A nice home machine to start with
on August 26, 2026
Posted by: CJ

After working in a cafe for the summer, trained as a barista, I had to buy an espresso maker for home. This looked like the perfect introductory maker. Worked right out of the box, for sure. I bought a grinder and began working on my dose and yield. Dialing in the timing for extraction is the most difficult part, as you can’t adjust a knob or set a time, you have to manually time the extraction - whether single or double - and set it yourself. So getting back to a previous setting and fine tuning is near impossible. You’ll go through a lot of coffee in this process. I got great creama from the original spouted portafilter, but inconsistent yields. Switching to a bottomless portafilter, I find my grind and pulls definitely have flaws - so starting all over again! The steamer works well, but requires cooling off before pulling another shot. All in all, a nice home machine to get started with.

Don’t be fooled by price: this is a great machine

Perfect little espresso machine. If you’re looking for a great coffee without all the bells and whistles (or learning curve), this machine does the trick. Ordering a tamper now since the plastic one that came with is the only disappointment.

The gauge makes dialing in easier

The pressure gauge is actually more useful than I expected. I can see when my grind is too fine or too coarse, so dialing in beans feels way less like guessing.

Decent starter machine for the price

Decent enough machine, though the temperature - even after preheating - can sometimes be a little cooler than expected.
Pretty consistent, now I've dialled in my grind settings for it, as though there is a pressure dial on the machine, it is not adjustable - and broke after around 6 months of consistent use, so have no idea what the pressures are any more!

Machine still works with no issues otherwise.
Steam wand pretty good, though you get a lot of warm water out before you can use it for steam.

I couldn’t be happier. The CM5418 very easy to use. It is easy to clean. It makes a wonderful cup of espresso. I have wanted an espresso maker for a very long time, and this was a really reasonable price and a high-quality product. I’m very very happy with it.
