Customer Reviews
Real Espresso Coffee
This machine makes GREAT Espresso coffee. I have owned several low cost (in this arena 100 bucks is low cost) pump type brewers and none of them have made Espresso coffee this good. The special filtering mechanism really does create a soft, enjoyable "chrema" on the top layer of your cup of Joe. I have not tried the steamer, preferring my Espresso "straight" so I cannot comment on that. I especially like the fact that it has a stainless steel tank, a large water storage tank and the ability to make a double shot (or two singles simultaneously). Some have commented that the single/double shot is not enough. I say to that, just continue to brew more. I usually make two shots in a single coffee mug and drink that!
Functional
I purchased this item to avoid paying $5 for a cup of coffee every day. This was my first venture into at-home espresso making so I wanted to keep it simple and affordable. I did read reviews of this product before purchasing and that helped in my decision regarding purchasing this model. It is quite easy to use; I have made espresso and steamed milk with it. I was actually quite impressed with the steaming. It works very well and gets the milk hot rather quickly. Sometimes the espresso seems to pump out very slowly. It comes out in drops rather than a straight stream. I have cleaned the pod holder and it doesn't seem to matter. One other issue I have is that pods don't actually work; the espresso comes out watery. To solve this, I open the pods and place the grounds into the pod holder and this works well though it is an extra step. So now I just purchase beans and grind them to save money on the pods. If this is your first espresso machine and you don't want to pay a lot of money, this isn't a bad machine. I will be purchasing a higher quality, more expensive machine in the future.
