Customer Ratings & Reviews

Simple and easy to use and easy to clean cant get any better then that

Good product, bad delivery. Arrived on my porch in the box with nothing around it could easily have been stolen. Recommend putting in a more discrete box.

It’s look 4/5 and has a lot to offer via app. But I tried getting on to app and brew a cup and it never worked. The app crashes Everytime k select a coffee.

Out of the box - The machine is well built and expensive looking. Set up is very easy and intuitive, the buttons are easy to read as well as setting up the wifi feature. I have tried multiple espresso/coffee machines and this one is very impressive and consistent. The built in coffee grinder allows you to make a fresh espresso daily. The beans were finely ground contributing to the consistent cup. I am a big fan of cappuccinos and this is a perfect machine to have because of the built in steamer for the milk. Ease of use - very intuitive and the built in wifi feature is a major plus to allow you to make the perfect cup every time. The company definitely had the use in mind when it came to clean up. Very easy to clean you remove the parts, clean and you are done. The water reservoir is decent holds a little over a Liter and the bean hopper holds less than half a pound but it does have 5 grinder settings to allow you to fine tune your espresso grounds. The machine is quiet overall during grinding and brewing further contributing to a must buy for the at home espresso connoisseur. Overall, this machine is easy to use and clean, well built and quiet. I recommend purchasing and also as a gift for the holidays.

Hard to connect to WiFi and when I couldn’t change anything on the app!!! It continued to give .75 ounces of espresso!!! Couldn’t change it!! Do you know how much .75 ounces is?? About a thimble worth!!! This machine sucks!!! I returned it in less than 5 days!! Word to the wise stay far away from this espresso machine!!!

It’s not what I was expecting. Is a very cute machine. It looks really nice in the kitchen. He’s just like you don’t have that many options in terms of coffee 

Bought his for my wife in Dec and it has been nothing but frustrating. "Add water"; water is full. Add Water, Add water. We have troubleshooted everything and still Add Water... which by the way doesnt let you make coffee WHEN IT SAYS ADD WATER...

Café Affetto Espresso Machine is an amazing automatic espresso machine that adds beauty to your kitchen countertop. The stylish design with copper accents makes it a premium yet modern device and doesn't take up a lot of counter space. Setting up the machine itself is fairly easy and you can follow the included instructions. The espresso machine is WiFi enabled and you need SmartHQ app to connect and customize your drinks. The app becomes your best friend when using this appliance. You will get notifications in the app when it is time for descaling or if water is low in the reservoir or to update the machines to latest firmware. You can customize your favorite drink and set it up under 'My Cup' option. The app also allows you to brew three customized espressos continously, which you can't directly from the espresso maker. The machine does have touch sensitive buttons that you can use to make quick Espresso or Americano or dispense hot water. The built-in steam wand is convenient, very easy to use as well as to clean. The wand heats up quickly when you turn on the machine and heats up the milk. The frother can make variety of textures depending on the drink you are making. You also get hot water from the wand, if you are in the mood for some tea. The best part is that the wand cleans itself by rinsing and the dispensing spout can be adjustbale to accommodate different cup sizes. Overall, if you are looking for a quick, convenient, and easy espresso maker with added features and price is not a constraint, I would highly recommend this premium espresso machine.

Best purchase ever I use it every day wish I bought it sooner

Can’t adjust amount of coffee to be grinding, not satisfied

The Cafe-Affetto is much more than just an espresso machine. It's a kitchen appliance that adds a touch of class to your countertop. The stylish design of stainless, copper, and chrome finishes coordinate well with any kitchen decor. Its compact design takes up very little counter space. Easy to fill and simple to operate, the unit is also easy to disassemble and clean . The only negative in regards to the design would be the location of the water storage. Because of my overhead cabinets, I have to pull the unit forward and turn it to access the tank. The app was easy to load, but after several days I still cannot get the "my cup" feature to change from the default setting; I can change it, but it immediately resets. However, the app is not necessary to brew a great cup of espresso or coffee. Fill the bean storage, press the button, and a few seconds later you have the perfect cup of joe. The froth feature is also a fun addition over your average coffee pot. I'd recommend this one to anybody who likes to make a quick cup any time!

Don’t waste your money low quality all plastic Coffe is not hot

The Affetto Espresso is a compact, easy to setup and use machine that produces quality espresso. It has a small footprint that easy fits on my kitchen countertop. Setup is as easy as opening the box, removing tape, cleaning and filling the water bin, adding coffee beans, letting the machine self clean and pressing the appropriate drink button. Your choice of drink is then made in a matter of seconds. An app is available to customize the drink. The app is also used to monitor the machine condition. I have previously had other other espresso machines but they took up too much room or eventually just became a pain in the neck to use. Using the Affetto is a pleasure as it basically only involves the press of a button to make the desired drink. The Affetto is also easy to disassemble to clean and maintain. Other features built in wifi, a milk frother, and the ability to make hot water. I highly recommend the Affetto to anyone looking for a beautiful, compact espresso machine that is convenient to use and produces very good espresso drinks.

