Pros & Cons
Pros
This machine is great for making lattes/frothing milk. It heats up quickly, by the crema and taste of the espresso i can tell its getting up to pressure without a gauge, while also being at temperature. Can make very creamy, sweet foam with this machi... Read More
The best espresso machine for home use; comes closest to commercial/barista-prepared drinks. It’s basically the same as the breville barista express minus the grinder attachment. It's easy to use, pretty consistent espresso as log as the grind is also... Read More
Simple, straightforward to use. There is a learning curve however because it is not fully automatic. They offer the same instructions that are included on the quick start page, however the visual will likely shorten any learning curve.
Comes with a tamp that stores magnetically next to where espresso comes out. The tamper is magnetic and ticks away nicely under the front of the machine. You do not need to purchase a separate tamper (it comes with one).
Cons
The steamer nozzle is a single piece making it harder to clean. The filter basket could not be removed from the port-filter wand without using a screwdriver. The 15 bar italian pump starts to leak pressure internally.
On the box it advertises 200 degrees fahrenheit. I'm not sure about the quality of the coffee either, i think it's inferior as teh cream is not as thick.
These are intentionally not repairable. For anyone else, it’s a major design flaw. Get one with digital *, not knobs.

Eventually after maybe 812 months the machine stopped producing the same level of quality espresso that i was initially impressed with
Everyone that claims it produces poor quality espresso
Price
I make my own liquid gold and i don’t pay over 8 per drink anymore it’s a win win
Honestly i little skeptical buying used like new from amazon but let me tell you it was worth every penny
If you’re paying 400500 for a espresso machine please get a grinder
It pays for itself with the money ive saved from not buying cafe lattes
Packaging/appearance
Everything was still brand new in packaging

We replaced it with the similar and slightly more expensive 34infusion34 model and glad we did

It also froths slower than what the commercial brands have so youll have to froth for 510 minutes depending on the milk amount

Has the essential thermal and pressure consistency for cheap without bells and whistles — but with a great preinfusion that’s lead to minimal channeling and extremely even extractions
