Cuisinart EM-100 Stainless Steel Espresso Machine
The little brother of the Cuisinart EM200 that I have in for review these days, is the Cuisinart EM-100, which is no slouch of a machine either. The Cuisinart EM-100 is a pump-driven stainless clad espresso machine with some nice characteristics and features. The 15-bar pump delivers enough pressure to get some pretty good crèma on those espresso shots, and it comes with three portafilter adapters: Single, double and a special ESE Pod adapter. The versatility is worth it, and on the EM-200 I have been flipping back and forth between ground and pods.
The Cuisinart EM-100 has a 53-ounce reservoir so you can get a pretty long time in between fill ups. The large knob on the front of the machine is the control center for unit, allowing you to dial in steam/hot water from the steam nozzle, as well as brew a shot of espresso. The smaller knob on the left directs the unit to heat to steaming temperature.
To brew, preheat the machine, load your coffee and tamp, or coffee pod, and attach the portafilter to the housing. Turn the knob to brew and let the wonderful espresso come out of the portafilter into you glass, when you have enough, rotate the knob to the off position.
The Cuisinart comes with a tamp/scoop and a removable drip tray that is easy to clean and easy to slide in and out.
