The Bottom Line
An upgrade from Cuisinart's base entry-level model, the EM-200 adds programmability to the mix with properly-extracted shots at the push of a button and a larger 64 oz water reservoir that make it a little easier to use.

Cuisinart EM-200 Overview

The Cuisinart EM-200 has the same build and structure as the Cuisinart EM-100 but adds programmable functionality to take it to the next level.

(Plus, its water reservoir is massive for its size at 64 oz.)

Instead of turning the knob to pull your shot and manually timing the extraction yourself, the EM-200 pulls your shot at the push of a button with no manual timing required.

The EM-200 has two brew buttons:

  • Single shot: 1.5 oz
  • Double shot: 3.0 oz

You can customize the volumes, though!

However, the manual steam wand does still need to be run and timed by the home barista. The knob to control the steam wand is located on the right side of the machine.

Pros
Cons

Is the Cuisinart EM-200 for you?

Are Cuisinart EM-200 for you?

When you’re shopping for espresso machines in this price range, you know you aren’t getting professional quality.

Understanding that, the Cuisinart EM-200 gives decent espresso and steamed milk at the push of a button from a compact machine.

Both the Cuisinart EM-100 and this EM-200 are capable of pulling the same quality shots with the same quality foam.

They also run on the same internal components — the only difference is the EM-200’s programmable, push-button brew options and slightly larger water reservoir.

Cuisinart DGB-550 Grind & Brew

Cuisinart DGB-550 Grind & Brew
Overall Rating: 84
An all-included Grind & Brew coffee maker, the Cuisinart DGB-550 brews up to 60 oz pots using your favorite whole bean coffee. Unfortunately, it's a blade grinder. For a better burr grinder, check out the DGB-900 instead.

Cuisinart DGB-650 Grind & Brew

Cuisinart DGB-650 Grind & Brew
Overall Rating: 84
The Cuisinart DGB-650 is the best Cuisinart machine with a blade grinder. Unfortunately, that makes it inferior to the DGB-700 and higher. On the plus side, it comes with a thermal carafe.

About The Coffee Maven
bryan de luca
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!
