The espresso works very well for two cups, using the 2 cup filter, however not possible to use for single cup as filter was missing even though specified that both are part of the purchase. Overall makes good coffee and even has a short pre-infusion step prior to the full water dispensing. Also heats up fairly quickly, mus faster than my previous Breville model.

easy to set up and learn how to use
this machine is great quality, attractive, and easy to use for the price. it was so easy to set up and learn to use, and iâve been using it for almost a year with no problems. the espresso tastes good to me for normal every day use. the machine is a great, compact size. i only wish the suction at the bottom worked better because you have to hold the machine down in order to pull a shot of espresso, kind of annoying but not a big deal. the milk frother also works great, iâve made great lattes with it and it was a bit of a learning curve but not hard to figure out after a couple of youtube tutorials. the machine heats up super fast and is fast and simple to use in the morning. the tamp/ coffee scoop that comes with it is just plastic, so i might replace it with a heavier tamp.

Wonderful Machine
I waited to review this machine until I had used it for a few months. It has held up extremely well. I’m extremely happy with this machine. It is really well built and a quality home machine for the average person. If you need all of the fancy bells and whistles then this one probably won’t suit your needs but for someone who just needs some good espresso and steamed milk, this is phenomenal. It is really well priced for what it accomplishes. I love the metal exterior and just how sturdy this machine feels. There seems to be very little plastic involved which is super nice.My only notes of things I didn’t like are the “factory smell” when it first came and how long it takes the cup warmer to get warmed up. Both are pretty manageable and aren’t super big issues. To get rid of the factory smell, rinse the heck out of it. It will linger for a bit but it does go away, trust me. The warmer can be “primed” by doing a clear water run first after you turn it on. It gets fairly warm after that. I barely use the warmer anyway but that does get it warmed up.The sound and noise of it is pretty impressive for a budget machine. It will make a loud grumble at first when pouring the shot but it lasts for maybe a second or two and then goes to a low hum during the rest.As for the taste, I have to say it’s very nice. I’ve used a few different types of coffee for it. My favorite so far has been from a local shop that roasts their beans in house and grinds them for you if you ask during the purchase. That’s my biggest recommendation for a nice beverage, is fresh quality coffee. I don’t have a grinder at the moment but I’m planning on getting one soon to just make it even better. That’s the only reason I don’t grind them myself. I prefer that type of coffee but I have used Cafe Bustelo with this machine and if you’re making lattes, it does the job. I recommend getting better coffee though if you can.The steam wand is one of my favourite parts of this machine and it was a major reason that I gravitated towards this machine. The wand doesn’t feel loose or flimsy like many budget machines do. This one is nice, hefty, powerful, and very nice looking.I highly recommend this machine to anyone who just needs a simple yet good machine. It is great for people who are on a budget and can’t afford the ones you see in the YouTube shorts from influencer baristas. This one is a great deal. Just work with it a bit and then it’ll be easy. It just takes acquainting yourself with it and getting a rhythm going.

Easy to use !!
I am really enjoying this espresso machine so far! I have never ever made espresso in my life before ordering this and I was surprised how easy it is! I thought it would take a few tries but my first 2 cups were great. Now, frothing the milk is another story I will have to practice that some more but my lattes have tasted really good -theyâre just not very pretty yet. It does not come with a milk pitcher so you will need to buy one separately, but otherwise it comes with everything you need. Easy to use, easy to clean, truly I have no complaints! 🙂

Perfect expresso shot
This expresso machine is great. The coffee comes out strong and flavorful. The only downside is that it doesn’t come out super hot unless you pre-heat the machine. I always forget to do it, and sometimes I just give it a few seconds on the microwave to get the perfect temperature. The milk frother is great. Some reviews mention the frother doesn’t do a good job, and that’s probably because they aren’t following instructions or using the tools. This is the perfect machine to get started into expresso.

This is so much better than an $8 cuppa
First off, I thought I was missing the 1 cup filter and texted support the day after delivery. They got back to me within 24 hours with a picture showing where it should be (as well as promises to ship if I couldn’t find it) and lo, there it was. Very quick and easy, decent English.The machine itself? I could gush for some time but here are the high points.-Makes better espresso than I’ve ever had out and about and paid $2-$4 a shot for. Hands down. ‘Bar’ none.-Steam wand is rather anemic IF starting from cold. Bringing your milk up to room temp-ish in the microwave is highly advised. Does well enough then.-Make SURE you follow directions and preheat your machine! I find this to be critical.-Makes nice froth on a double, can’t vouch for the single.-The water tank (which was a point of concern for me, structurally speaking) has a nice wide, if not sturdy hinge and slides on and off the machine with great ease and a solid connection.Overall this has been the best $100 I’ve spent in months and months. Although now I end up drinking 2-4 shots a day. Easy! Tasty!

Nice Espresso machine for the money
This is really a nice espresso machine, great for saving space on counters. Make great and hot coffee, the frothing is easy to use and clean. Makes great espresso, and easy on the budget.

I had an issue with the first unit, and Casabrews made it right in less than 24 hours! The machine makes a very decent espresso- with nice crema. The only issue is that the machine needs to be held when removing the portafilter, but at the price point, I can live with it. I bought this to replace a Nespresso Gran Latissima, as I find the pods expensive and kinda wasteful, and I am satisfied with the quality of the espresso produced by this machine. I have used Lavazza Crema e Gusto so far with this machine (for reference)
