Harold Import Stackable Porcelain Demi Cup & Saucer Set, 9pc

They arrived quickly and are even better than expected -classic expresso cups that take very little space on a countertop or in a cupboard and at a very reasonable price. I'd been in the market for expresso cups for a long time; they're not easy to find at a good price, and these would be exceptionally nice at twice the price.

I ordered these espresso cups, along with another brand. I really like these cups. They are small enough to fit under my small espresso machine. The other ones that I purchased were too big. The quality of the cups seems pretty good and they look nice sitting by the machine.

Couldn't be more pleased with this cup set. Cup mouths are wide enough to catch the espresso from both spouts of a dispenser head, so waste (or the need to dirty a second cup) is a thing of the past. Very nice storage rack: it keeps a lot of crockery in a very small footprint.

Although I own multiple sets of demitasse cups I purchased this one to pair with the companion Stackable Porcelain Cappuccino Cup & Saucer 9 Pc Set.

Like the companion set the cups and saucers in this one are made of relatively thick porcelain. This functional characteristic is what allows the cups to retain heat. More importantly, the surfaces of the cups and saucers are smooth and uniform, which indicate well crafted and manufactured ware. The stacking rack is also well made: the metal is not flimsy and is perfectly plated.

The height of the rack is 8.5 inches, which is about three inches shorter that the one in the companion set I mentioned above. The entire set will take up little cabinet or counter space, which makes it practical. Another practical feature is these can be put in a dishwasher. I personally clean mine by hand, but the fact that you can dish wash them adds to the value.

I especially love the gleaming, white porcelain that goes with any decor. It reminds me of the cups in which espresso is served in Mediterranean cafes and bars. I find them to be beautiful. At three ounces they also have the perfect capacity.

If you get these I highly recommend pairing them with a set of WMF Manaos / Bistro Espresso Paddle, Set of 4. Those will allow you to stir your beverage without wrecking the crema.

Cups & saucers perfect. Stacker was carelessly bent and soldered or spot welded. I manhandled it til it stood almost straight. Then it was too snug to receive cups. Spread the cup column to increase diameter. Now I'm happy. It works AND it has character.

We have three of these. One in service all day long every day. Two of them in boxes ready to swap when the first one dies. These coffeemakers are so inexpensive that they can be regarded as **disposable.**

I've owned many of these coffeemakers in my lifetime. When they stop working, they are hard to repair, although I have done it. Unfortunately, I had to store the nonworking ones so that I could steal parts from one to repair another. This became a nuisance and it also took up a lot of storage space. Better idea: When the coffeemaker stops working, just keep the carafe as a spare and throw away the rest.

Another suggestion: Consider buying two of these. Keep one on hand to replace the first one. But there is more ... on holidays when you have large dinners and many guests, (e.g., Thanksgiving...) you can set up the spare coffeemaker to make decaffeinated coffee, or just brew regular coffee in it so you can have two coffeemakers going at the same time.

If you want a reliable coffeemaker, this is the one. If you want chrome and shiny and snazzy and cool-looking for a show-room decorator kitchen, this model isn't for you.

If your looking for basic coffee maker that does the job. This is your machine.

Advantages:

One of the few machines on the market undet 13" tall. At just under 11.25 this will fits nicely into a smaller space.

The carafe doesn't dribble when you pour. (Mr. Coffee hasn't figured that one out yet).

No pesky blinking light. If you don't need a clock in you coffee pot.

Disadvantages:

I don't know what measures they use when they put the hash marks on the carafes but this one isn't 10 cups. I'd put it at an honest 8. My reason for the four star rating.

If eight cups is sufficient, this is a great little machine.

It was delivered very fast, looks way more expensive than the actual price, it has drop stop, doesnt sound too much, and the only reason why I do not give it a 5 star rating is that after a while, the taste of the coffee brewed tastes old..

Works better for making 4 cups (two large mugs) than smaller types because it pumps water faster with 900 watts, allowing the coffee to steep longer before dripping down. The flow rate is restricted by the valve more than by the filter, a properly made point not always found. The practice of sizing the heater to the water capacity and running the same time for smaller loads is incorrect. Also keeps the pot hotter than some leaving it tepid.

The flip up top is a limitation in needing more overhead space, compared to swing-out designs which fit more under cabinets -but which are not available anymore in this size. Also the swing-outs tend to drip water onto the plate which damages the finish over time when hot (best to insure no water under the carafe when placing on the hot plate).

Has no internal markings for water level, but cavity hump serves to mark the 4-5 cup level needed (besides the markings on the carafe) -so only four stars.

Takes basket style filters instead of the Euro-style cones. The permanent filters in this style seem to produce weaker brew with faster water flow.

The straight-sided carafe is easier to clean than the rounded side ones. Even if rinsed, over time thin layers of coffee build up on the glass, and this one can be easily wiped with towel. Also assists effectiveness of rinsing.

I recommend adding felt pads or tape over the rubber feet on the back side so it can slide across counters out from under cabinets.

Finally, an excellent machine at a fair price. The last maker I purchased had to be thrown away due to the nauseating burning plastic chemical smell. I have read of the same issue with other makers in reviews here on Amazon. So happy to say, this little pot has NO smell-right out of the box, it was perfect. Thank you Procter-Silex !

Cappuccino Maker w/ Steamed Milk Pitcher PHB

There is no indication in the title or description of this item that this is a toy. This is not a real capuccino machine and I think the listing is incredible misleading. Caveat Emptor!

Good little product for gift idea's. But not enough information to indicate that this product is a

gift or the real thing mean that I bought this and thinking that this was the real Cappuiccion maker. This product came on time.
