DeLonghi Retro Espresso/Cappuccino Maker BAR32

Date Published: 8/19/05

The DeLonghi Retro Espresso/Cappuccino Maker BAR32 is a sharp-looking machine with smooth angles.

Styled in black with silver accents, this unit has a 35-ounce removable clear water tank, removable drip tray, two filter holders (one for ground coffee and the other for pre-packed espresso pods), and turbo jet frother to make steamed or frothed milk for cappuccino or latte.

A single dial control lets you choose the function (preheat, espresso, or steam) and a separate knob lets you dispense steam or hot water for tea or other instant beverages. The two filter holders clamp into place with a simple twist. The pod filter holder is a cinch to use and cleans up just as quickly.

The turbo frother is amazingly efficient and more than doubles the volume of your chilled milk. But the single most impressive feature is the powerful pump, with 15-BAR pressure for a savory cup of espresso evidenced by a layer of rich cream on top.

The DeLonghi Retro Espresso/Cappuccino Maker BAR32 is self-priming for fast and efficient operation, cup after cup. And, if you're a newcomer to espresso-making, you'll appreciate the simple controls and indicator lights, which take the guesswork out of the process.
