Chefman Espresso Machine With Steamer And Frother

Es la primera máquina de espresso que tengo y me pareció muy fácil de usar. Es sencilla pero te permite hacer muchas cosas y funciona muy bien. La recomiendo mucho

This was my first ever espresso machine and I’ve never worked as a barista or had any experience with making coffee other than drip. For under $100 ($80 when I bought it), I would HIGHLY recommend this product. I bought this back in August (2023) just before the fall semester started in hopes I could whip up a quick latte before my 8 am class. I didn’t always have enough time to froth the milk with the attached steam wand, but the espresso never disappointed. This machine is extremely easy to use, beginner friendly, and budget friendly. I bought a coffee bean grinder separate and I grind my own beans for the week and seal it away in an airtight container then brew the freshest espresso before I start my day. Finally the at-home coffee station I’ve dreamed of for years is here! Haven’t been to a coffee shop since 👍👍

Works well. Ordered 3 years ago and again for family members now. Original still running great. Great value

We bought this after a similarly priced unit that we got for Christmas failed us. The other unit was mostly made out of plastic and the steam escaped from every seam while you were brewing your espresso, which meant there was nothing left when it came time to steam/froth your milk. After looking around to see if any of the other affordable machines looked a little more solid, we finally took a chance on this one.

I am happy to report that all of the components that need to be metal, are. The steam pressure builds up like it’s supposed to and there is plenty of pressure to steam/froth your milk to your preferred consistency. I like how easy it is to use and how little space it takes up on the counter. It’s a low-cost option, so you’re obviously not getting a perfect product, but we’ve been using it for two months now and it does the job and is still holding up well. I think that’s all you can really ask from an espresso machine under $100.

I’m returning for a few reasons. 1 this machine is OMG SUPER LOUD. 2 u have to leave it on or u have to “prime and heat” the machine every time you turn it on and that takes about 3 minutes to do. 3. The single shot is not a single shot at all its just drippings. First I thought hum maybe it’s new so I ran it 6 or 7 more times and it got to about a half of a single shot espresso, so I tried 2 shot button well that produces 1 espresso shot, I tried 7 times 1 shot every time when I hit the 2 serving button. Very disappointing. The scooper is way to big for both 1 and 2 shot tins it’s messy too. You can not put a regular coffee cup under to catch the espresso so you will need to buy short cups or an espresso craft (for this price it should come with one) the plus side I love the water tank it holds a lot of water. It does produce a nice espresso sadly too many negatives to want to keep.

I bought this yesterday, and have used it a few times. Works as described and is an excellent deal and is a good quality expresso machine. The water container does appear to leak slightly overnight, I would empty it for overnight storage. I myself can’t empty it as I am using distilled water to prevent hard water build up in the machine and I don’t want to waste the distilled water.
