- Does the Cuisinart EM-200 come with a grinder?
- No. It has no integrated grinder, so you need a separate burr grinder for fresh beans. The included pressurized basket tolerates pre-ground coffee.
- Can it pull two shots at once?
- Yes. It has two brew spouts and a double basket, so you can fill two cups in one extraction.
- How does it compare with the Gaggia Classic?
- The EM-200 is easier to program and cheaper to own, but the Gaggia has a commercial 58mm portafilter, better temperature stability and far more spare parts.
- Is the steam wand good for latte art?
- It can froth milk, but owners say the steam is slow and wet, so tight microfoam for latte art is difficult.
- What is in the box?
- The machine, a portafilter with single and double pressurized baskets, a measuring scoop and tamper, and a manual.
- Does it need plumbing?
- No. It uses a removable 64-oz water tank that you refill by hand.
- Where is the Cuisinart EM-200NP1 cheapest?
- At Kohl's, for $395.99, as of our latest check.
