CASABREWS 3700 Essential Espresso Machine 20 Bar, Compact Coffee Maker with Steam Frother for Cappuccino, Latte, 43.9oz Water Tank, Pastel Green

Great beginner espresso machine! Warms up quickly. Strong steam wand, but I recommend using a thermometer when steaming milk as the “hot to touch” doesn’t seem to heat the milk enough. If you are wanting 18-20g+ capacity shots, you will have to try to find a portafilter to accommodate, as the 51mm that comes stock only has about 12-14g capacity for the double shot. The cup warmer at the top is kind of useless, you’d have to keep a cup on it for a while for it to make any difference. Overall very happy with this purchase.

Nice looking machine, and ran well for the first two months with consistent shots pulled, however this week it began to glitch with the double shot no longer auto stopping - it will keep pulling a shot until turned off manually. Reached customer service and they were able to walk my through the volume reset. The only other complaint I might have it that the water does have a sight plastic smell when just pulling water which is a bit concerning from a microplastics perspective, but hasn't seemed to impact the flavor of the shots pulled. I don't use the steam wand so can't speak to that. I will also note that customer service was really quick on the phone, and then I received an email later offering a refund if I didn’t feel the issue was solved (which it had been), hard to beat that service!

Best purchase I’ve made, use it multiple times a day and way cheaper than anything you can find in stores. Definitely better than a nespresso!

Does not work as well if I though it would, any time of coffee I use it’s still not strong enough.

Love this little powerhouse of an espresso maker! We're on vacation and I wasn't happy with the coffee maker provided. The sapphire blue one is gorgeous, arrived the next day and puts out a great espresso and froths the milk for you as well. For the price, it delivers everything you need.
