Lavazza Point Ep850 Aroma Point Espresso Machine Review

I bought this machine for lattes at my office. I got a cartridge system because I thought it would be cleaner than grinding beans & disposing of the puck. I needed a machine that takes little space, and I wanted to drink Lavazza since that's what I use at home. The cost was also a reason for selecting the 850; I didn't want to spend a lot for it.

I thought I got a defective 850 the first time I used it because the steam wand didn't produce steam long enough to heat the milk past 60 degrees. I contacted the Amazon seller but got no response. The manual that comes with the 850 wasn't helpful. I buy my Lavazza beans & cartridges from AromaCafeCulture.com & called them for help; they were out of stock for the 850 which is why I bought it at Amazon. They helped me get the 850 to work even tho I had not purchased it from them.

When you use the 850, you need to press the "on" button on the far left; it stays red to show the 850 is turned on. The middle button is the shot button & it lights up when it is ready. (You press & release the middle button. The 850 pushes water thru the cartridge until you press the button again. I use a Rattlewear shot pitcher to measure the espresso.) The button on the right is the steam button. To get steam, you press this button continuously until it lights. You then rotate a knob on the right of the machine to activate the steam wand BUT you need to press the lighted steam button the entire time you want to use the steam wand. If you don't keep your finger on that button, you'll get 45 seconds of steam. If you keep your finger on the button, the steam continues until you get the milk to 150 degrees & nice froth. The 850 will produce enough steam to heat & froth milk, but it takes longer than a machine at a coffee shop. Also, the amount of steam produced will vary while you steam & the light may turn off while you steam, but the 850 still steams while the light is off. Yes, it does not steam like Starbucks, but I also didn't spend $4000 on a machine either.

I can't judge the reliability of the 850 since I've had it for 2 weeks. It will pay for itself in 4 months.

I make vente lattes, so I use two cartridges for a serving. I get 2 oz of espresso per cartridge and steam 3/4 C of milk; this fills my Starbucks aluminum mug. Net cost is 20 cents with 8.8 cents for the cartridges. Not bad when compared to the coffee shops & they don't use Lavazza beans, so I'm also getting better tasting lattes while saving money.
