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, Silver

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.

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 :)

Love this machine as someone who just simply wants great tasting espresso at home. Can make cheap coffee taste good! The extraction can be quite bubbly for some reason but always a lovely thick crema! the milk frother is quite temperamental as you do need to purge it every time, sometimes twice... it also squirts out water off and on for about 5s when you start the steam which is kinda annoying but truly a minor when you look at the price compared to higher end machines as id rather pay 1/10th and deal with it!Pros:Great tasting espresso (even pre-ground, cheap coffee tastes good)Great priceNice thick cremaNice size for small kitchen spaceEasy to useEasy to cleanCons:Steam feature is temperamentalDifficult to figure out the milk frother due to pressureCan overheat easily- frequent purgingBubbly extraction...if you care

Finally a decent coffee at home! Good build. Nice shape and size. Very easy to clean and maintain. Makes a double espresso in around 25 seconds. Takes around 60 seconds to steam heat 250ml of milk.

The machine makes excellent coffee, and a even a small amount gives strong and tasty outcomes. Easy to handle and easy to clean. We like the cool looks of it and the fact that it is narrow. When we received the machine, the pressure gauge was not working; but we got a free replacement within a few days, with a customer service that was instant, friendly and helpful. I highly recommend the 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 downsides1. This machine is not sturdy I have to hold it down to attach the porta filter which leaves finger prints all over it2. 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 warmerBut upsides1. Milk frother wand is great and powerful did a great job each time I used it2. 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 better3. Takes up very little room on the counter so great if you’re someone who has little kitchen space or wants to have multiple machinesHad to return as it didn’t meet my needs but all in all is a nice beginner espresso machine

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.
