Reviews De'Longhi BAR32 Retro 15 BAR Pump Espresso and Cappuccino Maker

Very nice, has been working for 2 years. I consider myself a very heavy coffee drinker and I brew a double espresso daily in the morning. There is nothing better, cheaper, and simpler than this DeLonghi Bar32 Retro 15-bar Pump-driven Espresso/Cappuccino Maker. I know it may be obvious but use ONLY filtered water for the reservoir on the back.

On the fisrt month of use I had to clean it once with white vinegar to be able to run it again. Not a complicated fix, just fill the reservoir and pour 1/4 cup of white vinegar and run it untill the reservoir empties, rinse and repeat in half an hour.

De'Longhi BAR32 Retro 15 BAR Pump Espresso and Cappuccino Maker Pros

• Excellent, strong and rich espresso if you take the time to learn to pack the notably small cups for grinds. Getting your beans ground at your shop or store seems better than grinding at home. 
• Next, it steams very quickly and you can get a fantastic froth! Most of the components that touch your milk, water, and grounds come off easily for cleaning. Keeping the machine and parts clean is vital to good consistent coffee so I really like that aspect. 
• The knob and settings are very intuitive making it very simple to use. Turn it on, give it 30 seconds or so to get hot, and get started. 
• Also, separate heat for the water to steam and the water to brew the shots makes it very easy to hash out a really quick cup of coffee! 
• Thanksgiving with 20 people over I was grateful to be able to finish each cup in less than 2 mins each.

De'Longhi BAR32 Retro 15 BAR Pump Espresso and Cappuccino Maker also doubles as a nice tea maker; My wife fills it with loose tea leafs like you'd normallly do with coffee and I must say that the brews she makes tast very good, just make sure to clean everything after using it.

Although it is true to say that a cup of coffee is only as good as the coffee you use we have tried 3 different coffees of varying price and this machine has produced an excellent expresso on all occasions. Looks good, easy to use and keep clean added to this it is moderately priced. A real winner
