- Apex Espresso Machine V2 (Grey)

Amazing machine ! Able to pull great espresso shots, and I love being able to tweak both the water flow and the OPV valve if needed. Surprised to see any bad reviews about this machine, received mine brand new, been using it for a few weeks now and never had any issues. Coffee temperature is great, recommend to wait a bit more than the advertised 3-5 minutes to get it to stay stable. I've seen some complaints about the wand but I cannot find any issues with it - you just need to purge before using it - takes a few seconds once the machine is hot and then you're good to get a perfectly steamed/frothed milk ! Pulled some great cappuccinos with it already (and I'm a total noob on that front). Once you get it dialed in, it's a great espresso machine that packs features that are only available above $1000 machines. Great budget real espresso maker !

Awesome espresso machine. Great value for the money. For under $500 it gives you temperature, flow, and pressure control. The steam wand has its own thermo-block system which allows more stability on the brew head. Also, the color looks great and no more finger prints in your machine! Highly recomended!!!

It works well, but the PID control is unstable (temperature fluctuates by up to 4°C).

First unit I got was defective (steam wand didn't work correctly) but after getting the replacement unit I can confidently say this is a great espresso machine. It heats up really quick, it provides you with multiple settings (pressure, flow rate, temperature) and it looks really stylish. I recommend that you get a bottomless porta filter (Normcore worked for me) since the one that's included won't allow you to fit a scale and a cup underneath it.

I've had elektras and gaggias but this one has been the best so far. Only had it for a few months, so can't judge longevity yet, but pulling the best espressos I've ever had personally.

First impressions. 5 days in the machine is doing what it is supposed to do. Tom's Coffee has good review of this machine. Mine needed some adjustment (easy) of water flow and opv pressure but now is making good shots of espresso (crema, liquid volume, etc.). I will update after a month or so but so far so good. {I had owned a couple of cheapo shiny machines that didn't cut it, then I got an expensive all-in-one automatic push button machine which had a grinder switch (not a 70's country rock reference) which malfunctioned and back it went. I settled on this machine because of the expert reviews I found on the interweb. (Good features and quality for the $).}

The machine overall seems nice but I would wager a guess my unit was used sold as new. Group head was covered in water stains and there were finger prints all over every silver surface. Everything cleaned up fine, but it just has been a bummer of an experience to start. Machine isnt too heavy and has a nice water tank size.

Estoy en la 3ra semana de uso de la versión 2 y las impresiones hasta el momento son las mejores. Excelente máquina sólida por fuera; he realizado diversos ajustes en el caudal, la OVP, las temperaturas de extracción y vaporización de leche, preinfusion activa y pasiva (pausa) manteniendo la presión hasta que inicia la extracción. Todo funciona como debe ser hasta ahora. Tener en cuenta que muchas de las reseñas de, por la fecha de las mismas. corresponden a modelos anteriores a la v2 que tenían varias fallas.

Tenia dudas al comprarla por los comentarios que leí sobre problemas con la preinfusión y el depósito de agua. Llevo dos meses usándola y todo funciona perfectamente, estoy muy contento con la compra.

Très bonne machine je suis pleinement satisfait.

Habe die Maschine jetzt knapp 4 Wochen in Gebrauch. Alles gut. Espresso schmeckt lecker. Einstellungen lassen sich einfach bewerkstelligen. Milchschaumdüse funktioniert für diese Preisklasse ordentlich!

received a clearly used machine that was covered in water droplets and old coffee grounds. After thoroughly cleaning it, discovered a significant water leak coming from the front when turn it on. a used and defective machine with potential electrocution hazard is completely unacceptable.

O produto chegou exatamente no prazo previsto, veio bem embalado e apesar do pouco tempo de uso já superou minha expectativa. Excelente compra!!
