Looking For an Espresso Coffee Machine Or a Filter Coffee Maker?




Looking For an Espresso Coffee Machine Or a Filter Coffee Maker?

 
By Brian Potter

It takes some time to look for the best coffee machine and then best coffee too that will give you that rich and satisfying taste to match that mouth watering aroma we get from coffee being ground or fresh coffee being brewed.

Buy a good coffee machine, there are many to choose from so you should ensure that you do some research before you buy, get yourself up to date with the benefits and the features for each of them.

With so many different coffee makers available there are difficult choices to make but keep it in perspective, for domestic use you really don't need the all "bells and whistles" machines that you'll find in commercial kitchens and coffee bars.

Obviously you will have cost in mind and it is important too that you consider the space you have available to accommodate your choice, OK so the bigger the machine the more cups it can produce with one fill of the reservoir but no point in buying that huge machine if it's not going to fit in your kitchen.

Another choice you are going to have to make is whether you prefer a filter coffee maker with a jug that keeps the coffee warm by sitting on a hotplate or an espresso coffee machine

With an espresso machine there are inbuilt thermostats for controlling the water and steam pressures so that your espresso or cappuccino is always at the perfect temperature.

Espresso machines offer a swivel jet milk frother that gives cappuccino, latte or any other frothy milk beverage that frothy creamy looking top.

They have removable water tanks you can fill right from the sink and keeping the tank itself clean is really easy a removable drip tray also lends itself to easy, hassle-free, cleaning too.

Espresso is a concentrated coffee beverage and is brewed by forcing hot water under pressure through the finely ground coffee., espresso often has a thicker consistency than the ordinary filter coffee.

Because of the pressurized brewing process, all of the flavors and chemicals in a typical cup of espresso coffee will be very concentrated and because of this espresso is used as the base for other coffee drinks, such as lattes, cappuccino, macchiato and mochas.

Of course it depends on your own individual taste but if you want some form of recommendation my advice and I love coffee, would be to go for the espresso maker.

Once you are decided on the machine you want to buy remember that the coffee that you buy for the filter coffee machine may not be right for an espresso machine.

You'll need finely ground coffee for the best espresso so again you will need to search around the stores and find finely ground coffee together with the strength of ground coffee or coffee bean that you prefer.

So look around and see what you can find, there are some really great machines on the market today, my preference? Well I'm hung up on the DeLonghi and Gaggia range of machines and you can find more information on these as well as some good advice on coffee in general at my website, goodcoffeeclub.com

Nescafé Dolce Gusto Caffé Americano 16 Capsules

 
Strong, full bodied coffee 28 Oct 2011
By D. Jones  
I have been to three large supermarkets in our local area and have never found these for sale so it has been great to be able to purchase them online.

We drink a lot of coffee in our household and since getting the Nescafe Dolce Gusto machine we have tried every variety going. Our favorites tend to be cappuccino for a bit of luxury, espresso after meals and this one for our mid morning and afternoon break.


The taste is full-bodied, rounded and smooth and every bit on par with a coffee purchased from a coffee shop (at far more expense). To be able to get such a lovely cup of coffee without having to leave your home is a real bonus.



It is also great to get so many pods together. If I buy pods at the supermarket I tend to just get one pack at a time as they are bulky and as there are often up to four people drinking coffee in our house we often run out of the pods before I do another shop. However this hasn't been such an issue with these as they came as a set of three packs, 48 drinks in total. I know I could just buy three packs at the shop but when you have bags and bags of groceries to carry anything that lightens that load is a benefit.



If you love a good cup of coffee then these are definitely worth trying.

Makes a great cup of cappuccino


Nescafé Dolce Gusto Cappuccino 16 Capsules (Pack  of 3)

We drink a lot of coffee in our household and since getting the Nescafe Dolce Gusto machine we have tried every variety going. Our favourites tend to be cappuccino for a bit of luxury, espresso after meals and this one for our mid morning and afternoon break.


The cappuccino takes two pods rather than the standard one pod for most of the Dolce Gusto brands. One pod is the milk and the other the coffee and although both pods are necessary to make a proper tasting cappuccino it does mean that you only get 8 drinks out of each box rather than the standard 16 that you get for the Americano, Lungo, Espresso etc.



When making your cappuccino you will need to experiment with the quantities of milk and coffee to start with. I prefer mine with only a small bit of milk and on the stronger side with the coffee, my husband prefers it half and half.



The taste is excellent, it makes a lovely cup of cappuccino that can rival most of those that you can buy on the high street. The mixture does have a slight sweetness to it but it hasn't been an issue for us as we tend to take sugar with our coffee. My son doesn't take sugar and doesn't like his drinks even stirred with a spoon that has been near sugar. However, he is happy enough to drink this cappuccino even though he is aware of the sweetness.



It is also great to get so many pods together. If I buy pods at the supermarket I tend to just get one pack at a time as they are bulky and we often run out of the pods before I do another shop. However this hasn't been such an issue with these as they came as a set of three packs, 24 drinks in total. I know I could just buy three packs at the shop but when you have bags and bags of groceries to carry anything that lightens that load is a benefit.


If you love cappuccino it is worth giving these a go - sprinkle on some quality powdered chocolate after making for an extra bit of luxury.
