    Love this machine! This is the second of this specific one that I have because I needed one for my office too. I have purchased several other super automatic espresso makers and for under $1200, this is an amazing machine

    We are obsessed with this automated espresso machine. It makes everything so easy (once you read through the instructions). Only con is that you can’t switch out the beans easily, so if you regularly switch between decaf and regular you may want to get one of the ones with a separate grinder. But I love that the espresso is done at the touch of one button. Then we steam our milk using the steamer wand. When you first turn it on, it will rinse out, so put a cup under both the main dispenser and the steamer wand. Small amount of liquid, but surprised us the first time. It’s so easy, and with a few syrup bottle purchases, it’s definitely saved us a ton of coffee house purchases!

    Very easy to use. Makes drinks with a press of a button. It might not be the best if a lot of people will be using it. You will have to fill up water and remove waste often. Great unit for 2 people.

    Makes excellent coffee - but after just a few cups you need to refill the water reservoir and empty the coffee grounds receptacle.

    Most Frustrating Machine Ever

    Espresso is good. Most frustrating machine ever. Beans don't go in the shoot without encouragement. It rinses every time so it is constantly out of water and you have to be conscious of which spicket it is coming out of. Now it is stuck on "descale" and it won't work at all

    No, I would not recommend this to a friend

      Hi there - thanks for reaching out about your stunning Café Espresso Machine. It’s great to learn that you’re enjoying the great espresso this machine makes, but our apologies to hear that you’re experiencing issues with the beans going into the shoot and the “descale” alert. We can certainly understand why you’d like some clarification on that, and we’d like to share some tips that will help! -- There are 2 main reasons why the beans may not be going down the shoot. First, if the beans are too oily, they will not slide freely into the grinder - make sure to avoid using oily beans if possible. Also, its possible that the internal coffee outlet could be blocked. In that case, be sure to clean the coffee grinder shoot. Instructions can be found on page 14 of your manual: https://files.bbystatic.com/IWW5IBxRg6UZIvbkYwfWkw%3D%3D/Owners%2BManual -- The manual also contains instructions on the simple Descaling Process on page 15. It is recommended to descale once a month or more depending on your water hardness. -- We hope this is informative and if you have any other questions or concerns, please feel free to reach out anytime. Happy brewing! Lauren@Café cafe_appliances

    Wonderful little espresso machine. My gf and I use this thing 4+ times per day and it’s been flawless. I do wish the water tank was larger, but that’s my only little gripe.

    This is so easy to setup and use it's ridiculous! I love that I don't have to pound the espresso grounds out of the little cup or go through all the manual steps of getting that espresso shot. I just hit "mycup" and I get 2 espresso shots I can throw some milk in or froth some milk. Also, my kids are now spoiled because I make them frothy milk.

    The machine makes your life easier and makes consistent espresso. However, the steam wand is not good. Its flimsy, plus mine started spouting more water than needed during steaming and the problem never fixed even after descaling. I just returned the machine and got a breville impress.

    Great coffee maker

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    Looks great especially the white. Super easy to use. Grinder is really strong. It makes good americano, very flavorful. Expected more from expresso, it’s very basic so don’t expect much. The steam and froth option is a big plus. The wifi and app is a good add-on but it’s limited options and it’s not IoT so don’t expect a smart coffee maker.
