Had this unit for a few weeks now and made dozens of espressos and lattes with it, and frothed milk for the kids (hot chocolate) –They loved how creamy it is!The espresso comes out very well with smooth rich taste if you use good quality beans and a mid-coarse grind coffee (lots of crema which I love). Note that there is no grinder built into this machine so you have to use your own grinder or buy pre-ground coffee. Another thing I notices is, it’s a bit noisy when brewing and does vibrate a bit so be cautious when leaving glass cups on top as they could easily slide off.I had some questions about the machine and the seller was very prompt and courteous, so bonus points for that!Overall very satisfied with it especially for the price compared to other options!

This item has been with me for a very short time.Its compact design fits perfectly in my kitchen, and the milk frother allows me to create barista-quality lattes and cappuccinos right at home. The easy-to-use controls make brewing an effortless process, even for someone like me who isn't necessarily a morning person. Plus, the espresso that this machine produces is rich, flavorful, and perfectly extracted every time. I love having the ability to customize my coffee drinks to suit my taste preferences without having to leave my house.I hope you find this review helpful.

This espresso machine is great! It was easy to set up, and the directions are great, even going as far as to make recommendations for the type of coffee used. It also took up less space on my counter than I expected, which was nice. Overall, I'm very happy with it!

Wow, I love this machine. It's really delicious for the convenience. Of course it won't be as delicious as having separate devices, knowledge, research, and taking your time to prep each step separately. However, that takes a large amount of initial research investment and time investment each time making espresso.This is definitely on the cheaper price range to get your espresso made. The good ones are quite a lot more expensive and usually just owned by a coffee shop because it makes sense to have it there instead of home. So you will need to place a very large amount of investment into a good machine if you wish to make them as good as the good coffee shops.That being said, I love the convenience of this to get something close enough. I'm not trying to win a medal or an award or trying to be the world's best barista. I'm just trying to get through my days.

I usually prepare my coffee using a mocha pot and a separate milk frother, and I am still convinced that I get my best coffee using those. But, I try coffee and espresso machines from time to time to experience easier coffee making and to see if anything better comes up.This definitely does not seem to be the best espresso machine, and I have some minor complaints about it, but with a price of $260 CAD at the time of writing, it seems to have be one of the most affordable among similar devices.Let's start with some issues common to similar machines. First, "espresso" is traditionally prepared in small amounts. So, if you would like to drink a small amount using one of the small espresso cups, you are fine. But if you are like me and prepare loads of espresso to mix it with milk or froth and drink lots, the single and double settings will not amount to much. Second, milk froth goes great in a variety of preparation methods, but every time an espresso machine offers a milk frother, it is usually a great hassle to do all the cleaning and maintenance, and I honestly believe that I get a much better milk froth using my separate milk frother machine. Finally, if your machine does not have an automatic coffee grinder or does not use pods, you have to make sure you have a good coffee ground to the correct fineness which is an extra effort.Coming back to this machine, here are some issues I had. First, I found the height of the cup compartment limiting. I have a little hard time fitting taller glasses, and with some glasses, I have to put the glass in the tray with the porta filter in it because sometimes I can't put one in and then fit in the other. And if you are wondering why tall glasses, they are when I would use the milk frother. As the espresso is prepared, I see that sometimes smaller cups can slightly dance (move) on the metal tray. Finally, and this is just a personal feeling, it seems to me that the espresso produced is not as hot as I would like.Despite all the negative things I listed, it still produces good espresso. It might not be as good as the coffee I prepare with my mocha pots, but it is quite good for an espresso machine and especially great for its price tag. While the milk frother works, again, I don't think it is as good as that I prepare with my separate milk frother, and the cleaning and maintenance procedure seems like an extra burden, so I don't use this machine for that. Still, I like it overall.

This machine is a VERY nice quality! Not big or bulky and super easy to start up and use! Theres a few of us in the house and we are ALL coffee drinkers! Everyone agrees that it makes the perfect cup! The instructions were clear and easy to understand for first timers! The milk tank and automatic frother work perfectly! The portafilter is lightweight, but it gets the job done. The latte function gives you more frothed milk, while the cappuccino function delivers less. Cleaning is a breeze—just rinse the milk tank and run the cleaning mode. Overall, a solid machine for the price, especially if you love lattes and cappuccinos!

