Customer Ratings & Reviews

So I originally bought the Brim but had to return it because it wouldn’t make more than 2 espresso drinks at once. So I carefully considered this purchase because it was a bit more money than I wanted to spend. However, I’m glad I did, keep in Mind I’ve only had it two days so far but I’m in love! Grinder is heavy duty and well built, the machine works like a dream, wasn’t much of a learning curve at all and I’ve never owned an espresso machine before. Just read directions, watch a video, and my coffee came out perfect on the first shot. We wanted a bit more volumne of coffee so we programmed the single and double shot to dispense just a bit more. This machine is great, I’m so glad I made the purchase.

Easy to operate. You may want the touch screen version of this but this is more affordable.

Delivery was quick, great service. Highly recommend this espresso machine! Coffee is amazing! Never buying coffee again

This is a great purchase for daily coffee drinkers.

Having owned an "el cheapo" espresso machine before this was a giant leap because it's certainly a lot more expensive and a hard decision to make. For good espresso you need both a good coffee grinder and a good espresso machine that can handle the bar pressure needed to get that crema out of the coffee. This machine does both and I feel that I did a good decision in trying it. If you are an experienced espresso coffee maker, this should be easy, but a semi-newbie like me, it took some time to get it right where I like it. Don't expect to make your perfect espresso at the first try!! You will need to play with the machine's adjustments to make your coffee as it should be. I do hate the fact that to get the proper amount of grind, it will build a mountain and overflow. Apparently that's normal, but you can also do it two steps if you want and DON'T skimp on the amount of coffee you must put in there or you won't get the results you need. Love the fact that it comes with a tamper already. The steamer works great and easy to clean if you do it right away!!. Watch videos, over and over, to learn the what to do and not do. I use the Starbucks Espresso (white bad) coffee bean and the Italian Roast (brown bag) which are both my favorite. Expect small amount of coffee, not a cup full. it is an espresso and very concentrated. I would recommend this machine for the step up or anyone who loves Americanos, lattes, straight espresso, etc... It simplifies the need for an additional grinder where you should spend at least $200-$300 anyway. So if you've been waiting to make that decision, do it. I don't regret it so far since I now have it for a month. Noise level is reasonable as you would expect from a coffee grinder. Ok... time for coffee now that I've talked about it

I’ve been extremely satisfied with this machine, only had it a month, but it’s made a lot of espresso thus far. The learning curve is fairly simple. It’ll pay for itself in no time, finally happy with espresso at home!

Machine is very user friendly, but I am shooting myself in the foot for not purchasing the dual boiler machine instead. The steam wand is very good, but tend to be a bit slow. The espresso quality is fantastic if you use fresh beans. The water reservoir is a bit small. The machine is very compact, relatively quiet and stays very cool compared to competitors.

I had diferente espresso machines brands before and after some time using it the machine just gave out. I am very happy with this one and it’s been working great and I brew twice a day, had friends over one day and they loved the taste of the coffee that this machine can brew. I am not gonna lie but there’s some tricks to brew the “perfect” coffee, a couple of adjustments here and there but it’s well worth it. I am still learning how to froth the milk so I can start doing some latte art ;).

Absolutely amazing and really easy to use. I would recommend this for anyone looking.

After years of wasted coffee, I finally decided to get my husband this machine for his birthday. Man we love it. Super simple to use once you get your find amount down and how fine it needs to be you are food to go and make your own espresso in the morning. We will never go back to traditional coffee pots. This is so much better I’m saving money on not buying creamer or throwing out cold not drank coffee I’m the morning. It taste amazing and I’m so happy with this purchase. I’m not barista I watched a lot of YouTube videos to help me out in milk frothing and using the machine, still have a lot to learn. But overall I’m way satisfied with this purchase.

Great coffee. Great intro to home barista. Cleaning is a little cumbersome.

Love this item. I use it just about every day. Makes great expressos

Superb espresso maker - the second one I've bought (this was a gift). Highly recommended

Purchased on sale, does everything I'd want a machine to do at home.

Used to be a Starbucks snob up to 2-3 times a day, then the pandemic set in. At first we couldn’t go get coffee, so decided to give the machine a try..... We’ll worth it! Perfect solution since we’re working from home indefinitely & don’t really want to go out & about. Read instructions carefully. But some cheap beans to test the grinder out. We ended up settling it to the highest level. Don’t press too hard when stomping espresso, just push down with your finger; you’ll end up with a perfect shot. We also found that using the dual wall double shot filter pours the best shots.

It is a bit expensive, not something you'd dive into without thinking about it for a bit, but we're very glad we did: it works flawlessly, it's simple to use once you get the hang of what's what, and it just chugs along without issues. The coffee is delicious, being able to grind it right there is incredibly convenient, and it just works great. I'd definitely recommend it to anyone tired of having to go to the coffee shop for your fix. It pays for itself in no time.

Good product, however requires too much maintenance and time. Hard to clean. Need special coffee beans. Cant get expresso pressure to be within range.

The product quality is good and pick up on time. No concern about the good.

I LOVE this machine. I’ve had it since late 2020 and it runs as great as day 1. Took some experimentation to get the settings right and you have to adjust the grind based on the beans but other than that I feel like a pro and have been making delicious espressos, lattes, americanos, and shaken espressos which has almost entirely replaced my afternoon adventures to the “astral male deers” at least twice a week. Been very easy to clean and replace the filter

Great product! I love being able to have a gourmet coffee without leaving the house:)
