A perfect home machine

Great machine and super easy to use at home. The price was fair and I did order the milk frothing stainless steel pitcher to go with it (not included). The area under the espresso drip is a bit on the tight (short) side would be my only complaint. It does make some noise when brewing but only for 27 seconds so not really an issue. The frother works great as well. Would highly recommend to anyone wanting to avoid super expensive options and going out for a latte. Appearance is nice, no odors, easy to clean, and heats up quickly. The machine is also not bulky on the counterVer más

Best of purchases

I love my morning cappuccino, and wanted to upgrade from my dingy small manual coffee maker to this magnificent machine. I wasn't willing to pay $600+ like another famous brand, and came to Amazon. Well I found this and only spent around $245 on sale!! It arrived well packaged, came with everything except the tools to clean it but that's alright because I love the machine so much! It's easy to learn how to use, videos on YouTube and the pamphlet are easy to follow, the quality of the machine is professional, no leaking, no cheap parts, the taste of the coffee is amazing, and it looks very sleek and nice like I'm at a cafe. The value of the machine is great, and is one of the best and most looked-forward purchase of 2025/2026 I've made.Ver más

DONTTTTTT, its terrible

Wow! This is a horrible product. So lets start by saying the part that holds the coffee for the “shot” has a little tiny mesh filter so that the air will make it appear like its a shot with crema on top, but its not, its brewed coffee at best, pretending to be an espresso shot. Also the frother is so bad, its hard to clean, you have to take it apart every time because the milk stays under the metal top and you have to manually clean it. Thats not all! The instructions say IF it overheats do a single shot, it should say WHEN it overheats, which is every single time ever. So making disappointing coffee takes forever! I wasnt expecting anything fancy for this price point, im not insane. But there are way better made in china type cheap espresso makers that are way better. And are at least actual espresso makers not fake ones. And if you're a serious about your espresso and want something easy and consistently great get a Breville Bambino plus, its easy to use, easy to clean and fantastic quality and durability.Ver más

So far a great alternative to pricier machines.

*6 month update*Still one of my favorite purchases of the year. No issues with the grinder and to be honest I probably dont clean the grinding portion as much as I should haha. I did have issues with it getting up to pressure, which was fixed by just descaling the machine when it was asking to be descaled.So far im just really impressed still. It makes good coffee to the point that I'd rather just have my coffee at home then out. And I'm not that involved when it comes to brewing either. I'm not measuring input and output. Im not spraying the coffee beans. Im still using the provided portafilter. No screen etc. No fancy beans, just lavazza espresso beans. And still it pulls better shots than what I tend to get at most coffee shops!Is it better than a breville? I can't judge since I've never tried one. But in my opinion, is it half the price of a breville good? Absolutely. Ignore being influenced to get one of the most expensive entry espresso makers on the market and just get this one!*2 month update*So far still great! I've had no issues with the grinder, though I do clean it every time I fully refill it. Still brewing great, I dont think its hard to dial in the beans. I've switched twice now with minimal adjustments to get it to pressure etc. I dont often drink hot coffee but the times I have its been just as good. The frother is loud and does take some practice. Was absoluty worth this over the $600 breville. I hate going out to get coffee bc 9/10 I spend $7 plus on a coffee out and legitimately think, well what a waste my coffee at home would've been better!*original review*So far so good! I was skeptical because of the price, and was having a hard time choosing between getting this or waiting for the Breville Barista Express to go on sale again.I chose the Crema supreme over this years model, the crema deluxe, because I couldnt find very many reviews, and was very skeptical of the price given it had a double boiler. Most double boiler models are around $1600 or more so the deluxe model really just seemed to good to be true, and the supreme was the safer option.I did a lot of research prior to buying in order to understand how to operate a machine of this caliber, as its not as simple as a your run of the mill keurig or nespresso. If you are wanting a push a button, have decent coffee machine, this wont be for you. There is a learning curve and it requires patience and a little wasted coffee.I have never used a semi automatic machine before. Even considering that, it only took me 2 tries to get the machine into espresso pressure range and make a decent shot of espresso. I've had lattes made with the ninja lux and I think the coffee out of this was better and less bitter. Its certainly better when you consider this machine is half the cost.The only gripe I had was I felt that the milk pitcher was comically small, and I probably will replace it eventually. The 58mm portafilter is large and I imagine it may be harder to find aftermarket accessories for it. It is also shorter than the dimensions given in the description. I have about 3 inches of clearance above the hopper under my upper cabinets that are 19inches from the counter.I am hoping with good upkeep and cleaning, which is also an every day maintenance for machines like this, will mean it will last a long time. Im not sure it will rival brevilles average of 3ish plus years but I am hoping! I will probably update at 6 months to a year as i had a hard time finding people who continued to update thier experience.

I like it a lot

This is nothing fancy, but it gets the job done.I would consider this an entry level espresso machine, it is great for people who can't sacrifice a lot of space for an espresso setup and aren't too interested in it as a hobby and just want simplicity.This machine has paid for itself by now, with the many cups of espresso I have created at home instead of spending insane amounts of money on coffee.The top has metal which provides you with a pretty convenient spot to place bits and pieces that are important for espresso making when not in use.It gets to a good temperature, and it produces a nice flavor with the right amount of foam. The frothing wand is also pretty good and straight to the point.A few things to be aware of: The froth setting seems glitchy and suddenly stops, where I have to switch it off and start it again.Remember to clean it, everywhere, including the wand, the slightest bit of buildup inside can mess with it.Buy espresso cleaning tabs and run water through it until it's all gone every once in a while. Read the instructions on how to start the cleaning process for an easier time eith maintenance. You won't regret it.It can vibrate cups to the point it moves away from the nozzle so that you spill espresso into the catch tray. This can be fixed with a thin textured silicone coaster. Don't walk away from it when it runs.If you're mobility impaired or have loss of strength, it can be difficult to place the filter on the maker and locking it in, as it can feel tight.Ver más
