Espresso Machine, 20Bar Compact Stainless Espresso Maker, With Milk Frother Steam Wand, 57.5OZ Removable Water Tank, Displays Making Time & Water Temperature, Cold Brew & Cappuccino, Silver

Bought two of these 14 months ago: 1) Makes a great cup, hot, very tasty; I work in the coffee industry, this is a great mini version of a proper espresso machine 2) It's miniature, especially great for small kitchens. Stainless steel, very easy to use and clean 3) The milk steamer is average, almost a gimmick If what you care is the classic black coffee with milk this is a great option, definitely good value

This 20-bar espresso machine is compact, stylish, and very easy to use. It makes great-tasting coffee with a nice crema, and the steam wand works perfectly for cappuccinos and lattes. The water tank is spacious and convenient, and the display showing brew time and water temperature gives it a modern touch. Perfect for enjoying great coffee at home without taking up much space… I’m in love with my coffee maker 😍

I bought this espresso maker a few months ago when my old machine started leaking. The price was so good that I decided to wait a couple of months before posting this review to ensure the thing wouldn't break two weeks after I bought it. I've had it for three months now and it's still working fine, so here's my review. DESCRIPTION: This is a decent little machine, with a very small footprint and an actual steam wand. It comes with pressurized baskets for one or two shots, as well as one for Americanos. Three buttons on the front are used to choose the type of shot you want (one-shot, two-shot, or Americano). Each shot is timed and shuts off automatically. A dial on the side of the espresso maker lets you choose between channeling water to the group head, or to the steam wand as either hot water or steam. It comes with a plastic tamper. The basket size is 51mm. PROS: ● Small footprint means it takes up very little counter space. ● An actual steam wand rather than a Panarello. ● Very large water reservoir that's easy to refill. ● Water heats up quickly COMMENTS: The espresso maker is equipped with suction feet, which, given the machine's small size, is necessary because they keep it in one place. While a Panerello wand requires less skill and practice, you'll get better steamed milk with a steam wand once you learn to use it, but it also means you have to be more diligent about cleaning it. Milk will get stuck on the wand after using it. I recommend wiping it down with a scrubbing cloth after each use (I use Chore Boy Golden Fleece Scrubbing Clothes). CONS: ● Problematic portafilter ● Plastic tamper COMMENTS: The first thing you'll want to do is replace the plastic tamper with a metal one that has some heft. I'd also recommend tossing out the pressurized baskets in favor of non-pressurized baskets, but this will also mean you'll have to get your grind just right. [NOTE: Remember that changing the coffee you're using will mean changing your grind settings.] BOTTOM LINE: This machine is definitely worth the price. After three months, it's still working fine with no leaks.

I know this isn’t as fancy as other brands, but it makes a solid espresso in a short amount of time. I love the water reservoir so we don’t have to refill every time we want a drink. The portafilter is a tight fit so you need both hands to turn it and hold the machine. I’m not an espresso connoisseur, but I think it’s makes a decent shot that we add to cappuccinos and shaken espressos. We’re happy with our purchase.

Reducing to 1* due to machine being defective. No longer exerting enough pressure for good shots and the portafilter has started leaking. I've done all troubleshooting and steps that should be taken for these issues to no success. Machine is basically a hot water machine now. 4.5* The warmer on top could certainly be better but other than that I haven't had any issues. Seems to be as advertised. It's definitely quieter than my nespresso machine and makes a better shot for sure. Getting the grind and tamping right takes a bit of trial and error if you're new to making espresso but once you get that down, this machine will do what you need. The Americano option is also a little wonky imo but I haven't messed with it very much. I just run my shots and use the hot water function when I make an americano 🤷🏻‍♀️ as long as it lasts it seems like it's gonna be a great purchase 😌

I waited a year before making this review. I could not be more impressed with how well this machine has been performing, regardless of its low price. I have been making two or three americacano's a day for a year. Every cup is just like the last. It takes about 90 seconds to have a hot eight ounce americacano! The only time it leaks is if I grind the beans too fine. Once I dial in my grinder, Im set until I switch to different bean. I feel like I have already got my moneys worth. If it died tomorrow, I would order another one.

It's the best to make my coffee in the mornings, if you don't have much time I recommend it and it's easy to use, the delivery was 6 days but I'm very happy with my new coffee maker.

I wanted to like this, but couldn’t. The good: Makes fine espresso. Uses a typical pressurized portofilter, so there’s no skill to it. It can use normal drip coffee grinds. Looks nice. Has timed (albeit short) presets for single and double shots. But… The display is useless. 198 degrees is the temperature shown…but it never changes. No other status is shown. Might as well say “On” The worst part…the FROTHER. It’s not removable. It’s very hard to clean. It’s got a small orifice that doesn’t froth very well. It just makes A LOT of noise. Not good at 5am. The ones with the removable barrel are quieter and foam better. The foam selector is poorly designed. To go from coffee to steam you have to go past “hot water” which you don’t need in your milk. And then you have to stand by for several seconds while it heats up and pressurizes. Other machines have a much simpler switch design that preheats ahead of time and then steams on command. It’s pretty, but other machines work much better
