Overview
With a 15-bar pump, the Cuisinart EM-100NAS brews espresso from ground coffee or ESE pods and adds a steam wand for milk and a cup-warming plate, sized for 1 to 2 cup brews from a 53 oz reservoir.
- 15-bar pump for espresso extraction
- 53 oz removable water reservoir
- Steam wand and frothing cup for lattes and cappuccinos
- Cup-warming plate on top
Who it's for
Suits anyone wanting an entry-level espresso and latte machine and willing to learn tamping and grind adjustment over the first few uses. Less suited to anyone who wants barista-level extraction temperatures out of the box.
Pros and cons
- Produces crema-topped shots once dialed in
- Steam wand froths milk for lattes
- Cup-warming plate is a nice extra
- Water temperature may run below ideal
- One unit developed a loose connection
Performance notes
One reviewer who measured water temperature found it running around 82C, below the 92 to 96C generally considered ideal, which can leave extraction slightly under-powered.
