    Best at home espresso maker Ive owned. Easy to use and great value. I have had this for over a year and use it several times a day and it stilll works flawlessly. Just make sure to follow the cleaning instructions and use filtered water and it will last!

    So I have only owned the product just over a month now. I extremely happy with it. I would consider this kinda a low end model at a price of around 750-1000$ making good espresso even with a great machine has to do with a lot of things. Coffee amount grind etc… the problems I had with making a great cup of espresso was operator error not the machine. I’ve got the thing dialed in after several different YouTube videos. This is an awesome maker . I did a lot of research, it’s not the best but as far as quality and price point it’s a 10 in my book. I would purchase again even if it breaks down tomorrow cause I bought the extended warranty.

    Grinder broke & put metal shards in coffee grounds

    I bought this machine 8 months ago . It worked great at first. Then the machine went complelty down hil, I noticed the floor became strange & then I found metal shards in my espresso grind. Disgusting & very dangerous after taking with costumer service. I took off the grinder cap & found the metal part has been breaking apart( I’m not sure how long which is scary as well) I’ve only ever used high quiltly regular whole beans. I stopped using the grinder & after 2 weeks, the epresso pressure machine no longer works. It’s a 700 $ machine that only lasted 9 months & has a serious defect putting metal into the coffee grounds. I’ve spent the last 3 weeks dealing with customer service via email & phone calls. It’s been a horrible exp. After doing every video & update for them. They have not come up with a replacement & never sent any kind of repair email.( I’ve called & emailed again) & nothing in regards to the repair. It’s under a 2 year warranty. They have been a nightmare tondela with and have not honored the warranty and come up with no solution for a dangerously defective product. I now have to review to find a solution. If de long I go can email directly back. I’m on the phone with costumer service for the 10th time. I need a replacement or way to send in for repair

    Pricey but so worth it!! I buy whole beans from Whole Foods & can make myself my favorite drinks!! Very easy way I saved a lot of money drinking coffee out & became more sustainable by limiting the disposable cups!

    It took a bit to figure out the settings, but I love the quality of the coffee this machine produces. I did by a larger pitcher to improve the microfoam in my morning cappuccinos.

    This machine is wonderful. It definitely takes some time and patience to dial it in. But once you figure it out, Starbucks or your go to coffee shop will be the thing of the past. I do recommend fresh beans from your local sourced coffee shop and manual dosing rather than store bought beans straight into the hopper and the machine doing the dosing for double shots. This machine is worth it for all the coffee I would be drinking out!

    Takes a few tries to calibrate grind level and and grind amount, but once you figure that out your making coffee and quickly. Just as good as the coffee house. Payback on this machine will be immediate, though expect to spend another $100 or so on accessories, coffee, flavors, etc. If youre able and love coffee, this is the machine!

    The grinder and espresso combination is a perfect match. The grinder is of great quality and offers a large variation on grind. The espresso is perfect once you get the grind dialed in. I don’t usually froth milk but when I do the cup made is better than any coffee shop. This machine will help you avoid wasting $5 on a cup of coffee every day. If you combine it with great quality coffee bean, there is nothing better.

    I have looked at this machine for quite a while. I am glad I finally gave in and bought it. Do I still get coffee out? Yes of course, but it’s wonderful when you want a good cup of coffee at home. It took a few grinds to get the settings correct but get it, you won’t be disappointed.
