  • It works with powdered coffee.
  • The removable tank makes filling simple.
  • Automatic shutdown and sleep mode are built in.

What customers don't like about Ariete 00M135811AR0

  • At 480 W it is slow to warm up.
  • There is no overheat protection, so it needs watching while it runs.
  • The steam wand is the only way to froth milk, so it is all done by hand.
  • There is no descaling program.
  • There is no drip tray full indicator, so you check the tray yourself.

Verdict

The Ariete 00M135811AR0 brings real espresso gear to a small kitchen, with a 15 bar pump, a portafilter and a steam wand. The 15 bar pump is the pressure espresso is normally made at. At 480 W it is slow to warm up, so expect to wait. Powdered coffee works too, and the removable tank makes filling simple. The steam wand is the only way to froth milk, so you do it by hand. Automatic shutdown and sleep mode are built in. The main trade-off is safety. There is no overheat protection, so the machine needs watching while it runs. It suits a buyer on a tight budget who wants to learn espresso and milk drinks step by step and does not mind a bit of practice.
