Sony Bravia KDL32W550 0U Television

!±8± Sony Bravia KDL32W550 0U Television

There is a huge range of Sony Bravia LCD TV's and the KDL32W550 0U is one of these, and they are at the top of the range. Although the 1920x1080p Full HD panel is now pretty standard, the "W" series displays was one of the first.

These feature full LCD televisions are very affordable and this particular model has 4 HDMI inputs as well as Applicast, which enables the unit to be connected to the internet. A USB port allows for handling of all types of photo, video or music files and it also comes with an Ethernet jack with which DLNA PC files can be stored, or can be used for the Applicast service.

Technology used includes 100Hz Motionflow and of course the Bravia engine image processing. Retailers are stocking these TV's at reasonable pricing and this is one of the more attractive aspects of buying this technologically advanced TV.

It consists of a 32" screen although it does not look as large as this because of the attractive glossy black bezel which frames it. They come packed with a protective film over all the parts which may get scratched. So one has to assume that these parts should be kept well protected! But this is the way of the world, even out cell phones come with these protective coverings and they get scratched eventually with use.

This is a compact 32" television with a relatively small footprint so if you are short on space, it may be ideal for your use. I think it is a great looking television, although I have seen some reviewers say that they prefer the looks of the 32E5500 model. It is all a matter of taste really and if you think it looks good, you are the one who has to live with it.

Most Sony screens have a "Wega Gate" type menu, but the Sony KDL32W550 0U has done away with this for a more innovative user interface, much the same as the interface used by the Sony PlayStation 3. This is a very neat concept and I really like it, however other people may prefer the more traditional menus. The menu is displayed with icons rather than words such as "color", "contrast" et cetera, so they may take some getting used to.

If you are a techie, you won't have a problem with the menus, but my 75 year old father may have difficulty in knowing what the heck is going on. Then again it is highly unlikely he is going to go out and purchase one of these TV's, he reckons the Sony he already has, must last him for the rest of his life, and it is after all a Sony, so it more than likely will.

The video processor is really good, perhaps not the best on the market, but certainly more than passable. Most of the people who are going to be using these television sets, probably wouldn't know the difference, it is only if you know what to look for that you see how effectively it smoothes flicker.

In conclusion, if you want a great looking TV at a great price and want it to get admiring glances from your friends, buy the Sony KDL32W550 0U Bravia. You won't go wrong, it's a Sony!

Automatic Espresso Machines: Pros and Cons

!±8± Automatic Espresso Machines: Pros and Cons

Almost as Easy As It Gets

If it's a satisfying, deep, rich, crema-topped espresso that you're after, and with as little work and knowledge necessary as possible, than it's tough to beat an automatic espresso machine. An automatic espresso machine eliminates nearly all the work for you by requiring you to do nothing more than pour in your preferred choice of espresso beans. It will then grind the beans, tamp the coffee, and extract an espresso shot. No matter your skill level, delicious and efficient espresso will be just moments away at any time.

The Basics

To use an automatic espresso machine, the barista simply pours in whole coffee beans. A built in coffee-grinder than grinds the beans to the exact grind best suited for espresso. It will then dispense a dose between 5 and 16 grams of coffee. A typical shot of espresso is 7 grams, but depending upon the machine, some machines will allow you to choose between 6 and 9 grams per shot. The machine will then tamp the dose down properly into an espresso pellet. Because unevenly tamped or loose coffee causes a poor extraction, this is a crucial step and having it automatically performed is just one more way to achieve consistent quality. Finally, the head will draw pressurized steam through the pellet at a predetermined BAR pressure for the highest possible extraction possible.

Always Consistent

Even the most inexperienced home barista can consistently make high-quality espresso using an automatic espresso machine. All of the variants are instantly eliminated. This is also a benefit for coffee shops that have a high rate of hiring/training, because it requires much less time to familiarize a new barista to espresso making with an automatic machine than with a manual. It also ensures consistent quality that tastes the same every time by eliminating the variations present in tamping, timing and the pressure of a manual espresso machine.

More or Less

Because automatic espresso machines do nearly everything, every automatic espresso machine will grind beans, tamp coffee and extract a shot of espresso. However, there are additional features available, as based on your wants, needs and budget. You can choose to connect the machine to a water reservoir which would even eliminate the need to pour in water, and you can also choose a model with automatic milk frothers and dispensers. Options also include the number of shots you want to make at once, which generally ranges from one to three. The amount of bar pressure will vary, typically from 9 to 18. And, of course, the special features that include things like LCD screens, heated cup warmers, milk steam wands, the option to use pods, pre-grinding, pre-brewing and multi-position flow selectors are all dependent upon personal preference.

Is It For You?

If you don't feel confident in your ability to tamp coffee or pull a good extraction, then an automatic espresso machine is one of the best choices. You'll be able to make good, quality espresso quickly and efficiently, with consistent results. However, if you welcome a challenge and want to be able to control things like the grind and the length and pressure of the extraction, then you'll want a manual espresso machine that gives you freedom to change these variables to meet your specific preferences.
