It’s beautiful, works beautifully except it stopped grinding. We cleaned it out and was still not working. Thankfully I was able to return it in time.

Started great! After 3 months the words on the power and grind button are rubbed off, and the grinds no longer fall centered into the filter. No support has explanation. The lid on the water tank also is very loud when brewing, from the shaking. But it gives me coffee, so it at least gets some stars

I was skeptical of this item because of some of the reviews, but I've had this espresso machine now for two weeks, have used it daily, and am really happy with it. A great alternative to a higher-end espresso machine,

The espresso maker works well and looks good overall. The app, which was the main draw for me, does not allow the user to turn the machine on remotely. It only allows for the user to edit certain settings which seems like it should be included on the machine itself, rather than have it on a separate app. Will be returning and get the breville instead since the exterior is fully plastic and there’s simply more reviews and tutorials online for the breville.

We appreciate your comments on both the espresso machine and the SmartHQ app. If you need assistance or have questions about using them you can always reach out to our Connected Home Support Line at 1-800-220-6899, or email [email protected].

Great espresso machine at a grear price. It took a few tries before i made a good coffee. I love the smell of freshly grinded coffee. I find myself drinking coffee more now. If you dont own one you are missing out.

It takes some time getting use to the machine but it makes excellent espresso And fast. Grinder is ok. Love that everything you need is included. I have not experienced any problems from the machine itself just lots of getting use to in the process of making the espressso.
Thanks for the review! It's a pleasure having you in the Cafe family and we're glad you like the espresso maker. Please reach out to us on social media with any questions or concerns. We're always happy to help. -Sylvia@Cafe

This machine works amazingly my only complaint is the labeling on the buttons came off after a few use but otherwise it is a excellent product

Purchased ON SALE as replacement for same model that fell apart 1 month after warranty expired. Last unit leaked everywhere, really noisy, parts falling off, uneven batching, uneven steaming, final straw was grinder clogged every time. Looked for fix on internet, Cafe aware of problem does not give any fix other than send back. No reason for wifi connection, would be better off to fix unit so it works. Would only buy on sale, due to quality.

Top quality espresso machine. I love the balance of a semi - automatic brewing but at the same time having the ability to dial in a shot to perfection. The grinder and all accessories are solid.
