CASABREWS CM5418 Espresso Machine 20 Bar, Barista Espresso Maker with Steam Milk Frother, Stainless Steel Coffee Machine with 1L Removable Water Tank for Cappuccino, Latte, Black

I don't write reviews very often, so you could say this is my first one. This purchase could be quite expensive for somebody, so I decided to share my opinion to help other buyers. This coffee machine is a great choice for those who love coffee. I only drink coffee with milk, so I was looking for a machine with a steam wand. I read a lot of reviews on this product – I’ve had the machine for 2-3 months now, and everything works perfectly. Thanks to the other reviews, I was prepared for the fact that the machine is noisy. This is true, but it wasn’t a problem for me, as I prioritized other factors when choosing. Some people received faulty machines; the only issue I noticed was a cracked red part that’s used as a steam wand cleaner, but this is absolutely not a problem for me. Another thing I noticed when buying the coffee machine in silver is that it gets smudged easily. Some fingerprints stay on it until you clean it with glass cleaner (so far, that’s the only thing I’ve tried, so I’m not sure if other cleaners would work). This is only an issue for perfectionists. I think most people won’t even notice it. As for the machine's operation – it’s pretty easy to figure out. The package includes two manuals: one is more detailed, and the other is a quick-start guide with pictures showing how to set up the machine and make coffee. So, I understood how to use it very quickly. The coffee turns out amazing. I can even drink it without sugar. I know a lot depends on the type of coffee, so I chose one that’s not too acidic or overly roasted (Lavazza Qualita Rossa). Overall, it’s a worthy purchase. I really enjoy the process itself; it’s meditative. I hope I’ll be able to update this review over time. It will be interesting to see and report how the machine performs once the manufacturer’s warranty expires.

Really pleased with this machine so far. It’s compact, looks smart on the counter, and pulls a decent espresso with a nice crema. The steam wand works well once you get used to it, and I’ve been enjoying making lattes at home without any fuss. The pressure gauge is a nice touch and makes it easy to dial things in. For the price, I wasn’t expecting café-quality results, but it’s honestly better than I thought it would be. Ideal for daily use and a good option if you don’t want to spend a fortune.

Bought this to replace a Delonghi machine which wasn’t working as well. This has a good pressure to make a good espresso. My only gripes with it are its noisy and vibrates quite a bit. The steamer for the milk takes a bit of getting used to. Made a mess of it more than a few times. Overall, a good machine but don’t expect it to be quiet. Update - had this over a year and still noisy. It gets a lot of use, which is good. Makes an excellent espresso as the pressure bar on it is just right. Perfect for people who are v fussy about their espressos. Starting to have an issue with it not pouring out and going up to a high pressure on the gauge, but this might be due more to my impatience at using the machine. Still happy with it. Have gone back to enjoying my coffees properly now. It’s better than the chain coffee shops’ efforts

Working everyday. Very easy and Quick to get running. Brilliant to foam up the milk. Takes one minute. Good foam.

I have held off on reviewing this as it had a mixed press when I was looking. I am very impressed. Use espresso ground coffee for best results. You will get a fantastic coffee with your choice of blend. I like Lavazza Rosso but it is your choice that matters. All espresso needs the cup to be warmed. Don’t forget this step. If you’re making americano, hot water first. It does take time to cool down from steaming milk. If you’re making a job lot of caffe late make the espresso shot and warm your milk after. This product is extremely good value for money, easy to clean and sleek on your work surface.

Absolutely amazing machine and really affordable ! (No affiliation to seller ) so far works great , manufacturer offers a 1 yr warranty. I have bought this machine quite sceptically but it brews a really nice strong coffee (I prefer double shot) with intensely roasted coffee. (Illy) If you grind your own coffee fresh and preheat the portafilter -let hot water run through before putting coffee in there - you’ll get coffee shop quality beverage at home. (It brings the taste and strength close to the classic moka pot) the coffee has a nice thick crema that doesn’t dissolve! (Btw I worked as barista some years ago and I have been searching for an affordable machine for home since - I think I found it now ) I had a DeLonghi Dedica Arte before— that one I had to send back because it brews lukewarm weak ice tea looking thing compared to this machine ! The machine is nice looking , sleek and compact doesn’t take up too much space :)

As Espresso machines in this price bracket go the coffee is decent, machine easy to set up and use. My complaint is ...IT SHOULD LAST LONGER THAN 1 YEAR 1 week!!!. followed the cleaning schedule, did it as per instructions and used it daily for between 4-6 cups per day SO honestly think it should last a bit longer...will not be getting replacement from Casabrew!

This machine looks great, it is well built and generally appears to look like a high end espresso machine but first let’s go through the downsides 1. This machine is not sturdy I have to hold it down to attach the porta filter which leaves finger prints all over it 2. Top heater does not appear to work as I thought I leave the mugs on for ages but they don’t appear to be any warmer But upsides 1. Milk frother wand is great and powerful did a great job each time I used it 2. Useful meter to check espresso is being made properly and it actually does work the times I’m in the espresso range the coffee actually tastes much better 3. Takes up very little room on the counter so great if you’re someone who has little kitchen space or wants to have multiple machines Had to return as it didn’t meet my needs but all in all is a nice beginner espresso machine
