Customer Ratings & Reviews

I’m so happy with my new Bella Espresso Machine! From the moment I unboxed it, it felt like I brought a little coffee shop into my kitchen. The design is sleek and compact, perfect for my counter space, yet it still has lots of great features. The machine heats up quickly and makes a smooth, rich espresso shot with a great crema. The frother works beautifully for lattes and cappuccinos, and it’s easy to clean after each use. What I really love is how simple it is to operate—even if you’re not a barista, you can whip up delicious café-style drinks in minutes. It also comes with nice accessories that make it feel complete and user-friendly. For the price, I think it’s an amazing value with lots of amenities for everyday coffee lovers. If you’re looking for a budget-friendly espresso machine that doesn’t compromise on taste or style, I definitely recommend this one! ☕✨

It’s a good machine to see if this type of machine is for you. It’s fairly easy to use and also keep clean. It takes a few times to get the hang of using it. For my first espresso machine, the quality is perfect. Whenever this machine gets to the end of its life, I’ll probably move up into a more durable machine. For a first machine, the price is very good and other than that, no real issues.

I love this little espresso machine! It’s the perfect espresso station for my household! The size is great for this first time espresso station owner, it’s well made comes with all the necessary accessories and easy to use! Did I mention that it takes up minimal counter space? I have never dabbled with an espresso machine and always wanted one, we own a Keurig coffee machine, as well as a slow drip with filter machine, I wanted to upgrade to something else and I am glad I purchased this one! The instructions are straight forward, the machine has four buttons and easy to assemble to make your own espresso! Finding the perfect coffee and learning a little about latte art has made this the best experience!

This machine works as good as the expensive ones. Makes very good espresso. I also like that it is compact and easy to work with.

As a certified coffee lover, getting the Bella Barista Elite Espresso Station (20-Bar) from Best Buy felt like bringing a little café into my kitchen, and let me tell you, it did not disappoint. The 20-bar high-pressure system makes a huge difference. It consistently delivers rich, flavorful espresso with that smooth crema on top that I usually only get from coffee shops. It also heats up quickly, is easy to clean, and looks sleek on the counter (a small detail, but it makes me smile every time I see it). The frother works great too, giving that perfect foam for homemade lattes. Honestly, this was one of my favorite purchases lately. If you love coffee and want that barista feel at home without breaking the bank, this is a winner.

Great Espresso machine for the price. The good thing about it, is that you can use regular coffee as well as finely grounded espresso beans. In addition to this Bella Pro espresso machine, I have a Breville espresso machine & the coffee/espresso made with the Bella is just as good as the Breville. You can't beat the price. I bought a 2nd one for a gift. The 9nly negative thing is that the pucks on the Bella Pro are watery and not as easy to discard. Other than that if you are just starting out in making home espresso and fancy coffee drinks, then the Bella Pro is the way to go!

This machine produces excellent espresso. Don't hesitate because of the low cost. IMPORTANT... Before you start for the very first time, you need to lift and drop the reservoir about 50 to 75 times to prime the water. You will see little bubbles come up. If you do not do this, it will just run and no water comes through. Almost returned as it appeared to not work. No need for priming for all the subsequent pulls. I use Pete's Coffee beans, Major Dickason's blend, dark roast, ground to the finest setting with a burr grinder. Tamped with a 51 mm coffee tamper with spring. I use the cup to measure the amount of beans to grind. It produces coffee with lovely crema and tastes really great. I've produced probably about 75 cups of coffee over the past 2 months. The steam wand can froth milk very nicely. However, I've mostly used it to warm the cup before a pull. It comes with 2 filter cups, but so far have been using the larger one. Clean up is quite fast. I use a drop of dish soap to rinse the cup and filter, and a wet paper towel to wipe up. It makes fantastic expresso without breaking the bank.

I’ve only used it a few times, but so far it’s great. I’m new to expresso making so It’s a learning curve. It’s small and sleek which is nice if you don’t have a lot of room.

Love this coffee maker. Makes delicious coffee fast and easy. Like the oatmeal design too, looks good in the kitchen. When I was picking up there was water in the water tank lime someone used it and returned it this way. But I decided to give it a try

Perfect for someone who wants to start learning how to make drinks at home ! Love this machine. Would just say the only down side to it, is that you cannot use the steaming wand at the same time are your shots are queuing.

Cannot reccomend enough. A friend has a "very, very fancy" machine - but I have been able to make espresso/lattes which are just as delicious with this. Heats up fast, steam wand does fantastic. Worked great right out of the box without playing with the volume for single vs. double shots. Even better once you tinker. Two things to note: 1. The first start-up priming/cleaning process took a while to get through, it was worth the time investment. 2. The steam is VERY hot (which is great), but be careful as the tabe to move the steam wand it a little bit on the smaller side.

I've always wanted to have an espresso machine that isn't as expensive as the other products on the market. I was surprised to see this device that fit my liking with the features and price in mind. Being less expensive doesn't mean it does not give out a good extraction of your coffee infact the taste of the coffee it produced is same with those in coffee shops with their fancy equipment. Me and my wife used it approximately 3 to 5 times everyday since we got it and it had never failed. This is why I'm giving this product 5 stars for the review.

This is a great starter machine for those who are trying to stop getting coffee out so often. I got it on sale around Christmas back in 2024 and I’ve already made back the money that I spent on it. It’s perfect for making a strong espresso with a nice crema for your lattes or cappuccinos. However, if you usually like your coffee steeping hot I wouldn’t recommend the steam wand. The steam wand does work, but it takes forever for the milk to get to a decent temperature and it never creates a micro foam (at least for me). I don’t mind since my drinks are typically iced, but if you like to do latte art then maybe look at another machine. Otherwise, I love this thing! As long as you have espresso grounds, brown sugar, and your milk of choice at home you are good to go!

I thank God that I read the instruction manual first and learned that I had to purge the machine before using it. I did it with only water and then it worked very well. For a cheap machine, it works almost like a professional one. The steam is strong and the milk comes out hot and foamy. I have used it for one month and it works great.

“The Bella Pro Series coffee maker is fantastic. It brews coffee quickly and consistently, and the flavor is rich and smooth every time. I love the large water reservoir and the programmable settings. It’s a great addition to any kitchen.”

This is a very good home espresso maker that hits above its weight class, especially for the price point. If you’re serious about espresso, you might eventually upgrade, but for everyday coffee lovers and beginners, this machine is a great value!!

This is my first espresso machine and I absolutely love it. Very easy to set up and use . The espresso tastes great as well. No more drip coffee for me, this machine is my go to now.

I actually liked it!! For its price and what it does. At work they have a breville but i wont spend over 500 on cofee. This machine does the trick.

I am in no way a barista but let me tell you, this little machine works really well. I bought one for myself for work and once people at work saw how great it was, two more people bought one for themselves and I have two other people considering it as well. For the sale price it's at, it's well worth the money. Absolutely recommend this Bella Pro espresso machine!

This machine is incredibly awesome for the price I paid! It was on sale for 39.99. I took a chance and it paid off! A couple of important things to note regarding operation and getting a good espresso shot. First, read the instructions and prime the machine according to instructions. Second, fill the filter up almost to the top and use a lot of pressure to tamp it. Lastly after you select the shot size , realize that although the machine is automatic you can hit the button again to stop or restart the shot manually. This was a game changer for getting the taste I wanted for my shot. Once you do this, the machine can remember the last shot and replicate it on the next shot but I noticed that I like more control over my shots so I still use it manually. I hope this helps those who have had trouble with operating this machine. Oh, don’t use cheap ground coffee but invest in whole beans and grind the right before use. That is non negotiable lol!
