Cafe Roma Deluxe Espresso Machine with Grinder

 

The Espressione Café Roma Deluxe offers some of the best features available in a semi-automatic espresso machine giving it the ability to produce café quality espresso in the home environment. With its built in conical burr grinder the machine has capabilities extended far above other machines that cost twice as much. The grinder offers the option of grinding directly into your group handle or dispensing the perfect amount with the interchangeable dispenser. The machine also has a large 1 pound bean hopper and 14 grind settings to further complement the individuals grind preference from course to very fine espresso.

The machine is well equipped with an 8oz boiler and a very powerful 15-BAR pump. For those that don’t understand exactly having a 15-BAR pump means, it is actually quite easy to understand. The higher the bars the more pressures used to push the heated water through the espresso coffee grind. Steam machines that have no pump generally will release water and steam through the grounds at about 2 to 3 Bars. Having higher pressures to force the water through creates better tasting espresso and more lush crema which for many is the Crème de la Crema.

15-bar pressure is purported to be the optimal pressure for extracting the best espresso. Personally I find that amount of pressure to be a wee bit too high. And aficionados will probably concur with me on that point. But adjusting the grind and pack of the coffee, can make this machine very workable for a middle of the road machine. Higher end espresso machines will have a pressure release or over pressure diverter that will relieve excess pressure back into the water reservoir.

This isn’t what one would call an official review, as I actually don’t own one of these machines but I have a friend who does. Spending as much time at his house as I do, between the two of us we have come up with I won’t say the perfect formula, but a very good working formula for grind and pack that allows this machine to make a very fine cup of Espresso.

But don’t forget it does more. Like any good machine it also does frothing for Cappuccino and other milk forth drinks and does it quite nicely with it pro type pull down handle. I really like the removable water tank. My last machine didn’t have a removable tank. And no matter how pure the water is that you use in your machine, the water tanks will need to be cleaned at some point. The removable tank makes it so easy.

Its counter top foot print is not nearly as big as some other machines of its quality and or price range. For the money, it’s a pretty good machine.The Cafe Roma Deluxe Espresso Machine with Grinder will be hard to equal given the quality and features this little machine sports.

A Unique Marketing Spin for a Coffee Shop

A Unique Marketing Spin for a Coffee ShopThree business partners contacted me about creating a marketing plan for a coffee shop that they were opening in Greenwich Village in New York City. They had already leased a 3000 sq. foot space, which is very large for a coffee shop. They had not worked out what type of food or coffee they would serve. The location was too large for it to survive as just a coffee shop something extra would have to be added.
