Coffee Maker,sealing ring

5/5

I believe that a 100$ machine can make as good of a cup as a 300$ machine. After all, espresso machines have been around for decades and use a technology that seems relatively simple. Does this produce good espresso? Read on to find out. I am not a barista so all I expected from this product is a good cup of espresso that is easy to make. Someone with a trained palate may have different expectations that I do. I am happy to report that the Living Basics espresso machine does produce good coffee. The espresso comes out with a nice crema, the coffee tastes smooth, and the bottom of the cup does not contain any grain residue. As you can see from the photos, after brewing, a small pool of water remains in the brewing cylinder. I don't know if this is normal but it does not seem to affect the coffee. This machine operates like any other espresso machine that I have seen before. Most parts seem to be made of stainless steel. The tamper is made of plastic and is not weighted. The instructions manual has a few minor typos, but the reader can still understand how to operate the product. (Surprenament, les instructions en français sont mieux écrites qu'en anglais). Before buying this product, I called Living.ca to inquire about their return policy. They said that customers can return products up to 90 days after purchase even if the product was used. Living will charge 10% of the purchase price, but they will pay for the return shipping. I find that this is an excellent return policy and it convinced me to pull the trigger on buying this machine and trying it out. Overall, I am satisfied with my purchase and I recommend this product to anyone looking for a good espresso at an affordable price point. I hope this review will be of use to you.
