Espresso Machine – 20Bar Coffee Maker with Foaming Steam Wand: 1450W Compact Semi-Automatic Espresso Maker with 35Oz Removable Water Tank for Latte, Cappuccino for Kitchen Home

My family has bought coffee machines from Amazon several times. This is the style and size we have always wanted, and the coffee it makes is really fragrant and strong. After having this coffee machine at home, the living room is filled with the delicious smell of coffee. What’s more, the process of making coffee is very simple. You don’t have to buy such expensive coffee outside anymore. You can easily make delicious coffee at home.

The machine did not work. It kept making a loud knocking noise. I’m disappointed.

I’ve always wanted to make my own espresso and lattes at home, but knew nothing about espresso machines. I got this one as my intro into making coffee and I think it works pretty good. It’s a 51 mm basket, and came with its own plastic syringe and tamper/scoop. I did upgrade my tools by getting my own tamper, but the plastic one worked fine for the time being. I shot one shot of water to start off, and then I shot two shots of espresso into my espresso glass. It came out pretty watery, but I expected it because of the pressurized basket. I prepped my coffee mug with syrup, then poured the espresso in, and finished up with the steamed milk. It made the perfect caramel latte.

to get into specifics, I used pre-ground coffee, and loaded it into the two shot basket. I used my temper to get the grounds, nice and smooth in the basket. I then twisted on my filter, and poured the espresso. It’s super easy to turn on the machine and has a three button system on what to control. It was a little hard to figure out how to steam the milk, but you turn the dial towards coffee or milk and then press whatever shot you are making.

after I made my latte, the cleanup process was pretty easy. I wiped down the bottom filter, and emptied out the grinds that had fallen underneath. And then I was able to just use a damp cloth to wipe the bottom of the filter where the coffee comes out. I rinsed out the basket and it was so pretty self-explanatory. The machine does come with two cleaning packets that uses citric acid to clean the machine, which I will probably do in the future. Overall, I think it’s a great machine for a beginner, who just wants some morning coffee or even some fancy drinks. It’s not needed to upgrade your tools to make the perfect shot of espresso, but I think it definitely helped.

Worked once, it now only express water from the frother and won’t make espresso

This is a great entry level espresso maker, steamer, and frother. It looks attractive, with stainless steel as the exterior and a removable water tank. The instruction manual makes sense but could use a second proofread. The cleaning pin, the descaling solution, and the removable espresso ground trays are all very nice touches. This heats up quite quickly, has no problem pumping out hot water, and has sticky suction cup feet that keep it in place. Overall, at this price point, I am impressed. If I had to complain, it would be about the extra QR marketing sticker that leaves residue. It’s a small gripe for this price point.

Terrible the handle broke and I asked to buy a replacement and they told me the only way I can get one is buying a whole new machine. Waste of money. Don’t recommend
