We love this thing

Posted by: Amarella5

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We've made only 4 drinks with it so far but I already love it. It isn't super wide so it doesn't take up much counter space like our old one, so the kitchen looks less cluttered, which makes me happy. It heats up fast- probably only wait 15 seconds before the machines are ready to go after turning it on. I like that there are two ways to add water. I prefer to add water from the top, while my husband prefers taking the tank out and adding it that way. The milk frother makes good, full bodied foam like a coffee shop which adds a lot to my favorite drink- cappuccino. And it's got stainless detailing, which matches my other appliances. Overall, it's a win.
I would recommend this to a friend!

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.

Make Delicious Coffee at Home
on March 20, 2025

[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!

Maybe mine was a dud
on March 28, 2025

[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.

Verified Purchase:Yes
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.

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.
