CUTE, BUT... (on Stainless Steel Coff...)
jbviau | jbviau | Mon, 02/06/2012I have some cups that are a little wider than these, which would make it harder to dust into the stencils' centers without spilling over the sides. Other than that, very cute.
HANDY (on Stovetop Espresso 5P...)
EricBNC | EricBNC | Fri, 02/03/2012If you are using and enjoying the nine cup size stove top espresso maker then you will appreciate the availability of replacement wear items so the brewer will stay in top condition as these parts will need replacing under normal use from time to time - this kit is pretty complete and it is nice to see this item available here on ROASTe.
QUALITY (on Stainless Steel Pitc...)
intrepid510 | intrepid510 | Wed, 02/01/2012These are good quality pitchers, however like others have noted this is a really large pitcher and really should only be used by someone with a big machine. In a machine like a Gaggia you are going to run out of steam before you get the milk hot enough.
NICE SIZE (on Stainless Steel Pitc...)
intrepid510 | intrepid510 | Wed, 02/01/2012At twenty ounces this pitcher does well for steaming ten ounces, which would be good for a 12 ounce latte. The spout is good for pouring steamed milk and making latte art.
WORKS WELL (on Cafiza 20 OZ Bottle)
avaserfi | avaserfi | Sat, 01/28/2012I cafiza once a week to backflush my machines. Daily, I backflush with water. While I don't have too much residue, the cafiza cuts through coffee oils better than anything else I've tried. Well worth keeping around.
LA PAVONA (on La Pavoni La Moka Co...)
Deep Cello Coffee Roasters | Deep Cello Coffee Roasters | Tue, 01/17/2012I keep searching for good inexpensive gear. I tried this one and it does a decent enough job of preparing the coffee. A few comments. If you can afford a more expensive unit, then that would be a better choice. The coffee appears chrushed instead of ground. The 1-10 grind setting does not appear to do much to change the grind of the coffee. The ground coffee receptacle is hard to remove from the unit to obtain your coffee. On the plus side, its quiet, it has a large bin, its attractive, and much better than the previous Braun grinder from yesteryear. If $70 bucks is what you have to spend, then its a good grinder. It's not anywhere near as good as the Rancilio, but if you are on a budget, its ok and works fine!
VERSATILE (on 2 Sided Espresso Sco...)
EricBNC | EricBNC | Wed, 01/04/2012Very nice 2 Sided Espresso Scoop - this is a must have item for any espresso buff - the smaller side is designed to hold enough for a single shot while the larger side is designed to measure for a double shot - versatile.
GOLD STANDARD (on Cappuccino Spoons Go...)
EricBNC | EricBNC | Wed, 01/04/2012These cappuccino spoons have a Gold Finish that adds a touch of class an elegance to the presentation of a well made cappuccino - makes a great gift item and with 12 per pack you will have enough to go around on those special occasions.
NICE SIZE (on Stainless Steel Knoc...)
EricBNC | EricBNC | Mon, 01/02/2012This Stainless Steel Knock Box is nicely built big knock box - look at the dimensions - a foot long, half a foot wide - this is designed for use in a busy cafe - it should last a long time in a light duty home application - nice base comes with it too so the counters wont get scratched up.
GOLDEN SPOONS (on Espresso Spoons Gold...)
EricBNC | EricBNC | Mon, 01/02/2012These Espresso Spoons are adorned with Gold accents close to the Round Bottom which makes this set of twelve (set to the right in the photo) tasteful and understated but with also with a touch of elegance - these are smaller than regular spoons so no soup lovers please. ; )
GREAT SET (on Stainless Steel Espr...)
EricBNC | EricBNC | Mon, 01/02/2012These Stainless Steel Espresso Spoons (set of 12) look tasteful and understated and would not detract from your demitasse - this is the middle design in the photo - these are small compared to regular spoons but are the right size for espresso.
BEAUTIFUL (on Espresso Spoons Gold...)
EricBNC | EricBNC | Sun, 01/01/2012These Gold Flat Bottom espresso spoons look absolutely gorgeous with their gold accented handles - note these items are small to fit on the saucer next to a small espresso cup but this set will complement latte art or simply look good for someone wanting to add sugar.
VERY SHINY (on 3 oz Stainless Steel...)
EricBNC | EricBNC | Sun, 01/01/2012I love the look of these Stainless Steel Cup & Saucers are adorned with - so shiny - a great gift idea too. Of the three cups shown in the photo this is the smallest to the right - these will hold three ounces which is perfect for a demitasse.
WHIMSICAL STYLE (on Espresso Demitasse 6...)
EricBNC | EricBNC | Sun, 01/01/2012The Californian design these Espresso Demitasse Cups and Saucers makes a great gift as it come packaged in a nice gift box - the set looks great even if you are non in the golden state - be aware if you are shopping for cups that these are small - they are designed to hold less than three ounces.
CAPTIVATING (on Espresso Cups & Sauc...)
EricBNC | EricBNC | Sun, 01/01/2012This fine porcelain set of Espresso Demitasse Cups and Saucers are adorned with the Amore heart design - perfect for espresso lovers and a great gift idea too. Be aware these are much smaller than the typical eight to twelve ounce coffee mug.
STUNNING DESIGN (on Demitasse 6-Set Suns...)
EricBNC | EricBNC | Sun, 01/01/2012The sunset design (in blue on the left in the photo) on this set of Espresso Demitasse cups and saucers look very stylish - not quite delft, but close - nice if you prefer image art over design art. Note the size though - these are quite small compared to a regular coffee cup.
BEAUTIFUL CUPS (on Espresso Demitasse M...)
EricBNC | EricBNC | Sat, 12/31/2011These Espresso Demitasse cups are adorned with a modern Flower Design that looks really nice - the shape of the cup is true to the description and for a set of six cups and six matching saucers this is a good deal.
GOOD CUP (on Stainless Steel Tum...)
Wakeknot | Wakeknot | Sat, 12/31/2011I love the idea of the clip. I do not tend to use the clip when it is full, but when empty it is a nice way to ensure the to go cup comes home again!
NICE TO GO CUP (on Stainless Steel Tum...)
Wakeknot | Wakeknot | Sat, 12/31/2011I like this cup, it is a good size and keeps heat well when on the go.
I LOVE THE COLOR (on Stainless Steel Tum...)
Wakeknot | Wakeknot | Sat, 12/31/2011this is s a good tumbler in a pleasing color. It is just what I need when I am in a rush
