I bought this machine brand new for about 250$ back in 2022 and ive been using it everyday since then (2.5 years). I have a few opinions on this machine but firstly i think this machine is an absolute great machine for the price for a beginner latte. If its more than 250$ I think its not the best in the market and would save up for a machine that more expensive and better. 5 Stars for the price.
-This machine wont produce a worlds best latte but be honest with yourself, do you need that? it will give you a great daily cup of coffee that 99.9 percent of the world will love.
- A few notes on this is that the machine has to be cleaned (fully descaled with vinegar and everything) twice a year which really keeps it clean and proper to use.
- The machine is easy to use and the steam wand works very well as well.
- I think that the accessories it comes with aren't the best on the market but you absolutely do not NEED to buy better ones. What it comes with is more than enough to make a great cup of joe.
- I say that its worth it to buy a decently priced grinder specifically for espresso because that will make coffee better for both this machine and any other espresso machine you may buy.
- I think that this machine is well worth the price. If it was just 50-100$ more i dont think this is the best machine out there but for 200-250$ its great.

Pros and cons of a decent affordable espresso machine- for now: recommended
Background: I bought this during cyber Monday and the price can’t be beat. (Less than half price.) I was concerned after reading the reviews so this is a “to be continued” review. I’m still waiting to see how it plays out. So here goes with what I’ve tried, taking into account what others said. Here, you’ll read how I agree or disagree with their critiques. The concerns were mainly 2 things, the tight fitting coffee basket (where you load the espresso grounds) and the durability of the machine itself. Another concern was that the machine might have been refurbished as a sale item. I’m not sure if it was, but it definitely did not come in a commercially labeled box. Still, all the parts were professionally wrapped upon opening and all parts were clean.Pros:-Priming the machine was pretty easy, just run it through a couple of times before showtime. Being unfamiliar with the machine, I did have to take a moment to read the instructions so I wouldn’t mess up.-The instructions were pretty easy to follow and I was probably making my first espresso(s) within 30 minutes max of setup.-the crema is incredible. This is the first professional-ish espresso maker I’ve had, so I still don’t completely know how it works. (The container that you pack the espresso in doesn’t have any openings for water to flow through as I thought it should.)-storage space is located underneath the drip guard. Pretty cool. Even fits some measuring spoons I held onto.-the water storage located in the back is external and can be removed to fill. Holds plenty of water for future uses.Cons:-the tins (dual wall filter baskets) that hold the espresso are not easy to remove from the handle tool. But they aren’t impossible, either. Once you’ve banged out the used coffee grounds and rinsed the 2 pieces clean, you can flip the handle tool upside down and look at the lip of the basket. That will help you push it from the handle. The fit is VERY snug.- the handle part that holds the coffee basket fits very snug in the main machine. That means you’ll probably have to hold down on the main machine as you twist the handle into place. Not a lot, but some gentle pressure.-no measuring spoon included, although it’s not a dealbreaker- I had a few laying around. See pics.-the tamper is solid and works fine, plastic, but not the flimsy-looking kind. Still, I’m thinking about getting a metal one. Just to be fancy.-no glasses included. The ones in the pic were purchased separately. I reviewed those,too.Features yet to be reviewed:-steam wand: other reviews say it’s not so great, but I’ll try that on the weekend using oat milk.-heating pad: the top of the machine has a warming pad. I haven’t figured out how to use it, but it’s supposed to be good for warming your cup beforehand.-test of time: some reviews said the machine didn’t last long, although if you’re still reading this, you’ve seen most reviews are great. I’ll revisit in May and edit this line.For now, this is the least expensive of the expensive espresso makers, works well, I’d recommend
