Missing manual page=more trouble than it’s worth
I feel like this could be a legit espresso maker, but the machine I received has an instruction manual thatâs got a blank pageâ¦which happens to be the one with the first 4 steps to making coffee.I searched online for a video or something to help me. Found incredibly little information. OK, fine. How hard can this be if Iâve had several espresso machines previously? Well, turns out that, though itâs not hard to work the machine, itâs definitely hard to figure out how much coffee to put in to make a good espresso. Tried and failed at making several cups and just was over it because Iâm tired of making gross coffee. Ultimately, I wrote it off because thereâs not a lot of room for errorâthe only thing you can adjust is the amount of water, and thanks to an insufficient manual, I donât even know if I can use anything other than the 3 pre-determined amounts.Soâ¦here are some suggestions for SimpleTaste: 1) Include recipes for the various drinks listed in the manual. Or even just ratios. We can probably do math. 2) Thereâs a graph that showsâ¦I have no idea what because the axes arenât labeled. 3) Put some content online, please, including the manual, videos of how to use the machine, or other information that users would find interesting. As it is, what I found about SimpleTaste is that itâs one of those companies that dabbles in a bunch of things, which means itâs probably not overly serious about any of them.It seemed like a good idea (and a novel one to be able to brew an iced coffee without wires), but I couldnât get it to do its most basic function.

Super portable and very easy to use
I got this to take camping, and it is so nice to have something like this with you for colder mornings.All the convenience of the coffee maker you have at home in something that fits pretty easily in your pack.No need to wait for water to boil, just fill the tank, add your grounds, hit a button and coffee will happen.Uses very little power, can be plugged into a portable battery or a car and work no problem.Coffee that it makes is also perfectly fine. Is it gourmet? Not really. But it is great when the only other option could take 15-20 minutes.

Compact!
This machine is compact, making it perfect for travel or apartment living. It is rated 20 bar and if it is any less it would be crap. It makes an ok cup of espresso, so if you really love coffee and need something small, this machine is a good value for your money.

Easy to use
Breed quick and efficient. Warms up super quick, I just wish it could hear it up hotter even if that means it took an extra minute. No complaints whatsoever.

Cool idea, but impractical in use.
Pros- Portable and compact design makes it ideal for travel, camping, office, or home use- Dual power options provide flexibility for brewing in different locations- Supports both hot and cold brew functions for versatile coffee-making- 6.1oz water tank allows for single-serve brewing without excessive wasteCons- Small water tank requires frequent refilling for multiple servings and results in rather weak coffee/espresso- Manual operation requires more effort compared to fully automatic machines- Limited capacity may not be suitable for brewing multiple cups at once- May not accommodate larger coffee pods or grounds, restricting coffee variety

A Gamechanger for Coffee Lovers!!!
This coffee machine is pure genius. I mean, who even thought it was possible to make an espresso machine this small? It’s even smaller than some K-cup machines I’ve seen. My office doesn’t have a coffee machine, and I need at least three cups a day to survive, so now I can just bring this little guy with me and make coffee anytime. Perfect for me, seriously.Oh, and the cold brew mode? Like, what? An espresso machine that doesn’t need to be plugged in to make cold brew? Never seen that before. Super cool feature.Anyway, if you love coffee and want something compact and portable, I’d totally recommend this!

So happy with my new Espresso Machine
I love this little machine, it is exactly what I needed. I have a very limited counter, so size was the top priority, it is so easy to use, (once you read the directions) easy to clean, and makes a wonderful cup of espresso or latte (my two favs). The frother is a special bonus. Overall, this is a great little machine. Also, came very well packaged.
