Description

Brew a single or double espresso using either ground espresso or pods with this programmable espresso maker. The unit's 15 bars of pressure deliver consistently authentic espresso with excellent crema, while its stainless- steel steam nozzle makes it easy to turn an espresso drink into a frothy cappuccino or latte. Pre-programmed cup sizes include 1-1/2 ounces and 3 ounces. The espresso maker's 64-ounce reservoir removes for easy filling, and its steam button functions separately for convenience. Other highlights include a cup-warming tray on top, a removable drip tray and cover for easy cleanup, and a porta-filter holder with a locking mechanism, which makes it possible to quickly pump out wet grounds after each use. Accessories include a stainless frothing cup and a tamping tool with a measuring spoon. Beautifully designed in professional stainless-steel housing with an embossed Cuisinart logo, the espresso maker measures 10-1/2 by 9-1/4 by 12-3/4 inches and carries a three-year limited warranty. From the Manufacturer With the EM-200, Cuisinart lets you prepare gourmet quality espresso at home. With a programmable system that allows you to pre-select serving size, 15 bars of pressure for maximum flavor, and the option of using ground espresso or pods, you’re in control. A separate steam function and stainless steel nozzle make it easy to froth milk for cappuccinos and smooth lattes. With a removable drip tray and cover, and a portafilter holder with a locking mechanism that makes it easy to dispose of wet grounds after use, clean up is also quick and simple. The Quest for a Perfect Espresso It is generally agreed that there are four basic elements critical to the perfect cup: Water: When brewing espresso, make sure the water flows through the filter at the correct pace. The water flow can be adjusted by varying the pressure with which the coffee is tamped in the filter or by altering the grind of coffee. If the speed of the water is slow, the coffee will be over extracted and will be very dark and bitter, with a spotted and uneven crema (froth) on the top. If the speed of the water flow is too fast, the coffee will be under-extracted and the supreme flavor will not develop. The coffee will be diluted and there will be an inadequate amount of crema on the top. Coffee: While the bulk of the liquid is water, all of the flavor should be from the coffee. To achieve the same great quality of coffee you receive at a cafe, you need to use the same quality beans. If you choose to grind your own beans, buy the beans fresh and whole, only about a two week supply at a time for maximum freshness. Once the coffee bean is broken, its flavor degrades very quickly. If it is not practical to buy smaller supplies, we recommend you separate larger amounts of beans and store them in airtight containers in a cool, dry area. They should not be kept for longer than 1 month as flavor will diminish. Do not refrigerate or freeze coffee beans. Grind: The grind of the coffee is critical for proper flavor extraction. If using a pre-ground coffee, be sure to purchase an espresso grind that is specifically for espresso/cappuccino machines. If the grind is too fine, over extraction and bitterness will occur with a spotted and uneven crema on top. If the grind is too coarse, the water will pass through too rapidly and there will be an inadequate amount of crema on the top of the espresso. Tamping the Coffee Grounds: If you choose to use ground espresso instead of pods, tamping the coffee is a very important part of the coffee-making process. Use the scoop supplied to fill the filter basket, then using the tamping tool, tamp down the grounds with moderate pressure. Add more coffee and tamp again if necessary to bring coffee to level. Do not overfill the filter basket. The ground coffee should be tamped with moderate pressure. If the coffee is not tamped securely, there is a chance the water will flow through the coffee to rapidly and the coffee will be under-extracted. Note: if the coffee is tamped too firmly, the water will flow through the coffee too slowly and the coffee will be over-extracted. Programming Your Espresso Machine This Cuisinart espresso machine has programming capabilities. Based on cafe settings, the single and the double espresso functions are set to 1.5 and 3 ounce. However, by following a few simple steps, you can pre-program your perfect serving size down to the ounce. Easy to follow steps with illustrations are included in the Instruction Book. Milk Texturing Milk texturing is the steaming of milk. The steam does two things; its heats the milk and mixes the air with the milk for form a foamy texture. As with learning to make an espresso, perfecting the art of milk texturing takes time and practice.

