Bella Pro Series - Pro Series Espresso Machine with 5 bars of pressure and Milk Frother - Stainless Steel

I agree with everyone that this is a great coffee / espresso machine specially based on its price and the quality you are able to get. In my opinion the machine could be just a little better for the price. The top of the glass where the coffee / espresso is dispense is plastic and within just a month of use the plastic started to melt with the heat and while I can still put it on, I am assuming that with just a few more months it will be so burnt that it will no longer close or be used for its intended purpose. I have tried to use the machine without the lid and what ends up happening is that as the last bits of the espresso are being release theres a lot of splash going on so everything around my machine ends up having drops of coffee and the counters, etc. This is my biggest pet peeve with this machine. Other than that, you want to double check always the machine being off, I've forgot about it now at least twice. There is no noise or notification that its on so you want to double check. Also, if you take the bottom piece out to clean it the pieces are a bit flimsy and break easily.

Espresso machine works good but the coffee it makes is not as good as espresso should be. The machine throws all the steam when it finishes the espresso making leaving nothing stored. There is no shut down or automatic pause for the amount of espresso you need. It will make all the water you already put in it without stop. There is no automatic turn off so you might forget to turn it off sometimes if you used to use automatic turn of machine. It’s worth the discounted price

Let me put it this way if you have just finished perfecting your pour over coffee and you’re ready to learn more about espresso. This is a excellent low-cost starting point, but there are some catches. This does not hold any steam and it does not really shut off which can cause some issues sometimes because I left it on for two days once and didn’t realize it. There’s no ready indicator Its just kind of always is in a brewing state.  the materials are plastic you can break pretty easy if you let it. And I’m pretty sure this isn’t a standard espresso puck size so fine tools off Amazon don’t really benefit you hear. My advice with this product is to buy it learn how to make a general cup of espresso and then by the right product. This is a very low rates low cost way to explore the very, very very, very expensive world that you’re about to find yourself into. Have fun turning yourself into a little at home barista. 

Use with caution. I picked this up not even a montg ago and it exploded on me yesterday. Water and steam literally went 4 feet in diameter soaking me from head to toes. Thank god I wasn’t burnt. Thinking it was user error, I double checked and the inside of the cap was cracked and leaking.

My daughter has asked for an expresso due to the rising prices in Starbucks. She said she can get more bang for her making her own vs paying someone else. Ease of use & worth $20!

Bought as a gift for my girlfriend and so far it's been good machine. She uses it almost every morning and it's holding up well, easy to setup and use. only issue I had was the box arrived in pretty rough shape but everything inside was intact so no real problem there.

Great product with a great price! It makes delicious espresso for a fraction of the price of other machines

Excelente produc very nice works very well and is easy to use
