Breville Café Modena Espresso Machine Review
When you look at the stylish Breville Café Modena espresso machine you see why it is a popular product for residential use. Coffee lovers who want to prepare their won café-quality lattes, cappuccino, and other sophisticated drinks find that this unit delivers all those needs along with a stainless steel body that fits right into their kitchen décor.
While the stainless steel body is attractive and stylish, more importantly is its durability and solid construction. It is designed with a 15 bar pump which many people find works much better than steam units. You can make virtually any coffee product you desire with this one machine, giving it immense value in the home for coffee lovers.
The ability to make delicious lattes and cappuccino is what makes a machine like the Breville Café Modena espresso machine different from a regular coffee pot. Since you can also make regular espresso with this machine you can throw out the coffee maker and just do everything from this one stylish machine.
There are some accessories needed to froth lattes and do other specialty coffee requests, but the Breville Café Modena espresso machine comes with a variety of accessories to help. You get a stainless steel frothing wand designed to accelerate the frothing process as well as a stainless steel frothing pitcher. When you place the latte on the built-in heating plate to froth you will easier create the perfect froth every time.
The warming plates on top of the Breville Café Modena espresso machine are quite handy because they will hold up to six cups of coffee warm at a time. This is perfect if you are serving coffee to a group and want it to be hot for everyone without serving the cups individually. It also allows you to put together more than one cup for yourself and have them hot and ready when you are ready for them.
With this Breville espresso machine you can use a single shot, double shot or pod filter. This makes the machine even more versatile and ensures it fits the needs of every user regardless of the type of coffee being made.
Of course, there are some things to be cautious of when you compare the Breville Café Modena espresso machine to similar products selling within the same price range. Many consumers have complained that the machine leaks water after a couple years of use while others have blown the pump due to not using enough water in the machine.
It is important that you pay attention to the small window that shows how much water is in the machine as blowing the pump does make the entire machine useless. As long as you check the water and keep it full for every use it is likely to last for many years of regular use.
It is important to recognize that the Breville Café Modena espresso machine is a lower priced machine designed for casual residential use. It is not as durable as a commercial grade machine and must be used according to all directions.
That said, the Breville Café Modena espresso machine is the perfect pick if you want a versatile machine that comes with a variety of accessories to create lattes, cappuccinos and other delicious treats right in your own home.
