Kalorik Espresso Maker Cafeteria Express EXP25022
- Affordable
- Compact
- Smooth flavor
- Doesn't create true espresso
Experts say that although steam-driven espresso machines don't produce enough pressure to create a true espresso, the Kalorik EXP25022 comes close. Testers at Good Housekeeping say it produces only a small amount of crema, but that the coffee tastes more like it came from a French press than an espresso machine. Still, editors say that the flavor is smooth.
We found a thorough review of the Kalorik EXP25022 at Good Housekeeping, where editors test espresso machines and describe their findings. We did not find many user reviews for the machine, though there are a few at Walmart.com, where owner feedback is mixed.

Editors of Good Housekeeping say that the Kalorik EXP25022, like all steam espresso machines, doesn't produce enough pressure to make an authentic espresso, but it comes closer than other steam machines. The resulting coffee is smooth in flavor.
