    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.

    Crazy Amount of Crema, Love This Espresso Machine

    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!

    its cute and aesthetic, but i think the weight is too light. the connection and turn on the handle is really tight and i have to hold down the machine just to put it in. its good enough for a cheaper machine and it does the job. and it has a steamer that works well.

    excellent, works as described. Just wish It had a bigger setting then just a double. But for the price , and craftsmanship cannot beat. I bought it for it's digital features to old-proof the house. The simplicity and automation is one of the best I've had

    This machine definitely has a learning curve. You have to run water through the “steam wand” a few times before your first cup of espresso. After that it works great every time. Had it for a month now and use it every day.

    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!

    Pick this up to use at work. Works great. My boss has Jura, one botton machine nice, however it can only grind one type bean at a time in the hopper. So you’re stuck drinking what the boss is drinking. With Bella Pro you use whatever beans you like.

    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.

    Good for espresso, steaming not so much

    Good for espresso, I use it for iced lattes. Would not use for hot drinks since the steaming wand is very small. Lightweight and “cheap” but good for a college dorm or someone not wanting to spend $$$. I got on sale for like $50-60, would not pay full price.