Really the best thing about this machine is that I can load it up, make a double espresso, and clean it within about a minute which is super convenient. It's super easy to use, turn it on, load the coffee and push a button. It does go to sleep if it's left on, but still seems warm on top, so that might waste power. I believe that's supposed to be a warmer tray, but not really useful for me under the counter. It is surprisingly loud when it runs, so definitely be aware of that. The frother works well and is easy to clean. It's also easy to detach and throw the milk in the fridge which disables the frother. I do wish the unit was just a little heavier as it's hard to keep it from moving around when locking and unlocking the mechanism. Also, you can't fit anything larger than a standard size cup under the dispenser, so you won't be able to use tall cups that are pretty common. I'm wasn't sure how I felt about the double dispenser, and the unit I have seems to put slightly more into the cup on the left side, but still works well and almost even. Mainly have been using this very frequently for a single cup, and you can run the double twice for a weaker brew with more volume to fill a standard size coffee cup. Don't expect to get a second brew without mixing it with the first batch as it extracts pretty well the first run.Overall, this feels and looks well made and works really well! I will say that the frother tank and assembly does feel a little on the cheaper side, but works just fine. The machine works fast but is pretty loud. I think this is a solid buy and I'm pretty happy with it!

Works great and is a 20 bar machine instead of our old 15 bar and makes hot great coffee.Going from 15 bar to 20 bar made a huge difference.Convenient and easy to use!Would recommend to anyone

This is a nice compact espresso machine. The milk tank and automatic frother works great. I like a cafe mocha, my wife prefers a hazelnut latte. I made both using milk and adding hazelnut creamer for the Latte, and chocolate syrup for the mocha, then mixing each thoroughly before adding to the milk container. They both came out perfectly!This does not include a built in grinder for fully automatic operation. The portafilter includes 2 sizes for a single or double. The latte function delivers more frothed milk before the espresso, while the cappuccino function delivers a smaller shot of milk before espresso.The milk container includes a removable pin on the side for cleaning.The filter and tamper are lightweight, but work well. One drawback, after extraction, the puck was wet and did not come cleanly out of the filter. My grind may have been a little fine as I used the grinder on my name-brand espresso machine. The tamper is plastic and on the end of a scoop/measurer. I prefer a more solid, metal tamper. I prefer a heavier portafilter in general, but these work fine. The instructions do not indicate the size of the portafilter for purchasing a heavier tamper or filter funnel. I measured it at 53mm for the portafilter, and 51mm in the filter basket for a tamper. The included tamper is 50mm.The unit was easy to clean, just remove the milk tank and wash, then add clean water to the milk tank. The cleaning mode flushes the milk frother. The espresso head is cleaned by just running an espresso setting without adding coffee.A separate froth button allows you to add frothed milk to any beverage by push to start/push to stop.The simple features make this nice and easy to use.

AIRMSEN Espresso and Cappuccino MachineFirst time I used one of these kinds of coffee machines, usually just used a drip coffee maker.I don't have any espresso beans right now, I decided to try my regular folgers medium roast in it and see what happens. I have a cheap little grinder, to grind the coffee finer. It worked a lot better than expected. I made one of each kind, they all came out pretty decent.My only complaint so far, is that I wish it was taller. Can only fit short mugs under the sprout/froth maker. Would be nice to have the option of putting two double shots into my huge mug. Not really a deal breaker, but a bit inconvenient.259.99 seems like an OK price, provided this think lasts a few years I think. Mostly I will just be making espresso shots, not a big milk drinker these days.Addendum: I have since got some beans and a grinder, for sure tasted better than folgers run through it. I got a local canadian coffee bean to try it.

This machine does not use pods like a Keurig or Nespresso but rather you tamp down the coffee yourself - this saves so much money over pods! What I didn't like was how much work it is to clean all the small parts. Also, it is not fully metal but rather plastic with stainless steel overlay. The touch screen is nice and easy to use and it was overall pretty easy to use out of the box. Probably better for your 1 morning coffee than a maker to use for multiple people at the same time. Someone will be left waiting a while for theirs if they are last in line.
