If you like Latte, Cappuccino and Espresso and think you need three machines to do it right, think again. The Delonghi BAR32 can make all three--easily from the one machine. If you are a coffee jockey you might still prefer three professional tools – but this espresso machine is just fine for most of us.
The DeLonghi BAR32 Pump Espresso Machine is a pump driven Espresso Machine that promises to make coffee preparation easier while producing delicious authentic Italian style coffees. Those who consider themselves “coffee snobs” (to put it in the words of one overjoyed customer) insist that the best coffee comes from a pump driven coffee preparation – but of course – such things are a matter of taste.
The yuppie in all of us likes to buy our coffee out from time to time – but the plain truth is that such coffee is expensive. For the most part, the savings that one gets from preparing coffee at home saves just too much money to ignore. Despite these savings, one still wants to treat their caprices to a rich, hot cup of authentic coffee – and the heck with savings if this is not possible.
Thanks to the The DeLonghi BAR32 Pump Espresso Machine, this is very possible. While no coffee maker can read your mind, this espresso machine provides all the tools you need to make the perfect cup of espresso – assuming that you understand how to make the perfect cup of espresso.
The De'Longhi BAR32 comes with a steam wand and a built-in tamper so that everything you need to make the perfect cup of coffee is in one place. The separate temperature regulators really do contribute to making the perfect brew so kudos to DeLonghi for tossing this in. The Espresso Machine features a large reservoir so that you can make up to eight espressos with one fill – should circumstances demand it.
The frothing wand deserves particular mention. Frothing your latte is the hardest skill to master for most people. It takes time to get it right – and even then, there are no guarantees – except apparently – with this wand. Customers remark how easy it is to froth milk with this wand, when the frothing wand on most machines is likely the principle target of criticism.
Lastly, let us just mention the amazon price of around $85 bucks – a VERY fair price for a good coffee maker – and an unbelievable bargain for a flexible espresso machine that can make cappuccino and lattes equally fast and efficiently.
Customer Reviews
The DeLonghi BAR32 Pump Espresso Machine receives 3.8 stars from earlier customers – but this is not really too surprising. In fact, this is probably a nice score for a coffee pot.
You see, coffee makers have a hard existence. Nobody trusts them. A person can be using the best coffee machine in the world – and still complain that the coffee sucks. It is sort of like wine tasting. Experts will agree across the board that a wine – vintaged (maybe)1937 – is all the rage – when most of us just taste a bottle full of vinegar.
So, it is with coffee. Before we will get a great cup of coffee – we need to know how to make a great cup of coffee – and we need to understand how to do it using the machine on the counter. Your old machine is dead. Bury it honorably and move on. As regards the coffee machine, all we can do is to consult expert “wine tasters” and if they agree that the pot produces great coffee, then it would seem that we have our answer.
Because of this, the reviews at amazon are likely more skewed toward the negative than with most other products. Nevertheless, if one reads them through with care, something interesting emerges. It quickly becomes obvious that the complaints are more a matter of taste than a complaint about the quality of the machine.
In fact, many of these customer complaints take time to compliment the machine quality, and even the taste of the coffee it brews - while their specific complaint focuses on a failed part, a broken product (possibly occurring in transit), customer service etc.
Here is an example of a typical “complaint”.
- **”This machine is an entry-level Espresso Machine, lots of plastic parts, sadly there is no cup warmer on the top of the machine like in higher priced models but the espresso and cappuccino it produces is sufficient.”
… I mean – whose side are they on?
Some customers complain that the coffee is weak, but that is a matter of taste, with which the overwhelming numbers of customers do not agree. There are some hit and miss leaks (steam leaks from the frothing wand, for example), but these complaints are few and varied with no sense of consistency. If we could say to you that there are forty complaints focusing on leaks between the handle and the pot then this would be a problem but this is not so.
Most customers are very pleased with this machine. Their comments show excitement – and that is a good thing. Other customers say…
- **”It's very easy to use and produces a beautiful espresso and cappuccino.”
- **”I have had this machine for a year now and use it daily. It is still making an excellent espresso.”
- **”Great price and a powerful little machine makes a wonderful espresso.”
So, if these people feel this way after spending over eighty dollars – we feel certain that this product can hold its own against any reasonably priced Espresso Machine on the market.
If you want to start making latte, cappuccino, espresso, and similar coffees at home – what’s stopping you? This does not mean that you cannot still take the yuppie in you out for a fix – but you needn’t spend your life savings to enjoy a decent cup of coffee. With the DeLonghi BAR32 Pump Espresso Machine on your kitchen counter – you and your yuppie can both have what you want.
Have fun!
