Editorial Review:

Product Description:
Caffe Parma is about the easiest and most sensible way to enjoy the taste of espresso, without any fuss.

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Not as bad as you think
I purchased this product about 3 years ago, I couldn't figure out how to use it so I gave up. Recently we got a new person in the office who wanted to use it so I said more power to you. She showed me how to get it going and with tips from my sister who used to work at a specialty coffee place, I feel professional. I make a great carmel macchiatta every morning. I think there may be a worn washer or something because I have to steam milk while the espresso is running (not what it's supposed to ... Read More



Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - Returned it after five days
We've previously used Krups and Capresso espresso makers that are similarly priced to this one, but this is the worst of the lot.

Rating: 2 out of 5 stars - Espresso Maker
This product was re-furbished and came in a bit dirty. It's easy to use and makes espresso quick but the steam wand is terrible. It does not make the milk hot and does not let out enough steam.



Rating: 2 out of 5 stars - Not as good as expected
I bought the machine mainly for cappuccino. But the pressure of steam is really pathetic and it goes away after 5-10 seconds.There was no seperate system for steam. I had to return it.



Rating: 2 out of 5 stars - Not what I expected
This is a nice looking Espresso Maker. The problem I found with it is the steamer is made of a flimsy plastic and I thought it was going to break every time I used it. It is not in the right place on the machine to be able to steam a cup of milk. I would not purchase this machine again.
