 First impression is good
Bought this coffee maker for my office. It is compact and appears to be well designed. Amazon delivered a little later than promised but no big issue there. The unit is new and well packaged. All parts were intact. Unboxed it and removed all the protective tapes and filled it up with water, hooked up the juice and off it started. Followed instructions and ran couple empty cycles. The espresso quality is very good and I use only illy espresso powder. The steam wand works great to warm up the milk and give it a good froth. The cup warmers do work after a few minutes. If you like the coffee hot, follow the recommendations and run hot water first before making coffee. The default program for the buttons make 1 or 2 cups which is really small. Fortunately you can program the buttons for larger amount or run 2 cycles of 2 cups which will give about 6 or 7 oz espresso to give you that buzz in the afternoon! Overall I am please with the initial looks and feel and also the speed at which it heats up. Does not make too much noise which is good in an office environment. The gauge is helpful but not that critical. Durability is something I cannot vouch for as I just got it. But for $150 I am not expecting it to last a lifetime but if it brews for a year or two I would say its worth it.

He gave me everything I was looking for and more in incredibly reasonable price.
I was considering spending a lot more money for a high-end espresso machine, but decided to try this 20 bar espresso machine and I’m certainly glad I did. I am drinking some of the best homemade espresso, out of this very reasonably priced machine. I wish I had found this machine sooner. It is a USA made machine, with a 20 bar Italian pump. As far as I can tell, everything else is made in the USA.

 Excellent value
Package arrived well on time. Professional packaging, and easy to unpack and set up. I estimate that it weighs about 12 lb, which is very stable for this size machine. The instructions are just a little confusing, but it did not take long to figure out. Runs much more quietly than my previous machine of another brand which was noisy and leaked. Got nice "crema" in the espressos and it was easy to convert my double-espressos into the "lungo" versions by adding hot water from the steam wand. I like the silvery look. I've only had it for one day, but am very happy with it so far. Looking forward to my morning cappuccino.
Morning cappucino was great.

 Love it
I love this espresso machine. Straightforward instructions. Easy to use. Great crema. Heats up fast. Not too noisy. Doesn't take up much space. Definitely gets the job done. Amazing customer service team at Casabrews. I wanted to order an extra part and customer service was very helpful and got me what I wanted quickly.

Came used and dirty, But they made it right
I ordered and paid for a new machine but was sent a used machine. There were actually coffee grinds stuck to the inside of the unit right out of the box....It works great but I had to clean it and felt it necessary to also sanitize it well. The extra work was not what I paid for or agreed to so I'm making this one star. I didn't want to go through hassle of returning it either since it worked fine after cleaning it up. Coffee seems good though!

The little espresso machine that could!
Very happy with my new espresso machine. Yields rich, creamy espresso, frothing function works great no issues with clogging or low pressure.
The only thing I found not ideal for me personally is the wait time. Waiting for it to heat back up to the optimal temp after I have finished making one latte so that I may proceed with another is 3-4 minutes. It will beep until ready. This only bothers me because I am impatient first thing in the morning lol plus my espresso gets cooled off more then I like.
All in all it is a great simple espresso machine to start with and the. Eventually work your way up to something bigger with more automated features if you are wanting that.

 Great machine!
It is really simple to use and made an excellent latte with the creamiest foam. It was perfect. My milk frothing skills are on point. I don't use it daily, so I can't say how long it will last, but it's good quality. The portafilter is kind of hard to turn into place, but that's the way it needs to be to not leak, so I'm ok with it. I just have grouchy wrists. Highly recommend.
