The Professional says: perfect espresso / cappuccino pleasure!

I am a trained restaurant manager and work in a more than busy large restaurant in Berlin-Mitte on Gendarmenmarkt. I'm the bartender there, and put hundreds of daily (e) Kaffee`s, espressos, cappuccinos and forth, so know what I'm talking about here.

At work we have an espresso machine has cost the 10.000`é of Euros. Something I can not afford my house, so I was after a long and extensive product reviews for this model study decided here, and I'm more surprised than positive!

ESPRESSO: really good crema, taste top (Illy coffee, Lavazza is also ok). Only the double espresso crema is wafer-thin, and lasts only a short time, which is also with our wide EXTREMELY cups.

COFFEE: once made a sample coffee, top, otherwise we drink exclusively cappuccino.

MILK FOAM: so I've really not counted, so should get a perfect, super beautiful and -festen milk foam for the small money just as well as at a much more expensive professional machine !!

Hot chocolate: you get also super out (bought yourself, unfortunately bigger pot is not getting under it) just the 0.5-liter milk jug half full of milk filling, 5-6 teaspoons of cocoa powder in, lather with the steam nozzle, finished! Then reaches exactly a`125ml for exactly 2 glasses.

CONCLUSION: Super Espresso machine for a 2persons budget, super taste, perfect milk froth.

Disadvantages are that the machine is very low, so you only get 1 0.5l milk jug underneath, and thus you can make at most 2Cappuccino at once. In addition, they will get very hot, so if you have time visit, and must make 4Cappuccino, the last two have not a nice solid frothy milk as the first two, because they then heated the milk too quickly. The result is then but still sufficient.

5stars from me, price-performance ratio is great, perfect for a 2persons budget. If you want to make, however, often more than 2Cappuccino suddenly need much more money to spend here.
Have them for a month now and just hope that it still works in 2years as top as at present, will keep you up to date here!
