I never go back to the leaders expressed steam with Stardazer After steaming espresso cappuccino at those responsible for such a day for the past 12 years, I thought it was time to switch to a pump model. I researched the types of pumps and decided on this model. Wow! What a difference! The first espresso coffee is like a creamy tan color, which makes it clear in a rich dark brown color in a minute. What is the difference in taste! We use pure Kona and the taste is softer and sweeter than we are accustomed to. In the week I used it, I still have not learned the foam of this device, but it is always better, and is probably a learning curve for me. Some indications and warnings should be mentioned in advance in order to optimize performance and large eyes purchase: 1) This model is heavier and noisier than the steam models 2) No carafe is included. I use a Pyrex measuring cup, if you make two servings. Approximately 1 / 3 cup per serving Espresso 3) You must manually disable the control after the desired amount of espresso is made, therefore, measuring cup 1 / 3 per serving 4) Removable water tank - a nice touch. If not positioned correctly, you hear a loud continuous noise as the drive tries to draw water, can not achieve. It 'just the tip of a student. 5) While the water is huge, you can only do one or two servings at a time, unless the express is diluted. Doing more is only a matter of putting the device in standby, eliminating the causes, filling up with new reasons to continue the process again. 6) Always wait for the sound boom boom pump to stop before proceeding to the next step. This is usually a matter of seconds, just do not be impatient! 7) Whenever the foam job, you must wait until the orange light go out first. It 's like waiting for the oven reaches the correct temperature. 8) You can not go from dark to espresso without first placing the unit in standby for a bicycle bike cool down for about 10 seconds. When it stops, you can proceed. This is just a cool down. 9) To correct this espresso machine is FAST! 10) I am over 13 years! With the above in mind, I hope you take the plunge. The price is good and the difference in taste is remarkable. If you are looking to upgrade your espresso maker steam, go for it! The Holidaze are just around the corner! 76 of 76 people found the following review helpful. Simple Espresso B. Molina by an introduction to my first point-of-view on the coffee. I'm not a coffee snob by any means, but I know what tastes good and what is not. I'm no stranger to the kitchen ... I mean, kitchen gadgets are free for herself to me. I wanted to pay an espresso machine because it was almost $ 5 for a latte a day is always the control I brew coffee at home all the time, but really needed something that would save me $ 20 + one week I bought a Mr. Coffee unit that was horrible and I returned. I did not want to spend $ 300 - $ 500 for something to brew their own espresso, but I wanted something that was cheap. I recommend this model have to pump it and build my previous experience with Krups. Right out of the box, I cleaned the system after the simple instructions. So I had to do my first latte. I read the directions while cleaning the system and found it very easy to understand. Self-cleaning system really helps to learn the system relatively quickly. So off I go .... This Krups espresso machine brews one cup of whole, and like it. As soon as my espresso was brewed, I steamed and frothed milk for my latte. I could not believe how easy it was. My first experience with this unit and I was able to make a great latte, which tasted good to not only create, but it did the milk was hot and there was just the right amount of foam for my chocolate drizzle on top. This device can not alone.
