5.0 out of 5 stars Capable espresso machine for the money! (With the right accessories)
Reviewed in the United States on November 29, 2023
Color: A-SilverVerified Purchase
TL;DR
Stock: Good, easy-to-use machine, espresso tamp not good, ok shots with pressurized baskets, needs milk pitcher, great milk texturing.
With accessories (better tamp, portafilter, non-pressurized baskets, and milk pitcher): Good shots with good crema! Great machine for the price!

I bought the machine for making espresso-based drinks at work and it works well! I have a Breville Barista Pro at home, which I can compare to.

Unboxing and Instructions:
Pretty easy to follow, both for prepping and using the machine. Straight forward with how to do each step of the process. Workflow-wise, pressing steam to warm up the machine for milk steaming is a little different, but ok. I also did custom volumes for the shots as this provided better control, both for the time of the shot and yield in the cup. Pretty easy to do!

Tamp:
Please get a different tamp, especially with non-pressurized baskets. Night and day difference with a better tamp.

Portafilter:
It's decent. Comes with pressurized baskets with a weird plastic design underneath the basket for the spouts. Definitely recommend getting a different portafilter. The Casabrews 51mm bottomless portafilter works great with it!

Coffee:
I have only used fresh, locally roasted coffee for the machine. I also have a hand grinder to dial in the espresso. I have not tried pre-ground coffee in the machine, which can use the pressurized baskets.

Espresso Pulls:
With the stock machine, you only get pressurized baskets. When pulling shots with those baskets, flavors are ok but too light. Crema from the shot was also poor and too bubbly. After several attempts to try and make it work, I bought the bottomless portafilter from Casabrews. This comes with a non-pressurized basket. After dialing in on the espresso and doing a custom volume for the shot (much better for control), finally GOOD FLAVOR from the shot! The same type of shot I pull from the Breville I can get from the Casabrews. The shots are slightly better from the Breville, but for the price, it's great.

Milk Steaming:
Doesn't come with a milk pitcher, so you'll need to buy one. Compared to the Breville, the wand is smaller, only a single nozzle, and much less pressure to texture/swirl the milk. It is also much slower to steam milk. Even then, I am still able to get a good, even texture on the milk. One thing that is annoying is the large range on the knob for milk steaming. Maybe I'm used to the Barista Pro, but having to twist the knob multiple times to get the steam maxed out and then to stop steaming is a little weird.

Final Thoughts:
After getting all of the accessories, great little machine! If you buy the stock machine, I think you will still be able to make decently enjoyable espressos and milk-based drinks. So much better than just Keurig coffee at work! Compared to the Breville Barista Pro, the stock machine is a bit underwhelming. With accessories, you can have a satisfying workflow and create some very tasty drinks! Definitely recommended if you can spend a little extra in accessories.

I have had this machine for a couple months now,
Pros: Heats up very quickly for shots and steam. Small footprint on counter. Easy to fill large water reservoir. Great creama on shots. Excellent, silky, milk steaming. The milk steamer heats up in 2-3 secs.
Great tasing shots. Single and double shots stop automatically so you don't have to watch. Easy to clean. Looks good.
Cons: I would like a larger basket

Good machine for the price. Had a water leak after a week of use. Contacted support via email, explained that the water tank would not seal and leaked all over my counter. They responded within a few hours and asked me to try again, making sure the tank was properly seated. I did & it still leaked. Another email to support. Quick response telling me they are sending new machine. So within 3 days after first email I have replacement machine & am happy camper. BTW, it makes great expresso too!

I really like this expresso machine. It is simple to use once I read the directions and they give you a really good instruction booklet on how to use it the very first time and beyond. Makes great expresso and my SIL says it has a great steamer too for lattes. I’m glad i took a chance on it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect cup! (with practice)
Reviewed in the United States on March 14, 2024

Great product right out of the box. Heats fast, steams fast, lots of steam and pressure. As with any new appliance, it will take some time to learn. We started with single shots, and then tried double shots. The single was 1.5 oz, double was 5 oz. Reading the manual you learn how to adjust each for however much water you get in each, allowing you to order up the perfect shot for which ever beverage you are brewing. I found this awesome! No problems so far, very happy with purchase. Could have found a cheaper machine, but this on is worth every penny. Slim sleek fits kitchen decor, quiet and works quick.

5.0 out of 5 stars I LOVE THIS ESPRESSO MACHINE!!!
Reviewed in the United States on May 5, 2024
Color: BlackVerified Purchase
It's a pint-sized powerhouse!! It fits perfectly in our kitchen, and we love it—we have only had it a week! The coffee comes out creamy and delicious, and the steamer provides that full-bodied coffeehouse latte we love! This is going to save us much money going to Sta*buc*ks. We've been trying different methods since 2020, and so my only regret is not buying this sooner. You can't go wrong with the price, and the machine is very well-made. If you are on the fence on whether or not to buy it, let me say I am thrifty, and this really delivers the savings!!

Muy fácil de usar, con mestructura hermosa que la convierte en la reina de la cocina. Muy buenos resultados a la hora de colar el café expreso, extrayendo al máximo el aroma color textura. Para un expresso aromatico visualmente único. Lo recomiendo

I’m so happy with my purchase. I made my morning double shot espresso with this machine and it came out so creamy, smooth and perfectly balanced. It absolutely values for the price and highly recommend.
