User questions & answers

Question:	does the handle have a single nozzle or a double nozzle
Answer:	Double. You can make to espressos at the same time if you want.
Question:	Ok dumb question of the day for you guys - does it make regular coffee
Answer:	Well, define regular. This is an espresso machine, if you want a regular coffee, maybe you'd make the coffee with more water therefore less strong.
Question:	Why do I always get a wet or soupy puck when making espresso? I have used fine and course grounds and it is still a soupy mess after each use
Answer:	Use a burr grinder,not a blade grinder. Set on one of the fine settings to start with. Put 16 grams of ground beans (I use a medium roast) coffee in the portafilter, tamp to 60 lbs, rotate the tamper and tamp again. Good to go, no soupy pucks for you!
Question:	The instructions say to take apart and clean the steam wand after each use. This seems quite time consuming. What is everyone's experience with this
Answer:	I don't use the frothing attachment, just the steam wand part, so I just wet sponge wipe off the wand after each use. Just takes a couple of seconds.

User questions & answers

Question:	My thumb guard on the handle got broken, anyone know how I can order that part? It makes it hard to empty the basket
Answer:	You use coffee beans ground specifically for espresso, which is finer than the grind you would use for regular coffee machines. But no, it does not take the pre-filled pods. You measure coffee grinds into the little basket. God bless!
Question:	Does anyone know if the EC100 is a significant improvement over the EC50? If so, in what ways
Answer:	I use a ground espresso cafe, no mix is needed. if you want to make a cappuccino, you are able to froth the milk with the steamer.
Question:	How to clean E
Answer:	It is just steam, not a bar system. For the price, this is a great little machine. My husband and I use it at least twice everyday.
Question:	Does this machine have aluminium parts
Answer:	Where else? China.
Question:	can you use cappuccino pods with this machine or do you use coffee beans
Answer:	Double. You can make to espressos at the same time if you want.
Question:	What kind of cappuccino mix do I need to get for this machine? I don't drink cappuccino..this is a gift
Answer:	Well, define regular. This is an espresso machine, if you want a regular coffee, maybe you'd make the coffee with more water therefore less strong.
Question:	Is this espresso maker a "pump system
Answer:	Use a burr grinder,not a blade grinder. Set on one of the fine settings to start with. Put 16 grams of ground beans (I use a medium roast) coffee in the portafilter, tamp to 60 lbs, rotate the tamper and tamp again. Good to go, no soupy pucks for you!
Question:	Where is this machine made
Answer:	I don't use the frothing attachment, just the steam wand part, so I just wet sponge wipe off the wand after each use. Just takes a couple of seconds.
Question:	does the handle have a single nozzle or a double nozzle
Answer:	it depends on the coffee you choose. you can buy non-espresso from Nespresso. But the amount of coffee is capped at a "small cup" because you can't fit a bigger cup in the machine. I stopped using it for anything other than heating water for a Starbucks Via (instant coffee).
Question:	Ok dumb question of the day for you guys - does it make regular coffee
Answer:	Yes. I use peets. Others brands sold at target and I purchase from amazon and directly from the site. So, yes u can use any brand capsules
Question:	Why do I always get a wet or soupy puck when making espresso? I have used fine and course grounds and it is still a soupy mess after each use
Answer:	Depend on the brand of coffee you will use, Nespresso Coffee make a wonderful crema. If you will use a reusable cap the crema is not so good.
Question:	The instructions say to take apart and clean the steam wand after each use. This seems quite time consuming. What is everyone's experience with this
Answer:	It' Italian for long, just means a larger cup of coffee with more water than a typical espresso