Color: Stainless Steel Size: Espresso
UPDATE at the end. My machine arrived yesterday evening. I read all of the directions, watched the DVD, read the directions again, and then followed the directions while actually making a latte. To get right to the point, I was able to make a passable latte right off the bat, which I wasn't expecting. The flavor was wonderful--reminiscent of the lattes I get from independent coffee shops--not as sweet as Starbucks. (I love Starbucks, but with less sweetness, the flavor of the espresso stands out more.) My first latte was not perfect, but it was drinkable. I made some mistakes, but in my defense, the machine arrived a day earlier than expected and late in the day, and I just wanted to play with it right away. I gave this machine four stars because I don't like how the frothing wand is designed. I think all the similar machines that I researched are the same, but I wish it were up higher and would pull away from the machine more to make it easier to use. When I use it for hot water, I can only put about 4 ounces of water in the cup, because I have to tilt the cup to get it out from under the wand. It takes two or three times to fill up a cup for tea, and I have to use two cups instead of just filling up my tea cup. I also wish I could fit a taller cup under the machine or the espresso to flow into. For now I'm using the shot glass, but later on, I'd like to have the espresso flow directly into the cup I'll be using, but I'll never be able to do that since all my cups are too large (and I'll likely only ever be making lattes, so want to use a larger cup). When I began researching espresso machines, I had no idea how an espresso was made or anything about the process or what was used. I didn't even know if they used different beans or coffee blends or a different grind. I didn't know the process was different from regular coffee. I'm not a regular coffee drinker, so have made regular coffee only infrequently, and am somewhat new to espresso drinks. I've been buying them at Starbucks for a few years, but never paid attention to how they were made. When I was first buying soy lattes, I had no idea they were made with espresso and not regular coffee (and wouldn't have known the difference anyway). I really agonized over whether to buy an espresso machine or not and then which one to buy. I finally narrowed it down to two DeLonghi machines: the DeLonghi ECO310BK 15-Bar-Pump Espresso Machine, Piano Black and the DeLonghi EC702 15-Bar-Pump Espresso Maker, Stainless . I couldn't tell which one was better, and I honestly think I might have bought one of their machines a month ago, if I'd been able to make a clear decision about which one to buy. I went back and forth several times. So why did I buy this Cuisinart machine instead? It had similar reviews, but fewer complaints about customer service (it seemed--I didn't count them). It came with a limited warranty so I didn't have to pay extra for a Square Trade warranty (and deal with DeLonghi's reportedly very poor customer service during the first year, should my machine break). This machine also came with a good enough frothing pitcher and a coffee scoop with attached tamper. (Eventually I will probably buy a better tamper and coffee scoop and a larger frothing pitcher, but the ones that came with the machine work fine.) Since I'm just learning, having some of the extras come with the machine was a bonus. I also appreciated the DVD that shows how to use the machine, and the two auto shot settings are another bonus. I wasn't looking for that feature, but now I'm glad I have it. At the same time I ordered my machine, I also ordered Lavazza Dek Ground Espresso, Decaf, 8.8-Ounce , Norpro 5981 Espresso Thermometer , and Rattleware 3-Ounce RW Logo Shot Pitcher, Glass . These all proved useful. HOW I MADE MY FIRST LATTE: I followed the directions for the machine, washed the removable parts, filled it about halfway with water, and then ran some water through the machine to rinse it as per instructions. I also put some hot water in the cup I'd be using to warm it (as suggested), and then followed the directions closely to make the espresso. I put one scoop of coffee grounds into the one-shot filter. I tamped it gently. I wasn't sure if I'd used enough coffee. It was a full scoop, but once I tamped it down, it looked like less than what was used on the DVD. I had some trouble getting the portafilter holder attached to the machine. There's a little thing that slides (I thought) to hold the filter on, but it prevented the portafilter holder from fitting onto the machine. My daughter and I fiddled around with it and finally she figured out that I had this little thing in the wrong position. (I had put the portafilter holder on and taken it off a few times already, so I'm not sure why I had trouble this time.) I turned the machine on, but couldn't get it to work. Even though I was following the directions, I got confused and I'm still not sure what I did wrong at first. I ended up turning the machine off, taking the water tank off and putting it back on (this did nothing, but the lady in the DVD filled her tank after turning the machine on, so I figured what the heck), and eventually it worked. I pressed the single-shot button and the machine made businesslike noises. The espresso came out looking as it said it should: "The ideal pour is dark and caramel with reddish reflections." It also had a nice crema on top. I followed the instructions for steaming the milk, but again I had trouble with the machine not working the way I expected. I had chilled the pitcher (which I wouldn't have known except for Amazon reviews), but I didn't realize the milk had to be chilled. We use unsweetened almond milk most of the time, but there wasn't enough left in the