Re-create the flavor of authentic Italian café drinks with the Café Roma espresso maker. Style-conscious coffee lovers will treasure its attractive, stainless-steel housing that conveniently sits on a countertop. Espresso enthusiasts will delight in the 15-bar Thermoblock pump which forces water through coffee grounds at the ideal pressure to create delicious, rich espresso shots. The machine also produces an abundance of crema--the light brown liquid that sits atop an espresso and characterizes a well-pulled shot--via its dual-wall filter system. Filters synchronize with heated and pressurized water to perfectly extract and caramelize coffee oils, resulting in a velvety, flavor-packed crema that will impress purists and novices alike. The machine is simple-to-use, with a removable 1.3-quart water tank and an external water window that indicates when the tank is low. The tank is much larger than most consumer machines, so espresso enthusiasts can pull shot after shot without running low on water. As with any good espresso machine, the unit also includes a warming plate to prevent shots from prematurely cooling when poured into cups. Additional features include a froth enhancer for flavorful lattés and cappuccinos, and a removable drip tray and grid for easier cleanup. As a bonus, the machine also comes with a stainless-steel espresso cup set and a frothing jug.

Most Helpful Customer Reviews 107 of 109 people found this review helpful. A great machine so far! By IntelligenceIsParamount This opinion is based on a latte a day for about a month now. The service was great: one part was put in shipping (although the manufacturer was very well packed in a box!). I called and someone answered the phone was immediately helped me to understand the problem. To date, the espresso comes out hot, great with a cream, and my milk is also nice and warm (120-160 degrees Celsius, depending on how you want it) and well-foam (which means microfoam (!) No Seafoam ). With the nozzle, it is important to keep your head full of rubber (which means the fat part) dipped into the hot milk to (including air intakes on the side). Bottom line: I'm very impressed that this quality comes at this price. 288 of 308 people found this review helpful. The reviews are pretty good ... u Unfortunately, the reviews are even more negative by Jose Najas Raad know about coffee, espresso, steam machines, pumps and allows almost perfect espresso machines. This is due not to the quality of the machine, but the filters that come with double wall. That said, people who are thinking of buying this unit you should know that the same filters that produce high like the cream gets on after two or three uses, and clean, it will work (release of small holes with a needle, soaking the filter overnight in vinegar and / or running water through the filter many pressurizedboiling empty), losing a lot of unused coffee, and the worst of any ... to lose much time to do all this (which almost no one these days). I think this problem would be solved if the pump was strong enough to push through the clogged filter, but it is not. When the water pressure builds up, instead of passing through the filters and coffee, and go back down to the reservoir in the bottom of the machine (picture trying to blow up a balloon with a hole in it), wasting tons of water in the process. In addition, do not think you can clean the filter after every use ..... can not, because as I said earlier, the filter has two walls, the first with a large number of small holes and the other with a very small one. What remains trapped in the two walls will probably stay, obstruction of the small holes and makes the machine useless. Nothing comes out of the machine, even with an empty filter !!!!!!! In the end, the price seems good and the machine looks good, but, and this is a big BUT ... the end result will take the most expensive cups of coffee (about $ 25/cup, however, lost all coffee, water and time) in his life after the machine stops the production of coffee for 10 cups. and guess what? It is a work of a few seconds, but the coffee is so good! One of my daughters is visually impaired and can work without the machine and clean.
