  Experience

  The product was used, not new as I expected. It wasn't mentioned anywhere that it was used. The stainless steel milk jug was supposed to be included according to the listing, but it wasn't. Shipping took far too long. Otherwise, everything is fine; it's working perfectly so far, and I hope it lasts a long time.

  DO NOT BUY. SPEND THE EXTRA MONEY.

  Don’t try to save money going with this one. They’ll say it’s on sale and that’s how they got me, but the quality just isn’t there. I’ve tried different beans, grind size, shot size, cleaning the whole thing even though it’s brand new and it just doesn’t pull shots well. I have to press the button twice sometimes more just to get it to pull the shot. It’s a hit or miss if the steam wand is going to work also, I have to turn and reset the knob about 4 or 5 times before it will register I’m trying to steam. I’ve even slowed down my pace of using the machine thinking it needed time to warm and calibrate but not even that. When pulling shots it will pressurize and let some of the shot out then stop after a second or two; and then I have to hit the shot button again to get about 15-20 more seconds of shot pull. It’s consistent with these issues regardless of any variable being changed. I really should receive a refund. This is unacceptable even for the on sale price. CHEAP. Not functional. A chore to use. Plastic material not stainless.

  How to use this machine

  Update: The machine extracts hard at anything below grind setting 15, w/ our sweet spot being around 18. That seems the case w/ several different medium roast coffees. The crema was perfect at grind 18. We returned to the default heat setting of 92 degrees C (machine default is 92). Read the manual to easily reset the extraction temps to experiment. Puck was perfect just a slight bit of moisture on top and easily popped out. Tamp pressure was mild as anything more makes extraction too hard. We also use the Flick WDT Espresso Distribution Tool to de-clump after the grind but before a mild tamping. Be sure to gently wiggle the handle while grinding to start evening out grind distribution. Once the tamping is done, brush off the excess grinds from the tabs w/ your finger. After your extraction be sure to wipe the frothing head, purge it into a dish cloth and also wipe the extraction head after each use EDIT: We ended up purchasing a Dioomod puck screen. That simple upgrade keeps the extraction head spotless and makes PERFECT pucks EVERY TIME! If you don't have use a puck screen brush off the extraction head when it's dry. Enjoy and experiment! :) Watch James Hoffman on YTube for the best milk frothing video and how to practice frothing technique w/ water and a couple of drops of dish soap. Last but not least when you turn the frothing button take your time and allow it to purge into a towel and warm up a few seconds before placing the container under the head. This machine requires patience and does not work instantly like the more expensive models. Our coffee is coming out beautifully now that we know the pace of this machine! :)

  Wonderful machine!

  My daughter and I LOVE this machine!! We have a coffee bar station that has this machine and our Keurig on it. I was reluctant due to the cost versus the quality, and let me tell you... This baby is wonderful!

  Buy this espresso maker

  Great bang for the buck. It looks like professional. It works great, expresso is fantastic. The frother works very and provides the ability to make different variations of coffee drinks. The grinder is a little messy, but it offers many setting choices. If there were any coffee lovers out there buy it.
