Espresso Milk Frothing
Espresso Milk Frothing
Saeco Aroma Makes a Great First Espresso Machine
My very first espresso machine was a Saeco Aroma, which is indeed an updated version of their old Classico cappuccino maker with the updates placing the machine at the head of the class in its price range. I was a little nervous when I purchased the Aroma as I'd read of the persistent leaks when frothing but was relieved to learn that the Pannarello frothing attachment had resolved all issues with leaking. After years of buying lattes and growing more dissatisfied with the taste and strength of the drinks, I decided to purchase my own machine. I wanted an affordable machine but wasn't quite ready to make the leap to grinding my own beans. I was really interested in purchasing a machine that was made by Starbucks but could never catch it on sale. I also looked at the Rancilio Silvia and was warned that while it looked simple it's operation was anything but. So after quite a bit of research I made the move to purchase the Aroma, especially after realizing it was indeed the Starbucks I had been looking for all along except without their brand and the extra coin on the price.
Now you'll hear many people tell you that this machine is a starter machine. Well we all have to start somewhere, and the Aroma is as good a place (the best IMHO) as any for even the most discerning espresso drinker to brew a great shot with beautiful crema nearly every time. The Pannarello wand makes it easy to create beautiful espresso bar froth at just the right temperature. You can easily pick one of these up for $200 refurbished and sometimes pick them up for the same price new. That price is a true bargain as the machine will pay for itself in no time flat considering a venti latte from your favorite place will easily run your $4.75. I can almost guarantee you that your drinks will taste richer and fuller to you, and you don't have to have a weekly coffee allowance to satisfy your cappuccino craving. The Saeco Aroma is ridiculously easy to use, the pressurized Pannarello wand helps the non expert froth with ease, simply turn the knob and viola. The only caveat to the ease of use of this wonderful machine, is to ensure that you allow it to fully warm and prime, as it will ensure that the milk is steamed. If you miss this step then you'll have a water mess in your cup.
I've had quite a few machines since my first Aroma (and I still have my Aroma to this day), and while the super automatic machines are great for one touch convenience, the Aroma is on par with and even surpasses some of the more expensive coffee and cappuccino makers in the most important area...taste!
