Lello makes an impressive and rather inexpensive line of Ariete model cappuccino machines for brewing espresso, frothing milk for cappuccino, breve, and/or latte, or just making a simple cup of cafe americano. The construction of the machine is solid stainless steel. The weight of the machine prevents it from sliding around when one is loading coffee pods or grounds. Also, even though the Lellos are usually equipped with small wattage heaters (like a 950 Watt heater for the 1375 Ariete pictured below), the water that is being pumped through is quickly heated up to the ideal temperature for making steam. Here are some additional specifications:
- 950-watt espresso/cappuccino machine made of heavy-duty stainless steel
- ThermoBlock 15-bar pump-driven system provides uniform, constant pump pressure
- Removable 2-1/4-quart water reservoir can be refilled from the top at any time
- Cup warming area allows up to 9 cups to be warmed before use
- Measures 9-1/2 by 9-1/4 by 12-1/2 inches; 1-year limited warranty
