AEG PE9038M : DON'T TOUCH IT WITH A BARGE POLE !

Advantages: None come to mind
Disadvantages: A £650 coffee machine that doesn't make coffee

I regret not taking heed of the advice given on this site before I purchased this machine, so I urge you to learn from my mistake - DO NOT BUY THIS AEG COFFEE MACHINE. After 18 months of ownership I would say that I have had 13 months of functioning coffee machine. The rest of the time it lies dormant waiting to be fixed or replaced. I've had 2 machines now and the 2nd one has just broken, so its clear the issue is a fundamental design flaw. No matter ...
...I am in the process of trying to persuade AEG to give me my money back so I can go and buy a decent coffee machine. AEG know how hopeless this machine is, because they have stopped making it. Its old stock thats for sale now, but as I say don't be tempted. ...

Review of AEG-Electrolux PE 9038M

Crem or no Crema? that is the question.

Advantages: Ease of use and Cleaning.
Disadvantages: Not the taste - no crema

...The crema was amazing. This Delonghi needs something similar. Recommendation is a ‘NO’ purely because of the crema issue. The whole point of buying an expresso machine is to experience coffee as it should be tasted. Unfortunately the experience is more like a coffee filter machine offering, with frothy milk. My taste has been developed from drinking coffee in Italy and Spain. ...

Review of Delonghi BAR 14 Caffe Treviso

Solid machine and great espresso

Advantages: Simple to use, nice lookings
Disadvantages: None

Excellent, solid espresso machine. I bought mine in The Netherlands from www.espressosicilia.nl and use it for two years now. Nice looking and never had any problem so far. I did a service a year ago. It takes only few minutes to warm up, simple to use, very robust, the water tank is enough for few coffees a day. I leave all my cups on top and the machine keeps them warn and ready for use. It was my first serious machine and I think is more than ...
