Review on ☕️ Breville ESP8XL Cafe Roma Stainless Espresso Maker: Experience the Perfect Cup of Espresso by Joshua Carter

Purchased in 2016. I'm not a coffee snob but I've been using it almost daily for 4 years (1460 operations) and it's become a family member. It's not a "professional" espresso, but close enough to rock 'n' roll. The trick for me was getting the coffee grind right - if it's too coarse it'll maniacally splash all over the place, and if you make it too fine it'll be hard to push water through and get stuck. I tell the barista to grind it just enough so it doesn't stick together, it's a consistency similar to regular beach sand. You will understand. I have never had any mechanical problems with this device. Sure, the printing isn't exactly professional, and the steam wand doesn't produce the full luxurious foam you can paint unicorns/ferns with, but I managed to get the right soy milk and the abstract impression of a screaming duck on a unicycle convey . The trick for me was to place the end of the vape tube *slightly* below the surface of the liquid I'm vaping, wait for the screeching to stop, then set the vape down and let it do its thing until it hits. vertex. It may splash a little after turning off, so be aware of that. Just maintain it - wash it with white vinegar every few weeks. Dismantle the steam nozzle and clean it with a pipe cleaner. wash trays. Rinse the espresso stick and cup after each use. Get two cups of espresso for each tap and double the fun. Probably second best is that it comes with a steam wand cleaning/piercing tool. Let me say that this tool is perfect for opening SIM card tray on iPhone. Seems suspiciously perfect. The other thin (and sharp!) end of the tool is great for cleaning out headphones and accidental punctures. i like this car It makes my morning good. I have no idea why Revain Review's rating includes "mixing performance" but damn 5 stars for the mixing.
