Ultra Espresso Machine with LCD Display, 20 Bar Espresso Maker with Powerful Milk Frother, Customizable Brewing Temperature, Barista-Level Latte and Cappuccino Machine for Home, Silver

This is well worth the money for home expresso! I love this machine! Easy to operate, steamer works great, and this machine makes great quality expresso! I've tried other machines that were a little cheaper but they don't work right, or they don't make real expresso!

FANTASTIC Semi Automatic Espresso Machine! Been using this ultra for two months and enjoy it so much. I use to purchase really good lattes from local cafe’s every morning and now I make lattes that are very close to as good as the cafes. Lavazza crema Espresso Beans works well with this ultra machine. The standard portafilter that comes with this ultra machine with a puck screen added does pull a nice crema espresso using the Lavazza crema Espresso; however, a bottomless portafilter with a puck screen is a MUST to get the most espresso crema that is as almost as good as a coffee cafe. Beautiful & smooth crema the bottomless portafilter makes! I like that this machine has temperature settings & my espresso is very hot! The steamer is powerful and has temperature settings. I like a very hot latte! Water reservoir holds a week’s worth of water for me. A big tank. Awesome that espresso shots can be made back to back. No waiting time needed due to this machine quickly automatically self depressurizes after each shot. Can easily adjust the time of a shot pull with each shot and change the setting to pull a shot the same every time. MACHINE CLEAN UP IS SUPER QUICK, 2-3 minutes! The cup warmer on top really works perfectly. The Hot water feature is perfect too with temperature settings. I can’t say enough of good things about this semi automatic machine. It’s incredibly easy to operate. A good latte with this machine is all in obtaining good FRESH medium-dark espresso beans, the right grind setting, the right amount of grounds, the right tamper pressure, a barista milk and the length of the shot pull. The machine itself makes incredible espresso if everything else is done right. Took me a week to learn my preferred settings to save on the espresso ultra machine & the coffee bean grinder. Then , delicious lattes every morning with just what came with the machine using the Lavazza Crema whole beans.

I received my CASABREWS Ultra Espresso Machine today thanks to Amazon’s next-day delivery, and after pulling my first double shot I felt compelled to write a review. I have been chasing the “perfect cup of coffee” at home for years. I have tried different drip machines, grinders, beans, and brewing methods. I have made many good cups of coffee, but nothing that truly made me stop and say wow. Today that finally happened. For my first test I used Café Bustelo espresso-style grind, which is a staple in many Latino homes across the United States. As Caribbean Latinos, strong coffee is part of our culture. From Cuban cortaditos to Dominican and Puerto Rican dark roasts, we like our coffee bold and full of flavor. There is even a saying in our folklore that a good cup of coffee is so strong it could revive a zombie. After my first shot with this machine, I can say the legend might actually be true. The first double espresso shot I pulled had everything I’ve been trying to achieve at home: rich aroma, a beautiful crema, and a bold but balanced flavor that reminded me of what you get in a good café. What impressed me most: • The 58 mm all-metal portafilter system feels solid and professional. • The machine heats up quickly and was ready to brew within minutes. • The extraction looked fantastic, with a steady flow and thick crema. • The controls are simple enough for beginners but still feel capable. I know this is considered a beginner-level machine, but if this is what a beginner machine can produce, I’m excited to continue learning and refining my technique. For anyone starting their espresso journey at home, this machine is a fantastic place to begin. It already produced the best coffee I’ve personally made in my kitchen, and it has me looking forward to improving my skills and eventually exploring more advanced equipment in the future. For now, I’m genuinely impressed. My espresso adventure has officially begun, and the first cup was a great one.

4.5 stars. Had this for about three weeks. Easy to use. Fast start up and fast switching between steam and espresso mode. This was crucial for me, as I hated watching my coffee get cold while waiting for the steam on my old De'Longhi machine. I like the size. It does not take up a lot of counter space. It is also very easy to clean. I set it to the maximum temperature and the coffee is very hot. I like that you can set the quantity of the one and two cup espresso sizes. I dropped one star because the crema is not as thick as I would like. One last point: You cannot adjust the automatic shut-off for the hot water like you can for the espresso. They should add this functionality on future machines.

I took a chance on going cheaper with Casabrews vs the competitor and am very happy I did! From the ease of use to the ease of cleaning I am overall very satisfied. It’s very simple to operate. I wanted a machine that can do hot water only and it works great. The steam wand is pretty decent for the price point. The top of the machines gets warm to heat up your cups. I typically let it warm up for 5-10 min, as that is just what I’ve set my routine to, it doesn’t take nearly that long. I like the smaller footprint; it doesn’t take up too much space. I prefer to have a separate grinder, which I’m still needing to upgrade, but even with the cheap grinder I’m pulling pretty good shots. I did purchase a bottomless Portafilter and I enjoy using that one, but I am pleasantly impressed with the dual spout that comes with the machine. The tamper is just a cheap plastic tool that needs to be upgraded to get a nice calibrated tamp, but certainly is functional enough to get started. This machine comes with several baskets to fit your needs which is great! It holds ample water to pull many shots before needing to be refilled. If you’re looking for a machine to get you started or even someone that is well versed in the espresso world, this is a winner. The manual that comes with the machine is very easy follow to make any adjustments. I would purchase this machine again! I give 5 stars because I really don’t have complaints, I paid under $200 on a sale and for what this machine offers, you just can’t beat it.

