Great Deal DeLonghi BAR32 Retro Pump-Driven 35 ounce Espresso Maker
I had a Breville cafe Roma machine for 4 years and when it gave out I was looking for a quality pump machine but at a great price. Breville uses aluminum in some of the parts and the machine corroded inside the filter. Plus their customer service is awful and while I got the unit at a discount, it was still 0. I purchased this one a few weeks ago and couldn’t be happier. I only use it for espresso as I already have a Nespresso milk frother that is quiet and fantastic. The espresso has a wonderful flavor, the drink comes out fairly hot and has a nice crema. I purchased it with a rebate plus discount and saved ! I use it everyday so the machine will get a lot of use, but based on other reviews, I am confident this one will go the distance. The pressure of the steam is obvious and it’s easy to clean. Tamping the espresso is important and I like the tamper attached to the unit. The profile on the counter is small and the design is, as they say retro (though the unit is mostly plastic). Unless you’re in the market to spend several hundred on a machine I would recommend this to the espresso fan. I use Starbucks espresso ground fine. If you add up how much a daily espresso from Starbucks costs, () this machine will pay for itself in no time and other than it not being searing hot, I give it high marks (for the record the Breville made espresso less hot).
Exceeds Expectations – sc614 –
This machine is great. I honestly didn’t expect it to froth milk as well as it does. It heats up and makes espresso very quickly, and it looks great doing it. It’s a little loud when making the espresso because it vibrates so much, but if you just put a finger on top it dampers the sound. Overall, a win!
great product – dww1234 –
i’m a first time espresso maker and this product has got me hooked! i wasnt looking for something super expensive since i’ve never had a coffee maker before (college student) and when i saw this for 85 on amazon i decided to bite. what really sold me was one of the reviews i read that said something like “it takes about 2 minutes from saying i want coffee to having coffee in your cup” and it really is true. i’m usually in a rush in the morning (who isnt?) so the fact that its so easy and quick..and delicious really makes me happy. i’ve only had it for about a week so i cant say anything about its longevity but i’m really impressed so far!
