CASABREWS 5700Gense Espresso Machine with Grinder, Barista-Style Cappuccino Maker with Milk Frother Steam Wand, Professional Coffee Maker with Removable Water Tank for Cappuccinos and Lattes

This is my first espresso machine and I have been enjoying it so much. I think it’s great for beginners. I love that it came with all the necessary accessories needed. I did go ahead and buy a bottomless portafilter and some puck filters but everything else it came with, I use in my prep. I’m still practicing on getting the perfect shot. As well as adjusting things like grinder time and extraction time to my liking. Also, I have been practicing on steaming milk, which I am okay at but I feel like the milk doesn’t come out too hot unless you leave it there a little longer which results in more foam. Overall, definitely recommend!

it's a beautiful machine! I purchased this to spoil my employees [at our business] and keep them caffeinated on busy days. If you're a beginner-- you should definitely purchase a pressurized 58mm basket to get the pressure perfect every time. It does overheat after 4 or 5 drinks in a row. Overall, i think it was a great purchase compared to the $2700 Breville I originally wanted to buy. The main thing i dislike about the machine -- the portafilter never goes in smooth...you have to put some strength into it and line it up perfectly. I have a smaller casabrews @ my home and the portafilter goes in effortlessly.

Update! Casabrews support got back to me and went out of their way to make it right!! i got a call from a service rep here in the usa who was super helpful and kind and apologetic--she explained i probably got a testing unit... they are shipping the correction over. All is well now and a positive vote for Casabrews original review: At first i thought i was just slow to learn how to put it together, Took me a long while to figure out what was wrong, the whole base for the tray (or i guess the tray itself) is missing , it's just black plastic area, nowhere to set your coffee mug, there is no grinder and tamper and it's missing various plastic pieces. i included a photo of the advertised product with red arrows on missing pieces. it's a large waste of my time and also a bulky product to have to take back for return. Either way glad to have prime for such an expensive purchase.

Best coffee ever! This barista machine doesn’t disappoint!

Garbage. A waste of money. While the Espresso machine part works okay, the hopper that holds the coffee beans stops working, making it pointless. If you want to use this rubbish Espresso maker, plan to buy a bean grinder, even though they provide a spare grinder, it is worthless because the cheap plastic hopper will fail. Do yourself a favor and spend a bit more on a better brand. This brand stinks. Casabrew should be named CasaBlows.

Just at I wanted

I did buy this machine, l was excited about that, but really doesn’t make a good cappuccino.

Works well, i use this for morning Americano's most days as i dont need 5 vanilla latte's a day. The fronther works well as well. The only negative is the grinder. I does work well and provides a good fill in the porta-filler after some trial and error. The negative is the bean bin doesn't always funnel the beans to the hopper.

The grinder on this machine is problematic. Intermittent performance, prone to clogging, sometimes not feeding beans ti burr grinder.
