Good Superauto for the Money
I recently purchased a Vienna Superautomatica as an inexpensive secondespresso maker. The first thing I noticed is that it is Italian made
like many of the great espresso machines. The body of the Vienna is
"graphite" plastic, and while it does not feel first class, it somehow
has a pretty sturdy feel to it. I also like that the footprint is
pretty small thus taking up little counter space.
I opened the manual, which is not particularly clear, but need not be
on account of very simple operation. The Vienna has three
buttons--on/off, coffee, and steam. It also has a steamer control knob
and a water volume knob.
I turned on the machine after filling the coffee and water tanks. The
buttons feel Italian--you'll know what I mean if you've owned an Alfa
Romeo. They are a bit clunky next to my old Capresso C1000, but they
work well (for now).
The Vienna takes a couple of minutes to warm up--I don't mind this for
reasons I'll reveal in a minute. The coffee spout is adjustable up and
down to accommodate a large variety of cups and mugs. Once it's ready,
the coffee light stops blinking. I push the button and it begins to
grind the coffee. The noise level of the machine is louder than my
Capresso, but not too bad. You might wake up the house with it in the
morning, but my child stayed asleep. Once the coffee finishes the
grind, the Vienna immediately begins making espresso.
My first impression was that I saw a lot more steam coming from the
coffee than my Capresso. I am hopeful. The coffee also looked a bit
thicker than the Capresso. After the Vienna finished I observed the
cup: nice crema, plenty hot, and smells like the genuine article. I
gave it a taste--wow, step aside Capresso, this espresso is richer,
hotter, and a lot closer to coffee bar espresso. Next I took a sip. Ah
yes, the cup holds rich chocolatey espresso. If you are sort of a
coffee snob, you'll like what you taste. The coffee is much richer than
the Capresso, which I attribute to hotter water and fuller extraction.
I'm sure that the Vienna will not make good enough espresso for some
folks, but to me, it still tastes better than Starbucks. It was more
than $100 cheaper than my Capresso and frankly makes better espresso. I
cannot yet speak to the durability of the machine, but the Vienna is
now my favorite inexpensive espresso maker.

My new best friend is an espresso machine!
I bought the Krups XP9000 Fully automatic Espresso Machine and
it is my favorite all time kitchen purchase, here's why.
* Machine is fully automatic- which means I can place my coffee cup
under the dispenser and just press a button if I want a coffee,
espresso
* If I want to make a latte or cappuccino, I don't need to have a
separate milk container. I can froth the milk right in my mug then pull
the espresso. ( I thought the frothing attachment was super easy to use
and after 4 months of making vanilla lattes have not had any issues)
* I can use whole beans or ground coffee- I prefer fresh, whole beans
ground right before I make my coffee.
* Excellent foam (crema) on the espresso.
* The digital display on the machine informs me when I need to empty
any receivers, add water or beans.
* If we need to set the program for a longer shot of espresso for my
husband, the machines will recognize his setting and program that just
for him.
* This is as close to going out and buying a latte or coffee at a
coffee house,
It is definitely worth the investment if you want a really good coffee
experience at home.
