Saeco Starbucks Sirena Espresso Machine

$320.00 Est. at Amazon

from Douglas, www.cooking.com
i recommend a good quality burr grinder also, like i have read in other reviews.go to the starbucks site (http://www.starbucks.com/flash/sirena/default.htm) and watch the videos on setting up & using
from Geoffrey, www.cooking.com
the first was that the machine was selling in the stores for the same amount as paid on-line but had the expresso accessory kit (344406), grinder and coffee.
from www.amazon.com
next, you need to get yourself a quality burr grinder...and don't let anybody tell ya different, the proper grind is more important than the espresso machine itself!!
from www.amazon.com
it came with a starbuck's burr grinder and 2# coffee beans for $299.
from www.amazon.com
now i just grind the coffee, scoop it into the portafilter, attach it to the machine, and push a button to pull the shot.

Saeco Spidem Villa Super Automatic Espresso

$499.00 Est. at Amazon

from www.overstock.com
the only thing i would change is that it should give you the option of using ground coffee and not just beans.
from www.amazon.com
from a cold start (that is if you have the machine turned off), it will grind and brew a cup in under two minutes.
from www.amazon.com
nothing last forever and it finally developed a grinding noise inside, and we opted for a new one--although this might have been repaired for a couple hundred dollars.
from www.amazon.com
and even then i can't be sure when a new scoop of beans are in the grinder because you pour the new beans on top of the ones.
from www.amazon.com
had to tweak the grinder a bit to get the coffee to come out with a nice crema.

DeLonghi EC155 Espresso Machine

$110.00 Est. at Amazon

from www.amazon.com
i got a capresso burr grinder for the espresso and a tamper and it took 5 shots (different grinds) to get that perfect three layer shot, but it is possible.
from www.amazon.com
the only complaint is, i cannot use coffee that is ground on the "espresso" setting because it is too fine and the water cannot seep through.
from www.amazon.com
it tends to boost the espresso grounds even more to give a ton of crema.
from www.amazon.com
it makes very good espresso from both fresh ground beans or from e.s.e.
from www.amazon.com
we use safeway brand french roast which is not a very fine grind and it makes us great coffee or espresso.

Saeco A-SP-SV Espresso Machine

$600.00 Est. at Amazon

from www.amazon.com
it's good that it has the automatic bean grinder too.
from www.amazon.com
it does take some experimentation for the first few cups to achieve your desired brew/grind settings.
from www.amazon.com
it was a bit better so i started making the grind finer.
from www.amazon.com
the buttons are a bit flimsy and i wish it could accept ground coffee rather than beans-only.

Cuisinart EM-100 Stainless Steel Espresso Machine

$200.00 Est. at Amazon

from www.amazon.com
some of the things i like most: (i) easy to load and unload the ground coffee; (ii) works reliably; and (iii) makes a mean cup of really creamy espresso.
from www.amazon.com
we've used all the filter sizes with ground espresso and pods.
from www.amazon.com
neither brand was capable of processing an espresso grind.
from www.amazon.com
#3 you have to be really careful to not overtamp your grounds or you'll end out with coffee everywhere - this machine is a little pickier than i expected (and pickier than the really cheap machine
from www.amazon.com
leaking water reservoir, "exploding" grounds).

from www.amazon.com
as anyone trained in specialty coffee would know, water pressure, water temperature and coffee grind are very important.
from www.amazon.com
that will be great for those who like to buy fresh roasted beans and grind their own.
from www.amazon.com
no more fighting on where to put all those coffee grinds in the bottom of your coffee press!
from www.amazon.com
i like the idea i do not have to touch grounds in the morning like with the aeropress.

it grinds fresh coffee beans, tamps automatically either one cup or two cups worth, then brews the coffee to our own taste and measure, then disposes of the used coffee grounds,in less than 30 seconds
from www.amazon.com
i've also used a locally available pre-ground decaf espresso in the by-pass doser with good results.

the machine starts with whole beans of your choosing and grinds them just for the drink you are making.

no mess, no coffee grounds to worry about and the best of all, it practically takes care of itself.
from www.amazon.com
i don't have the space on my countertop for a giant coffeemaker, and i don't want to mess with measuring and coffee grounds--which is especially annoying when you're doing it for one person for one
from www.amazon.com
what a mess to grind beans and make a pot, only to throw most of it out!
from www.amazon.com
now i can pick out k-cup (of the assortment that it came with), pop it in and have my one cup of wonderful brewed coffee - no grounds to dump and filter to clean, no pot to wash out.
from www.amazon.com
i fill it with ground coffee the night before, then in the morning add water and push the button.

from www.amazon.com
a permanent filter (some fine grounds do make it through, however) is included.
from www.amazon.com
two things to be aware of: it is very important to get the grind right, since a too-fine grind will clog the gold filter right away.
from www.amazon.com
specifically, i have my own grinder and didn't want to pay an extra $30-$40 for something i won't use.
from www.amazon.com
* gold filter: no grounds yet - i use auto-drip grind (medium); seems to work better than other gold filters i've used in the past.
from www.amazon.com
- coffee must not be too finely ground or the same problem will happen

Bodum Kenya 10 Cup

$28.00 Est. at Amazon

from www.amazon.com
it produces a fabulous pot of coffee and the tiny bit of extra effort w/ grinding my own beans, heating the water, & hand-washing is definitely well worth it.
from www.amazon.com
used it with tea bags and regular ground coffee too and it worked great!
from www.amazon.com
no coffee grounds getting out and ending up in the coffee cup.
from www.amazon.com
buy your coffee freshly ground at the coarsest setting and you will love the "clarity" of the coffee (less sediment & grounds) and the flavor is incomparable.
from www.amazon.com
i have a blade grinder and my beans were the last of the batch and really not all that fresh, but...the coffee still tasted better than the drip pot with commercially ground canned coffee.

Cuisinart Thermal 10-Cup Programmable Coffeemaker

$79.00 Est. at Amazon

from www.amazon.com
i did receive the gold tone filter with my maker, i still use the paper filters since the gold filter is not fine enough for my choice of grind.
from www.amazon.com
the only difference between our grind & brew model at home and this new coffee maker is the new carafe weighs substantially less, but i don't notice any decrease in its ability to keep the coffee hot.
from www.amazon.com
third, i decided to try the permanent filter even though i had a fear it would leave grounds.
from www.amazon.com
it has a permanent gold mesh filter, which is nice, but to clean out the coffee grounds requires more water in the sink.
from www.amazon.com
does take a little extra rinsing versus my old flat-bottomed one - the plastic across the bottom impedes the water flow a bit and you have to flip and swish it some to get all the old grounds out.

from www.amazon.com
i think it makes a stronger brew with paper because it holds the water on the coffee grounds longer...same with any coffee maker.
from www.amazon.com
it doesn't brew the best coffee unless you use a coffee filter in it and grind your coffee to fine.
from www.amazon.com
note: be sure to use just the right amount of coffee otherwise the coffee won't brew right and grinds will get everywhere!
from www.amazon.com
i like that you can use either pods or a coffee filter with your own ground coffee.
from www.amazon.com
when i opened the machine to see why the coffee wasn't coming out, i saw that all the water had collected at the top of the filter and essentially couldn't make it's way through the coffee grinds
