Customers are impressed with the Bellissimo Semi-Automatic Espresso Machine's ability to make good quality espresso and its ease of use. The design is also well-received, and many feel the machine offers great overall performance. However, some customers have expressed concerns about the grinder's durability, the noise level, the necessity of the Wi-Fi feature, and the difficulty of cleaning the hopper.
I don’t know why I didn’t get an espresso machine sooner. It has changed my mornings. No more s.bucks runs. I can recreate any coffee shop recipe and the use/ cleaning is very very easy. You just have to be aware of what you’re doing especially with the steam wand. The design is very nice with the copper accents and very good material. I also appreciate the app for it, you can set your single and double shot settings how you like it & depending on the beans you are using. It also sends reminders if the water is running low

Bought this cause i love cooper which the accents looked good and a nice looking machine to display on my coffee station. The holder is easy enough to shake out the puck which was an issue on last macine. The grinder is useless as is clogs easy, switched to simple stanalone grinder for beans. There was a terrible water leak everytime is made expresso. It would drip from the bottom and warp the wood on my station so i was constantly wiping up. Found the back right part of the tray had a top cover piece where the water drained and opening was to small so it would leak around the tray and out the front. Removed that top cover piece to widen the opening and good now.

I purchased the Cafe Bellissimo on Black Friday 2021 from Best Buy and it’s great! I’ve been making lattes everyday for a close to a year without issue. It’s actually manufactured by GE and comes with everything you’d need to make espresso drinks. The machine has built-in connectivity and notifies you on your mobile phone or tablet of any issues or when it’s time for routine maintenance. It also steam cleans itself after every use to minimize scaling — other more expressive “B”rands don’t have this feature. A note of advice — if you get this machine, please read the instructions and pay particular attention to the grinder settings. Other buyers gave this product one star because of a “grinder defect” or ‘grinder malfunction’ which is misleading and from my experience somewhat incorrect. The grinder will shut off if something gets stuck in it which can occur for various reasons, e.g. the grind setting is too fine for the grade or size of the bean. All you have to do is adjust the grind setting to a larger one by rotating the bean hopper counterclockwise slightly and tapping it to clear the issue. That’s all you have to do instead of packing up the product and shipping it back or returning it to a store. I’m really happy with this machine and my friends who’ve stayed with us want it too after learning how much it costs, seeing how easy it is to make espresso drinks and tasting our lattes every morning.
