Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Briel ES41BPG Apollo Espresso Machine
Customer Review: ESPRESSO LOVER WITH NEW FIND
Summary: 5 Stars
I am in receipt of the new BRIEL APOLLO machine. This item is a home run! We have a BRIEL combination pump espresso machine and built-in coffee machine from their Multi-Pro series and have much success. However, we needed a smaller unit in size, that still made a powerful espresso, for our beach house. This modular design which combines all the great features that are found on our higher priced machine from Briel (strong pump pressure, Crema Master filter for consistent genuine crema and easy-to-clean water tank and drip tray), with innovative new developments which are guaranteed to make the production of espresso and cappuccino at home easier than ever before. We really like the fact, that even at this lower pricepoint, the machine features the ESE adaptable feature for use with both traditional ground coffee or coffee servings (pods) which produce a rich coffee extraction each and every time. This machine produces a greater amount of powerful dry steam for frothing milk than any other machine we've owned or tried.The machine is incredibly easy to use.
We recommend this machine highly for lover's of espresso coffee that don't have a lot of counter space or who need an additional machine for another home or property. At this price, I'm tempted to buy a couple more for gifts, which would make a couple of people very happy.
Description of Briel ES41BPG Apollo Espresso Machine
Briel's Apollo espresso machine is backed by the company's 30-plus years in the coffee business and it shows--this model's designed to deliver café-quality espresso and cappuccino to the home user. To get this high quality, the Apollo has a number of extraordinary features. The espresso is brewed at the required 190 degrees F, and the machine has 15 bars of pump pressure. It's speedy, brewing 2 cups in about 35 seconds. It also makes good cappuccino, because of its included frothing wand, and can be used both with ground coffee and with ESE coffee pods. Some other nice features include a patented Cremaker filter, which provides a richer crema on each espresso, a removable water tank, a no-drip system, two thermostats that regulate the coffee cycle and steaming process, and a third safety thermostat located on the pump that notices abnormal use. Made of sturdy black plastic, this machine won't shame any counter. It has 1,260 watts of power and a 10-year pump warranty. --A.J. RathbunEditor's note: This item may arrive with water inside from the manufacturer's pressure test. This is a normal occurrence and doesn't point to a problem with the machine.
