the carafe to fill the reservior, you won't spill any water on the counter.

2) If you slide the carafe out of the machine slightly and wait a few seconds for the "brew pause" valve to
close and drip a few times, you won't drip coffee onto the hotplate surface.

3) If you pour slowly you won't spill coffee all over the countertop.

4) If you use paper melita filters in the basket, you will not only stop fine grinds from clogging the filter
and causing a backup, but you'll improve the taste.

5) It has no automatic shutoff because it is meant to keep the coffee hot after brewing. The hotplate has a
thermal switch that cycles on and off to keep the coffee hot but not burn it. This is what makes a click every
few minutes after brewing is completed. There is also a thermal safety fuse that would blow if the element ever
really overheated. Nothing intrinsically unsafe about this design.

My wife uses our every day and has had no problems with it.

Perfect coffee every time 5 out of 5 stars.
8 of 9 people found this review helpful.

I was hunting for a good coffee maker to complement my Bodum french press, since I do not enjoy pressing a pot (And cleaning it up) in the morning. I can say the Technivorm was definitely the right answer! The coffee is as good if not better than the press pot (No grounds in the bottom of the cup) and much easier to clean (No grounds in the bottom of the pot!)

This coffee maker does exactly one thing: Make a great cup of coffee. It brews pretty quickly and is even fun to watch percolate. I also looked at the thermal carafe version of this maker, however it appears there are gripes with the lip of the thermal carafe (A too wide pour) and the topper design, so I decided basic glass was my friend and so far it absolutely has been! The one spill I had was entirely my fault, otherwise it fills the cup with no dripping.

I would definitely recommend this coffeemaker to friends who have the money for it and the desire to buy one coffeemaker for life. It does NOT disappoint!

Very Happy With It 5 out of 5 stars.
39 of 41 people found this review helpful.

I almost always look at Amazon reviews before I buy anything these days. Shopping for an espresso maker with this method was extremely frustrating because the reviews for most machines are all over the map. The same machine will be loved by some, hated by others. This seems to be because people are looking for different things. The would-be barristas (why would anyone dream of working at Starbucks?) want all the bells and whistle and others just want the basics. For me, this machine does a pretty good job of covering both worlds. I have had it about a month and use it many times each day and have had no problems. I mostly use it for espresso using freshly ground beans and it works well for that. I have also used it with pods a couple of times and that seems to work well also. I think the Cappucinator attachment is pretty cool. Basically, you pour some cold milk in a cup, stick a little plastic hose from the Nina's Cappucinator attachment in to the cup, place another cup under the Cappucinator and turn it on and out comes steamed milk with froth. I get a nice froth with 2%, not so much with skim. One other reviewer notes that you need to prime the pump for making espresso after each of the steam wand and/or cappucinator. This is true but it is a simple and quick process and doesn't bother me. Overall, I'm very happy with this machine.

Editorial Review:

Saeco takes a fresh twist on a traditional espresso machine. With its new shape and sophisticated yet easy to use controls the Nina Bar let’s anyone open an espresso bar in their home. The Nina Bar includes a removable 50 oz water tank as well as a removable drip tray for easy cleaning. The pressurized portafilter along with the Pannarello and bonus Cappuccinatore allowing for perfect espresso shots and great froth every time. The pre-programmed buttons for a single or a double shot take the guess work out of getting the right extraction and the easy-to-use control panel shows you when the machine is “ready to brew” and “ready to steam”. Weighing just 9 pounds and using 120V/1050 Watts for power. The Nina Bar is 11 inches wide, 12 inches deep and 15.25 inches tall.

A good espresso on this machine 4 out of 5 stars.
1 of 1 people found this review helpful.

This is a review about the quality of the espresso the machine makes, and not about
the short or long term reliability of the machine, since I have only had it for about a month.

I bought coffee beans from a starbuck coffee shop and asked the barista to grind the beans for an espresso maker. Decided not to buy a grinder (since reviews on grinders seem to indicate nothing but trouble). The first results I got were disappointing. No matter how well I packed the 2 shot coffee filter, or how much coffee I packed into it, the pressure on the indicator dial never reached even the beginning of the "optimum" range.

Then I decide to ask the barista if they had a finer espresso grind. They said their finest was # "2". With that grind, I filled the 2 shot filter with coffee to the top of the filter, and packed the grinds as hard as I could. Started the machine. The needle started to rise, reached the optimum range, went all the way up the optimum range and beyond it before finally stopping when the machine stopped pouring coffee! I also noticed that the amount of coffee poured was somewhat less than 2 shots of coffee. Removing the filter holder from the machine, it was clear that the filter had water, that had not pressed through the coffee, mixed in with the spent grinds.

The next cup of espresso I made, I did not pack the coffee as hard, or fill as high. I left about an 1/8" between the coffee and the filter rim . That did it. After starting up the scale the needle stopped 3/4 up the optimum level scale, and the coffee it made looked like 2 full shots and, when I removed the filter holder the coffee filter was mostly dry! The espresso had a nice layer of crema, added a little Milk, lots of foam...perfect!

What did it for me was 1) the right grind, 2) the right packing pressure, 3) the right amount of coffee.

I hope this helps some fellow home baristas!
