DeLonghi BAR 32

Pros: very easy to use and clean - especially with pods

Cons: noisy machine and the frothing delivery arm gets really hot!

The Bottom Line: This is a great, pump-driven espresso machine with a frothing attachment. Simple to use and easy to clean.

Review: We received the Delonghi Retro Pump Espresso machine as a wedding gift several months ago. After ca ...

Pros: Makes a wonderful latte.

Cons: A bit noisy and vibrates when pump is in use.

The Bottom Line: I would recommend this machine if you are not a pro at making espresso and you want a quality tasting espresso or latte.

Review: I received this machine for Christmas from my Dad. I was quite impressed with it from the beginning. I have never owned an espresso machine of my own, even though I am a huge coffee lover. I have two coffee makers in my kitchen to keep up with me and ...

Pros: Great espresso, thick crema, beautiful to look at. Best machine I have ever owned.

Cons: Confusing instruction manual, useless "pod" holder for people who don't know how to scoop coffee.

The Bottom Line: This machine is easily worth spending a few extra dollars over the cheaper pump espresso machines.

Review: This is my third DeLonghi espresso machine over a period of about ten years. I work at home, so my espresso machines get a workout. I've had this one for about a week now, and have been totally satisfied thus far. This makes the best espresso and latté ...

Pros: Easy to use & clean Clear reservoir Impresses friends & relatives

Cons: Plastic parts feel a little cheap Other machines were cheaper larger mugs won't fit

The Bottom Line: Love it! It met my expectations, and surpassed them. I love how easy it is to clean, and how delicious the final products are.

Review: I bought this little machine after doing a lot of research. It produces wonderful shots of espresso (if you tamp the grounds down with the right amount of pressure) with a lot of crema. There is no timer on the espresso, so you can judge for yourself ...

Pros: Great espresso, easy to use, great froth, great bargain.

Cons: The warmup time, short frothing arm, need to take plastic base out for larger cups.

The Bottom Line: This is a steal of an espresso machine. The price was great and it performs like a pro with very few low points.

Review: I had been making espresso with a Moko expess for quite a while and when it came time to make a change, I studied for months for a machine that was inexpensive yet versatile. The Bar32 came at a GREAT price ($30! on Ebay) plus it works every bit as ...

Pros: Delicious espresso/cappuccino/latte. easy to use and clean up. Durable.

Cons: A little noisy, water tank could be better quality, frothing arm could be higher.

The Bottom Line: Its a great machine! If i as a beginner can do it in one try, anyone can. Makes great coffee drinks. Reasonable price even at brand new pricing

Review: I have NEVER made espresso, cappuccino or latte before and this was my first attempt. I couldnt see paying the prices at the coffee shops when you can make it at home. so i started researching the machines and I ended up with this product after ALOT of ...

Pros: Quick and easy to use. Makes a great capo and espresso.

Cons: It's a little loud.

Review: This is a wonderful machine which I cannot believe I lived without it for so long. I buy Starbucks Italian roast coffee and fill up the holders instead of using the expensive pods. I like it much better because I can adjust just how strong to make ...

Pros: Great tasting espresso and very easy to use.

Cons: takes up a bit more space on the counter than the Krups pump.

Review: My DeLonghi makes me glad my Krups pump machine bit the dust. This is soooo much better! Better crema, and much better frother than the Krups "perfect frother" produced! Starbucks doesn't call to me in the morning any ...

Pros: Inexpensive, makes a quality espresso, easy to use

Cons: a touch loud

Review: I picked this us just the other day and have'nt gotten my hands off of it since. I am by no means a coffee buff, but rather someone who was tired of spending upwards of $5 for something I could make on my own. I chose DeLonghi on its reputation, as ...

Pros: Great delicious espresso coffee

Cons: The pump makes some noise, but not bad. Would love to find a silent machine.

Review: This model looks exactly like the 42Bar and other retro machines. It makes creamy coffee 200 times better than the same type model from Krups (my sister has Krups, I gave it to her for Christmas but overpaid for it considering the type of coffee Krups ...
