It worked really well then out of no where it started giving me all these bitter tasting shots of espresso. I clean it after every use and have tried different coffees but still comes out the same. I was really happy, then very, very sad.

Very complicated for espresso coffee. Can make much easier with different machines. Pour over or Aeropress makes just as good and much less expensive.

Thought this would be a great little machine like the Bella I had years before it. It felt way cheaper and less sturdy and my espresso was not very hot at all. I immediately returned it.

Great Coffee all the time

I have enjoyed using the Bella Pro Series - Slim Espresso Machine for over a week now, and it has significantly elevated my coffee game. As a discerning espresso aficionado, I can confidently say that this machine is an amalgamation of high-grade engineering and thoughtful design.
Sleek and Space-Saving Design
From the moment I unboxed it, I was struck by its sleek and space-saving design. Living in an urban setting, countertop space is a premium commodity. This machine, with its slim profile, takes up minimal space while delivering maximum performance. It includes a heated top plate to ensure my cups are warm and ready for the perfectly brewed espresso shot.
Powerful Brewing and Perfect Pressure
The technical features are where the Bella Pro Series truly shines. It operates with a powerful 1300-watt brewing system and a 20-bar pressure pump that extracts the perfect shot every time. The dual spout is a clever addition, allowing me to brew two cups simultaneously, perfect for those mornings when one is not enough.
The Marvel of the Steam Wand
Let's discuss the steam wand now. It is smoothly incorporated into the design and has a 360° swivel feature that enables me to produce the ideal microfoam for my lattes and cappuccinos. This commercial-style wand not only gives the milk a barista-level texture but also serves as a hot water dispenser for other hot drinks.
Easy Maintenance and Cleaning
The large 1L removable water tank and the removable drip tray make cleaning and maintenance a breeze. The drip tray even has a "full indicator" to tell me when to clean, sparing me the guesswork.
Accessories Galore
Plus, the machine comes with a range of useful accessories, including a 2-in-1 tamper and measuring scoop, as well as both single and double-cup stainless steel filters.
Superior Heating Technology
The thermocoil system, equipped with superior heating technology, ensures that every shot is consistently hot. The 52 mm aluminum diecast portafilter adds more precision to my espresso brewing.
Conclusion
In summary, the Bella Pro Series - Slim Espresso Machine is a robust, efficient, and smartly designed appliance that has exceeded my expectations. It brings the coffee shop right into my kitchen.

Availability to start the coffee in 25 minutes... makes you a cup and then you have to wait 15 more minutes to make the milk... The good thing is that no visitors came and craved a coffee …

Bought as a gift for daughter. As I understand it, she can’t hardly use it- the milk part, and really the main/water part, has a distinct smell/taste that will not go away. She run a ton of water through it, washed it, still stinks/taste bad.
