Not that we’re encouraging you to keep up with the Joneses, but if you’re in the market for a new espresso machine, we thought it might be helpful to share which models sold the best over the last year. Broken down by budget, here is what other folks have chosen for their home espresso setup, [...]  Crew Review: Rancilio Egro Commercial Superautomatic – Redux!
January 18th, 2012
When Gail first met this sophisticated robot about 18 months ago, they had a brief and fleeting affair, enabling her to get just a minor taste of its capabilities. We brought in a demo model a few months ago and Gail has now had the time to get up close and personal with Rancilio’s commercial [...] Crew Review: Krups Espresseria Superautomatic
November 28th, 2011
Krups is entering the not-so-high-stakes game of superautomatic espresso machines! Gail shows us the ins and outs of their Espresseria model, including features, specs, temp testing and making a very pretty latte. Crew Review: Saeco Syntia Cappuccino
October 18th, 2011
Yet another gauntlet laid down, yet another petite one-touch superautomatic added to the fray. If we are honest, we will admit that we wish these really were robots and that we could pit these tiny superautomatics against each other in a brew to the death! But we are not honest; doing so would be too [...] Crew Review: Saeco Exprelia One-Touch Superauto
October 4th, 2011
Saeco’s newest addition to their stainless steel version of superautomatic espresso machines is the Exprelia, which is basically a simplified version of the Xelsis. With not quite as many programming options (you can program the same number of drinks, you just don’t have multiple users) and a slimmed down case, this is a great choice [...] Crew Review: DeLonghi Magnifica S Cappuccino
September 30th, 2011
In a sea of one-touch superautomatics, only the strong will survive! And the short — of course, we are biased since we are members of the goblin class. But if there’s one thing people don’t love about these highly functional robotic cappuccino machines, it’s that they often take up more counter space than a small [...] Crew Review: Jura Impressa J9 One-Touch Cappuccino
September 20th, 2011
Jura’s new J9 One-Touch takes the well-loved, sleek packaging of their J-series of machines, adds a little interface extravagance and rocks the one-touch functionality. Watch as Gail walks us through the programming interface, overall features and functionality, then whips up some one-touch madness. Testing: Steaming Lactose Free Milk
August 30th, 2011
We had a viewer query regarding lactose free milk: Was his inability to get great microfoam caused by the nature of the lactose free milk or did he just need to practice more? Milk is magically (OK, scientifically) transformed into lactose-free with the addition of the lactase enzyme, which will break down the lactose before [...] Crew Review: Jura Ena9 One-Touch Superauto
August 22nd, 2011
One-touch capabilities usually mean a large robot will take over more than it’s fair share of your kitchen’s counter. But Jura released an update to its Ena series last fall that is finally available to everyone who isn’t part of the Sur La Table set. Featuring the sleek lines and space consciousness of the other [...] Gear Testing: DeLonghi ESAM 5400 Superautomatic
August 1st, 2011
Another superautomatic in DeLonghi’s arsenal is this Perfecta model, sans one-touch milk functionality. Watch as Gail takes us through its features and makes a latte. |
