La Cafetiere ES000001 Classic Espresso Coffee Maker Percolator, 3-Cup - Steel

Product Information

We get sent coffee from all over the UK to feature in our fortnightly despatch as well as testing and reviewing coffee equipment. We tested many types of espresso machines, from super-automatic espresso makers that will make an espresso drink from start to finish with just the push of a button to capsule machines and everything in between, such as semi-automatic models and combo coffee and espresso machines. They do produce a coffee that is almost an espresso however it doesn’t have the depth and concentration of coffee that you achieve with an espresso machine.

Nicole Papantoniou is the director of the Good Housekeeping Institute's Kitchen Appliances and Innovation Lab, where she oversees all testing and content related to cooking and making drinks.The Alicia also has a ‘keep warm’ function a little like an American-diner style drip coffee, this is great for those weekend coffees that you take your time and enjoy. When you choose a drink that incorporates milk, the machine indicates the frother setting and gives you time to select it from three options before frothing begins. Because of the heat and pressure needed to make a stovetop coffee the parts need to be screwed together extremely tight. Our experts appreciate that the machine pre-infuses the espresso grinds with water to saturate them before brewing.
