Laekerrt 20 Bar Espresso Maker CMEP01 with Milk Frother Steamer, Home Expresso Coffee Machine for Cappuccino and Latte (Navy Blue, Stainless Steel) Gift for Coffee Lovers, Father

NGL bought this solely for aesthetic reasons because I wanted a more visually pleasing espresso maker to go with my Talavera mugs. I’m not an espresso expert but I am a coffee enthusiast and drink daily. I’m enough of a coffee snob to know that any “pod” espresso maker is never a match for freshly ground and brewed but unfortunately I can’t afford these $600-1000 barista espresso machines so I decided to look for something that would meet both my needs halfway at least. I was more than pleasantly surprised by this purchase. The machine is cute and the espresso quality is legit. I’ve had it for a few months now and I have stopped spending money at coffee houses entirely! I much prefer making my own to my taste, at home! I make perfect iced lattes in the comfort of my own home now. I got some quality flavored syrups and and sauces, super extra crema Lavazza beans, plus some glass coffee tumblers and the experience gives me all of the dopamine! I was worried to order because y’know it’s Amazon so it’s hit or miss. Luckily, so far it’s been a hit. It’s not as noisy as some say. I mean it’s a a machine so it makes noise when it pulls the espresso and steams milk but I don’t plan on operating it in the middle of the night or around sleeping babies so the noise isn’t an issue for me. Hopefully it doesn’t stop working after a few months the like everything else you buy on Amazon. But if lasts me at least 2 years, it was worth it! The only real con is the milk steamer. It’s not the best by any means but I have a separate milk frother so it’s fine. I also prefer shots over ice so I don’t need to use it as much. When it does work, it works ok. Mainly it waters down the milk so much which I’m not a fan of and it squirts everywhere which can be dangerous!

It took a bit of time to learn how to use it (this is my first espresso machine) but it was pretty easy! The thing that I had to learn, and it's not in the instructions, is stop pressing the buttons over and over......... lololol...... ok, hear me out! When you turn it on all the lights are going to flash for what feels like freaking FOREVER. Just stop and wait!!!!! It's not broken, it's just not instantly ready. Lol... it actually heats up or something. So I suggest that you should turn it on and then start packing the coffee. Once it stops blinking, THEN press the 1 or 2 cups options. Also the milk frother...... idk.... there is a knob on the side of the machine that either sprays steam to froth the milk, or it sprays boiling water. All I know, is when I try to froth, it scorched the milk on the metal, and I can't get it off..... I think the boiling water spray is to clean out the frother, but..... yeah..... and yes I watched way too many YouTube videos and i ended up learning things I never wanted to learn 😆 🤣 😂 but not learning a thing that could help me understand my new gadget. Lastly do yourself a favor and get yourself a knock box. The edge of the trash can doesn't really work and whacking it on the countertop or sink will wake the dead.... if the developer/ manufacturer is reading this please make a tool kit that would match the pink of my machine! I need a small pink silicone mat, to work on to catch the grounds and drips during my brewing. My pink strawberry mat that is mouse pad material is getting stained. I also need a pink knock box, and a strainer that keeps the grounds down in the cup, not up in my water dispenser thingy. I also need a pink frother pot, and, a pink cup with spout that the brew goes into. Pouring the fresh brew from a tiny cup (because normal mugs do not fit underneath) and if you do have a mug that fits, transferring that liquid to your Stanley to make an iced caramel pumpkin macchiato makes a whole another mess. Since we don't have such a curated tool set, I'm left searching for items one by one. Overall I'm in love with my very pink coffee bar, and my pink espresso machine. It's not as instant as a keureg, but dang I havn't stopped at a coffee shop in almost 2 months which means it's already paid for herself!

I bought this a few years ago, it’s been used every day and still makes great shots of espresso. By far better quality than other economically priced espresso machines I’ve tried. Shots pull rich and flavorful with a foamy layer on top, the milk steamer is very easy to use. Easy to clean and I’m overall impressed with its quality and how well it’s held up. Also looks very cute! Highly recommend.

This is a review of the Laekerrt 20 Bar Espresso Maker. Overall it is a good machine for the casual coffee drinker such as myself. It lacks some of the niceties of higher-end machines, but I don't miss those too often. Good things: Price is very good. Construction quality of the device is great. It doesn't feel "plasticky" and cheap. Heats up quickly for both espresso and steam function. In under a minute I can make two shots of espresso, and in under two minutes can froth enough milk to make lattes or cappucinos. It's a timed function which may or may not be desirable for others, but works great for me. Press the button (either one or two cups) and it starts up and stops automatically. The steam frother also works quickly though was a bit confusing to get right at first. This is mostly my own fault but the instructions weren't exactly clear. Not so great things: It can do two cups at a time, but there's a small delay as the machine recharges steam. This is about 30s to a minute. So once you pull the shots, it takes a minute before it's ready to froth the milk. No water level warning. The reservoir is pretty small and in the back of the unit so not always obvious if you're running low on water. Instructions are printed on the machine itself, but not actually correct. For example, on the steam function the knob has to be turned to the circle until the steam is recharged. If it's on the steam function, it will just shoot out squirts of hot water until the pressure is enough to force steam out. The instructions don't mention this. There are also instructions on the front of the unit that is pretty well obscured by the filter unit. These instructions talk about "First Use" or if the machine hasn't been used in a long time, but not sure what the difference is between these use cases and normal use. Removing the filter canisters is cumbersome. This may apply if you need to switch different grinds that require different filters. For the most part, I'm using only the 2oz canister. In summary, I am satisfied with the machine. Good price and works for my needs, but it does lack higher-end and convenience features that I've seen before.

