Capresso Mini-S 4-Cup Safety Espresso - Make Your Espresso Safely

There should always be safety in espresso, and we think this Capresso Mini-S is the pinacle of safety when making a shot. Ihis economical Espresso maker uses steam pressure instead of a pump mechanism to create delicious espresso. It's a fast method that's perfect for a morning wake-up or after-dinner drink. Our sister site over at Single Serve Espresso has a full review, and we think if they like it - we'll like it.

Features:

• Boiler cap with built-in safety valve.
• Patented three-way safety switch for choosing between full pressure for brewing espresso and maximum steam output
• Red indicator light and dishwasher-safe glass carafe
• Stops brewing or steaming in the "0" position
• Dual frother lets you steam or froth milk either in a pitcher or right in your cup
• Instructional video shows how to produce espressos and cappuccinos in three easy steps

Krups XP7230 Super Auto Espresso Machine - Perfect Espresso

Single Serve Espresso has a very detailed write up on the Krups XP7230 Super Auto Espresso Machine. This fully automatic espresso machine with integrated burr grinder and brewing chamber is much smaller in footprint than other super automatic machines at just 30-50% the size. It features an adjustable grind based on personal preference. It also features a patented integrated brewing system which provides the correct temperature from the first cup of espresso you make. The digital interface makes for simple operation, and allows you to customize settings to your liking. And if that wasn't enough, there is also a patented steam nozzle for fool-proof frothing of milk for cappuccinos and lattes. The price is just $999, making the Krups XP7230 Super Auto Espresso Machine also - about 400-500 dollars less than the competition.

Handpresso - Portable Precise Espresso On the Go or at Home

Scott has been covering the Handpresso over at Single Serve Espresso this past week (a sister site of Kitchen Contraptions). The Handpresso may be one of the coolest portable single serve espresso and coffee makers we've ever seen, and you can use it in your home or on the go. Combining a bicycle pump, and using an E.S.E. espresso pod, you simply pump up the Handpresso and pull a perfect shot.

We thought at first we'd only use this out of the house on a hike or camping, but combined with our instant hot dispenser in our kitchen (which we turned up the water temperature), this makes a really easy shot of espresso without having to warm up an entire espresso machine for one shot or two.

Single Serve Espresso also revealed this week the Unboxing of Handpresso and their earlier article which features a rather interesting video on Handpresso.

Nespresso D90 Fizzy Fuchsia Essenza Espresso Machine

We've got the other Essenza model in our kitchen, but we really love the color of the Nespresso D90FF Essenza Single-Serve Manual Espresso Machine - PINK!

DeLonghi ESAM3300 Esclusivo Magnifica Super-Automatic Espresso/Coffee Machine

What we wouldn't do for one of these big super automatic espresso machines. Well - I guess I can think of a few things. The DeLonghi ESAM3300 Esclusivo Magnifica Super-Automatic Espresso/Coffee Machine is capable of preparing espresso, coffee, cappuccino, latte drinks, and more. This super-automatic machine features a unique beans-to-brew system that grinds coffee beans right before brewing for exceptionally aromatic espresso.

The appliance comes equipped with two stainless-steel boilers that provide excellent heat distribution, as well as an instant reheat function, which keeps the machine at an ideal temperature, no matter how long the interval between cups. In addition, its quiet burr grinder automatically grinds beans and can be set to a specific grinding level, but the unit can also be used with ground coffee if preferred.
