Wow! This machine is Awesome. I've wanted to upgrade my espresso machine since I bought it 9 months ago. That is not to say my old one made bad espresso, but the steam capability was lacking, and when company came over it was not up to the task. The Expobar Pulsar arrived to day and I am impressed. My first shot was great. My first cappuccino was sweet. I am so glad I went the extra money this time. It is worth every penny. So, what makes this machine so great? It’s the quality. This thing has all the bases covered. It has a massive commercial brew group that heats up and stays hot. It has the ability to steam multiple cappuccinos, one after the other. And the micro foam is impressive. I can make the entire picture of milk into micro foam on the first day I have the machine. Setup out of the box was very straight forward. I pulled off the protective plastic to reveal all that shiny stainless steel. I filled up the water tank and purged the machine to get out any stale water or manufacturing residue. The instructions that came with it to supplement the Expobar manual were simple and sufficiently well organized that I didn’t mess anything up. Within one hour I was sipping a cappuccino with a big grin on my face. My grinder was already dialed in for my Saeco so I tried it as it was and the Expobar pulsar took it in stride. My first shot brewed in 25 seconds exactly with no sour taste or bitter end. The coffee had a natural sweetness such that I didn’t have to add any sweetener. It was the same story for my first cappuccino. The micro foam seems to make the milk sweeter, and the natural sweetness of the coffee made my usual brew almost too sweet with my normal amount of sugar.
How Long Have I Been Using This Product?
Less than 1 month
What's Best About this Product?
Steam, sweet steem. And the sweet espresso shots are nice to. The fit and finish is virtually flawless. It also warms up much faster than other reviewers have implied. I timed it to 12 minutes before the heater light went out.
Some Helpful Tips For Using this Product:
Don't burn yourself on the group head, hot water wand or steam wand.
My Experience With Using This Product:
Coffee Lover
The Coffee I've Tried With This Product:
Home Roasted
Some Improvements I Would Recommend for This Product:
So what is not to like? Not much at this price point. I did notice that the steam wand will scald some milk to itself and needs a good wipe. An anti-burn wand would be a nice upgrade. The drip tray seems a bit small. Keep in mind this is my first day and I have not even come close to filling it up. I guess the engineer in me sees that big old space under the drip tray that is not being utilized by half and wishes the designers would have found a different solution. Maybe a way to see when the water is getting low will be nice. I have yet to experience that either.
Some of the Other Machines I've Used:
Delongi, Saeco Aroma
The Type of Grinder I've Been Using:
Flat Burr grinder
The Make and Model of My Grinder:
Kitchenaid Proline KPCG 100
