It has a main tray which contain capture bins to avoid the leaks and spills. It also has down-tray for the small espresso shot glasses.The water tank is completely detachable and is easily filled by simply removing the lid.
One of the great features of Keurig Rivo is its milk froth pitcher. You can detach it, fill it with milk and place it on its place pretty easily.
The controls are placed on the top of the machine in the form of buttons. There are two espresso shot options with different capacities. Other three buttons are for milk frothing, cappuccino and latte. There is also a button for cold milk frothing.
The pressure is set at fifteen bars, which is pretty much a decent pressure for any coffee machine.
Keurig Rivo comes with its own coffee pods. But you can definitely buy extra coffee pods according to your choice. In order to brew coffee, just put the coffee pod in the machine by opening the top lid and press the power button. The machine will start its process. Keurig Rivo stops after two minutes because of its smart energy saving mode. The pod size of this latte machine is very small, which affects the shelf life pretty badly.
This latte machine prepares a high quality froth for your cappuccino or latte. It has three froth modes namely Cappuccino, Latte, and Cold Froth.
It also offers multiple choices in espresso shots along with a lot of combinations. We tried Americano, Espresso Con Panna, Lattes, and Espresso Macchiato. The brew quality was exceptional.
This product is quite affordable keeping in view all the features and versatility.
DeLonghi Nescafe Dolce Gusto Piccolo Plus Coffeemaker
This [easyazon_link identifier=”B005ECU6D0″ locale=”US” tag=”cafe049-20″]coffee maker[/easyazon_link] has a single- serve system, which means you can place one pod at at time in the machine. This is a small machine and extremely easy to handle. The water tank of this coffee machine fits at the back of the machine.
You can put the coffee pod in the machine by opening the lid of the machine. After placing the milk or coffee pod inside the machine on its pod tray, just press the handle down and set the required quantity by the digital picker of the machine. The machine will start the brewing process.
A cool feature of this coffee machine is its ability to make cold, hot and combo drinks. There is a lever on the machine which you can set to select the temperature of the drink you want.
There is a power button on the left side of the machine. It turns red when the water tank is running out of water.
There is only a single slot for the pods, which means you will have to first place the coffee pod to brew and then the milk pod and then mix them together. This means you cannot just put the coffee, walk away and come back to get your coffee ready. This machine wants some manual work.
This top rated latte machine also has a removable water reservoir with a capacity of 0.6 liters.

Place the glass or vessel just below the level on the tray.You can just fill the milk reservoir to the full for once and foam, froth and milk will keep coming to the cup into the coffee from the side channels which are coming out of the reservoir. You only have to detach the milk reservoir when the milk runs out in it.
There are three buttons at the front size of the machine. You can press the “Espresso” button once to make one shot of espresso. If you press it twice, the machine will make two shots. The other two buttons are for cappuccino and latte.
Cafe Barista’s capacity to brew at consistent temperatures is weak. We also found the machine unable to extract pure tastes from lightly roasted beans. But overall, it is a good coffee machine to get tasty coffee instantly.
Capresso Espresso and Cappuccino Machine
This is an 800-watt [easyazon_link identifier=”B001QTVXCI” locale=”US” tag=”cafe049-20″]espresso and cappuccino machine[/easyazon_link] along with a capacity of making 4 cups at a time.

If you want a strong coffee, place the lever to the center. After a few minutes, coffee will start coming into the pitcher.
There is a separate steel bar with a black rubber cover which you can submerge in milk to make froth. You can fill milk in any steel vessel, move the black thermostat right above the steel bar for milk heating to set the temperature and do frothing and heating according to your need.
We faced a bit difficulty in handling the top lid of the machine to put the water in the tank. The pressure in the machine also surges pretty fast, so I would recommend waiting a few seconds before opening the lid in order to avoid any damage.
This machine is available in a pretty nominal cost. It is best for the users who are looking for a durable yet affordable latte machine.
