Pros & Cons
Pros
This machine has plenty of pressure to extract and make good espresso. It is a great, highly versatile grinder that works well with everything from french press to espresso (at least for pressurized portafilters) it's really tough to shop for espresso... Read More
It just takes a minute and is so much easier than dealing with grinding by yourself. I hope these tips help you make the most of your machine.
For $100 (plus some inexpensive accessories) it's totally worth it. After that first cup i was sold.
Cons
This espresso maker is not good quality. You have to use something heavy to catch the espresso or hold your container otherwise the machine will shake the container off of the platform. Space below the coffee filter where the espresso comes out is mic... Read More
Usually they're extremely loud. Seriously unreasonable. This does neither. This just *. It adds up to nothing but a waste of time and resources, and a lot of frustration.
There is no way this machines produces 15 bar of pressure. This machine is neither reliable nor easy to use.
It takes multiple attempts to get the puck right with the tamp already provided. Steamer leaks even when device is turned to something different. They tend to burn up from the inside and leak like a sieve after a short while.
The machine is too short to fit a milk frothing pitcher under the steam nozzle while sitting in the counter. I'm more of a cappuccino type, and i'm usually really good at making them, but i could never get the frothing part of this machine to work. Bu... Read More

This problem got worse and worse with the old machine, which i finally replaced after it was taking 10-20 minutes(!
) i learned with the old machine that expelling steam by itself is insufficient to clean it.
Price
It’s easy to use and the price is super affordable.
Shipping
Easy to use pretty good coffee espresso machine broke for a minute but we fixed it and it was easy and fast and our fault it broke
Competitiveness
I have a rancilio grinder and ii get the best flavor out of good coffee.
Just as good as a normal expresso maker.
All that's needed to make this espresso machine work is to have a good-quality grinder.
But it's not priced or built for forever so figure it you get 3 years of pressure, you've done great.