User questions & answers

Question:	Has anyone tried a 20 oz steamer cup with this model
Answer:	I hate this machine. Mine is already non-functional (when the pressure builds, the whole basket explodes spewing hot coffee mess everywhere).
Question:	Where can you find replacement parts for the handle that holds the espresso? I'm looking for the black piece that sits under the sieve
Answer:	I would like to post an update to my bashing this unit. I have modified mine by removing the little nozzle under the basket (you need to unscrew the three screws to get to it, it just pops out). This is the main reason for the soupy pucks, weak espresso, and excessive "foam" masquerading as crema.Now, I am pulling REALLY great shots using a blend of Bustelo gourmet (black vacuum packed) and La Rica (green and black vacuumed packed).Put one scoop of Bustelo in the bottom, and top it off with the La Rica, then a light tamp. You will pull the shot for around 25 seconds and have one of the best espresso shots from home on a machine under $500.I know, some of you are saying "you need to grind your own bean for freshness" ...trust me! Try this first, I was not able to get a good enough grind to suit this unit, and I am using a high dollar burr grinder.
Question:	Are the baskets stainless steel
Answer:	Hi, Margie. I purchased this as a gift, so I no longer have any of the paperwork. Here, however, is the site for the EC50 Instruction Manual: http://www.capresso.com/pdf/EC50IBEnglish.pdf. Hope this helps answer your question. Ginny13
Question:	I just want to make 1 cup of espresso but it comes out of both spouts. How do I turn 1 off
Answer:	Yes, this machine has aluminum parts, however, the parts are not in direct contact with the coffee or its constituents

The Barista Express by Breville, BES870XL

Create great tasting espresso in less than a minute. The Barista Express allows you to grind the beans right before extraction, and its interchangeable filters and a choice of automatic or manual operation ensure authentic cafe style results in no time at all.

The 4 keys formula for third wave specialty coffee at home:

1. Rich, full flavor

Full-bodied coffee with rich and complex flavors is created using the right dose of 19-22g of freshly ground beans. This dose allows the coffee to fully express the incredible aroma, intense flavors and distinctive character of the coffee, for a true cafe quality result. Anything less than the optimal dose results in a weak and watery taste experience.

2. Perfectly balanced taste

Sweet, delicious and nuanced flavor notes begin with precise control over water temperature. Digital temperature control (PID) technology precisely controls water temperature for a perfectly balanced coffee extraction, giving you the control and consistency for delicious tasting coffee every time.

3. Irresistible body

An opulent, creamy and caramel-colored espresso starts with low pressure pre-infusion that soaks the grinds, allowing water to pass evenly through the coffee during the high pressure (9 bar) extraction process, delivered via our 15 bar Italian pump. This results in a rich, sweet and viscous espresso.

4. Silky, velvety mouthfeel

Savor the silky taste and velvety mouthfeel of true microfoam milk. The milk is steamed with pressure that creates thousands of tiny bubbles, enhancing flavor and mouthfeel, while the temperature brings out the milk’s sweetness, exciting your taste buds, for a harmonious blend of rich, sweet milk and syrupy, golden espresso.

Dose-Control Grinding

Integrated conical burr grinder grinds on-demand to deliver the right amount of freshly ground coffee directly into the portafilter for your preferred taste with any roast of bean.

Grind Size Dial

Simple and intuitive, giving you control over the grind size no matter what type of bean you're grinding.

Precise Espresso Extraction

Digital temperature control delivers water at precisely the right temperature, ensuring optimal espresso extraction.

Micro-Foam Milk Texturing

The steam wand performance allows you to hand texture micro-foam milk that enhances flavor and enables creation of latte art.

User questions & answers

Question:	Does this machine have a "pump
Answer:	Yes. It has a pump. I've had mine for 2 weeks and love it. Good espresso and very easy to use.
Question:	How to remove portafilter
Answer:	To remove the portafilter from the machine just turn it to the left till it releases, then holding it level move it as far left as you can and move it downward. I just got my machine last week and and the portafilter fits pretty tight, it will loosen over time, but for now when putting it in or removing it I hold the machine at the top and side to steady it and use a little force to get it in tight. The handle should be centered or as close to center as you can get. Mine is so new its a little to the left of center.I hope this helps, if not please let me know.
Question:	programmable? can you set it up the night before and wake up to made espresso
Answer:	No. But it brews a cup so quickly can't imagine why you'd need to program it. Of course you could always get the filter filled and in place I guess. Save maybe 10 secs!
Question:	can i set a time where it will brew my espresso for me in the morning
Answer:	No, there is not a timer. You can fill the water and portafilter the night before then just push the on button when you are ready.
