This machine is great for the price does great coffee don’t be scared if the frothing stop working that means it needs deep cleaning we use 3 times ever single day and have to deep clean it every two weeks full cycle hope it helps

Machine works as intended and works well when it comes to making the drink. The loading of the espresso is a little taxing (especially in the morning) as the lock mechanism has to be done very particularly. Overall great product.

After 2 weeks, it is no longer producing smooth or creamy froth, it is just warm milk with a few bubbles on top, and the temperature is about 105F only. Cleaned the machine daily after use. Checked the nozzle and it did not seem it was clogged.

Reasonable cost, easy to use, and it makes a solid cup of coffee. It takes a couple minutes to get started, but brews quick after that. It is a little loud at first, but not bad for an espresso maker. Makes a smooth latte or cappuccino. Wish it would brew a bit hotter, but other than that, I'm impressed, especially for the low cost.

Christmas Gift Purchase

Bought this item as a Christmas gift for someone, but I did get to sample the coffee and latte that the machine makes when they opened it up on Christmas morning I like the coffee it made and the way it worked and the person I got it for really loves it Based based on Howard performed I feel that it was a very good purchase.

I recently tried the bella PRO - Barista Elite Espresso Drink Station+ with Oatmilk, and while it has some nice features, there are a few things to consider.
The machine itself is easy to use and works well for making espresso drinks, especially if you’re just looking for a small, quick cup. However, I found that the measuring cup provided doesn’t align well with the filter holder. The amount of coffee it measures ends up being too much, making it difficult to properly insert the filter into the machine.
If you’re someone who doesn’t drink much coffee, this might not be an issue and could actually be a good fit. But if you prefer a standard or larger cup, you’ll likely need to run the machine 2–3 times just to have enough to drink, which can be a bit inconvenient.
Overall, it’s a decent option for light coffee drinkers, but the portion size and measuring inconsistency are definite drawbacks.

Great buy, loved the machine and easy to get the hang of, made some pretty solid coffees with this bad boy

I got it on deal of the day for $69.99 and if you want something cheap that gets the job done without breaking the bank, this is a great product. I definitely think it’s a core starter product, but not as well made as the Ninja Luxe.

Allows you to make a latte or cappuccino pretty hands off. It's not the best latte or cappuccino, but if you want something easy this will do it. Would be nice if there was also an external steamer wand.

This expresso maker was perfect, except there is a metallic taste and smile the comes from the black top part of the milk frother container. We ran it though cycles, washed it etc and the taste of metal is still there. We had to return it because it was undrinkable. I know of others who have had this problem. Definitely something the manufacturer needs to look at and resolve. Other than that it's great and would have received 5 stars. I would not recommend UNTIL they fix the metal issue.

Not worth the money in my opinion. It's okay if you like warm drinks. It doesn't get hot enough. I returned it to buy a better machine. The frother didn't work like it was supposed to either.

Good but not great

Good but not the best. Froth option gives cold milk and need to use oven again to heat the beverage. Steam option would have made it even better.

I absolutely love this espresso maker! The auto frother is a game changer — it creates perfectly creamy foam with little to no effort. The machine is incredibly easy to use, even for someone who isn’t a barista. If you want barista-level drinks without the barista-level skill (or pants), this machine is a winner. Highly recommend!

I’ve been really impressed with the bella PRO Barista Elite Espresso Drink Station+. It looks great on the counter and feels well-built for the price. The espresso comes out rich and smooth, and the built-in milk system makes it super easy to create lattes and cappuccinos at home. I also like how simple the controls are—no steep learning curve. Cleaning is straightforward, which is a big plus for daily use. Overall, it’s a great option if you want café-style drinks without spending a fortune.
