Customer Ratings & Reviews

Very easy to use and clean! Wonderful product for such an amazing price. Small & easy to store!

Bought this as a gift to my sister who was spending money at coffee shops every day sometimes 3-4 times a day & she absolutely loves it! She enjoys the coffee so much that she’s no longer spending money at coffee shops! It’s easy to use, it’s cute, it’s compact and the coffee tastes amazing! Definitely recommend!

The Bella Slim Espresso Maker falls short in every important espresso machine category. I may have a defective unit, however it appeared to be new in the box although there was a little water dripping from the device. Sometimes factory testing will leave some water that seeps out; and it appeared to be brand new. The functions did not work properly and the buttons seemed to light up in different configurations constantly which made using the device frustrating. The controls are designed for simplicity, but they 'simply' did not work all the time as specified in the instructions. I did prep the machine as the instructions indicated by pumping the entire first one liter through the machine (which was a tedious exercise). The on/off switch did work and at times it seemed necessary to turn the machine off and then on to get it to work at all. The device looks nice, but overall I felt this machine needs a new design. The resulting espresso was not properly made. When I pushed a particular button such as the single shot, only a few drops came out. Same problem with the double shot. Also at times I pushed a double or single shot button and nothing even happened. Sometimes nothing happened for a few seconds and then a few drops would come out. Now you do need to wait till the machine is up to temperature which is detected when all 3 control buttons are illuminated. I sometimes had to turn the machine off and then on or all the buttons would never illuminate at the same time. I also tried to re-program the volume of each shot. The directions indicate for a single shot to press once to initiate a single shot extraction; as mentioned before this resulted in a few drops. I then held the button for 3 seconds to “adjust and dial in the future single shot volume” – this did not work for either the single shot or double shot button. I still got only a few drops. I tried the Function Control Dial which is used to activate the Steam wand. I always waited for the pressure to build up and then turned the knob. Sometimes it worked but half the time it did nothing. When it did work, it spit out a lot of water and steam instead of just mostly steam. Although the Bella information described a “commercial style wand” for this unit, this is not true. It does swivel nicely but does not have the power required to do a good job to froth the milk and did not have the dimension or structural strength of a commercial wand.. This product appears well made, but it does not work without multiple attempts. Since you are always waiting for the device to get the right lights not blinking, it seems to have a faulty design. I would suggest paying more for a better quality and more functional machine. I cannot recommend this espresso maker.

Great machine! It is so easy to use and clean!!!!!

Its a great intro to brewing expresso and heats up instantly!

Loved this espresso machine and used it around 20 times until suddenly the water pump no longer was dispersing water. This machine no longer works and only had it for 2 months, very disappointed to say the least.
