Delonghi BAR 14 Caffe Treviso

...Comet paying £70 for a DeLonghi Treviso, but before you all start checking and finding out that it should have cost £52, it did, before they tacked on the 3-year warranty. ==SO WHAT IS IT?== ===The Treviso=== is a two-cup espresso machine. That is to say it can make two cups of coffee at a time, and in our household, that’s plenty, most of the time. Espresso machines pump high pressure (14 bars in this case – about 206 psi) hot water through a filter, ...
...the coffee is ‘expressed’ through the filter with all the speed of ….errrr…..an express train. ===Compared=== to a coffee percolator, where the hot water goes round and round picking up extra flavour on each pass, the espresso taste is more like a Rombout filter literally pumped up ‘on steroids’ as Jezza Clarkson is wont to say. Hence, its resulting flavour from a single pass tends more towards that of filter compared when compared to anything a ...

Review of Delonghi BAR 14 Caffe Treviso

...mine was actually called a delonghi trevisio, but it is this machine. A small neat expresso coffee machine, with milk steamer/frother, this little box of tricks made a perfect cappuccino straight from the box. I have to admit I was a little sceptical - I had been expecting to only be able to buy a steam action (3 - 4 bar pressure) machine for my budget - which was £75, so was delighted to find this pump action at an affordable price, but did wonder ...
...The difference in the two actions is the quality of the expresso and more particulary the crema on the expresso (the frothy bit!!). I have to say I was not overly impressed with the first couple of expresso's i made. However I invested in a coffee pod adaptor for the BAR14 at the huge cost of £5 (!) and the taste, strength and crema have improved greatly. The coffee pods are already compacted and individually sealed in a little sachet, so I wonder ...

Review of Delonghi BAR 14 Caffe Treviso

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. ...

Review of Delonghi BAR 14 Caffe Treviso

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 ...

Review of Delonghi BAR 14 Caffe Treviso

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. ...

Review of Delonghi BAR 14 Caffe Treviso

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. ...

Review of Delonghi BAR 14 Caffe Treviso

...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. ...
