Breville Cafe Roma Espresso Maker: For budding home baristas

For over 30 years, Breville has brought innovative kitchen appliances to the world. Entering the US espresso maker market in 2003, Breville experienced more widespread success than it had anticipated. Its philosophy is simply to bring commercial quality construction and materials to in-home products. In the case of its Café Roma Espresso Maker, Breville uses materials like high quality die cast metal and brushed stainless steel.

The Café Roma Espresso Machine is a 15 bar pump machine for the right amount pressure to produce a beautiful crema for each serving. The stainless steel wand has an enhancer to make the milk frothing process easy and fast. It has dual wall filters to optimize crema extraction. Attention to detail even expands to include a café-inspired cup and saucer set, and stainless steel frothing pitcher. Whether you are preparing espresso, latte or cappuccino, the Roma is versatile enough to satisfy all your coffee loving housemates and friends.

The Roma is surprisingly affordable in the $200 to $500 suggested retail price range. This is a great entry-level machine for an aspiring home barista. The single pump and controls are fairly simple to maneuver. The simplicity, while pleasing the beginner, may frustrate the accomplished coffee artist. So, if you are considering it as a gift, make sure the intended recipient and the level of machine is a fit. If you like your coffee strong, Roma owners suggest starting at the finest grind setting for beans and adjusting from there for the best flavor results.
