Coffee shop experience at home
on November 29, 2024

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I recommend reading all the directions before getting started. (Getting the portafilter into the holder did take several attempts and getting the filter basket out of the portafilter was also a challenge so I had to use a knife for this) Once the machine was setup with coffee beans and water it’s fairly easy to use. I really like that the portafilter and tamper are heavy, exactly what you’d expect from the images. I drink espresso drinks such as macchiatos, lattes, and shaken espressos twice a day and this produces solid espresso shots. You can customize the grind size between 0-40, there are 3 temperatures you can choose from, and the shot volume can also be adjusted. In minutes I have a high quality espresso drink at home that is coffee shop quality. If you’ve never had an espresso machine there’s a learning curve, so it may take a few times to get it to your liking. The machine is loud when grinding beans, but they have been a consistent grind. I would recommend this espresso machine.

Good but needs tweaks

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The TRU espresso machine delivers solid performance for its price point, but there are a few areas where it could improve. It excels at making a good Americano, with smooth flavor and consistent extraction, but the default grind amount tends to be excessive. This leads to waste and a need for manual adjustments to avoid overfilling the portafilter. Additionally, the tamper is not attached to the machine, which feels like a small but significant oversight—having it integrated would improve convenience and usability.
While the TRU machine is a strong contender in its price range and makes a respectable espresso, it doesn’t quite stack up to my Breville machine in terms of overall quality and functionality. That said, for those on a budget or just starting their espresso journey, the TRU is a good choice that delivers commendable results without breaking the bank.

Freshly brewed AT HOME

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am OBSESSED with this machine. High quality brewing!!! Except the steam wand being noisy (obviously) it wasn’t loud / noisy at all. Excellent grinding consistency. I used the Starbucks beans and it was phenomenal. It would need some work to clean the parts of the machine though. I don’t see a need to clean most part everyday.
Already on my third cup, cheers!!! ☕️

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Oh my goodness how beautiful is this espresso machine!! ABSOLUTELY IN LOVE!! I love coffee so much and making cold brews and espresso shots are my specialty. This machine is so sturdy, heavy and very good quality. I love how it included everything you need and a manual to help if you aren’t familiar on how to use it. It has a grinder to grind those coffee beans and make fresh coffee grounds. I’ve been remodeling my home and this I going to look great in my kitchen!! The color is absolutely stunning and I’ve heard wonderful things about this brand and very excited to see how long it hold up in my coffee drinking house! ***I received this product in exchange for my honest review, THANK YOU INFLUENSTER!!***
