if you’re looking for an affordable (compared to other high quality coffee makers), this is an all-in-one machine you’re looking for. The only thing worth considering when buying is that if you wanna make your coffee in the morning when others are sleeping, this is not for you. While the sound it makes is less than many other machines, it’s still pretty loud.

It’s very therapeutic to work for my coffee a little. Going up from a Keurig this is a huge jump but also a massive jump in quality. I haven't gotten into modifying the machine but learning about the process is pretty invigorating

This machine is now a kitchen staple--I use it EVERY day and love it. Cleaning is easy and the features are just what I need. The integrated grinder removes guesswork. I am including a photo of what it looks like with the drip tray pulled out so you can see how handy the storage compartment is and how the drip tray is nicely designed. The little "Empty Me" tab pops up if you need to dump the tray.

This is great for all coffee lovers. Ita an investment, but it has virtually eliminated my trips to buy coffee. I can make peetty much everything I was buying at home. I definitely recommend watching YouTube videos prior to using to get used to it, but the info cards were really helpful to start with. I would recommend this for any coffee lover.

I’ve owned many espresso machines in my lifetime, from fully manual to superautomatic; this is the first machine I’ve owned that truly makes a cafe-quality cappuccino. I followed all of the instructions for first-time use, including using the recommended first-time grind and dose settings (except I did set the grind to 4 instead of 5) and it came out perfect. I didn’t think to take a photo of the espresso shot, which had great crema and a nice dark color, but I did include a photo of the post-brew “hockey puck”, which is a sign of really good extraction. But what really surprised me was how good the steamer is. At first it sounded a little weak, but I ended up with the kind of microfoam that you typically struggle to get with most home machines. The end result exceeded my expectations. The 18-month interest-free Best Buy financing was just the icing on the cake. I highly recommend this machine…and I also highly recommend that if you do buy it you should read ALL the instructions even if you are experienced with other espresso machines.

This product has been making outstanding espresso coffee, latte, cappuccinos, etc. When you try it once no other coffee will taste the same. Product is easy to use but you will need to get some practice in order to make a prefect coffee cup.
-the system is all manual so you will need to steam milk, grind coffee and press the grinder coffee. Sounds a lot to do but which practice will only take 3min to have a perfect coffee
-when you use the coffee maker make sure to descale, and clean frequently to avoid the calcium buildup

This is our second coffee machine, the first one we bought is still working since 2020. We bought it during the pandemia as we could not live without good coffee!. It took some time to learn how to calibrate it properly (youtube videos help a lot) but once the settings rea good you get barista level coffee. This second machine had a promotional price so we couldn't pass the opportunity! Just a great product, highly recommended!
We use coffee from HEART coffee roasters from Portland Oregon, the Stereo Blend.

Great build quality, bad consistency without extra prep. Not the best choice for lazy people. To my lazy folks - look into a nespresso pod. This machine will make a great coffee if you invest additional $100+ in tools and learn proper preparation. Overall the nicest in it's price range.

We are Starbucks addicts...as in go every day of the year. This machine is fun and easy to use and makes delicious espresso. It is going to save us so much money. The grinder can make a bit of a mess and it took us way too many times to calibrate the grind and volume but once we figured it out, we were thrilled! We make 6 shots a day. The machine is easy to clean and use even for a novice.

I have been heavily into coffee for years now and have always wanted an espresso machine. Finally got this one a few months back, and I have been using it every single day. My best lattes taste even better than the local coffee shops nearby. The steam wand is quite difficult to be consistent with, especially when trying to do latte art. But after a few months have gone by, I can now make great latte art nearly every time. Great machine to get if you're wanting to explore espresso. Get the Pro model if you wish to have a better steam wand experience.

I was initially torn between this one and the Delonghi, but I ultimately chose this model because of outstanding reviews-and I’m very glad that I did it.
I have used it almost every day since I bought. It’s been a month:
The espresso extraction is consistently excellent, delivering rich and flavorful shots every time. The entire purchase experience was also seamless during the hectic BlackFriday rush. The staffs went above and beyond, providing kind and exceptional pick-up service.
Highly recommend this machine to anyone looking for a premium coffee experience at home.

Former Starbucks supervisor. Got really tired f the bautistas messing up my order and paying for drinks.
Simple solution was to buy this machine and very easy to use. Just ask my husband who works finance.
Best machine ever.
If the machines stops working for you, it’s because you didn’t clean it.

Excellent expresso machine with bean grinder and milk frother for lattes and expresso. I bought it on black friday sales after researching on chat gpt which one is good. Coffee pressure and heat work well to get the healthy antioxidant oils out of the expresso beans and crema is also present.
