CASABREWS 3700 Essential Espresso Machine 20 Bar, Stainless steel Coffee Maker with Milk Frother, Espresso Coffee Machine for Cappuccino, Latte, 43.9oz Water Tank, Gift for Her, Sapphire Blue

Very solid machine for the price. I used to work for a high end coffee company, and I'm used to seeing high end La Marzoccho's. The one's we had were north of 10 grand. This is not 5 stars the way one of those would be. It also costs less to buy than the minimum service call charge on one of those. But for a home user who isn't on the bleeding edge of coffee culture - it close enough. At this price point, it gives up a couple of features. You might have to wait a few seconds when switching between brewing and steaming, because it's a single boiler. If those seconds are sufficiently precious to you, there are companies that will return them to you in exchange for an extra $400. I've never had to wait more than 5 seconds. Oh, it also has a time limit on how long continuously the steamer will run. Then it needs a couple seconds to catch it's breath and it good for another cycle. Don't remember how long it runs, but it's good foe steaming 22 oz off 33F milk to the point where it's hot but not scalding. If you need to steam a larger quantity, you can either wait a couple of seconds and hit the button again, or start making preps for the next shot you're going to need anyway for that Big Gulp latte you're making. It pulls a good shot out of the box, and I have not had to mess with the timing, but adjustments are available and the manual is clear about how to make them. It also has a reset function if you screw it up and need to start over. The water container for it is large enough that I have yet to have to refill it during the day. And I usually don't bother to checking before pulling the first shot of the day. Construction is solid. I mean, I haven't disassembled it or anything. But everything fits precisely - doesn't make unseemly noises, and it would look good on any countertop. No one is going to look at it and get the impression it's cheap. In fact, it's good looking enough that I down play it when ever anyone sees it for the first time. Don't want them thinking I suddenly inherited money or something. I picked this machine after spending a lot of time comparing features, reading reviews, and reflecting on priorities. I could have spent a lot more - but I don't know what else I could have expected. I could have spent a little less, but this looked like my best bet, and I think I won. I have flogged this machine hard. My wife drinks a lot of coffee - for medical reasons actually. I hear people raving about the endurance of machines they operate "at least once a week." I run this one probably 10 times a day average - granted it's only been a couple of months - but it's been utterly flawless. This is kind of a disposable appliance. At a hundred bucks, no one is sending it in for service, no repairman is going to make a house call. But I've probably pull more shots through it than most people pull in a year, without any issues at all, so I am well satisfied with the value.

I am absolutely thrilled with this espresso machine! It's a stylish, compact powerhouse that has completely elevated my morning coffee routine. 👍 Key Features I Love: Sleek Design: The stainless steel look is modern, elegant, and looks fantastic on my kitchen counter. It has a high-end feel without taking up much space. Quality Espresso: It pulls a surprisingly rich and flavorful shot of espresso with a beautiful layer of crema. It truly tastes like a café-quality drink. Simple to Operate: The button layout is intuitive, making it easy for even a beginner to start making great drinks right away. The portafilter is easy to lock into place. Cup Warmer Tray: The warming tray on top is a great detail for pre-heating your cups, which is essential for a truly hot and enjoyable espresso shot. Perfect Size: It's compact enough for a small kitchen but powerful enough to handle daily use. 📝 Summary: If you're looking to upgrade from a basic coffee maker to an espresso machine, or if you just need a reliable, stylish, and easy-to-use home unit, look no further! This machine offers incredible value and delivers fantastic results every time. Highly recommended!

works like a much more expensive unit. Have used it every morning for 3 months and LOVE it!!! Fast heat up and makes great froth! Honestly, couldn't ask for more out of a home machine and the price was unbeatable ... for around $100.00 you can be drinking Lattes and cappuccinos at home and save your money for a trip to ITALY!!!

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.

これで毎朝完璧！とのことです(プレゼント)。

صعب استخدامه

An excellent little espresso maker! Brews great espresso and steamer works perfectly. Ran the rinse cycles as outlined in the instructions and found no issues with taste or smell. I had no previous experience with espresso machines and found this easy to set up and use. I love it's small size as I have limited counter space. The only thing I would change is that I wish the steam arm was slightly higher or that it raised a little further to get my cup under a bit easier.

Magnifico y gran calidad del café que elabora

Está en un rango de precio que se me hace adecuado para no considerarse un gasto grande e innecesario por no saberle y al mismo tiempo considerarse apto para una cafetera de calidad. Estaba entre este modelo y el CM5418 pero ya que es idéntica a una de Sangkee opté por esta (que a su vez se parece a una Breville, pero no tanto como la otra). Estoy contento con la cafetera, he logrado aprender sobre el grano, su tiempo, el molido, lo importante que es el acomodo del cafe y lo mejor que es comprar otro portafiltro y usar un filtro metálico encima del café para no tener que estar limpiando la parte donde hace contacto con la máquina; la leche el acomodo y los demás accesorios que sirven para tener un mejor extracto. Esto me ha facilitado el pasar de un extracto decente a uno excelente. La he estado usando desde febrero junto con el portafiltros de CAPFEI de 51 mm (que le queda muy bien) ya que la manera en que funciona el que viene incluido genera mucha turbulencia en el café que sale. Con 16.3 a 16.6 gramos sale bastante bien la crema y el chorro es constante (si el café que tenga está en buen estado).
