Hello and welcome to this Go articles review of the DeLonghi BAR32 espresso coffee maker. With this review it is my intention to inform the reader of all the key issues regarding this machine and hopefully bringing them to the point where they can make a confident decision about which coffee maker is best.
First we should mention the fact that this machine is pump-driven instead of steam-driven, this is very important, as pump-driven machines typically scorch the coffee grounds and leave the espresso tasting burnt.
This machine can use both pods and grounds when making coffee, this is brilliant because it means a wide variety of people can enjoy this machine. Those who are perfectionist in nature can use gourmet coffee grounds of their choice and spend the time necessary to make that perfect cup of coffee. While those of us who are happy to just have great tasting espresso but also want it fast should be happy campers here as well. I know for me personally just after I have gotten up first thing in the morning, measuring coffee into a scoop and messing around is something I don't particularly want to do.
The pods while a little on the expensive side at 18 pods for $12 make really good coffee and if we were to compare this price to that of a coffee shop we would undoubtedly see massive savings over the course of a year.
Quickly before we finish we should talk about the water; if you are happy with "passable" water with your coffee then putting tap water through the espresso makers filter may be enough, but personally I don't think so. My strong recommendation when it comes to water is to use mineral water with your coffee, the water that we use comprises 98% of the coffee we drink, and so shouldn't be taken lightly.
