Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Capresso 351.01 Pump Espresso/Coffeemaker Capresso Bar
Customer Review: A good product for all things intended
Summary: 5 Stars
Admittedly, my first one had a steamer problem, and was promptly replaced under warranty (I got it off eBay - it was a store demo model, soooo . . .) - I've had that replacement from Capresso for over 3 years now, and it's still making very nice espressos, continues to froth or steam milk well (though, I wish the arm was placed higher, but not a big deal) and it makes fine drip coffee. Programmability is certainly interesting, but I only go for standard shot sizes and otherwise use the timer to start coffee for morning wakeups. This is a very easy to clean and use unit - well designed in both regards.
Sure, you can easily find more expensive, rather serious Italian espresso machines to complement a separate drip (or other) coffee maker - but, this has made satisfying coffee/cap/espresso, been very convenient and easy to use, saved counter space and has lasted well for me.
Description of Capresso 351.01 Pump Espresso/Coffeemaker Capresso Bar
This two-in-one, fully loaded, programmable espresso/cappuccino/digital coffee machine makes such good coffee, it will put your local coffee shop to shame. The ThermoCoil feature has the world's fastest heat-up time of 50 seconds (for those of you who can't wait for that mouthful of java) and a low-noise, 18-bar pump pressure that makes thick, full-bodied crema espresso. The milk frother has two settings for steaming and frothing milk, and a three-minute, continuous-power steam release. The memory feature recalls the size of your espresso cup, and two preset cup sizes prevent overflows.The CapressoBar also boasts a programmable timer, an LED clock, and a soft-touch illuminated operating panel and two-hour safety shutoff for both units. This machine does a remarkable job of combining a coffee- and an espresso/cappuccino maker to produce professional results with the utmost convenience. Now all we need are the biscotti.--Marcela Broussard
Editor's note: This item may arrive with water inside from the manufacturer's pressure test. This is a normal occurrence and doesn't point to a problem with the machine.
