Machine was defective . I wasn’t able to brew coffee cup from machine

The coffee machine no make a stronger flavor and difficult to close

Terrible purchase is so hard to make a simple coffe

Espresso is just better in my opinion than brewed, I much prefer an American than a regular cup of joe. Also, having the ability to steam milk for lattes for my wife or just steamed hot cocoa for the kids. Also, steaming a cup of Oregon Chai tea takes that drink to a whole new level. While espresso is just better, there are is a large range of prices when it comes to espresso makers, this is definitely going for the value play along with those looking for a small package. The filter basket is pressurized so my inexperience doesn’t show in the taste of the coffee, now if you are trying to learn the art of being a professional barista this may not be a good thing for you, but it is for me. At first, it was weak, like really weak (especially when making a latte, not on the americano), so I measured the shot and double shot, both were set to double the amount of water as what a typical shot is. Following the direction in the book I adjusted the water levels and tried again, it took a couple tries but I got just the right amount to come through the beans (some of the water remains setting the level with just the water shorted me quite a bit the first time). The other thing I noticed is that when I place two cups underneath, it never fills them exactly the same height. If this is important to you, this might be a problem, for me this doesn’t matter in the slightest. At the end of the day I am now getting the perfect water to bean ratio that I need for my wife and I. Steaming the milk is interesting, When the steamer says it is ready it spits a stream of water out for a about 1 second and then turns into steam. I just put a rag there and It is ready to clean up the steam afterwords. Another issue with the steamer is that it doesn’t go long enough. Just milk is good most of the time, unless you are trying to do a larger size drink. When ends up happening is it runs out of water that it was turning to steam. If I am at 130 degrees on my liquid when the beep goes off I can usually make it to 140, otherwise I turn the steamer knob off and hit the steam button again, wait for it to be ready (not too long) and then finish steaming the liquid (milk, chai tea, eggnog, etc). Slightly annoying but also not too unforeseen for a device this size and price. Overall, this is a tiny capable machine, while you give up a few convenience (you will need a short mug or shot glasses and the milk steamer can needs to be shorter as well or the espresso maker at the edge of a counter) I very much prefer the taste of this over a regular coffee maker for anyone with a smaller kitchen this is much better than other espresso makers that are quite large.

This was my first time ever using an espresso machine, and I’ll be honest, it took me awhile to figure out at first. The directions to pre-clean/prime were confusing and not really matching with what the machine was doing. Now that I’ve got the hang of it, the brewing process is very easy. I’m actually looking forward to making coffee instead of going out to buy it. I even used coarser coffee grounds (because it’s all I had) and it turned out great. The portafilter is pretty tight to lock. There’s a couple cool features like the warming feature and the ability to change the volume of the shots. The steam wand shoots out quite a bit of water (I think to be able to make an Americano) so you have to purge it before steaming your milk, but the big drip tray makes that easier/less mess. I do wish the wand adjusted more, rather than just swiveling in/out. Overall, I’m happy with it and excited to experiment with some different espresso drinks!

The steam wand does not work at the same time as the brewer, so making coffee takes a little longer. The espresso is pretty good quality across multiple grind settings, even though you cannot dial the machine in. It's perfect for a low cost machine.

It’s small very good.. the espresso is really good and nice.. very easy to use.. worth buying it..

I absolutely love this espresso machine. The price was amazing for the level of quality I received.

Never thought I would have the need for an in home espresso maker. I was wrong. The price of coffee shop coffee is outrageous and I can now enjoy quality espresso and mochas at home. I was impressed with my first cup from the coffee maker. Easy to follow directions plus clean up is very quick.

I like this. Extremely simple but it does everything it’s supposed to. I read the reviews where people said it leaked and honestly I was worried it leaked near the electrical. It leaks mildly out of the area the espresso comes out but there is a drain catch underneath so I’ve never been concerned.

I love it! It was a great purchase and very easy to use

Works okay, good enough for the price. My coffee coming out kind of tastes weird, but there’s no way to clean it without it falling apart. Instructions are extremely unclear and hard to understand.

The set up was kind of tricky because you need to run it a couple times before it actually works to get the air out of the valves. Once we figured it out we’ve had no issues at all! Love it and is great for the prize

Works well and is easy to use as a beginner. Would recommend

With this machine you can skip the morning coffee run! You can make espressos, double espressos, cappuccinos and lattes! So save your money and look up recipes and become your own barista. I have even used it to make espresso martinis. I have fallen in love with this machine.

I was about to spend $2,900 for an automatic espresso machine when I saw a daily deal for a Bella expresso machine for $66.00! This is obviously not a fully automatic expresso machine but it does everything I want.

Great little machine, my granddaughter loved it. Made excellent coffee drinks.

Works very well for us. We dont use it everyday because of our Nespresso machine. Pours a great shot or two. Value for cost is perfect!

If you're just getting into home espresso making, this is a great product to start off with. Easy to operate, works great.

I love it Its so easy to use and works great Love the color too
