Starbucks Verismo 580 Brewer Silver (011023256)

Starbucks Verismo 580 Brewer SilverLOVE MY Starbucks Verismo 580 Brewer Silver.

I recommended. La recomiendo es tremenda caferetera y me siento como si estuviera en Starbucks.

The serving sizes are unbelievably small. A latte (espresso pod + milk pod) will fill a normal coffee mug about 1/3 of the way. I further decided that instead of having to use four total pods to fill the mug, I would try just running each pod twice. This served to fill the mug, however the flavor was an unsurprisingly poor, watered down, journey of sadness. The milk pods alone (even when only used once) are quite watery and flat tasting. At around 1$ per pod, it's really not worth it to use this machine at all.

Porcelain #2 Coffee Dripper / Filter Cone

Porcelain #2 Coffee Dripper / Filter ConeI had the Cilio and one day I dropped it and it broke. This was a few dollars cheaper so I went for it. It looked the same. It drains fine but the base is smaller and barely fits the edges of my daily coffee cup. I did not even think about that. The Cilio has a bigger base so if your cup is bigger around at the top that will matter to you and it matters which of these porcelain brands you get not only for proper drainage. I will be ordering the other again anyways because this just doesn't work with my favorite cups.

Great quality. Would recommend hand washing, Heat from a dishwasher will create tiny fractures in the glaze and will begin to stain.. This is for any porcelain product.

KRUPS XS6000 Auto Cappuccino Milk Frothing System in Stainless Steel for?Krups?Espressaria Full Aut

KRUPS XS6000 Auto Cappuccino Milk Frothing System in Stainless Steel for?Krups?Espressaria Full Automatic Machine, SilverI love the cappuccino foam that this little gadget makes. It is a good complement for my espresso machine. But the words labels wore off of the nob to turn from cappuccino to latte foam within the first couple of times I washed it. Also, it is not dishwasher safe, and somewhat difficult to properly clean (which needs to be done every time, since it is milk running through the tubing). I would have given it 5 stars if it didn't have those issues, as well as if there was some way to change the temp of the steamed milk coming out of the nozzle, since not everyone likes their milk a medium hot temperature like I do.

I bought this to go with my Krups coffee center and was very happy with the frothed milk for cappucino. It was creamy and thicker than what I could make with a pitcher. The only drawback was that it wasn't very hot. I also find it very convenient to be able to put the milk container right back in the refrigerator.

I have been using this for 2 months or so now, and it works great. I use it everyday to make my morning Latte. It does a decent job of heating up the milk (it could be warmer) and a better job creating foam.

It is easy to clean and even though the markings come off that indicate Latte or Cappuccino you can still identify which side by looking at the slot (when it points up, its for cappuccino.)

Another note: when I had fresh raw milk or soy milk in it, it curdled...reaction to steel?

For some reason, this attachment works great the first 5 or 6 times, than sputters and splashs milk everywhere instead of in my cup. Have cleaned the steam outlet properly, cleaned the parts thoroughly, made sure all the connections are tight... Sometimes it works perfectly but more often than not, I'm cleaning up milk splatters all over the place. Might just go back to using the steam outlet on the machine.