Admitted espresso newbie here, but the machine is excellent. I had a fully automatic espresso machine before, but then found black liquid running into my coffee after 5 years . The internal brewing was all plastic, so I was looking for something with all metal and came across this machine. There are more well known brands and machines, but they cost double this price for entry level. The portafilter and baskets are all stainless steel and of great quality. The machine offers me enough flexibility to live out my barista dreams without overwhelming me - both in time and effort. Really thoughtfully designed, from the robust 2.2 liter tank to the large drip tray to the push button operation. It's also large enough to not walk off the counter, but compact enough to fit under my cabinets. I don't have a ton of time to pull 100 shots to experiment and "dial in" and do a lot of maintenance, and the Ultra is minimal effort compared to better established Italian brand buget offerings. To paraphrase a review I saw on YouTube, this machine is for people who are trying to maximize their dollar/quality per shot of espresso. NOTE: the machine will flush out excess water via a solenoid valve after pulling a shot, but not immediately. Wait about 20 seconds, you'll hear it flush and also see steam from the drip tray where it pushes the excess water. This has been criticized, but I appreciate, from a design standpoint, this also means you don't have to back flush the valve and will ensure longevity. Because this machine doesn't flush immediately after you stop the shot, there will be about 5 seconds of extra drip. If you anticipate that in your recipe, you'll be fine.

The espresso machine I previously had developed some leaking after 2+ years of use and I needed a replacement, but that brand is no longer available. After receiving & returning another brand $120 espresso machine, I'm glad I spent the extra money for the Casabrews ULTRA. I've had it for a few days now and like that it is a good quality, solid-built machine. It is less noisy than the smaller, cheaper machines I've had and produces a good quality espresso with a choice of brew baskets. The ULTRA provides an easy way to adjust the volume of each size cup (single & double) which allows me to make coffee just the way I like it. The steamer & hot water each have a dedicated button, and no knob to turn which I have found difficult to operate with other machines. The steam & hot water each deliver nicely without inconsistent spitting. It offers a descaling feature which takes away the guesswork, although I have not tried it yet. The ULTRA is larger than other machines I've had, but well worth the extra counter space for the quality provided. By registering the product, the company offers an additional 6-mo warranty. 5-stars, no question!

I’m loving this espresso machine! It’s good quality, easy to use and makes great espresso drinks. I was torn between this one and buying the breville which is at least double the price. I’m so glad I went with this one. Definitely reccomend!

This machine delivers, if you are an espresso enthusiast! What surprised me most was the “TRULY RECOMMEND TO READ” manual, well done CASABREWS! To be able to adjust the extraction temperature, in three simple steps and monitor and adjust the extraction time/espresso volume also very easy, makes this machine to a clear winner! I certainly can recommend this espresso machine, also the build quality is great, particularly considering the price tag.

Great 👍 for steaming milk and easy to use

This is such a great machine. I have had a lot of trial & error with coffee machines. This one is really good & it looks very nice.

I decided to try a different machine. Had a Breville Cafe Roma and was very happy with it but it started leaking. For the money they are hard to beat if you just want a decent espresso with no frills. This machine was on sale and about $60-$100 more than the Breville depending on sale price. First impression: it is a much nicer looking machine and looks to be better quality so hopefully durability is decent. It has an easy to read display, is programmable and is intuitive to use. After some trial runs I got the grind right and it makes a nice espresso. Default settings made a nice creamy brew, not burnt or weak though not as "creamy" as the Breville and needed to use a finer grind. I'm sure I can get it dialed in with some more adjustment as you can set the temperature and duration of a pull. I don't use the steam function often but tried it out. It was painfully loud to start but then did quiet down once the froth started to form. This is why it does not get a 5 star. The machine does NOT come with a frothing container so I used the small one I have. It was not ideal as it really started to splatter once the froth started to build. I'll pick up a larger one and see how that works. It made a nice latte but the froth was not that dense. This is where a more expensive machine is probably better if that's what you're after. For me I just want a good espresso and it delivers. The water tank is a good size, it doesn't take up too much counter space and looks nice. There is no built in grinder but for the money it is on par with machines that are two or three times the price. It is also easy to clean, especially the steam wand which I appreciated. *Update after a few months of use. Overall I like the machine though it has taken a bit of trial and error to get that nice rich creamy espresso consistently. The grind is critical and make sure to prime it by running the hot water for at least 5 seconds before a pull. I like the larger water tank and overall it's a nice looking machine and build quality is good for this price point. If you are on a budget though and want a no frills espresso machine the Breville Cafe Roma is still hard to beat though.

Makes great coffee
