    This coffee machine is the best purchase ever.! The color is unique, different than a classic black or grey. Very precise and very easy to use. High quality feel. Also cleaning it is easy. Definitely highly recommended for every household.

    Amazingly good for an entry level espresso maker. Bought 2 and only one worked but it worked good. Still using it.

    Good for an at home barista wanting to try to make espresso coffees. It is very simple and easy to operate, but could get better quality with a fancier machine!

    Outstanding coffee machine, makes single and double shots with ease. Very user friendly from making espresso to frothing milk. Would definitely recommend this machine to beginners and novice coffee drinkers. 5 out of 5 for me.

    The instructions to get the machine primed did not really work for me as they had them detailed. I had better luck priming the system via the steam function. Was able to get a full stream of water through there to get the machine primed. After that machine worked fine and the steam function worked just like it needed too.

    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!

    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!

    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.

    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.

    Crazy Amount of Crema, Love This Espresso Machine

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    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!

    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.

    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.

    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.
