Advantages: Simple easy to clean system, seperate water resevoir Disadvantages: None
After a lot of time and energy spent researching different Espresso / Cappuccino machines, I came to two options:
Get a all in one wonder which does everythign automatically, U put in the coffee and the milk and it froths the milk and produces the espresso, but means a hell to clean...
OR a simple good quality Espresso machine which require you to fiddle knobs and hold the milk jug but which is smaller and easier to clean...
Guess which one I went for?
Yes, the second.. First, Since it is simpler, it costs less meaning that for the same amount of money I could buy a better quality machine, second, I it much easier to maintain and I do hate making a nice cup of somethign and then having to spend 10 minutes cleanign everything up before enjoying it. Thirdly, because I am going to University soon, I haven't got much room and specially ...
Advantages: Beginning to make the very best coffee in the world Disadvantages: Instructions & pathetic warming plate
, espresso. It may well be a quantum leap up from lowlier coffee drinks, but compared to true, well made espresso it still has a very long way to go.
This will also be true of those various espresso gadgets that you put on the hob in the hope that they will gush coffee in that split second before they explode. Lets be fair, it can be very good coffee, but espresso it ain?t.
Pumping it up.
So finally we get to high-pressure pumped espresso machines, and in particular the KrupsNovo 2100 Plus 962. Pretty and unusual name, don?t you think?.shame we?re not intending to have any more children.
Half-way decent ones are unfortunately around the £100 mark and the Novo is no exception, though I bought this new, unused and boxed on eBay for £64 +£2.95 p&p.
This price makes my coffee taste ever better. Similar machines seem to come up ...

Advantages: It doesn't turn off automatically, it takes filter papers, and is very simple to use. Disadvantages: The 'smooth side trigger action' isn't very effective.
In December 2006, my coffee filter machine broke, well, it was the operators? error, but I thought it was broke ? so, I bought a new one: the Krups version.
For those who are unaware, a filter coffee machine is, an electrical device that filters water through ground coffee, into a jug underneath. The jug is kept hot on a heated base, for you to drink at your leisure.
Here are the key features:
Capacity: 1.25 litres
Coffee type: Ground
Filter: Paper
Cup warmer: Yes
Removable reservoir: No
Dimensions: H35.8 x W25.5 x D22.9cm
Wattage: 1100W
Krups is a mid-range brand in the coffee machine world. I had decided on this machine before I went out to buy one: due to the advertised features. I found it difficult to locate any Krups machines in Chester; they had top end machines and the rubbish lower end ones, but Krups, Magimix ...
