very good, works as described. easy to use, makes good espresso

You cannot get a better looking basic, manual espresso machine for this price. Guaranteed.
I brewed my first cup of espresso minutes after I received it. The instructions are a bit of a hit-or-miss, but the machine itself is pretty good. it makes a decent cup of espresso and produces hot enough steam for a decent cappuccino.
Ensure that you wash the tank, the portafilter and the funnel with soapy water to rid it of the plasticy-rubbery smell of first-time use. Flush 2-3 cups from the machine...

I was not expecting this grinder to work for espresso shot .i ordered just to try.but i was amazed by the result.it gave me great ESPRESSO shots and that too consistent. Best part is timer.it grinds 15 .5 grans of beans in 19 seconds.so i have to set the timer and after grinding it turns off.
But everytime you have to set the timer.that i didnt like

Nice product.

Very good coffee machine for Espresso and Cappuccino. You will get proper 15 bar pressure.

This espresso machine is a blessing for caffeine addicts. Provides beautifully thick crema with 15 bars of pressure. The steam wand makes very good micro foam milk but it could have been a bit longer. Overall, a very satisfactory purchase.

It's perfect for espresso lover

I purchased this product few months ago and it works good, but not up to the standards of the brochure.
Brewing of coffee decoction is quite difficult. It was not up to the standards of 15 shots. The temperature meter is not showing its maxing capacity, even the machine kept in power for long time.
However, the taste of the coffee was good and frothing the milk was also good.
After 6 months, I the Machine was get under repair. The water comes from both frothing nozzle as well as from brew...

Took time to understand the process. Manual is inadequate, not easy to understand or lucid. This is something the company needs to do. You will have to test and trials before you get the good results. For light coffee use less coffee in as porta filter or more coffee for strong coffee. for frothing take cold milk.

Looks are good but bar pressure comes down in one short and doesn't look like it is a 15 bar machine when it brews. The steam nosel is very short and loose too. It comes out now and then. There is space for only a small cup of 150 ml.
