Customer Ratings & Reviews

Great machine for the beginner Barista such as myself. allows opportunity to explore creating and pouring your own shots. Comes from one of the top manufacturers of espresso/coffee machines

Great cappuccino machine at a fair price I would recommend

Purchased this espresso make a few weeks ago on Black Friday. Very pleased with the easy use and quality results

This was an early Christmas present for my roommate but I've used it a few times myself. Between me and him, it makes a really good espresso but the steam wand doesn't seem to get the milk as hot as I'm sure it needs to be. It's possible its just the one I picked up and if I replaced it, it'd be fine. However in the off chance this is the same issue across all the same models, I'd be advised about the heat of the steam function. Oh and be sure to get your own tamper. The included one is plastic and doesn't quite get to the right level of tamped, if that makes sense. I was lucky enough to catch this on a black Friday sale, so by all means, if you catch this on sale and want your own espresso machine, I do recommend this one.

Great for starting off making espresso. I use it everyday. Buy a better tamper and a screen it will change the whole machine. 52mm is the size I think.

As far as espresso machines go that make "real" espresso this one is right on the edge. Anything cheaper and you may as well use a stovetop moka pot. But if you know what you're doing you can get tasty, authentic shots from this. It has a pressurized basket and portafilter, which means you can even use pre-ground grocery store coffee and get a reasonable result. It is also possible to buy a separate compatible bottomless portafilter and unpressurized basket and this machine is capable of pulling authentic shots that way. The steamer is good. The whole thing gets up to temperature quickly. My only real complaint is the machine is so light, even full of water, that it's hard to lock in the portafilter without really holding the whole machine tightly with your other hand.

I wanted to make lattes and capachinos at home without complication. I was tired of spending 5$ a cup ...so this machine is a dream . You can opt for any espresso coffee grounds you like or easy espresso pods....your not forced to purchase only pods or cups like the other espresso machines. You also have an option of a single shot or double shot. Also there's milk frother attached to it. I love it !!! It's comes out so hot !

Makes pretty good espresso. Easy to use and frothing works well

This is PERFECT if you’re in the early phases of learning how to make your own espressos. I was quite impressed myself! The machine is easy to use and easy to clean. This definitely saved me so much money instead of buying coffee from cafes.

I use this every morning! I don’t have a lot of space on my counter so the compact size was great! There’s not much room for customizing and getting fancy with your coffee, but if you just want to have a decent latte or espresso shot in the morning I say this is a good product to get.

This has lasted way longer than I expected. I just do espresso, nothing special and it has been great since I bought it 6 months ago!

Easy to use and makes a good shot of espresso. Great value

It started off good! Its been almost 2-3 years since I purchased and now it leaks. Vid & pics attached.

Very easy to use and makes perfect Espresso. Highly recommended

I love the espresso machine. Saves money got it since February and use it everyday. Love making my coffee... learning as i make diffferent ones every now and than

Great espresso machine to start learning the process and the combinations that can be made. Simple and fast. The only thing to consider is that you need to buy a new tamper, I mean, the one given works, but it isn't that comfortable.

Overall great manufacture quality with 15 bars to create fantastic espresso. The in the Box portafilter certainly a great start I chose to upgrade my portafilter and basket to create more pressure for my own personal styling but still for the price a great classic espresso machine all the way around.

Good lower cost espresso machine. Not to complicated

This machines makes a pretty good espresso/latte. I read reviews before deciding to buy it. It does have the same issues as other reviews but It doesn't bother us and makes good coffee so we just deal with them. It does leak water out on to the counter. The coffee holder is HARD to get it attached to the machine. It takes lots of strentgh and effort. But the steamer works great and the coffee is hot!

This is a great espresso machine. Easy to use and elegant. There is a kind of joy of taking each step in preparing our own drinks. From grinding the coffee to filling the pod and leveling it. Measuring the perfect amount for a delicious cappuccino or latte.
