I was disappointed to see this product is made mostly of plastic. The Amazon Material Specs say the material is "brushed steel" and the Casabrew prouct Specifications ominously omit the Materials section. I should have been skeptical of that. Casabrews noted that all materials that come into contact with the coffee are stainless steel, it's just everything else that's plastic. After purchasing the product I was offered money to post a video showing how much I loved it. Clearly Casabrews gets 5 stars for their branding, and I have no doubt many of the reviewers truly do love their machine. But if you're a purist like me who is trying to remove plastic from your kitchen and are disillusioned with partial information on product Specifications, I hope this information is helpful to you.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

We truly appreciate your feedback and understand your concerns. While all parts that come into contact with coffee are made from stainless steel for safety, some external components are indeed durable, BPA-free plastic. Please feel free to reach out to us at info@casabrews.com if you’d like more details — we’d be happy to share more information.
This machine is the perfect size and makes yummy coffee! Perfect. I gave it a 4 star, because the steamer isn't awesome. It works to warm up the milk and make some froth, but that's my only complaint.
Wonderful espresso and for a fraction of the cost of most. The only drawback is waiting for machine to cool down after steaming milk. So if it’s just espresso you’re after, this is the machine to get.
