  • works great
I love it so far. It's a one person espresso bar. The bean hopper and discard is a lot smaller than my old machine, but I get counter space back. My old machine allowed you to brew 2 americanos for one full cup of coffee. This only had the option for 1 americano. It will brew either one or 2 shots of espresso. ... show more

  • All in one easy espresso machine
This is a surprisingly compact, versatile espresso machine. It is deep, but takes up much less space than a standard espresso machine with half of the hassle. The machine grinds, compacts and dumps the pucks on its own, requiring very little upkeep so far. I have mine set up on the optional extra height tray for travel mugs, and added roller feet to it so it is easy to slide out for maintenance & refills - it is pretty heavy! I clean the removable puck brewer unit weekly, and it is easy to reach up into the powder slot above it with a brush to dust out any built up grounds. Any loose grounds fall out on the tray below and are easy to sweep out. The steamer wand is also pretty easy to clean after use - this one absolutelyhas to be cleaned after every use because of the fresh milk. Notably, the instructions say only to steam/froth milk after pulling your espresso, as it can overheat the shot pulled right after. Tested that for myself, and yeah they are right - the machine runs extra hot for the steam wand and can absolutely ruin the shot right after. Note that you need to have the drip tray in place when you turn this on, every time. The machine runs a quick rinse every time it is turned on and shoots water out of the nozzles - you want that to go into the drip tray and not your awaiting cup. It produces a good espresso, with a decent crema and a good strong flavor. This is dependent on the beans you use, of course, but I have gotten excellent results from bagged commercial whole beans and locally roasted whole beans. The hopper is sufficient for several drinks without needing a refill, and thankfully can be refilled while the machine is running. You can only adjust the grind size while it is actively grinding, or you risk damaging the grinder. I was happy with the results right out of the box,;but you may find you want or need to adjust based on what you use. It is kind of loud, which is expected for an all in one machine, but it's not the worst. Perhaps I've just gotten used to it at this point - there is a running joke in the house now where anytime someone starts this thing we immediately start shouting "WHAT?!" at each other if we're standing right next to it. You can hear it go through each stage - grinding is absolutely the loudest, then puck formation, pulling/heating water, extracting and dumping the puck. Kind of neat. My one gripe is the "empty puck tray" notification. Sometimes it tells you to empty it when it has just been emptied or only has 1-2 pucks in it. Other times, the icon pops up and it's overfull with a puck dumped on the internal drip tray outside of the collection bin. I think the notification goes based off how many shots have been pulled and not actually sensing the fullness of the tray itself. I could be wrong, but either way it's a very minor issue, just a bit confusing. Just keep an eye on it. Overall very happy with the quality and ease of use. Not fussy beyond the puck tray icon, easy to clean and maintain. A great way to get a fancier, more premium coffee experience at home without the cost of the daily coffee run.

  • The Best Thing I've Added to My Kitchen All Year
That's not an exaggeration — this Cuisinart espresso machine has genuinely changed my daily routine. I use it at least three times a day for both hot and cold drinks, and my partner — someone who doesn't typically notice or care about coffee quality — immediately picked up on the difference. That says a lot. The operation is refreshingly intuitive. Even if you skim the manual, the buttons make enough sense that you won't feel lost. The touch-sensitive buttons require almost no pressure, which is convenient, though it does mean the occasional accidental press — a minor trade-off. Filling the bean and water reservoirs is as simple as opening the top, adding what you need, and closing it back up. The removable drip platform adjusts for both small cups and taller tumblers, and the compact footprint means it barely takes up counter space, which is a genuine bonus for a small kitchen. The milk frother deserves a special mention — it's easy to use, the nozzle adjusts to accommodate different cup sizes, and it fully disassembles for a proper clean. Speaking of cleaning, emptying the used grounds is effortless — just pull out the compartment like a drawer, empty it, and slide it back in. One thing to stay on top of though: mold can develop quickly in the used grounds if left sitting, likely due to the combination of heat and moisture. Make it a same-day habit to empty it and you won't have any issues. The coffee tastes great, it looks sleek on the counter, and it's easy enough that anyone can use it without feeling intimidated. Highly recommend. ... show more
