    Bought this because was slightly less than other expresso machines with built-in grinders. It performs well. Only complaint is that the grounds occasionally stick in the chute. I've taken to tapping the chute before removing the handle. It's a small thing, but for this price, I feel like it should operate flawlessly.

    I do absolutely love this machine. The only issue that I have with it is that the lettering on the buttons has already rubbed off. So if you’re not sure what the buttons mean, you won’t be able to tell. We used at Daly and love it.

    Coffee is great. But grinder clogs up. I have to use my shop vac to clean it, then use the pipe brush to clear it out. Not good.

      Hello - Thanks for bringing this to our attention. Your semi-automatic espresso machine grinds coffee beans before it brews your coffee, so it's important to take steps to keep the grinder from getting clogged. We recommend cleaning the grinder at least once a week, but many users find brushing out the grinder every time helps it work better. Also, the grind size is adjustable. A finer grind means there is more exposed surface area of the grounds, resulting in faster extraction. If you're finding that the grinder is getting clogged often, even if you clean it regularly, try adjusting the grind to a more coarse setting. We recommend starting with a setting between 7 and 9. Please reach out to us if you need additional assistance. Take care. -Don@Café cafe_appliances

    I have really enjoyed this espresso machine. It makes the smoothest shots. Which has become a problem. Starbuck and dutch bros taste watery and lack in flavor compared to the Café’s coffee. 10/10

    Haven’t been back to a coffee shop since we purchased our machine. Its beyond easy to use and has all of the features I was looking for. The only other thing I would have liked would be a seperate hopper for decaf beans with the ability to switch them from time to time.

    Horrible machine. Broke down twice. First time the grinder kept clogging and it leaked water all over the counter. Second time Grinder stopped working completely. Wifi was worthless. Whomever designed that part should be fired. There are plenty of other better machines than this one. Youve been warned.

    Really great upgrade from a smaller espresso machine. The big thing my wife and I like is the coffee grinder included in it. However, we’ve had it for just under a year and now it’s leaking water.

    I was so happy with this coffee machine but the Grinder stopped working only after two months. After few days from my return policy expired. The good thing i have the protection plan and i was able to replace it but i had to purchase a new protection plan (another $59 ) for the new one.
