I’ve been making expresso shots for years with breville & krups machines. I got this bella pro last week, and it is not really noisy and has a 20 bar pressure. I never use the frother, but it works great!

It is super easy to use. Plug it in. Load coffee grinds in the wand. Wait for the buttons to stop blinking and then press single shot or double shot. I don't use the frothing wand as I have an electric mug from Bodum that does that for me so I never worry about getting burned.

Brews quickly, froth nice and smooth, it's just the right size; doesn't take up much counter space. It's great to have around when you need an espresso fast. Delicious!

Took me a while to get a decent shot of espresso. Output of espresso ounces is way off. I tried to program it, but it just wouldn’t work. I couldn’t get the steamer to stop leaking water so I can actually steam and froth my milk. And it is very very loud. I expected some noise out of it, but not for it to wake up my sleeping baby while in her room with the door closed is crazy lol. With all that being said, I still had to give it a try now I know it’s not for me and I will probably gift it or return it. And make the investment into a different espresso machine.

This product was excellent, not just because it is easy to use. When I saw the price, I had doubts, because most of these products are very expensive, besides the brand was unknown, but I took a risk and decided to buy it. The result was amazing, and I went back to the store and I bought other one for some friend for he birthday present.

I got this on sale for $40 and it’s what you would expect for the most part. It brews the espresso perfectly, but the frother doesn’t work very well. It takes a long time to heat the milk and does not foam well.

Great little espresso machine. The is take a lot to prime it when you first start using it and the instructive don't tell you that you have to hit the button 15+ times before it will work. But once you get it going its great.

Good quality, inexpensive, and appealing.
Am now able to make an espresso from home!

Every shot I pulled from this machine had a crazy amount of crema. It was very simple and easy to use once I read the manual. The only thing I haven’t quite figured out is how to get the coffee grounds less wet after I pull a shot. But I believe that is a user error and not an issue with the machine. I absolutely love this machine and at this price it’s a steal!

Good for espresso, bad for steamed milk

This machine does a reasonably good job of actually pulling espresso shots. The main issue we had is that the steaming performance is poor. We don't get a strong steady jet of steam, but rather a gurgly and uneven mix of water droplets and puffs of steams that produces bubbly milk rather than steamed milk with microfoam.
The portafilter also feels flimsy, in particular it rattles when you shake it.
Overall, for the price it does a good job making espresso, but I would look elsewhere if you care about making decent steamed milk.

I never really liked espressos before until I tried this for my husband. Then I instantly fell in love! This machine is so easy to use and makes the best espresso drinks! You can make either single or double drinks and then there is also a steam option. Coming from someone who doesn’t know much about espressos, I highly recommend! You won’t regret it!

I bought this as a Father’s Day gift for my husband, who loves making a good cup of coffee. For him, the machine works perfectly — it has the right pressure and lets him prepare his coffee exactly the way he likes it. It’s high quality, and I personally think it looks really nice too
