My favorite thing in my house!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This espresso machine is the main character in my kitchen now! From the built in grinder that you can customize for single or double shots, or the cold brew setting where you can get your shot of espresso COLD, this machine does the most and does it WELL. It’s sleek, easy to use, and makes the most delicious coffee house style coffees without me having to leave my house. The crema is perfection, the steam wand is powerful for frothing, and the aroma when it’s brewing fills my house with pure joy! If you’re an espresso lover who’s serious about their morning (or mid afternoon) coffee, this machine is it. A total upgrade!
I would recommend this to a friend!

Turns my home into a cafe!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a great semi automatic espresso machine for people who enjoy making espresso-based drinks at home.
The size of the coffee machine is bigger than your usual drip coffee or k-cup machines but it's for good reason. It comes with built in grinder with 16 grinding levels, esspresoo extraction area with stainless steel bottomless portafilter, and a frothing wand for steaming milk or hot water.
This is my first time trying an espresso machine with bottomless portafilter so it took a bit to get used to, but the results have been pretty impressive so far. The espresso shots are consistently well extracted. And the steam from the frothing wand is strong and heats up the milk quickly and evenly.
One of my favorite features would be the front loaded water reservoir, I love that I can just refill water from the top instead of taking the whole reservoir out. The machine also comes with all the tools you would need, I find the dosing guide and the tamping puck particularly useful.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Great Espresso Bar, BUT...

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Cuisinart Espresso machine is good, but not perfect. Let's start with the positives: delivers a consistent great grind for espresso from the whole bean holder, large water reservoir for multiple brews, solid construction with high-quality materials, and produces excellent foam and steamed water from the frother. However, there are a few drawbacks: frother tends to splash a lot, and the machine has a sizable footprint, taking up more space than many new competitors
Pros: Great espresso grind

Delicious Espresso at home!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is another absolute hit by Cuisinart. This espresso bar and machine is not only easy to use, it makes just about any drink you can imagine. The instruction manual actually has delicious recipes to try, heads up. I love how easy it is to use and there really is nothing better than fresh grind coffee. I personally made myself an iced beverage and my husband made himself a cappuccino. Both were delicious and so much cheaper than going to a coffee shop. I highly recommend this to anyone who is looking for an espresso machine, this is an all in one and it is fairly compact. Another win by Cuisinart!

We decided to upgrade from Gevi to this. The coffee foam is lacking and the milk frother is inconsistent.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
