With the cold milk in the top chamber brings down the temperature of the cappuccino. I could warm the milk up which should help. The frothing on the Mukka Express is automatic and occurs shortly after the espresso enters into the upper chamber unlike frothing on a manual espresso machine where...

I pulled out my Mukka Express today, it was a limited edition sold by Williams Sonoma. I makes a smooth cappuccino but not hot enough for my liking. I can also make latte's.

Thanks for sharing, I have the same waffle maker.

At least is has metal gears, old school KA.

Damn, the one time I misspelled espresso I get called out for it. Believe it or not I am edge-u-macated.:oops:

I was abserving the oven on my Dacor range and noticed that it is a reverse flow exhaust for the oven. The hot air from the gas combustion goes up a flew in the center of the range (in between the burners). Air is drawn in from the horizontal vent in (in the back rear) and from the front (at...

Good reason to keep it, per Wolf's website the new ranges have 3 of the same size burner and 1 smaller one, none of them are dual burner.

My brother use to work for a company that made gas valves for ranges. He would test the valves for various ovens and told me the same. The self-clean cycle gets the oven temps so hot that it distorts the metal. I never used a self-clean cycle, I place foil on the bottom of the oven and use...

FYI, Seattle Coffee Gear is having their open box sale: Link

Not only is coffee (caffine) addictive, but the coffee makers as well.:sneaky: Below is a picture of my early coffee equipment: (not pictured is my french press or my Bialetti Mukka Express) Then I refurbished and eventually sold my built-in Miele: And my current go-to Miele: The current...

Back to the original post, I would check to see if there are parts available to "rebuild" the unit which mainly consists of screens and gaskets. Which if available the machine will last for a longer time as opposed to a throw away unit. As for the pricing, it wouldn't hurt to politely ask if...

The equivalent new Dacor range cost $4,500 (same price as 20 years ago) and is approximately 100 lbs lighter. What I do not like about the newer gas ranges (including Viking, Wolf and most others) is that they decide which burners are smaller and which ones are larger. The older ranges had the...

The expensive price is hard to swallow for sure but I paid approximately 1/2 price for a returned unit, still damn expensive though. After owning superautomatics for quite a few years, if I were to divide the cost of the unit by the amount of coffee drinks served it is easier to justify. Or...

My wife and I host Thanksgiving each year. My wife like to cook enough food to feed the neighborhood and occupies both ovens which leaves me to cook the turkey on my ceramic grill. Definitely no complaints from me as the turkey turns out great cooked over lump coal.

My old "cheap" 30" gas range finally bit the bullet. I was looking for an inexpensive (under $500) replacement since it is for my basement kitchen. I was not impressed at the quality of the new ranges or lack of features on the less expensive models. So I decided to look at used 30" gas...

I started with a Jura ENA 9 (obsolete model) until I wore it out. I now own a Miele CM6360 that I purchased at a discount due to a customer return. One problem with the superautomatics is that they tend to clog up with oily beans. My go to bean is Lavazza super crema.

Years ago I started out with a budget espresso machine (Estro sold by starbucks) on sale for under $150. It provided decent cup of espresso but I found that I would only use it several times/year do to the amount of effort to pull a couple of shots with cleanup. I ended up going with a...

If you are dispensing with CO2 I advise that you check for CO2 leaks to avoid loosing a tank of CO2.

My vacuum coffee maker is one of my favorites but the Miele has me spoiled with the one button approach. The Jura was my super automatic before the Miele but it needs to be sent in for refurbishing. The Mocca Master Technivorm is great for drip coffee, not many machines can produce hot enough...

Below is a collection of my coffee equipment, not pictured is a bialetti mukka express, limited edition from williams-sonoma.