I almost completely love this machine. The design is compact and easy to use. The espresso tastes amazing. Easy to use. A start is knocked off because the words on the buttons begin to fade (I can barely read the "steam" button anymore.) And two, the descale light doesn't go off even after carefully descaling. ANYONE THAT CAN TELL ME HOW TO RESET THIS ALERT WILL REALLY MAKE MY DAY!

I absolutely love this machine. It’s not perfect, some bits could be better, but it makes a great tasting cup of coffee in about 2 minutes. The temperature is perfect too. Not too hot that I need to temper it, but just right where I can enjoy it immediately. This has changed my whole morning routine, because I can actually drink it before work instead of needing to wait for it to cool down, which usually doesn’t even happen until I’m at work. I get my caffeine fix a full hour earlier than usual and it even tastes better! It has a hidden compartment to load whole coffee beans and it freshly grinds them before every brew. Every brew! And it doesn’t even have filters to replace. The used coffee grinds drop into a hidden lower compartment that you simply pull out and dump. I also like that there’s a reminder to empty the bin, but it’s big enough to handle about 8 or so brews before needing to empty it. I feel like “practical” was a key design philosophy, because not only does it quickly brew an excellent espresso and americano, it also doesn’t take up too much space. At about the size of… two ps4’s standing side by side, it easily fits on the kitchen counter without taking up too much space. It has a lovely modern matte black finish with an adjustable copper spout. Unfortunately, while the hot water spout/frother works great, for some reason mine rests at a slight angle even when it’s in the straight down position. Not a big deal, but I expect better from a product in the luxury segment. You can use the Smart HQ app to connect to the machine and make small adjustments to the brew volumes, grind times, and program “my cup”, but it offers very few adjustments. I really like the “red eye” brew program, but it won’t let me adjust it at all. I also couldn’t get it to connect with Google Home for some reason. I hope the app gets an update and enables you to do more, but until then, you really don’t need to revisit it after programming your “my cup” recipe. Fortunately, using the machine itself is as simple as pressing a button and listening to it grind and burr away. A most excellent cup of coffee will be ready before you are. I highly, highly recommend the Cafe Affetto Espresso machine!

Makes good coffee and is fairy easy to use, the coffee/espresso/steamer could be hotter though we may need to play with settings.

Gone are the days of having to drive to your nearest fine coffee barista to get that sophisticated espresso freshly brewed. This Café - Affetto Espresso Machine with 20 bars of pressure with a milk frother is all you need! I was nervous upon setting this up as how beautiful and shiny the machine was, but the step by step instructions were simple enough I was up and running in no time! Also connecting to the app was even more simple just a simple visit to the app store and a few steps later was connected. The options are endless with this machine as it grind and makes a perfect roast every time. A few simple button presses is al it takes and you're away getting the freshest and hottest espresso you could want. The frother works really well all you have to do is select the thickness and texture you are wanting and boom it does it. Can I just say how easy the app was when I used it? I was really surprised at how quickly and seamlessly everything talked to each other and proceeded to make everything! It has built in drink customization's in the app which was awesome and felt like I was the barista! If you are looking to spruce up your morning routine or just looking to get someone that special gift, this is that machine you want. My wife loves it, I love it!

I cannot believe how sophisticated and elegant this device looks on my countertop! Out of the box the unit is very easy to setup and use with minimal instructions required. The unit is actually a bit heavy but feels very well made. As stated, the outside is stunning and will please any surface. Brewing an actual espresso with the Cafe -Affetto is equally seamless and easy. I have always enjoyed espressos whether it be from a local coffee shop or while eating out after dinner at a restaurant. But it wasn’t until I had my first espresso machine that I truly fell in love with this style of coffee. My other unit is a Kcup variant and delivers well but the Cafe - Affetto delivers so much more. First, the ability to steam my milk actually and accurately is the piece de resistance that I didn't even know I needed in my life. Then being able to go to my local store and specially select a certain style of bean to grind. Going further by playing with the size grind via the grind size selector and how it correlates to taste is just a wonderful treat. My favorite part really though is the LED light that illuminates the cup during a pour. GE's "Cafe" brand & offered products is super neat and this device is a unique addition that makes a great espresso.

So I didn't realize how much I didn't really know about espresso, but the Café - Affetto Espresso Machine has made it easy and fun. Using the app, I am able to dial in presets, or my own customizations. The app will also let you know when the Affetto needs attention, such as needing water or more beans. What I like most is the size. What has kept me away from some other espresso machines is the size. This fits easily under any cabinets. It's easy and small, but comes at quite a cost. If you're paying for espressos on a regular basis, this is a steal. If you need something very small, the Affetto Espresso Machine is perfect.

I sure wasn't expecting this much from an espresso maker! With a built in bean grinder, milk frother, hot water dispenser, built in wi-fi, and selector for Espresso, Americano, My Cup and and steam, this machine is a beauty both outside and inside! The copper accent makes it look stunning. The machine provides 20 bars of pressure to produce an excellent espresso with ease. Easy to set up and use, I love my new Cafe Affetto Expresso machine!
