Briel's Mutli-Pro EG281 espresso machine is backed by the company's 30-plus years in the coffee business, and it shows--this model's focused on presenting café-quality espresso and cappuccino to the home user. To get this high quality, the EG281 has a number of extraordinary features, starting with the attached grinder. The grinder's many settings, from very fine to coarse, account for the many types of beans available. When using different beans, it should be adjusted to find the ideal grind; the adjustment is also necessary to find the right grind in differing temperatures and humidity levels. After the proper grind is found, it places exactly 7 grams, the required amount for one cup of espresso, into the holder. This Briel also gives a lot of control over the final product, due in part to its Auto Espresso Flow system. This system lets the coffee strength be set according to taste--from a strong, Italian-style short cup to a larger, less-robust brew. The espresso is brewed at the required 190 degrees F, and the machine has 15 bars of pump pressure. And it's speedy, making two cups in about 35 seconds. It also makes good cappuccino, thanks to its included frothing wand, which has its own temperature control. Some other nice features include a CremaMaster filter, which provides a richer crema on each espresso, and an exterior water lever indicator. In shining stainless steel and sturdy black plastic, this machine won't shame any counter. It has 1,360 watts of power and measures 16-1/4 by 12-1/4 by 10 inches (length by height by depth).--A.J.
