Espresso Machines

I bought this espresso machine for use at my office. Approximately 15 people use the machine, requiring a total of about 30 shots per day. The machine has held up nicely so far (bought in June 2010). We clean the brew unit weekly and the shot size seems to change based on the time between cleaning. Meaning, the shot size is very large just after cleaning and reduces as the week progresses. Overall a great espresso machine. Niza schooma, good flavour, reliable (so far)."..."  Read more

While we wstill lived in Europe we used to own one of these, it gave 5 years flawless performance and was passed on to a younger sister-in-law and is still going without a glitch. I do not know if this one will be as reliable, but after a few weeks of heavy usage, no problem. The product it delivers is just as good as our old one! -Espresso - our reason #1 for buying this machine. Just try it! Nowhere in north America can you buy a cup with crema this thick and delicious. -Capuccino - a bit so-so, you get a lot of foam but not very thick, or may be it's just my technique. -Filter coffee - very good, the 1-5 cups option and the timer are great features. -Hot water - here's a tip, do not use the espresso boiler for hot water (can still get a coffee aroma), do like many baristas - use the (clean) steam nozzle to heat your water super-quick, as you would with milk. Works like a wonder. DO give the machine a good "fuel" - buy a real espresso blend or ask for an espresso roast and a suitable grind too, to get the best results."..."  Read more

I've been using my Atomic for a few months now and am so impressed with this machine. The La Sorrentina Atomic Coffee Maker is a the latest version of the Atomic Coffee Machine that has been around since the 1940's. The original design, by Giordano Robbiati has been produce worldwide, with the oldest model's now highly collectable. This version is produced by Ikon Exports in Australia, and is of the highest quality. It pulls great shots of espresso and is marvelous to look at when not in use. Owning one of these and learning the history of the Atomic has been fascinating. I highly recommend this machine."..."  Read more

This is a great little espresso machine, doesn't take up too much room. Read all instructions before use to get the best results. Steam will run out too soon for milk if machine is not prepped properly. Warm up time is quick. Great tasting espresso."..."  Read more
