5.0 out of 5 stars Great Value -- Love the Crema
I had a Krups espresso machine for years -- it was a real workhorse but finally the power switch got flakey. So I started looking for another machine of the same size (many of them are just too large, regardless of features). I finally chose the Capresso and, thus far, I could not be happier.The machine has a generous water tank, is straightforward to use (although I have not used the frother as I bought a Souvia milk frother on Bolo in late 2018 and love it), and makes a great espresso for my morning latté. A nice rich flavor, excellent crema, and nice and hot.I will write an update later but my first impression is that this is a terrific value and a solid machine.UPDATE April 23, 2021I have now used this machine at least daily for my lattés. It is just fabulous! It heats up quickly, makes fabulous rich créma without fail, has such a generous water tank, and is easy to maintain. I'm sorry I didn't make the change sooner! BTW I use a Gourmia frothing machine (on Bolo at https://www.Bolo.com/Souvia-Automatic-Frother-Steamer-Machine/dp/B08X6D8ZR9/ref=sr_1_3?crid=DU7QOAJP2SVP&dchild=1&keywords=souvia+milk+frother&qid=1619201636&sprefix=souvia+milk+%2Caps%2C212&sr=8-3), which has only two reviews but I have had mine for 2-1/2 years and it is also fabulous. The frother allows me to froth milk while I'm brewing the espresso, and I am a happy camper!
5.0 out of 5 stars Best espresso maker for the price
This is an easy to use machine that produces delicious espresso, lots of crema. You can use the small portafilter for a one shot espresso or for use with ESE pods (Not capsules). You also have the larger portafilter for a two shot espresso. It warms up fast. Frother works pretty well. You can easily switch from brewing to frothing (or viceversa) almost on the fly. You will need a small mug/cup as there is not much space for a standard 12 oz mug. I use a traditional Italian cappuccino mug. Had it for 2 years of daily use and still working ok. For the price, you just can’t find anything better, perhaps only if you buy an unknown Chinese brand. Of course if you want to spend a lot more, you might find a machine that’s probably more durable. Capresso is part of Jura, a high quality European (Switzerland) espresso maker, of similar quality to Italian machines.
1.0 out of 5 stars The machine exploded
I don't normally write reviews, but feel compelled to do so with this particular product because it involves safety. We had two Capresso machines in the past and liked them. So when this new model came out, I eagerly checked out the features, read the reviews and viewed the demo video. I decided it was a good product and bought it as Valentine's Day gift to my husband. It worked well for a couple of days and the cappuccino tasted good, although we weren't crazy about a couple of things - the porta filter is only half of the size of the previous model we had; it doesn't come with a glass carafe so we had to use the one from our old machine.When I was brewing an Espresso the first weekend it arrived, I noticed that it took forever for the coffee to drip. As I was leaning in to check on it, it suddenly exploded! The porta filter flew a couple of feet away, smashing the glass carafe in the process and spilled coffee and grind all over me and the kitchen counter. Luckily I didn't get hurt! (I will upload a picture of the mess later.)I was totally shaken up by the incident. I called Capresso Customer Support, and they told me to email them the pictures and said a supervisor would get back to me. Since I bought it from Bolo.com, they told me to contact Bolo.com to return the product. So I did. The Bolo rep was super helpful, caring and gave me clear directions to return the unit free of charge for refund. Capresso finally emailed me back 5-6 days later questioning if I inserted the filter properly which I know I did. I am one of those suckers who do everything by the rules. They also asked me to send the unit in to them for investigation. By then, I have already returned the unit to Bolo.com. I forwarded them the Bolo.com return label so they could track down the unit, but they said they couldn't. That was the last I heard from them.I hope the incident will prompt them to look into potential problems with the model. In the meantime,I recommend that folks who have this model be vigilant when using the unit and don't stand too close while it is brewing. I sincerely hope this was an isolated incident and won't happen to any others.
5.0 out of 5 stars Best homemade espresso
I got this for a family member's birthday present. They have told me many times how much they love it and how good the lattes are but I finally got a chance to try it for myself when I visited recently and they were definitely not exaggerating. The espresso comes out looking and tasting just like at a cafe- rich, strong, dark, with lots of crema. The milk steams up with a smooth, creamy froth that is absolutely perfect. The coffee comes out quickly and the milk steams fast. All told, a latte takes maybe 5 minutes to make. I'm thinking of getting one for myself now!I read all the reviews before buying this and to respond to a couple criticisms: Yes, large mugs do not fit beneath it. But a teacup would. And, of course, small espresso cups that you can empty into a larger mug or glass if you want. You can usually find little espresso cups at thrift stores for super cheap if you want to save money on this. You do need to stay near the machine and watch as it makes your coffee because there doesn't appear to be an automatic shut off function. You need to switch it off when your cups are full or they will overflow, which is fine because it only takes a couple of minutes. Remove the cups quickly after you turn the dial to "off" because the machine will pump any extra water left in the "pipes" out and you don't want that in your coffee. It will fall into the little collection box underneath the metal grate that holds the cup. This box will need emptying and cleaning every two or three brew cycles or it will overflow onto your counter. This is the only drawback I can see to this machine, but it's not a big one.
WONDERFUL
For the price this is an outstanding espresso machine!
Excelente!

Buena cafetera de espresso

A very good espresso machine
The machine met my expectations. Makes excelent espresso, lots of crema. Deliverey was fast (3 days).I will recomend it to my friends.
Awesome coffee BUT the water reservoir leaks badly.
I bought this for my boyfriend's birthday and he loves it. He says it makes the best cappuccino he has ever had. So, in terms of coffee quality and the speed it produces it, it gets a 5 star (we use Lavatza Crema in it and it works like a charm). However, no matter what we do the water carafe leaks. We wake up to half an inch of water all over our counter top. So we have to empty the carafe each time we finish using it. It's not a big deal, but it creates a mess if we forget. So, from that point I would rate this a three. If this didn't have a water leakage problem I would give it an unqualified 5.
