    Good Points: No fuss espresso


    Bad Points: None


    General comments: I was a little unsure which coffee maker to purchase as the technique varies so much between different makers, the Presso is just such a simple solution.

It really is a great piece of equipment - a f ...

    The Presso is an excellent entry into the world of espresso, without the large cash outlay required to own the much more expensive quality electric machines. While I have not owned a "real" espresso machine, I have had the stovetop units and the cheap electric espresso makers, and the Presso is much superior to those.
    It is really a masterpiece of industrial design - simple, effective, solid, and attractive looking. It is easy to clean, b/c it is small and light enough to turn upside down and ...
