Delonghi BAR 14 Caffe Treviso

Advantages: Compact, attractive looking, easy to clean.
Disadvantages: Noisy, doesn't come with a jug for the milk.

I got this as a gift and was fairly happy with it. Its not really ideal to use in the morning as it is extremely noisy and the milk frothy making part isn't great as you have to have a certain sized cup/jug which isn't supplied so I had to rumage around my kitchen and try all sorts of things to make it work with ease. It is easy to use and once reading the instructions once you shouldn't have to refer to them again. Easy to clean as it has a removable ...
...to take it out to get the cup to fit under) The wire is quite short so you have to have it near a plug which was a disadvantage for me as I had to move my kitchen work top around just to accommodate it. I think its a good little product but the novelty has worn off for me and it is now in a cupboard and I am back to making my coffee the way I had done before. ... Read review

Advantages: Cheap, makes good drinks
Disadvantages: Requires refilling frequently, takes ages to set up first time.

Ok, so I'm not normally a fan of this sort of thing, I find the extra effort required to put the kettle and make a hot drink is just too small to justify buying one of these machines, but I was given this one as a present so I figured, why not? Anyway, it was not too hard to set it up and once I'd got it working, I was pleasntly surprised. It's not instantaneous, obviously, you have to fill it up, turn it one and then wait for the 30 minute warm ...
...to be quite small and it requires filling up quite alot. However, as this is the first on of these I've owned I'm not sure if thats normal or not. I was surperbly impressed when I made my first drink with this. At the touch of a button, there was a perfect, hot espresso, at (almost) no effort on my part. It also makes cappuccino and has a steamer which makes the froth on top of one very well. There is little/ no manafacturer support for this so ... Read review

Advantages: Kinda good coffee better than instant
Disadvantages: Bit too bland

I bought this coffee maker via ebay about 2 years ago. I got a great price of around £24.00 it was brand new, just a graded product. Although when it arrived it was perfect only the box was damaged. I must say I have been somewhat dissapointed with the flavour and strength of the coffee (have tried various brands) I find it lacks that kick, and is rather bland. A friend has a slightly more expensive model and it makes much stronger and fuller coffee, ...
...coffee. Don't get me wrong the coffee is good but lacks the wow factor! Think I will take the tip from the previous review and invest in a coffee pod adapter! All in all pretty average. This is fine if your'e looking for a basic coffee maker. For coffee lovers like me, go for a better model. ... Read review

I have had the De'Longhi Bar 14 cafe Treviso coffee & Espresso machine for over 2 years, and I am very satisfied. Previously I have owned 2 other machines which cost over £200, yet the coffee didn't t ...

I have owned this coffee maker for a couple of weeks now and I am impressed with how easy it is to use and by the quality of the coffee it produces. The foamer is excellent compared to other's on models I have owned previously and is easy to clean after use. I would recommend this to anyone- it's a good quality coffee maker at a decent price.
