[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Cuisinart has always produced high quality products and this espresso machine is no exception! This is well made and the slim design makes it very easy to utilize space on our coffee bar. This model is easier to use than any other model we've ever tried! The frother works great and all accessories needed are included with this model. I highly recommend to any coffee enthusiast.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Great, unique little espresso machine

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this product in exchange for my honest review.
This Cuisinart espresso machine is a nice mix between slim convenience and quality.
The porta filter is lightweight and the tamper is just the bottom of the scoop, so I would recommend upgrading both of those.
The machine is programmable for the amount of time for extraction for your single or double shots. To this end it would be ideal to weigh your beans to ensure a consistent extraction.
Still, even the first shot I pulled turned out fairly well which speaks positively to the machine.
The most interesting function was the Cold option that forces room temperature water through the filter to make a strong coffee, instead of espresso. It is slow (so plan accordingly) but had good flavor. Definitely a nice option.
The milk jug it comes with is nice and the steam worked well to get the milk to a good consistency.
Overall, if you're looking for a cheaper lower profile machine, this should meet your needs.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This Cuisinart slim espresso maker is honestly amazing! It was so easy to use and made a perfect drink so quickly. I loved the different size shot capabilities, and the milk frother was so quick! I ended up making an iced Americano, so two shots of espresso with some water and then a splash of cream and it was delicious!

Espresso Bar

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve been using the Cuisinart Espresso Bar for a while now, and overall, I’d say it’s an excellent option for anyone who wants a simple, no-fuss espresso machine with automated features. It’s not a high-end barista-level machine, but it does a pretty solid job for everyday coffee lovers like me.
What I Love:
Super Easy to Use – The touch-button controls make it incredibly convenient. I can get a single or double espresso, cappuccino, or latte with just a button—no need to mess with complicated settings.
Decent Espresso Quality – The 15-bar pressure system ensures a good crema, and my espressos taste smooth and rich. It’s not quite café-quality, but for a home machine, I’m pretty satisfied.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have been loving this espresso machine! It is the perfect size for my kitchen, looks beautiful and doesn't take up too much space. It is also made of high-quality and durable material. I love that is straightforward and easy to use, especially with all of the accessories included like the scoop/tamper tool and the espresso filters. This machine has helped me make delicious hot drinks like espressos and cappuccinos as well as even cold drinks with ease. The instruction and recipe booklet is very helpful with clear steps on how to use the machine and make different drinks. Overall, this is one of the best espresso machines I have used! Highly recommend!
