De’Longhi makes some great kitchen appliances and features some very well made and even simple ones that I have found to be great for kitchen work. The De’Longhi Pump Driven Espresso/Cappuccino Maker is another in the line of great De’Longhi appliances in its simplicity and stylish design that makes great espresso and cappuccino drinks.
The De’Longhi Pump Driven Espresso/Cappuccino Maker is a great espresso maker that uses a pump driven motor to force the heated water through the espresso grounds. The De’Longhi Espresso Maker model DGI BAR32 works very well and features a solidly built stainless steel boiler tank for heating the water.
The espresso maker uses a patented Sempre Prema filter holder and can be used with both regular espresso grounds and ESE pods for great tasting espresso and cappuccino. The frother is another great feature and allows you to both steam and froth milk for your lattes or cappuccino’s.
The water tank that is removable and has a handy rubber gasket valve for easy replacement holds 35 ounces of water or one liter. Filling the machine with water can done by pouring water into the tank while it is on the machine or removing the tank and filling it at the sink.
The Pump Driven Espresso/Cappuccino Maker comes with the machine itself and a handy scoop for filling the filter as well as two filter sizes. The instructions are easy to follow and very clear for making your espresso drinks and even cleaning up your espresso maker afterwards.
Using the Pump Driven Espresso/Cappuccino Maker is as easy as putting water in the tank, putting the filled filter into the filter holder and starting the brewing. Once the water heats up you can turn the knob to the brewing position and the heated water under pressure will flow through the filter holder and brew your espresso.
