Super Amazing Machine + So Happy with this purchas

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Hands down the best machine - better than De’Longhi !! Value for Money and I want to upgrade this to next level which has a grinder with it. Highly recommend this machine, if you are coffee fanatic and understand the art of coffee making and crave for your own barista style coffee, where you can control the ingredients.
I would recommend this to a friend!

It seems well made and is easy to use and heats up very fast. The coffee tastes good but no crema. I wish it had a manual mode so I could make the size espresso I want and not be limited by the 2 preprogrammed options.

The water reservoir constantly leaks into the drip tray and I always have to empty it after each use which is very annoying
Response from cuisinart.comBy Cuisinart, December 23, 2025
Thank you for your feedback. We understand that having to empty the drip tray can be inconvenient, but a small amount of water collecting there is normal during use, as it helps prevent overflow and keeps your countertop safe. We appreciate you taking the time to share your experience and hope this helps clarify how the machine operates.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This machine has been impressing me by the day. The only two issues I have, sometimes the coffee is squirting out from the top and I can’t still not figure out the frothing side. I will eventually master the frothing, but concerned on why is the coffee is leaking from the top of the espresso insert. The coffee taste has been amazing. The one and two shots are sized to perfection. As a beginners machine, I would highly recommend it.

Maybe mine was a dud

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I really wanted to love the Cuisinart Espresso Bar Espresso Machine, but unfortunately, my experience was disappointing. Maybe I got a dud, but despite my best efforts, the machine simply did not work properly.
I was able to get it started, and it did heat up, but none of the buttons responded. You could hear it trying to warm up to push hot water through, but nothing actually happened. The one function that did work was the frother, but that’s not enough to make this a functional espresso machine.
For context, I’ve used several espresso machines before, from the Jura superautomatic to the Breville semiautomatic, so I’m confident that user error wasn’t the issue. This was just a faulty machine.
If I had a working unit, maybe I’d have a different opinion, but based on my experience, I can’t recommend this machine.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Make Delicious Coffee at Home

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Cuisinart's Espresso Bar Espresso Machine is a wonderful addition to the kitchen. We drink coffee in the morning and throughout the day. I enjoy lattes and my husband favors straight espresso (quads) - both easy to make. This machine is simple to use, and more importantly, easy to clean. I found the machine's volume reasonable. I have a silicone mat between the counter and the machine. I love the cup warmer feature on top. I received this product compliments of Home Tester Club in exchange for my honest review. I have not had an expresso bar like this before; I've been using a machine with small capsules. This espresso machine from Cuisinart feels well made and solid. I expect it will last and work well for many years. I am looking forward to trying some of the recipes in the user's manual. They sound delicious!

Best espresso machine!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is the best espresso machine. It’s so easy to use and looks so stylish in my kitchen. Love that it’s so compact but still powerful. It has a cold extraction process that makes cold drinks as well, no time to wait. Also a frothing wand. Saving you time and money being able to make the coffee beverage of your dreams in the comfort of your own home. So many options and drink possibilities.
