CASABREWS3700 Essential Espresso Machine 20 Bar, Compact Coffee Maker with Steam Frother for Cappuccino, Latte, 43.9oz Water Tank, Pastel Green

Why did you pick this product vs others?:For the price, this is a great little espresso machine. It was my first one, and it takes a bit of learning to get the hang of brewing espresso, but the instruction book is very helpful. Everyone I have over says how good the espresso tastes from this machine. It heats up fast, the brew time and temperature are great, the shots look and taste delicious. The steamer wand is as advertised - I'm admittedly not great at steaming milk, so I just microwave the milk instead. The little tamper/scoop tool is a bit flimsy (I bought a more sturdy tamper separately), but that's the case with any machine in this price range. I am upgrading from this machine for two reasons - I want a bigger portafilter (the Casabrews has a 51mm portafilter, and only fits about 16g coffee grounds in the double basket), and I'm buying a machine that does automatic steaming. Otherwise, I have no reason to get rid of this machine. I've used it a few times a week for about a year, and no issues!

Is an excellent choice for beginners looking to enjoy quality espresso at home just like me. With its 20-bar pressure system, it brews rich, flavorful shots and features a user-friendly interface and a compact stainless steel design. The built-in steam frother is perfect for making cappuccinos and lattes. Overall, it’s a stylish and affordable machine that delivers great value for everyday coffee lovers like me.

Wonderful product. I was hesitant to buy it because of the price but I was pleasantly surprised at how much more flavor and great taste my morning expresso has compared to my old machine. It is easy to use and clean. It looks great on my kitchen counter! You will not be disappointed if you purchase this product.

I would call myself an intermediate coffee enthusiast. I do have some barista training but nothing crazy, so I know what I’m looking for, but I can’t make a professional grade latte.I did a lot of research before landing on this specific machine. Across the boards, this machine seemed to be the best of both worlds. It wouldn’t break the bank and it could make a solid cup of coffee.I’m very happy to report that it delivered. I’ve had this machine for about 15 days now, and trying a couple different espresso brands to see what was the best fit, I’m getting a really good latte every time. The espresso pulls nicely, with a good crema. The steaming wand works well and I’m getting a good, velvety texture. I love the size of the machine, it fits very well on your counter.I only have one complaint. Every now and then, the portafilter won’t lock in. It happened the first time I used the machine and I thought I was doing something wrong. Turns out nope, sometimes it just seems to decide it won’t lock in. There doesn’t seem to be any rhyme or reason to it. Basically you just have to hug the whole machine and really wrench the portafilter in when this happens. I don’t love this aspect, but for $99 and everything else working really well, I’m not going to judge, and I’m just going to enjoy my latte.

I was recommended this specific Casabrews model from someone who has been using it for years without any problems. For the price it is the perfect machine. It is very sturdy and professional looking. It is very easy to use. I wanted to start out with an inexpensive model. It has everything I need. No reason to look further at the more expensive machines when this brews the perfect cappuccino.

The media could not be loaded. This little machine does wonders! As a beginner “home barista,” I have learned so much about espresso making, latte art, and the up-keeping of an espresso machine. The steam wand works great, and the machine makes excellent espressos. I use Café Bustelo ground coffee for the portafilter and it does the trick for me.Cup Warmer:I love that I can keep my cup warm on top of the machine while I am frothing my milk, or while I am doing chores. Super compact.Cleanliness:As the instructions state, keeping the machine clean is very important for the functionality of it. Before using the steam wand, it’s necessary to turn it on before using it to froth milk, so that it can pour out some excess water that may be left in the steam wand. It’s also imperative to wipe the steam wand with a hot rag after each use, and to NOT brew espresso immediately after frothing milk.Milk Frothing:It took me a bit to learn about milk frothing. I have tips and tricks regarding how to position the milk frothing pitcher (which is sold separately.) it does give instructions on how to angle the pitcher to make silky, smooth milk. But I am visual, so watching videos helped me improve.Quickness:The coffee is made very fast! For the double shot, it is literally ready within 15 seconds. Super fast, especially if you are in a hurry.Recap:This is a great beginners machine. I recommend this for anyone who is curious about espresso making, is okay with upkeeping the machine daily, and wants to learn the ins and outs of espresso making! :) Thank you CASABREWS! ☕️

This espresso machine is awesome. I have never owned one before so I can not compare it to anything, but it makes awesome espresso with a ton of froth and the steamer wand works perfectly. Its super easy to use too. For 100 bucks this is totally worth it.

Coffee tastes great! Efficient compact espresso machine for beginners. Plastic content is great because it is food grade and can be washed. Metal color is good but baby blue is the most beautiful 👍! Great build quality and purchase for the price! It got 4 stars because water tank does not have a water filter system similar to Keurig and because steamer is a bit hard to use with bigger cups. Clean plastic water tank and change water every week to avoid mold issues. Everything else works like a charm. Buy the wooden portafilter for 9 Bar espresso for more coffee per shot! Other accessories to buy include metal cup for steamed milk and milk frother.
