Summary: Best lit' coffee pot alive..... 2008-11-18
Comment: My Sicilian grandmother said sometimes simpler is better. This demi tasse pot rocks and makes a delicious cup of coffee. Don't waste tons of money on ridiculously expensive super duper espresso machines because you will never replicate what you get at a real espresso bar. This is all you need in life. I use it every morning and it's fast and easy to clean. On days you don't feel like "pumping" your milk, don't forget to give yourself a shot of sambuca. (Lemon rinds are a American thing, Italian's don't use them.) Also, I like to use Lavazza brand espresso. Enjoy!

Summary: Great Purchase! 2008-11-10
Comment: This is one my favorites! Give it as a gift as often as I can and everyone always enjoys it, as now they can make my "special" coffee at their own homes!! Have had my set for over three and a half years and it still works beautifully. Should also purchase replacement gaskets for the coffee maker when ordering as they do need changed out every so often.

Summary: A very good milk frother 2008-09-28
Comment: I used this product before and I really like the milk frother, which I use for capuccino.
I noticed the teflon is wearing down very quickly. I used to have a European version of this product which did not wear down for years.
In addition and thats the main problem, for me the Maccinata is just a waste of money, I actually only wanted the frother.
The frother performance is superb, just like a professional espresson machine.

Summary: best product out there for super creamy cappuccino 2008-09-14
Comment: I discovered this item when I was subletting an apartment in Germany. The people from whom we were renting had a standard cappuccino maker with a side steamer, but the steamer wasn't working well. I asked the apartment owner if there was a trick to the machine, and she pointed me to this amazing frother.
It does require a significant amount of effort to get truly thick, foamy milk, but it will happen. Fill it about a third of the way with cold whole milk for a large sized cup (or two smalls), heat and pump somewhat continuously after a few minutes. Once the milk expands to a few inches from the top and is hot, take off the heat, then pump until you see very soft peaks at the top. The best cappuccino ever awaits.
The tuttocrema in this size is not as good for 2 as for one if you are using large cups. They sell a larger version in New Zealand and South Africa, and perhaps in Germany (they strangely don't sell this at all in Italy, to our great disappointment), but it is hard to come by. However, if you plan to make enough for just one large or two regulars, it is sufficient.
The coffee maker also makes a very respectable cup of coffee (we use illy that is expressly made for the Moka). Don't tamp the coffee down - that's really the secret.
I cannot recommend this machine enough, though if you have more than one cup a day and really like thick foam, you may get tennis elbow!
