The quality of the espresso is great and grinding is simple cleaning it is pretty easy. Just follow the directions. If you like espresso you will definitely like this machine. It’s definitely worth the money to purchase this espresso maker.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Great machine, works everytime!
Still can't quite get our pressure for an espresso to work, but I am sure that is user error.
I would recommend this to a friend!

10/10, would recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a pretty nice machine, I have to say. I have only used one other off brand machine before and for the most part it’s similar but there are some key improvements on this one. First of all, it doesn’t seem to take as long to heat up the steam arm. It comes with some nice accessories to make your drinks, like a milk steam cup and different sizes of the portafilter. It’s pretty heavy and feels like a solidly built machine. The grinder works great and the espresso comes out great, and the steamer works perfectly well. It also dispenses plain hot water from a separate spout in case you want some tea or something. Oh and there’s a nice little storage compartment hidden in the bottom for some of the accessories. That’s pretty neat.
Plus it was pretty easy to set up, I had some issues because I didn’t read the instructions, lol. But quick tip for y’all who are like me and don’t want to read the instructions, it is super basic to set up and mostly self explanatory but there’s a little red rubber thing in the water tank that needs removed before you start brewing.

A staple in my morning routine.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this product for free from Influenster andI have been extremely impressed with its performance. The machine is easy to use and produces consistently delicious espresso with a rich crema. The built-in burr grinder ensures that each shot of espresso is freshly ground for maximum flavor. The machine also has a variety of customizable settings, allowing me to adjust the grind size, brew strength, and temperature to my personal preference. The steam wand is powerful and produces velvety smooth milk foam for lattes and cappuccinos. Overall, I highly recommend the Semi Automatic Espresso Machine with Burr Grinder to any coffee lover looking for a high-quality, reliable espresso machine. It has exceeded my expectations and has become a staple in my morning routine.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] What a super nice espresso machine! It is such a high quality one. It features a gauge on the front that is helpful with telling you if the pressure is good when it is pouring. The water tank in the back is a nice size. It looks great on my counter, the milk frother works great, I really do love this machine!

Great machine!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] What a great product to get to try out and review! It came nicely boxed, when putting it together (the water filter needed to be added) we found the added accessories in the drawer below the machine. I’m impressed with how solid this machine is. Love how easy it is to use once we figure out how to use it. We would have loved a bit more instructions or a tutorial but we in the end figured it out. I’m no barista but my first Americano turned out pretty good. It definitely will take trial and error. We would have like a bit of clarity on grind size, which filter basket is best for what, the temp settings, etc. but overall I’d definitely recommend.

So easy to use

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am simply obsessed with this espresso maker. I’ve always wanted to have one at home, but never knew that I could do this this easily. From the set up to the full execution of the espresso, everything was so easy the instructions were great and I am happy to say I am now a proud, espresso machine, owner and operator.
