ASCASO OFFERS A LOT OF GREAT (on Ascaso I-1 Espresso ...)
intrepid510 | intrepid510 | Tue, 02/07/2012Ascaso offers a lot of great entry level grinders, this flat burr grinder is going to offer a little softer espresso flavor. Being able to directly dose into the portafilter is also a convenient feature, but can be a little messy. Also have to really like the great styling of this grinder.
ROCK (on Ascaso i-Steel I-1 E...)
intrepid510 | intrepid510 | Tue, 02/07/2012A great home grinder, and I will echo what the other reviewers have said about this. It's built very well, but it loud and the grinding is a little slower compared to other grinders. But at the end of the day it grinds well for espresso, offers infinite adjustment and is built well.
ASCASO CAPPUCCINO CUPS AND SAUCERS (on Ascaso Cappuccino Cu...)
mldobbie | Mon, 02/06/2012I love them! I have been looking for 5 oz. cups and I found them. I couldn't be happier. They are so cute and love the script on them. Very well packaged so arrived save and sound. Thank you for the FREE shipping too!
A SOLID E61 TYPE MACHINE. (on Vibiemme Domobar Jun...)
Son Ton | Son Ton | Sat, 02/04/2012The Vibiemme is a really solid E61 type of espresso machine that should provide to be a very reliable machine and make excellent espresso to boot. It is very attractive as well with the full stainless steel body. The price is also very good for what you get!
A GREAT LEVER (on Elektra Micro Casa S...)
avaserfi | avaserfi | Tue, 01/31/2012The Micro Casa is a gorgeous lever machine that has a bit of a learning curve, but can put out a wonderful shot. I've had the pleasure to work on one numerous times and as with all levers it takes some work to get the technique down, but once you do it is a pleasure. My biggest problem with most levers is the small portafilter limiting dosing to around 14 grams. I tend to prefer a higher dose.
GOOD GRINDER (on Ascaso i-Steel I-2 E...)
Wakeknot | Wakeknot | Sat, 01/21/2012this is a good grinder in its price range. it is better than the much cheaper grinders (but can't keep up with the much more expensive commercial grinders).
GREAT MACHINE (on Vibiemme Domobar Sup...)
Wakeknot | Wakeknot | Sat, 01/21/2012this machine has a world class reputation, that is well deserved. An excellent choice for anyone looking at great HX machines.
YOU ARE THE WEAKEST LINK. (on Elektra ART.T1 Sixti...)
intrepid510 | intrepid510 | Fri, 01/20/2012This is one of the top of the line machines that you can buy and it comes with the requirement that you plumb it in. This is good since you never have to worry about running out of water or your drip tray over flowing, but at the same time does require the additional expense. That being said these machine produce espresso that you and the grinder are going to be the only limits, not the machine!
DOUBLE SUPER (on Vibiemme Double Domo...)
intrepid510 | intrepid510 | Wed, 01/18/2012Honestly it appears this machine has it all. First of all it has all the features you would expect to have from a machine at this price point, double boilers, a PID (for adjusting brew temp), E61 brew head (allows for a forgiving espresso pull) and a rotary pump. However, there are some things that I believe make it stand out first the OPV goes down all the way into the drip tray, doesnt sound a like a big deal, but if you look at a Quickmill it doesn't go down as far thus water sprays all over your machines. Next up, plumb or not doesnt matter because you can do either other machines out there require you to do so or make you pick this one you can have it both ways. Oh and lets forget no anti-burn steam wands, they cut down on steaming power why would you want that?
VERY NICE (on Ascaso I-1D Espresso...)
EricBNC | EricBNC | Sat, 12/31/2011The Ascaso I-1D Espresso Grinder is similar to the Ascaso I-1 except this model includes a doser to dispense the coffee - same nice flat disc burrs and stepless adjustment as the doserless model though.
PRETTY (on Ascaso I-2 Espresso ...)
EricBNC | EricBNC | Sat, 12/31/2011This Ascaso I-2 Espresso Grinder is the same model as the Ascaso I-2D except this stepless conical burr grinder will empty grounds right in your portafilter - same pretty red color too but many other colors are available.
WORTH A LOOK (on Ascaso Steel Uno 'Sp...)
Wakeknot | Wakeknot | Sat, 12/31/2011this machine is one to really look hard at in this price category. I really like the idea of a machine with a three way making backflushing easier and ensuring no "portafilter sneezes."
COMPACT (on Ascaso I-2D Espresso...)
EricBNC | EricBNC | Sat, 12/31/2011The Ascaso I-2D Espresso Grinder with doser is about as inexpensive as it gets for a conical burr grinder available with stepless adjustment for infinite grind settings - the red color helps the make the appearance nice too.
DURABLE (on Ascaso i-Steel I-1 E...)
EricBNC | EricBNC | Sat, 12/31/2011The Ascaso I-1 Espresso Grinder is a ruggedly built unit that is perfect for someone looking to take the quality of their espresso to the next level - nice flat burrs and a good motor for the price but these can be a little noisy - hard to beat the durable case though.
STURDY (on Ascaso i-Steel I-2 E...)
EricBNC | EricBNC | Sat, 12/31/2011This Ascaso i-Steel I-2 Espresso Grinder features a decent set of 38mm conical burrs that resemble the older set Baratza used in the Virtuoso - most grinders with this burr set are capable of making decent grounds for espresso - tough looking grinder too.
NICE GRINDER (on Ascaso I-1 Espresso ...)
EricBNC | EricBNC | Sat, 12/31/2011The Ascaso I-1 Espresso Grinder model is a great starter unit for someone looking to take the quality of their espresso to the next level - nice burrs and motors for the price but these can be a little noisy and more expensive grinders are a bit faster too.
SPECIAL EDITION (on Ascaso Steel Uno 'Sp...)
EricBNC | EricBNC | Sat, 12/31/2011The Ascaso Steel Uno 'Special Edition' Versatile Espresso Machine features a 7.5 fl oz brass boiler, three way solenoid, and a temperature gauge - this is a full featured single boiler machine that looks great too.
ATTRACTIVE MACHINE (on Ascaso Dream UP Espr...)
EricBNC | EricBNC | Sat, 12/31/2011The Ascaso Dream UP Espresso Machine shares the same stylish case as the Ascaso Dream but the Dream Up adds a three way solenoid so you can take the portafilter out right away without having grounds spraying every where - nice feature.
PID CONTROL (on Ascaso Steel Uno Pro...)
EricBNC | EricBNC | Sat, 12/31/2011The Ascaso Steel Uno Professional Espresso Machine is a nice product for home espresso that will give you precise control of the temperature of the water in the boiler with a PID controller built in - great for making drinks for the household.
GREAT STYLE (on Ascaso DREAM Espress...)
EricBNC | EricBNC | Sat, 12/31/2011The Ascaso Dream is a nice product for home espresso with a brass boiler and portafilter for temp stability cased inside one of the prettiest designs on the market.
