Cappucinos...really that good: Is this model the same?

The Aerroccino frother makes the most thick and amazing sweet foam you've ever had with no work - other than keeping the unit clean. We have been using our C100 for about a month and a half now and simply love it.

Just read the reviews below. I, too, have a Capresso in my beach house. I use both, but the Capresso is a better product. I wouldn't buy the CBTL again. Just too many problems with it.

I've done the Rosso and was very pleased with it, as I have been with all the Vino Italiano Reds. In general I tend to prefer them to the more expensive brands.

Yes, this the same one. My wife is the one who did the research and found this model listed here on Amazon for a better price than other retailers. I'm very happy with it so far.

I have only used them in my Nespresso Citiz, so cannot give advice on the Essenza. However, my experience with the capsules was mixed. Although they fit my machine, the quality of the finished coffee was not nearly as good as the Nespresso caps....I tried several brands to make sure. Also, sadly it seemed to only produce decent coffee on the espresso setting, not on the lungo setting. It was a nice idea, but not good enough to please me - I have gone back to using the Nespresso capsules.

I have seen multiple listings for the same products before. I look at each one to compare the difference - some could be newer models. I typically order from the listing if Amazon sells it.As for the comment about buying an Ergo. They are good, a friend bought one, keep in mind that if you have an infant you may need to by the insert as well.Which ever carrier you buy I highly recommend following the instructions or getting help from some one who knows how. We got help from a local business that knew how to use it properly and we have had no issues with the Becco besides putting slip covers over the plastic snaps.

I think it's up to you...that's pretty much the Capresso way! This is our experience, having had their other more upscale models for years. If it helps, we use "drip" or "perk" (percolator)". Buy a little of each and see what resonates for the strength you like, that is what we did,

You are correct, as I noticed that myself. The bigger older ones are model# KFC3100 and the smaller newer ones have model# KFC3511. Now I have to start my review process all over as these are two different machines and most likely I will just move on to another brand as they are selling these two different units as the same and they clearly are not!

I am having the same problem with the puck, and weak taste. I assumed that a $350 machine with high build quality would be designed for the enthusiast, not the amateur who wants easy espresso "crema" (reference to the pressurized porta filter). I am going to order the open filter which relies more on grind and tamp to create a real shot. Anything that is easy almost always introduces a compromise along the way.I replaced my broken EC100 (cheapo $125 unit) with this hoping for a real step up. On my old unit, I tore out the pin hole foam squirter and was actually making some splendid shots! But the pump and heating element are cheap on the Capresso.

Yes, they are very similar. Great quality algo, I've been suing these for more over a year.

The capsules come as milk or coffee. Fir instance the cappuccino would be made from 2 capsules ie 1 milk and 1 coffee. Whereas the american houseblend is just 1 coffee capsule and you may want to add milk and sugar after depending on your preference. its teally easy to make though. i would definitely recommend it.

I think that it is a different brand. I'm very satisfied with this one, and have reordered as well as given a couple to family. My advice is to read reviews for both types.

With the Rivo system you can brew excellent cappuccinos and lattes using the high pressure that it affords. The cappuccinos made with the Kcup system are not good. We bought both units that serve our coffee habits perfectly. Enjoy!

Yes. They are the same formula and taste as in Spain. The strawberry cream is soooo delicious too!

Yes it does. makes coffee, espresso, lattes, even has a cappucino thingy. My hubby got it and he loves it so much its ridiculous.

Our machine has been fantastic! Still has great pressure after nearly 9 years of near daily use. The cappuccino is more up to you (the grind and how tightly you prefer to pack the cup), our machine has done the job. Also be sure always clean up after using steam nozzle, as it won't vent well the next time if there is build-up.
