3700 Essential Espresso Machine 20 Bar, Stainless Steel Coffee Maker with Steam Milk Frother, Espresso Coffee Machine Cappuccino Latte Machine with 43.9oz Removable Water Tank, Creamy

I was somewhat skeptical that a machine at this price could be worthwhile but the favorable reviews posted by others convinced me to give it a try. For context, I’ve gone through any number of Nespresso machines that fail after a couple of years daily use and, before that, I’d had several other espresso machines that also failed. The pods are also quite expensive and bit of a pain to buy and dispose of. I’m also convinced they’re bad for the environment. So for the last couple of years I’ve been using a stovetop Moka pot and that has been largely absolutely fine. However, that makes coffee, which is not the same as espresso. So, enter the Casabrews 3700. I am very happy that I made the decision to try it. I now get a very good latte every morning with minimal effort. It warms up quickly and I get 2 cups of espresso very quickly. Be sure to pre-warm the machine before your “pulling” your first shot by just running water through an empty coffee basket into a cup so you have cup of warm water to throw out. Then you’re ready to fill the coffee basket and your espresso now will be at the correct temperature. Clean up is a breeze. The size is small enough to sit on my kitchen counter in a designated area that I use for making my espresso and tea as well as warming/frothing the milk for my morning lattes. I prefer to use the Aeroccino machine that came with one of my late Nespresso machines. The Casabrews comes with a steaming wand that works fine but I find the Aeroccino easier to use and clean. The only negative thing I have to say is not about the machine itself but about an accessory: the Casabrews comes with a combo plastic scoop and tamp, which I’ve replaced with a nicely weighted steel one. The machine is of decent quality and seems to be made from a combination of steel and plastic. I’ve only had it about 10 days now so I have no way of knowing how long it will last, but I think it’s definitely worth the money if you want to make real espresso at home.

This machine exceeded my expectations! The 20-bar pressure delivers excellent espresso, and the steam frother creates creamy, frothy milk for cappuccinos and lattes. It’s simple to set up and clean, and the stainless steel finish feels durable and attractive. Great value for the quality!

Very solid machine for the price. I used to work for a high end coffee company, and I'm used to seeing high end La Marzoccho's. The one's we had were north of 10 grand. This is not 5 stars the way one of those would be. It also costs less to buy than the minimum service call charge on one of those. But for a home user who isn't on the bleeding edge of coffee culture - it close enough. At this price point, it gives up a couple of features. You might have to wait a few seconds when switching between brewing and steaming, because it's a single boiler. If those seconds are sufficiently precious to you, there are companies that will return them to you in exchange for an extra $400. I've never had to wait more than 5 seconds. Oh, it also has a time limit on how long continuously the steamer will run. Then it needs a couple seconds to catch it's breath and it good for another cycle. Don't remember how long it runs, but it's good foe steaming 22 oz off 33F milk to the point where it's hot but not scalding. If you need to steam a larger quantity, you can either wait a couple of seconds and hit the button again, or start making preps for the next shot you're going to need anyway for that Big Gulp latte you're making. It pulls a good shot out of the box, and I have not had to mess with the timing, but adjustments are available and the manual is clear about how to make them. It also has a reset function if you screw it up and need to start over. The water container for it is large enough that I have yet to have to refill it during the day. And I usually don't bother to checking before pulling the first shot of the day. Construction is solid. I mean, I haven't disassembled it or anything. But everything fits precisely - doesn't make unseemly noises, and it would look good on any countertop. No one is going to look at it and get the impression it's cheap. In fact, it's good looking enough that I down play it when ever anyone sees it for the first time. Don't want them thinking I suddenly inherited money or something. I picked this machine after spending a lot of time comparing features, reading reviews, and reflecting on priorities. I could have spent a lot more - but I don't know what else I could have expected. I could have spent a little less, but this looked like my best bet, and I think I won. I have flogged this machine hard. My wife drinks a lot of coffee - for medical reasons actually. I hear people raving about the endurance of machines they operate "at least once a week." I run this one probably 10 times a day average - granted it's only been a couple of months - but it's been utterly flawless. This is kind of a disposable appliance. At a hundred bucks, no one is sending it in for service, no repairman is going to make a house call. But I've probably pull more shots through it than most people pull in a year, without any issues at all, so I am well satisfied with the value.

これで毎朝完璧！とのことです(プレゼント)。

An excellent little espresso maker! Brews great espresso and steamer works perfectly. Ran the rinse cycles as outlined in the instructions and found no issues with taste or smell. I had no previous experience with espresso machines and found this easy to set up and use. I love it's small size as I have limited counter space. The only thing I would change is that I wish the steam arm was slightly higher or that it raised a little further to get my cup under a bit easier.

Soy barista aficionado, he pasado por varias marcas y sin duda esta es de las mejores que he tenido. El espresso mejora muchísimo si compras un filtro sin fondo. Para emulsionar la leche va bastante bien, la presión es constante y la lanceta tiene el tamaño ideal, lo que recomiendo es que se purgue un poco más de lo habitual, esto para que se llegue al punto de presión necesario y se mantenga en éste mismo.

EDIT: I am upgrading my review to 5 starts due to amazing customer support I received. I was a bit unlucky to receive a machine that makes water smell horrible. I had to ran it with just water for 3-5 times (depending if it is after 9 hrs of hight or just 4 hrs of it being inactive). I tried running citric acid- it did help for a while. Anyways....I got a refund from the company. So my point is: every piece of product cannot be ideal when it leaves the conveyor line in the factory. And this is where customer support comes into play. Yes, I was unlucky to receive probably that one faulty piece, but customer support rectified my disappointment. I am still using the machine (after flushing it with citric acid and continuously flushing with just water) and it is producing amazing espresso! I have just made myself mind-blowing capuchino! I love the build quality of the machine and it does extract coffee to the fullest (silly me, tried to re-use coffee from the Porta filter in my Coffee maker thinking that that there is still so much flavor left and that the espresso machine just couldn't extract it so well...Well all I got was dark brown water with slight aroma of coffee 😅). So yes...the machine does do a great job on that! Oh, and I found my single shot filter scotched thoroughly to the Styrofoam packaging! So make sure you check the packaging well before complaining they had forgotten to put another filter (just like I did lol). Bellow is my original review: I have to run it with an empty filter three times before I can make my first cup of espresso. I put fresh water which doesn't smell (and water reservoir doesn't smell either). Apparently, there is a compartment inside the machine where water stays (and heats up for your espresso) and after staying there overnight it starts smelling like a process water or technical water. Another thing, just like many others noted here, my machine arrived with one filter missing. There is supposed to be two: single and double portion filter, but I received only one. The espresso however tastes well after running the machine three times empty. Well, what would you expect from an espresso machine of that price , right?

Magnifico y gran calidad del café que elabora
