If you would like to know a little about the many types of espresso machines we sell, this would be a good video to get you started. This video covers the machines we sell and based on your lifestyle, what you like to drink, and ease of use. It will give you an overview of different espresso machines and help you determine which one best suits to your needs.
I would watch the video and focus on a particular kind of machine—prosumer, semi-automatic, and super-automatic to decide which kind is ideal for you. Then, you can go and look at individual models to get a better idea of exactly what you want. Of course, if you narrow it down to a few espresso machines and are still undecided, give us a call and we would be glad to help!

Can you tell me if this item has a pressurized portafilter? Do you have any feedback on this machine? In the $200-$250 price point, what semi-auto machine would you recommend. I was looking at the Gaggia machines, but had some concerns about the plastic housing on the Pure and others. I also looked at the Delonghi 702. Your input is appreciated.

Michael Rosso ♦ Anthony...Thank you for interest in the Espressione Café Minuetto. Yes, the Espressione Café Minuetto does come with a pressurized basket standard. Although I have not sold any of these machines yet (so I have no feed back from customers), let me say I have had a chance to do some testing in our testing area. The Espressione Café Minuetto I have found works very well, producing hot espresso and steaming milk very easy. In the $250 price range I would suggest you look at the Gaggia Pure. I would not worry so much about the Gaggia Pure housing being made from plastic, because the Plastic is a heavy duty ABS plastic and the housing does not effect espresso quality. Keep in mind the the Commercial Heavy Chrome plated Brass portafilter and the 9 ounce Stainless Steel boiler found in the Gaggia Pure will ensure a good quality espresso shot. These features you will not find in either the Espressione Café Minuetto or the Delonghi EC702. I hope this information helps you with your espresso machine decision. Please feel free to contact us again on our Super Wall or directly at 1-888-411-5282 option 1 if you have anymore questions. Thanks.
This machine has adual boiler system and built-in grinder for whole beans ?
Thanks.

Michael Rosso ♦ Diana...The Espressione Café Minuetto like most Semi Automatic Espresso machines does not come with a built in grinder. It also uses a single thermoblock boiler and not a dual boiler system. Thanks