carton from the refrigerator to make the latte. I had purchased some vanilla almond milk and vanilla soy milk but hadn't thought to chill them. I ended up using the rest of the unsweetened milk and a little bit of the unchilled vanilla soy milk mixed in. I let the water in the steamer out, and then began steaming my milk. I had a lot of trouble keeping the steaming wand in the milk and moving the milk cup around without bumping it into the machine. I did move the wand around and held the pitcher steady as instructed by the DVD, but this movement was unsatisfactory. I also stopped and started a few times, and each time, I couldn't get the steamer to start working again without shutting off the machine, then turning it back on and waiting for the machine to be ready, then pressing the steam button and waiting for that to be ready. Then I ran out of water in the machine. It never occurred to me that I would use up half a tank of water preparing the machine and making one latte. I shut it off, added water, and started over again. I had the abovementioned problem continuing with steaming after stopping the machine. I also had trouble keeping the thermometer in the pitcher while frothing the milk. My mistakes and confusion meant it took me a long time to froth the milk and I finally gave up without the milk frothed completely or correctly. I put the espresso in my heated cup and then poured the frothed milk on top. I mixed it together (not sure if one is supposed to do that?) and then spooned some into another cup for my daughter to try. I added a little bit of sugar, and it was done. The espresso wasn't as hot anymore and the milk never got quite to the right temperature, but the flavor was good. Overall, it took me a little bit of time and my latte wasn't perfect, but I loved the flavor, and I'm sure I will do better next time and get used to the steps to froth the milk. I'm going to practice making just frothed milk later for hot chocolate. Cleanup was a bit of a pain, but not too bad. I can now see the benefit of the automatic pod machines, though. They are probably faster, easier, and have little cleanup. UPDATE: I've had the machine for about five days now and made several lattes including a mocha. I've learned a few things: 1. My first latte was a little weak, because I didn't use enough espresso. I now use a rounded scoopful and this seems just right. 2. I tamp it down carefully, not too much. Once I tamped it a bit too much and the espresso sprayed a little when it first came out and the shot glass moved a little, so the first bit went partially into the drip tray. I still used the shot and it was still okay, but just not as good as it could have been. 3. Make sure the shot glass (if using) is in the right position. Sometimes when the machine turns on, the vibration moves the shot glass. I keep an eye on it, and even hold it into position. I suppose I could try having the shots go directly into a cup, but I love seeing the shots pour into the clear shot glass. 4. I'm still having a little trouble with the steamer. I use only soy milk or almond milk. It takes a bit to heat it up to temperature, and I find it froths up too quickly and wants to froth over the top of the pitcher before the milk is heated to the right temperature. I still plan to get a larger pitcher soon, but I'm not sure if that will work, since the space to work the frother is so cramped. I still can't seem to manage it withing banging the frother onto the side of the machine or the drip tray as I'm trying to pull the pitcher down. I think I'll get better at this after a while, but frothing the milk is still the most challenging part for me. 5. I thought I'd use unsweetened soy or almond milk and then add sugar as needed, but I find the sweetened vanilla milks make perfect lattes without adding any additional sweetener. The almond milk I have contains 15 grams of sugar in a cup, so since I'm using only 4 ounces, that's 7 1/2 grams, which is not too bad. The sweetened soy milk has only 4 grams of sugar in a half cup. I've used both soy and almond milks and they both make lovely lattes. If I had to choose, I'd say that soy froths up nicer. 6. I bought some Starbucks hot chocolate packets at the local grocery store so that I could make hot chocolate using steamed milk for my husband who does not like coffee or espresso. It came out awesome, but I also noticed directions on the packets to make your own mocha. I tried it, and it was wonderful. I used the whole packet and it tasted exactly like at Starbucks mocha to me. I made one for my daughter and she said hers was better than store bought. 7. Cleanup can still be a bit of a pain, but I usually clean the whole machine and wash all the parts right after making my drink, because I don't want to have to get up and do it later. I'm also afraid I'd forget, so it's just easier to do it right away. ... show more

  • a well thought out and good product
Color: Stainless Steel, Manual Size: Espresso
