I bought this 3 months ago, and I’m not to happy the pressure gauge doesn’t work right

Love it! It all works super well and looks great to boot. My only complaint, and it could be a user error, is I cannot figure out the steamer wand for the vegan milk for foam
I would recommend this to a friend!

Exceptional machine
on January 12, 2026

I am in love with this machine! Once you figure out the proper grinding setting, temperature and which cup to use for a perfect cup, it makes the best coffee! Instructions are a bit vague, they could be little more detailed for the ones like me that went from a traditional drip coffee makers to this state of the art.
I would recommend this to a friend!

After a month of nearly daily use, we're still in love with this thing. Easy to use, zero issues. Couldn't be happier! 10/10 would definitely recommend.

Quiet Grinder Shines, Steam Wand Issue Disappoints
on January 21, 2026
Posted by: Patagonia
I really enjoy this espresso machine. The grinder is impressively quiet—easily the quietest I’ve ever used—and that feature alone is worth five stars.
That said, I did start noticing a small but constant drip from the steam wand within the first two months. It only happens when the pump is running, but it’s persistent enough to be concerning.
I reached out to the small appliance support line and was placed on a 1.5‑hour hold. I opted for a callback, but unfortunately never received one. I still need to get in touch with support to resolve the issue.
