Cuisinart EM-1000 Overview

The “Espresso Defined” model from Cuisinart, the EM-1000 is Cuisinart’s version of an all-in-one super-automatic espresso machine.

It comes with all the bells and whistles you’d expect from a do-it-all espresso machine:

LCD touch screen
Bypass doser for pre-ground coffee
Custom grind size
Custom milk volume
Custom brew temperature
Custom strength control
Remembers settings for up to 4 users

And it works just like any other super-automatic espresso machine.

Fill it with beans
Choose your settings, including grind size
Select a beverage type
Press start
Wait and enjoy

Pros

Super-automatic functionality does it all from grind to foam
LCD touch screen is easy to use
Brew group is easy to clean

Cons

Doesn’t come with a milk jug for steamed milk
Concerns about durability
Espresso is good-not-great

More Cuisinart Reviews From The Coffee Maven

Cuisinart DGB-700 Grind & Brew

Overall Rating: 87

The lowest model number of all nearly-identical Cuisinart Grind & Brew coffee makers, the DGB-700 has the same settings and specs as the others and comes with a glass carafe. All lower model numbers have blade grinders.

Cuisinart EM-600 Buona Tazza

Overall Rating: 84

An easy-to-use, capsule-based espresso machine, the Cuisinart EM-600 Buona Tazza uses illy brand capsules and an integrated frother for one-touch specialty beverages. While effective, we prefer Nespresso's latte system.

About The Coffee Maven

Bryan De Luca

I'm Bryan but most people know me as The Coffee Maven. I grew up outside Boston, Massachusetts and received my Bachelor's degree in Biochemistry from Providence College. My first introduction to coffee was during my college days, when I used it as a source of caffeine to fuel late-night study sessions, but soon I became obsessed with the chemistry of coffee. How did changes to water temperature or contact time affect its taste? Why do beans from Africa taste fruity while beans from Indonesia taste spicy? I launched The Coffee Maven in February 2017 to explore these questions and help others brew their perfect cup. Welcome to my site, and thanks for reading!
