Revainrating 5 out of 5

Beyond praise! The product definitely deserves your attention.

The drawbacks only become apparent when comparing the home model to commercial models. Compared to another product of the same firm, the largely automated fairy story known as Distinta ECI 341, DD The pluses: 1) Cappuccino turns out wonderful if you: o - learn how to correctly beat milk in a pitcher, not according to the accompanying instructions, but rather, say, according to training videos from a barista, if you don't know how. If your coffee grinder is like mine and operates on pressure or is manually operated rather than giving a fixed grind, then you will need to make some adjustments to get the right balance between too coarse and too fine a consistency for taste, cream, and, in general, for 15 bar to break through a tablet. You may do other things, like filling the pitcher with milk and ice water, while the espresso is being poured evenly because the water supply is constant. Cons: 1) Oh. Obviously a cappuccino maker. Of course, I couldn't have asked for a better fit for my niche, but I guess I should have seen this coming. It wasn't obvious what to blow and wipe off with this foldable cappuccinatore, but the fact that rinsing wasn't sufficient was a big surprise. The cappuccinatore has two pieces: a rubber base and an iron cylinder housed in a plastic frame. Hence, there is space in the first section where the iron cylinder meets the plastic. You'll find this in every single one of Delonga's cappuccinatore-equipped coffee makers. Even if you manage to bust it open, you won't be able to get the milk out with a needle or a toothbrush if you don't carefully wash it at the junction of plastic and iron. Please be aware of this subtlety and keep an eye on it. 2) The filter has removable components. These make it difficult to create a consistent coffee tablet like you would with a commercial machine, and if you're not careful, ground coffee can slip into the hole through which the espresso is dispensed, clogging it. But the price range is important to him, therefore it's all active. What at first seemed like a benefit turned out to be a drawback for me: the compact size was achieved by eliminating storage space for extra filters and a tempera/measuring spoon. It's quite difficult to use the hot water. Instead of a steady stream, the water spurts out in brief bursts, creating a million splatters of hot water in every direction.
