Posted in Delonghi, Espresso Machine on 29 July 2010
Italian espresso machine models have long been associated with product quality and elegance in design. This is particularly true of Delonghi espresso machines. The Delonghi name has been a leading brand in appliances for over a hundred years now, and the name has carried a reputation for style and superiority for the same length of time.
Delonghi espresso machines, in particular, have been beautifully designed and painstakingly assembled by hand. Each product is first tested for its ability to brew the perfect cup of coffee before it is packaged and sent out into the market.
Delonghi espresso machines come in an assortment of models, such as drip coffee makers, steam-powered or pump-powered espresso machines, and even combination machines. A Delonghi combination machine is one of the most impressive of the brand's espresso machine line. It has been designed as a 3-in-1 device that can brew espresso, coffee, and cappuccino simultaneously, making it one of the most hardworking espresso machines in the market today.
Most of the Delonghi espresso machines offer coffee lovers a 6-cup espresso capacity that can brew hot caffeinated beverages in the span of mere minutes. Brewing amount and strength can be adjusted with the server control dials, and espresso can be reheated with the instant reheat feature. In fact, the Delonghi Magnificia Automatic has a top-of-the-line system that makes a freshly brewed cup of espresso straight from coffee beans that it grinds within the machine itself.
All of Delonghi's espresso machines also feature safety devices that automatically turn off the espresso machine when it has finished brewing.
Posted in Espresso Machine, Rancilio on 20 July 2010
If you are the kind of coffee lover who prefers a heavyweight, the Rancilio espresso machine would be your espresso machine of choice. This brand is stylishly designed in heavy brass. The more brass an espresso machine has, the better its temperature stability.
The Rancilio espresso machine has both its grouphead and boiler securely attached to each other. This results in exceptional heat tranfer for a steaming cup of hot espresso. This brand also has a thermostat whose wide range of “hot” and “cold” provides you with the temperature of your preference.
The Rancillo espresso machine makes creating milk-based coffee beverages an art form in itself. Many espresso drinkers liken adding milk to a Rancillo machine coffee brew akin to pouring rich sauce on a T-bone steak or prime rib.
The steaming performance of a Rancillo espresso machine will produce a wonderful latte or cappuccino with its single boiler. In a brief minute or two, you can have two milk-based drinks to enjoy.
The thermostat feature of the Rancilio espresso machine enables you to get that exact temperature you require, especially if you are able to start the coffee extraction at the very same instant as the heating cycle of its boiler. For picky coffee ethusiasts, this method is called “temperature surfing”, and it is apparent that the Rancillio espresso machine brand has manufactured its models in perfection of this technique.
If you are looking to achieve espresso nirvana, simply use a coffee bean grinder and go “temperature surfing” on your Rancillo to own a small piece of coffee heaven.
