Amazingly great! Great Espresso maker.
on October 2, 2025
Posted by: Cynwood
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I had it now for a month. 20 bar pressure. Makes great espresso. I use the 2 unit pod. I run it 2 times to extract more coffee. It is quickly ready and my espresso is hotter than a coffee shop espresso.
Response from frigidaire.comBy Patrick, Online Outreach Specialist, October 6, 2025
That sounds fantastic! It’s awesome that your espresso maker is delivering such great results — especially with that strong pressure and hot espresso you’re getting. Running the pod twice to get more flavor is a smart move, and I love that it heats up quickly for you. If you ever want tips on brewing or trying out different pod types, please join us via Live Chat at www.frigidaire.com or call our Customer Care Team at 1-800-374-4432. Monday through Friday, 8:30 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. EST, and we will be happy to assist in any way we can. - Patrick

Good learning curve for espresso machine
on March 17, 2025
Posted by: Pressman04
from Woodhaven
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My wife showed me how to use this espresso machine. I found that it was easy for the most part. It's a big learning curve for someone who only knows how to brew a full pot of coffee. Filling and tamping down the fresh ground coffee beans in the filter pucks takes practice. Once I got the hang of it I was able to make an espresso. The hot water and steamer part was also a bit tricky but I did manage to figure it out. Since this is the first time I've used an espresso machine I don't know much about the intricate workings about the pressure it takes to push the water through the filters. For me it seemed to work good. When it comes to the different sized shots, I just used the larger filter one because I wanted a more full sized cup of espresso so I could add my steamed and lightly frothed flavored creamer to it.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Espresso made simple

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We've always wanted to have an espresso machine and this one was definitely the right choice. The controls are incredibly simple and take all the guesswork out of making the perfect drink. Now we have friends and neighbors coming by almost daily for lattes, affagatos, espresso martinis and more. Plus cleanup is always a breeze

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This looks so sleek, slim, and modern on our kitchen counter. I really enjoy being able to craft coffee beverages at home. Saves me money and allows me to customize my drinks to my preference. Easy set up and instructions are helpful. Can do double or single shots! The mug warmer on top is a great feature. Clean up is a breeze

A Decent but Flawed Espresso Maker
on March 5, 2025
Posted by: Oumyusuf
from Houston
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I recently purchased the Frigidaire FREM100SS Steam Espresso Maker and have been using it for a while now. Initially, I was impressed with its sleek and compact design, which is a significant improvement over my previous espresso maker in terms of saving counter space. However, after using it for a bit, I have some mixed feelings about its performance.
One of the major drawbacks I've noticed is that the espresso pour is quite small, almost half a shot, which requires me to run it twice to get my desired amount. Additionally, the frother doesn't seem to froth as well as I had hoped, instead, it mostly just heats the milk. In terms of the overall quality of the espresso, I have to say that it doesn't quite live up to my expectations. The flavor and crema just aren't as rich and velvety as I've experienced with other machines.
Considering the price point, I think there's room for improvement in terms of the quality of the output. That being said, I didn't expect a cafe-style espresso machine from Frigidaire, given their focus on accessibility and wide availability. Overall, it's an okay machine, but if you're looking for a high-end espresso experience, you might want to look elsewhere. For those on a budget or with limited counter space, it might be worth considering, but be aware of its limitations.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Amazing and compact!

from South River
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I had a completely different espresso maker, one that used pods. Every time I drank them, it didn’t taste fresh to me. Using this espresso maker, I feel like a barista and I’m able to control the amount of espresso shots as well as steamed milk. The steam wand is amazing and works great, one little detail I don’t like is how the wand doesn’t have a loose-ness to it. Will take a little before getting used to it. The water tank isn’t big, which isn’t a deal breaker since it does help the machine stay compact for any household with limited counter space. The ease of loading the espresso grounds to brew is super easy and effortless. I can’t wait to use this machine when it comes to family parties, they love their espresso!

Game changer!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve been using the Frigidaire Steam Espresso Maker for a while now, and I’m impressed with its performance and convenience. One of the standout features is the 20-bar pressure system, which delivers rich and flavorful espresso shots every time. The quick 40-second heat-up time is perfect for my busy mornings, allowing me to get my caffeine fix without waiting too long.
I also love the built-in milk frother, which creates a creamy, velvety foam for cappuccinos and lattes, making it easy to enjoy café-quality drinks at home. The customizable shot options are another great addition—I can switch between a single or double shot depending on my preference. Plus, the mug warmer is a thoughtful touch, ensuring my espresso stays hot while I prepare my drink.
The machine is well-designed and compact, fitting nicely in my kitchen without taking up too much counter space. The 34oz removable water tank makes refilling and cleaning simple, and the included tamper and scoop make it easy to measure and prepare the perfect shot. I’ve found it easy to use, even as a beginner, and it has definitely elevated my at-home coffee experience.
Overall, I highly recommend this espresso maker to anyone looking for an affordable and efficient way to make barista-quality drinks at home. It combines convenience, quality, and thoughtful design to make every cup enjoyable. If you’re looking for a reliable espresso machine with great features, this one is a fantastic choice!

Small and compact

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was given this product to try for free thanks to The Insiders.
The Frigidaire steam espresso machine is awesome! I love the fact that it is very compact and produces a very good cup of espresso. I like the fact that it has a large water reservoir and it also has an easy to use frother. I like the fact that it comes with two different shot sizes a single and a double, and also that it comes with a scoop and a press. It did take me a lot of tries to make a perfect cup of espresso, but after that making the coffee is super easy and simple. I like the fact that it is a digital touchscreen, but worry about it holding up overtime. Everything about this machine seems to be built very durably. Something I will say is that when I am using the frothing I have to first start with a separate cup just to make sure that it is actually steam and not just a stream of water. It is very simple to use very simple to set up and I love the fact that it takes up a little to no space on the counter. I will say that I do not like the heating element on top because I worry that myself or other family members might end up burning themselves on that. I think it’s a good idea but it’s just not for me. The machine is very easy to use. You first press the power button and then select which mode do you want. You can choose between single,double, and steam. Once you’ve selected an option, the cups will start blinking until it comes to the right temperature. After that, the machine will make a beeping sound to let you know when it is ready and then you just either select the cup again or it will automatically do it. When selecting the right type of grounds for this machine I have found that getting the finest espresso works the best. And also filling up the cup to the max to get a strong espresso. Overall, I would definitely recommend giving this machine a try because I do believe the pros outweigh the cons and this machine is the perfect home appliance for those who are looking to save money by making lattes and cappuccinos at home and also those who are looking to step up their coffee game. This might be a small machine it’s small, but mighty!
