I Masanielli makes, on average, a thousand pizzas per day and has a team of 42 staff, including 16 in the kitchen.

In all my tests, the heavier presses performed better as all-around tools.The lightweight Made In press made great smash burgers, but wasn’t a contender for pressing a panino.

If you’re looking for a multi-purpose press, heavier is better in this case.. Food & Wine.In general, I found that larger presses are more versatile.Whether that be for panini and smash burgers as I tested, or bacon, steaks, or other applications.

Large rectangular and round presses performed the best, while smaller presses were more singular in purpose, like pressing meat only..I encountered frustration during testing when the presses had narrow handles.

The most common handle design features two upright metal supports that attach to the handle.

These metal supports conduct heat, and the narrow handle allowed the heat to conduct directly into my hand.For those homes that just can’t narrow down to one blend, a Nespresso variety pack is the perfect crowd-pleaser.

The dark roast collection is our favorite option, with 10 pods each of five different coffees..This assortment includes the Firenze Arpeggio and Ristretto Italiano featured above, along with top sellers Roma, Napoli, and Palermo Kazaar.

Roma offers a full and balanced flavor profile with earthy, toasted notes at a mid-range intensity of 8.Napoli is among the brand’s most intense brews (it earns the highest possible intensity rating of 13), with a dark, creamy appearance and bitter finish that will please traditionalists.
