Review on ☕ Capresso 303.01 4-Cup Espresso and Cappuccino Machine - Black Compact Design for Home Brewing by Yousef Clark

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Robust, compact and reliable

I have avoided espresso or cappuccino machines because of their price and complexity. I live alone and only drink one cup a day, but I wanted to be able to serve guests. This is one of the cheapest coffee makers but it works great. With regular coffee, I can brew up to four cups in five minutes. It's very simple: grind the beans, fill with water, close the lid, put the ground coffee in the filter holder and switch on the button. It's all made of plastic and metal, with metal being the most important parts (filter, filter holder, steam wand, internal kettle and drip tray). Glass holder/collecting glass with plastic lid. Although a manual coffee grounds compactor is included, I only use it when I'm making four cups of coffee. The secret to preventing coffee from burning is to turn it off as soon as the glass carafe is full (unless it's going to be used immediately to froth milk). ). For frothing milk (use whole milk), the plastic frother is attached to a metal rod and you can use it with or without the plastic nozzle. It does a great job of creating a good frothy mixture. There is a plastic filter holder which is great if you want to throw your used soil in the bin without burning yourself. There is a pressure valve on the side for foaming and relieving pressure in the device. This is an inexpensive and easy way to make coffee, cappuccino or latte. It's also very easy to clean. It's nice to finally get the perfect car at a reasonable price.
