Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Espressione Luna Wall-Mount Pump Espresso MachineCustomer Review: All Beauty - no brawn Summary: 2 StarsBeautiful european design with brilliant space-saving implementation. How could I resist? I couldn't. I should have. The shots were always good until it started to leak hot water all down the wall and onto my countertop. The steam was always marginal, needing to pause several times during steaming to allow the boiler to recharge. Finally the leaking water and impotent steam forced me to send it in for repair. It has never been the same since. After several weeks it now leaks water worse than ever. The steam is slightly improved but nothing to get excited about. Looking back on the whole experience, I would have to say that the first year was pretty good and then it was down hill ever since. Many a man has been beguiled by beauty that in time fades to remorse and anguish. In the case of the Luna that time frame is about 1 year and the remorse and anguish are in the form of leaking hot water and lackluster froth.
Description of Espressione Luna Wall-Mount Pump Espresso MachineOne group pump espresso machine that can be wall mounted or suspended on a metal support. Stainless steel machine features commercial quality components. Thermo block for instant and continuous steam. ESE system for use exclusively with pods. Espressione's Luna espresso machine is as much an elegant element of a room's design as a mere java brewer. It can be wall mounted or suspended on a metal support, saving space in the consumer or restaurant kitchen. Produced in Italy, the machine uses mineral water bottles, or other bottles, as the water reservoir, which eliminates the often-cumbersome water tank.All this stylish functionality doesn't mean that the Luna skimps on the espresso-making process. On the contrary, it makes excellent espresso and has a number of great features, including 15-bar pump pressure, a brass boiler with a .7-liter water capacity, a solid stainless-steel body, and a strong thermo block for instant and continuous steam, as well as a UL-rated, 1,450-watt heating element. There are two different systems for extracting espresso and for steaming milk, and a no-water supply protection system that shuts off the machine when the water reservoir is empty. One thing to remember when using the Luna: it only works with ESE coffee serving pods, which resemble a round tea bag and contain the proper amount of ground coffee--7 grams to be exact--to make a single serving of espresso. Luckily, Espressione also has coffee pods available in 100 percent Arabica, espresso, and decaffeinated styles. The 110-volt Luna has a cup warmer on top and measures 15-1/4 by 15-1/2 by 6-1/4 inches (length by height by width). --A.J. Rathbun
