An affordable brewing option, the Jura-Capresso Cafe Pump Espresso & Cappuccino Machine is sure to delight coffee lovers. Even with Thermoblock technology, providing 16 bars of pressure—ideal for espressos; this machine is also surprisingly compact. Its space-saving design makes the Jura-Capresso Pump Espresso & Cappuccino Machine ideal for apartment and home use.
Does this machine have the pressurized portafilter or self tamping portafilter so that it does not require manual tamping for espresso making?
Thanks

TechMilanoItalia This machine has pressurized baskets so you only need to lightly tamp the grounds with the included tamper/scoop and it will brew fine.
Will this machine make a decent crema? How well does the frothing function work? I am looking for an entry level machine to break away from a steam driven makers and am wondering if this would be a good choice?

ToddS This is an entry level machine that will brew a good creama and steam for you. It has a thermoblock so it does not have great steam pressure for frothing. You may want to move up a little bit more to the Gaggia Espresso Pure, it has a large volume Stainless Steel boiler for great steam pressure and with its commercial brewing components it can brew a commercial quality espresso. It is an amazing value for the money. If you don't have a good quality burr grinder you will also want to purchase the Gaggia "pressurized filter basket" with it.
TechMilanoItalia This is a good, basic pump espresso machine for the money. If you want something set up more like a commercial style (where you have more control over the end product), you may want to consider the Gaggia Espresso Pure or Color or the Evolution.