We unpacked the machine and went through the steps for First Use Preparation. The first thing we noticed was the hot water seemed to come out more as steam vapor than a stream of hot water (it would take forever to fill a cup.) We explored more, tried the steam function. It initially put out some steam, which quickly turned to a vapor so fine it was barely perceivable. Finally we tried the brewing buttons (without coffee in the one cup filter). For both buttons, barely any water came through the funnel (portafilter), but it certainly flowed out of the base of the machine: our counter-top was flooded. We tried all these functions several times with the same results. We assumed this was abnormal and concluded we had a defective machine. We are returning it for a replacement, hopefully with better results. We are replacing a 7 year old Breville, so we have some conception on how a good machine should operate. As a note, there was some moisture in the water tank when we first unpacked it--not sure if that has any bearing. The replacement exchange through Amazon was quick and easy, our replacement machine coming later today. Here's hoping I can write a better review for the next machine.

We purchased the Navy Blue model back in 2021. We use this machine every day, every morning and sometimes through the day as well. We love the coffee it makes! The steamer is strong and can quickly steam milk. We use it so much we have had to replace the espresso handle a few times from me banging it too hard on the trash can. I still give this product a 5 star review, one star for every year this machine has served our family without issue. One piece of advice - pay attention to the water tank and don’t run the machine without water in it. It doesn’t seem to like that very much. Fantastic buy - there is a lot of junk out there but this product is a very solid buy. I paid $299 for mine - I can’t believe it’s only $199 now! No pods - no wondering what is in your pod - spend the extra $100 you save on a descent burr grinder and go get a bag of your favorite coffee! You’re set!

So far so good. We ordered this for our pink vacation pad and lived it so much we bought one for our other home as well. We had a delonghi espresso machine that was pretty pricey. It has broken after only a few years of moderate use. We decided to go with this cute pink one instead and the ease of using this machine is worth it. We saved some money and still enjoy great coffee. I would recommend this machine.

Last year, I bought the Jassy for my coffee loving family and that was a mistake. The Jassy was poor quality (lasted less than a year) and no customer service....read the reviews of Jassy that have been owned for a year, not just one month. I bought this Laekerrt because I liked the reviews and it had a video from a reviewer and most importantly, there is a customer service website and phone number in case there is a problem. I bought the machine for my family....I don't drink coffee but use the frother for chai lattes. It makes great coffee and is easy to use from what my family tells me. Due to the price, there is a lot of plastic so you need to find the right grip on the machine when putting and taking the coffee filter handle thingy on an off. My family liked the the ease of alignment for the 1 and 2 coffee filters as well. Also great that the water tank is removable. However, I am returning it due to the frother. As mentioned, I use the frother for my chai lattes. This frother seems to have a small steam whole relative to the Jassy Frother and it just seems to move the milk around without frothing the milk to create a light more volume froth...if that makes sense. (Also, note that I did take off the small steam nozzle end to try and get more volume from the frother but still did not create the light froth that I was looking for.) I know there are more important things in life than a good froth :-) but if the frothing is not as important to you then the Laeckerrt is a good machine for the price. However, we are going to now go to a higher priced brand name machine to get the overall quality that we want....watch this space. PS: whatever you do, do not get a Jassy :-)

Stopped working after 3 months

I’ve been genuinely impressed with this Laekerrt espresso machine. For a compact home espresso maker, it delivers surprisingly rich shots with a nice layer of crema and has been very easy to use even for someone who doesn’t want a complicated setup every morning. One of the first things I noticed was the design — the pear white finish with the wood-tone accents gives it a modern café-style look that actually makes the kitchen counter look nicer instead of cluttered. It has a premium appearance without taking up too much space. The machine heats up quickly and the controls are straightforward, so making espresso, lattes, or cappuccinos feels simple and beginner-friendly. The steam wand also works well for frothing milk and creates smooth foam for homemade lattes and cappuccinos. I was able to get good texture without much effort. Compared to larger machines, this is a great middle ground between convenience and quality. It’s compact enough for condos, apartments, Airbnb kitchens, or smaller coffee stations, but still feels capable enough to make café-style drinks at home. I also appreciate that it’s relatively quiet and easy to clean. The removable water tank and drip tray make maintenance simple, and the overall setup doesn’t feel intimidating at all. If you want an espresso machine that looks elegant, is easy to learn, and makes consistently enjoyable coffee drinks without spending a fortune, this is definitely worth considering.

Excelente precio para su calidad. Solo la he utilizado un par de dias, pero veo muy buena calidad comparada con una mas cara que tuve antes - era de otra marca. Es muy buena eleccion

Por el momento estoy muy feliz y conforme. La hemos usado diario. Es linda y el café sale increíble.
