Espressione 1329 Cafe Roma Deluxe Espresso Machine with Built-in Grinder, Anthracite Grey
I am very pleased with this machine all around. I really labored over which espresso machine to buy! This unit looks handsome on the counter, and seems to be high quality and substantial. You can adjust several different variables as you learn: the coarseness of your grind; your tamping pressure, the amount of coffee you place in the filter; and the choice of beans themselves. After not too much work, I am already achieving flavor I like (and fine crema) with my beans brought back from Puerto Rico. If you need the grinder, this is a great choice. There is a lot of discussion about frothing. It is simple on this machine. I have made Cappucino, Espresso, and Americano already. Some highlights: the grinder gives about a dozen coarseness options on a disk very easily turned; you can grind into the filter OR into your own container. The water tank can be refilled two different ways, and the tank is large. It heats up quick, and you get good froth by simply submerging the pointer all the way into your mug and using full force until the foam rises. Easy. No complaints. I’m having fun, saving money, and feeling like a one-step-up gourmet in my own kitchen.

I searched all over looking for a dependable expresso/capuccino machine. No reviews were available at the time I purchased this in January,2009. Seven months later the steam arm got overheated and stopped working. While it worked it made a great foam. It was lightly used most of the time so I was shocked when after 6 cups one morning it got overheated. Couldn’t find the manufacturer’s site where I can send it in for repair. I’ve been using the Aerolatte stainless steel frother which makes a great froth for my capuccino. I froth the milk after I heat it in a separate pot while the expresso is being made in the Espressione unit. If I knew how well the Aerolatte worked I would have never spent so much money on this combination. I’ll never buy a multi-function unit again.

The first machine we received was faulty. It literally would not pump water through to the coffee. We shipped it back (had to pay for shipping) and then received a replacement about 3 weeks later. The replacement machine does not heat the espresso shots to more then luke warm. But, the biggest issue is actually the plastic water holding bin smells like plastic. It has such a strong plastic smell/taste to it that the steamed milk comes out with a slight plastic taste and smell to it. We have tried cleaning it, dishwashing it, etc but to no avail. I feel like we just threw over $300 out the door. We are past the 30 day return period and have lost interest in trying to fight for a new one. I am now turning my attention towards trying to keep people from buying this poorly designed and functioning machine.

I have purposely waited for more than 3 months since my purchase to write a review, as I wanted to make sure the satisfaction lasted. I chose this model for the features, and for the appearance of being more substantially made than some similarly priced competitor models. It was easy to set up and get started. I do agree that the directions could be more helpful in the “how-to” department for novice espresso makers like me. I put this in my office for the purpose of replacing my daily mid-afternoon Starbucks latte purchase habit. After some experimentation with various beans, tamping pressure, and degrees of grinding, I was able to produce a product that easily rivals what I had been buying over the counter….And for probably .45 – .50 per cup! I have found that the temperature varies somewhat from one cup to another, probably depending on my performance as a barista. Since there is not a cup warmer included, I learned to microwave a cup of water in my latte cup while I’m grinding and frothing. I like my coffee very hot, so on the occasion that drink is still not hot enough, I simply stick the finished product into the microwave for 30 seconds (although I’m sure this probably horrifies espresso purists). All in all, a very good machine for the money. Everything continues to work as designed, and clean-up is very simple.

This machine is tops. Create your favorite espresso or coffee based beverage by selecting fresh beans, grinding them, tamp the coffee then brew a spectacular beverage…like the professionals do. We love not only the results but also the ambiance created daily when we “fire up” the Cafe Roma Deluxe. Bascially achieve the same result as one of the very expensive super automatic machines, at a fraction of cost and frankly I think…in a more nostalgic and charming manner.
