Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Capresso 303.01 4-cup Espresso Cappuccino Machine and Cleaner Bundle
Customer Review: Great little machine
Summary: 5 Stars
I got this wonderful machine for Christmas and have been using it nearly every day. I am a college senior and aspiring medical school student, so I'm hoping it lasts me a while. I'm so happy to be making my own cappuccinos and espressos using the delicious Illy brand that they used in Italy, France, and Greece when I was abroad.
I really don't understand some of the negative reviews--I have no problem getting the boiler cap on (you just have to make sure it's aligned), have never burnt my espresso (follow the instructions and don't run all the water through!), and releasing steam (for 1-2 shots) only takes about a minute.
Pros: Small, sleek design. Easy to clean. FAST. Comes with a scoop/tamper-in-one. Good for one person, and for entertaining a few guests. You can control the strength of your coffee. Frother is easy to use--I love my froth. Not messy.
Cons: For me this is not a con because I can't drink things that are too hot, but like a previous reviewer said, the espresso is a bit on the warm (not hot) side if you're only making one shot. Also, it is slightly annoying to clean off milk residue from the silver froth wand, but I just do it immediately after use and it's fine.
This is my first espresso/cappuccino machine, and all in all, I think it's a wonderful, easy to use machine.
Description of Capresso 303.01 4-cup Espresso Cappuccino Machine and Cleaner Bundle
Brew cafe-quality espressos, cappuccinos, and lattes from the comfort of home with this 4-cup-capacity countertop appliance. It provides a sleek design with rounded corners and user-friendly controls that make even novice brewers look like pros. The unit's powerful steam/boiler quickly heats up in less than two minutes, making it possible to brew two to four cappuccinos or lattes in under five minutes. Even more, the appliance features a unique coffee/steam selector, which allows for switching from brewing coffee to steaming milk and for adjusting the coffee strength to accommodate individual preferences. Adjust the steam output on the machine's swivel frother to match the amount of milk to be frothed--in seconds it produces steamed milk for frothy cappuccinos and creamy lattes. Other highlights include a safety boiler cap with a built-in valve, an illuminated on/off switch, a convenient filter holder with a protective thumb guard, and a removable drip tray for easy clean-up. A dishwasher-safe glass carafe with a generous stay-cool handle and drip-free spout comes included. Made in China, the 800-watt espresso and cappuccino machine measures 9-3/4 by 7-1/2 by 13-1/4 inches and carries a one-year limited warranty.Espresso Machines