UPDATE June 24, 2010 I am not sure about this product even though it makes a good cup of coffee. I notice a small puddle of water underneath it everyday on my counter top! It collects on the grout between my tiles, which is not good. The puddle appears to come from a leak. ------- After using Cuisinart EM-100 for a month I can say that it can make delicious coffee comparable to that bought in a coffee shop. I continue to be happy with the purchase, after using the espresso maker and getting to know it well. * Ease of use The espresso maker has many nice and useful touches. It is simple and fool proof to operate, which helps when making coffee when one is not fully awake. The controls allow one to continue or to stop pouring coffee, water, or steam when one wants to. A regular 8 ounce cup fits easily under the portafilter. Other nice touches are that the water tank can easily be removed or put back, and the drip tray can be slipped out easily and washed off. The length of the steam/hot water nozzle is suited to the frothing pitcher included in the purchase and is not really a problem in my experience. The espresso maker is fairly quiet. It makes hot water and steam in an amazingly short time. I'd say in less than a minute; perhaps the solid 1000W specification has something to do with the internal boiler. * Preparation and clean up The preparation process for making espresso is very short: just pour water in the tank if there isn't enough left over from before, fill a clean portafilter with ground coffee and attach it in place, wait about a minute, turn the dial for coffee, and it pours out into the cup, presto! Clean up is simple: the screen above the portafilter, the steamer nozzle and the portafilter need to be cleaned, all of which are easy to do. * Coffee grind and clogging All that is needed to make good coffee with the coffee maker, is to use the right grind of coffee, since everything else has been made simple to do. Some suggest that a burr grinder is required to grind the beans for superior coffee. It takes a short learning process to find the correct fineness of grind to make good coffee. I found that the finer the grind the tastier the coffee. A word of caution, as with any espresso maker, too fine a grind (Turkish grind, but not Espresso grind) will clog the basket for the portafilter and coffee will not pour out. I have now learned how fine to grind my coffee so that particles do not get through the holes of the strainer in the basket and get trapped inside its double wall. When it is clogged, the pressure created by the pump can make it hard to remove the portafilter, but it must be removed in order to take steps to unclog it. This issue would be the same with any espresso maker. Instructions and a pin are sensibly provided. I was able to unclog the basket for the portafilter with the pin, so that one can make a mistake and recover from it. It has not been my experience, as a couple of other reviewers have claimed, that you cannot tell when the pressure is more than usual, and coffee explodes as you remove the portafilter. If the portafilter is not clogged, it requires little effort to remove it, and there is no explosion or mess involved. However, if it is clogged, you will find from the outset that you need to use much more force, enough to tell the difference, due to the pressure created by the clog. When I removed a badly clogged portafilter, the coffee grounds stayed in the portafilter, and there was no mess to clean up. The high pressure that is naturally developed due to clogging makes it a problem to remove the portafilter. I once turned the machine off and waited for 15 minutes, and still found that the pressure was high. I haven't tried this, but if the water from the tank is emptied by passing it through the nozzle for example using the hot water setting, perhaps the pressure in the portafilter could be reduced enough to make it easier to remove a clogged portafilter. * Tips on using hot water and steam for a hot cup of coffee If one uses a cold cup and cold cream directly from the refrigerator, one's espresso will naturally not be as hot as one might want. I use the hot water to heat up the cup first of all. I leave the hot water in to warm up the cup, until after I steam up the milk to heat it. I then move the dial to making espresso and proceed to pouring the coffee. Doing things in this order, heats up the boiler more and gets the water hotter. A good froth can be made with steam, with the normal amount of noise caused by bubbling steam through cream, otherwise the unit if fairly quiet. I use the steam more to heat up the cream which is cold from the refrigerator, than for making a froth. * Making more than one cup at a time For making several cups of espresso in a row, the portafilter can be safely and easily removed as soon as one is made, so that you can go on to making the next one, and so on. The water tank is large enough for making several cups. The protafilter is naturally hot for a while after making a cup of coffee, so be aware of it while handling. ... show more

  • It gets the job done for an affordable machine
Color: Stainless Steel, Manual Size: Espresso
The media could not be loaded. My first and only espresso machine. Therefore, I can’t make comments on other machines or comparisons, but I can talk a little bit about this one. First off, You get what you pay for, but it does the job! Why do I say that? It’s definitely a LOUD machine that’s why I’m giving it 4 stars, but taking it’s not a $500+ machine, I’ll deal with the noise. Other than that once you watch plenty of youtube videos on how to pull a proper espresso shot and steam milk for your cappuccinos or lattes this machine will do it for you. The more you use it and practice with it, cleaning will become easier and faster. Don’t buy this machine if you want a fast cup of coffee, it will require more than a couple of minutes of your day to get your cup, but 100% worth it! We love it at home and as you can see, after pulling over 10 shots 😅 and practicing my milk steaming I got me a decent latte and it tasted just like my favorite local coffee shop! 😍🤤 On that note, buy beans from your local coffee roaster, the quality of them will take your coffee to the next level. I’m not sure if this applies to all coffee beans but as I was practicing with store bought beans from a big company the beans were very very oily so I was struggling to get a good shot out and cleaning the portafilter was a pain. Once I got my local beans it made all the difference. Hope this helps someone else interested on buying this machine. ... show more
