Value Rating: 5/5 starsFor the price point, this machine seriously overdelivers. It pulls solid espresso shots and has a premium feel that makes it a great entry-level option for anyone looking to get into home brewing.Specifications: • Manual espresso machine • Built-in steam wand • Includes portafilter and accessories • Compact footprint for smaller countertops • Stainless steel housing (depending on model)Key Points:I wasn’t expecting much, but I was honestly impressed. This machine heats up quickly, pulls a nice, even shot, and doesn’t feel like a flimsy starter model. The steam wand isn’t café-level powerful, but it does the job for a quick cappuccino or latte. The build quality feels sturdy, and the overall aesthetic looks great on the counter. It’s simple to use, easy to clean, and perfect for someone who wants a real espresso setup without breaking the bank.Final Thoughts:Great for beginners or anyone who wants a no-fuss machine that still delivers good results. I could see this being a staple in my kitchen for a long time.

First off all, this is my first ever expresso machine and cannot tell you in comparison. It took me some time to learn how to work it. The steam with froath itself is amazing, and the expresso is smooth. I could actually drink this latte without any sugar and not miss it.The quality of each individual thing provided is high quality such as the froath steel mug, cup, spoon, and the machine.Now for the cons: I rate this more like a 4.5, because there is no "stop" and you get to choose how much which doesn't really make sense. Even the froath, I had to use small amount bc the steam fills it up fast and takes some time to get hot. The expresso filter, don't like that i need to buy them and it's hard to lock and unlock it. Also, parts of it was dusty! I definitely cleaned it before using.Nonetheless, I think its worth learning how to use it given the taste. Overall happy to recommend!!

These espresso maker is comparable to the branded ones. It is easy to use and wow, it made great coffee. I used it a few times already and the milk frother worked perfectly in warming up the milk for latte. Overall it is a great find and very good for the price.

Review is for espresso machine.This espresso machine is nice and compact that it's right next to my coffee station. It comes with coffee cup and also small manual coffee grinder, which was a plus. It was easy to setup based on instruction provided. Steam wand works well to steam the milk for cappuccino. However, putting the puck in the machine takes some force and I it does not easily go into lock position. I usually have to hold the machine with one hand and lock the puck with other hand to make sure it's in lock position. Because of these I question reliability on how long this will last until one these item breaks due to how much I need to put to put the puck inside.Other than that, it works great

I wasn't sure what to expect with this honestly. But I'm impressed. This little machine is a powerhouse. I would advise getting a better tamper (but that's pretty standard, really). The milk frothing cup is nice, and the measurements are marked. The only problem I could potentially see with the actual machine is that it is NOT an automatic cut-off when making espresso. Easy enough fix-just watch it-but for a inexperienced home barista, it can lead to over- or under-extraction. Easy enough learning curve, but all the same. It was an expectation that wasn't met. The frother is great, and gets to steam really quickly.Not having the auto-cutoff wasn't really enough to warrant deducting a star, but there was also a couple of pages missing from the manual at the front, and presumably 1 or 2 at the back (folded-style manual). Again, for an experienced person, this might not be a big deal (I have had a couple of espresso makers before and pretty well get the idea), but for a brand-new maker, this could be important information. At least a part of it was warning and important safety information. The manual itself isn't great, but does get the point across on running the machine, although I'd look up some more detailed instructions for espresso and espresso-based drink recipes if you are new to it.

Overall this is a nice expresso machine. My husband loved the cup warmer detail.He's used this 2x now, and said that it's pretty easy to use. He hasn't tried the milk steamer part yet.This seems like a good value for the money. Many similar machines are 2x the cost.

I fell in love with my daily latte habit using a very expensive machine at my office, but when maternity leave hit, I was sadly left with my usual drip coffee. It was fine, but when I saw this beauty, I had to give it a try. It is quite compact, pictured here among my other breakfast bar appliances. It's also a lot more work than my drip coffee maker. But this little machine makes a delicious drink, and on my leave (and on work-from-home days) I have the time for the luxurious espresso drinks.The main box contains all that's pictured in the listing, but my order included another small box taped to it, with a cup, matching ceramic stirring spoon, and a set of filters. I read the manual thoroughly before starting it up, and setup was very easy. It does NOT have all the bells and whistles of the fancy machine at my office (that one grinds the beans fresh, tamps them for you, meters out the water for each shot, dumps the used grounds into an internal receptacle, and steams the right amount of milk for the beverage of your choice from six different options). The handle is rather tight to move the grounds into the lock position to get the espresso. You have to manually turn off the water when you have the amount of espresso you want in your cup, which leaves quite a bit of room for error in ratios, but also allows you to customize the strength once you get the hang of it. This machine is very hands-on, but it works like a charm and brews a delightful beverage. I love it very dearly already.
