I would recommend this to a friend Not worth the extra expense for looks
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I'm glad I waited to review this. Upon set up with my first use the decorative end of the handle broke off with normal hand strength and use. They wanted me to box it back up and return it. (Instead of just sending a replacement part. Now with a couple months of use I find it wastes coffee fairly regularly saying it is over pressure when I am sure I have done nothing different from the last cup when I am making one for myself and one for my partner. Since I paid more for this because of it's looks I'd say don't waste the extra money on looks and just buy the one in your price range.

Posted .Hi, thank you for leaving a review. We appreciate your comments on this Semi Automatic Espresso Machine. If you're getting a Overpressure error, this means the coffee grounds are too small, there are too many grounds, or the grounds are packed too tight in the portafilter. To fix, dispose of grounds, and try again by increasing the ground size, decreasing the dosage, or tamping the grounds with less pressure. More information can be found in the use and care manual. Here's a link: (Page 12)

Great for beginners
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.At first i wanted to return this thing. I was using the double wall portafilter to try and dial in my espresso. Ended up trying the single wall portafilter and now i get a perfect cup every time.

Its ok
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Its an ok semi automatic. But it has temperature issues, the water for the espresso is only about 150° when it should be closer to 195° leading to weak shots and rapidly cooling drinks. It claims you can adjust the water tmep in the app but no such feature exists.

Hopper broke right away
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great coffee... at first. Then the hopper clogged right away. I was able to clean it, but the second time I tried to take the hopper off (less than 3 weeks of owning it) the hopper broke at the connection mechanism. Now I don't have a working machine. The connection is plastic and weak plastic at that. I didn't even try very hard to remove it. Maybe the beans were just too tough for the plastic? Ridiculous!

Posted .Hey there - we’re glad you reached out! Our apologies that you’ve had some issues with your hopper, and we can certainly understand why you’d like some clarification on that.

We hope this is helpful and don’t hesitate to reach out if there are any additional ways we can assist you moving forward. Take care. Lauren@Café
- Cons mentioned:Grinder, Water leak
Looks nice but isnt.
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Very poor quality for the price. Grinder jammed every 3rd grind. Then it started leaking water all over the counter.

Posted .Hey there - thanks for reaching out about your beautiful Café Bellissimo Espresso Machine & Frother. Our apologies that you’re experiencing issues with the grinder jamming and water leaking. We can certainly understand how frustrating that would be and would like to share some information that will help! -- A clogged grinder could be caused by setting the grind size too fine. The grind setting should be between 7 and 9 and use non-oily medium roast beans for the best espresso. If the grinder is not working properly and the light flashes purple, this means the grinder is getting clogged/jammed and/or the rotor is locked. You will need to clear out the grinds completely and then clean the grinder following the instructions in the manual on page 14: https://files.bbystatic.com/mynykv8Ga%2BH4Xr6Y0IHFSw%3D%3D/Owners%2BManual -- If water is coming out of the bottom of the machine and not going into the drip tray, this is not normal. Steam/water is released after the brew into the far back of the drip tray and it is not normal for water to miss the tray. Make sure the tray is installed properly. If you continue experiencing these issues, service may be needed. You can schedule online by visiting the Café Appliances website or by calling 1-800-432-2737. We hope this is insightful and if there are any other questions or concerns we can assist with, please fee free to reach out anytime. Warm regards. Lauren@Café

Also it has beautiful and elegant design to it. The only downside is the grinder seems to be kind of small.

Took it back
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I used it about 5 times, the grinder stopped grinding. I cleaned it (it’s a pain to clean) and it still would not grind properly. A little after, it stopped making expresó, very little would come out. Took it back to Best Buy, nice looking but piece of junk.

Cute
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I love how fast it is. But one thing i dont like that my coffee is not hot enough. Is more like warm
I would recommend this to a friendEspresso tastes smooth but machine runs slopply.
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Coffee grinder lands more espresso outside than inside your portafilter. Even after calibrating. The steam wand heats milk fine but adds no texture or air to your milk. Ive been a barista for 4 years and maybe this model is faulty. Definetly issues to be aware of if you decide to buy this unit. Ended up exchanging for different machine.
