CoffeeGeek - Saeco Via Veneto - Conclusions ()

  „Because at $50, this is an exceptional value. You're getting a good starter machine that does have some power, especially in the pump and frothing abilities (once you overcome the machine's small boiler size problems), and if you're just trying to get into espresso and cappuccino, this machine is definitely a good starting point. Pair it up with a good grinder, (Saeco M2002, $100; Bodum Antigua, $75; Solis 166, $125, Briel Java, $75) and $150 or less, you have a capable home setup that will impress the non-espresso drinker, wow the cappuccino lover, and provide the tools to build your own barista skills. Buy the aftermarket chrome and brass portafilter from Saeco (around $20 USD), and you'll overcome further limitations this machine has.“

CoffeeGeek - Krups Moka Brew Pressure Brewer

  „One thing to realise is that we're not just talking about a typical Krups brewer here; nor are we talking about coffee maker that simply brews at the right temperatures. We're talking about a new brewing method; one that is new to North America at least. We're talking about a pressure brewing coffee system that borrows from both the auto drip world, and the moka pot world.“

CoffeeGeek - Cuisinart Brew Central - Steve Tock's Review CoffeeGeek - Cuisinart Brew Central - Steve Tock's Review

  „Even though it had it's problems, my old KitchenAid brewer made a full 12 cups of flavorful coffee, and there were never any grounds in the water tank. The Cuisinart does make hot coffee, but it was very weak even with the gold filter. Using the KitchenAid I could make a fairly strong 10 cup pot using 12 scoops; using this same amount of coffee and water with the Cuisinart resulted in a very weak brew. I will not keep a brewer that takes more coffee to make a decent cup, instead I took the plunge and ordered the Technivorm Clubline.“

  „ It is very Coffeegeek.  If you’re communing with the inner circle of Coffeegeeks, sure fly the freak flag high, but the rest of the time please keep your card carrying ristretto membership in your pocket.  Stop the insanity.  You’re only hurting yourself.“

  „If you're ever a bit further north, Leucadia is a cool town, and Pannikin is the kind of place we all wish we had locally. Unpretentious and relaxing (it's in an old train station), and they've got some great grub.“

CoffeeGeek - Isomac Zaffiro - Performance CoffeeGeek - Isomac Zaffiro - Performance

  „It does let you down in terms of being a "cappuccino machine", because of a long draw time between brewing and steaming (I do not recommend steaming first, then cycling the machine down to brew a shot - it takes almost as long, and can use half a reservoir of water in the process). But with that said, the actual steam performance of the Zaffiro was superb once the machine is heated up properly.“
