Overpowering plastic odor coming from the reservoir. Washing didn't help. It never went away. Purchase price was refunded using warranty.

The water output is small, and then it has to be restarted every time. I have to wait for a while and then drink a cup. I have to restart it before it responds. I don’t like it.

Small, easy to use entry level espresso machine

When I received the Bella Pro Series Slim Espresso Machine I was skeptical. I am not an espresso wizard by any means, but I do own a Breville Barista Pro and didn’t want to compare it to that. I wanted to have a machine that I could make a quick, quality espresso without taking up to much space on my counter and this Bella Pro Series really delivers on that.
Let’s start with some of the positives to this espresso machine. The first is the size. It is a very slim, compact machine that can fit on any counter. I live in a one bedroom apartment and it hardly takes up any counter space, unlike some of the more expensive espresso machines. The second was the ease of use. It is so very easy to use. Just a few buttons, fill up the reservoir, tamp your grind, get a cup, and you’re sipping a really good espresso. If you prefer a drink with some added milk it also has a steamer, which is great. And the third is I was very pleasantly surprised by the quality of the espresso. I used a single origin African coffee (I prefer using different beans to test espresso and not just specific espresso roasts) and the flavor was very light, fruity, with very little bitterness. The machine has a few adjustments, but I was very surprised how good it was straight out of the box for a single shot. This machine is great for those wanting to get into espresso without breaking the bank or getting “nerdy” about brew times, strengths, ratios, temps, contact times and extractions. The machine is cheap and very easy to use.
There are a few things that I will say are “negatives” to the Bella Pro Series. The first is there is very little customizations to the espresso. This can be a negative if you want to really get into nitty gritty of espresso. The second is that it feels very plastic. For the price, this is exactly what I would expect, but it can be a negative for some people looking for more quality. The third is, for those that like to buy whole beans, you will need a grinder of some sort, or you will just have to buy pre-ground beans. But there is no build in burr grinder.
All and all, I am very pleased with the quality, ease of use, and price of this espresso machine. The Bella Pro Series Slim Espresso Machine really delivers on all of those attributes. If you are looking for a small, easy to use, entry level espresso machine than I would 100% give this a try.
