Espresso Machine with Grinder and Milk Frother, 20 Bar ULKA Pump

I worked in a coffee shop in Alaska years ago, so I know what a good shot of espresso should taste like. Ever since, I’ve been chasing that same quality at home, and most machines have left me disappointed. The espresso either tasted burnt or just fell flat. I almost bought the Breville Bambino Plus, but by the time I added a quality grinder, I was looking at several hundred dollars more than this machine. I’m so glad I trusted my instincts. This machine has been incredibly easy to use. The built-in grinder does a great job, the steam wand is intuitive, and the espresso is exactly what I was hoping for—smooth, rich, and balanced without that burnt taste. I also love the little details. The cream color looks beautiful on my countertop, the large water tank means I’m not constantly refilling it, and cleanup is quick. The whole workflow just feels well thought out. For the price, it’s hard to beat. You get everything you need to start making excellent espresso at home without spending a fortune on extra equipment. If you’re looking for a machine that produces great espresso and is easy to live with every day, I’d absolutely recommend this one.

This machine works fantastically well and it’s also adorable. I love the way it looks on my coffee bar. Makes a great cup every time!

I just upgraded from my capsule coffee machine to this espresso machine, and cant be happier about it: 1. The retro style looks very nice, and the creamy white color is beautiful. Though the body is plastic,, but still it looks metallic and of high quality. 2. It comes with a built-in grinder. I haven’t used it yet, but it looks very strong and good quality. The large water tank is another bonus, so I don't need to fill it up frequently. 3. The portafilter feels heavy and very good. It also includes 4 cups, very thoughtful! 4. I was actually a little hesitant before purchasing because some of the reviews Some reviews said the coffee is not hot enough. But if you preheat the machine with the hot water function, the temperature and pressure would both fall into the green area. The coffee comes out very fast and hot enough, and the crema is so thick and nice. Better than I imagined! The noise is also not loud. 5. The steam wand also makes good milk foam. It makes latte and cappuccino easily. Even I tried to make some latte art—it worked well. 6. The machine comes with a cleaning set, very considerate. The drip tray is also easy to take out and clean. Overall this budget machine is well worth the price. The only improvement I can think of is the plastic body, but it’s not a deal breaker. I’m very happy with this machine and would recommend it.

Love, love this machine. It is beautiful and makes cappuccinos better than the local coffee shops. It is a daily habit for me. Doesn’t take long to figure it out. Just empty the front catch tray occasionally. Comes with great scoop and an impressive tamper. I’ve been using it for about 6 months. I think it is very comparable to the $1,000-$1,500 machines and more attractive!

Excellent Espresso machine, This machine has completely transformed my morning coffee routine. It's my first espresso machine, and it consistently delivers a rich, flavorful shot with a beautiful, creamy layer on top. The way it extracts the essence from the beans makes every cup feel like a little luxury.

Quick take: Decent machine once you figure it out, but between shipping damage and confusing measurements, it’s not exactly beginner-friendly. What I liked: • Customer support was actually helpful when we reached out—they did a good job explaining things. • Once set up correctly, the machine works and produces a solid espresso. • Built-in grinder is convenient and saves space. What I didn’t like: • Arrived damaged during shipping, which isn’t a great start. • The measurement system is confusing—it’s not based on weight like you’d expect, but on their own “dose” system, which isn’t clearly explained. • The manual is overly complicated and not very user-friendly, especially if you’re new to espresso machines. Real use: Took extra time to get everything dialed in because the instructions weren’t clear. Had to contact the manufacturer just to understand how to properly use it. After that, it works—but getting there wasn’t smooth. Verdict: It’s usable and has potential, but the learning curve and initial issues make it harder to recommend. With clearer instructions and better consistency, this could be a much better product.

Was looking for a highly rated espresso machine. Cream color exterior was a bonus to match the esthetic of my coffee bar. Easy to use for a beginner. My only learning curve is to practice frothing. Grinds the fresh beans at different levels and makes a quick, excellent hot espresso, cappuccino or Americano.

Just received it. Very excited. Grinder works great. Decent water reservoir. Warm up time is fast. Brew time is reasonable. Output coffee isn't very hot. (MY BIG COMPLAINT). The coffee taste good, but it's lukewarm. 2nd Day, the grinder stopped working, and the grinder is stuck in the machine. Gosh, only 2 days use. Brew temp not adjustable, so I have to return it, although it's a decent machine, I don't want to have to microwave my finished brew every time I want a cappucino. Steam was ok, but again, NOT super hot, so the steam time took quite a while. That made the coffee brewed already even cooler by the time I finished steaming. I tried several attempts to see if possibly I wasn't warming the machine up, but I followed the manual, and it just never got hot enuff for a hot brew, and hot steam. Returning.

Je l'adore. J'aime son rapport qualité/prix. L'utiliser ce n'est pas une routine mais un rituel tous les matins parce que j'aime son design vintage et sa facilité d'utilisation.

Love this machine so far, all works well the way it should

Did a lot of research, finally pulled the trigger on this one, no regrets, easy to use, whoever complains is most likely a user error. That's a rare one; they mention they offer a 1-year warranty and most don't. I would recommend it if you want a decent machine and not break your bank.

It seems very cheaply made and flimsy material it’s unfortunate as it a lovely looking machine. Haven’t had a chance to use it as I’m doing a small kitchen renovation. Not sure if I’m happy with it or not

Bought it for my wife for her birthday, watched a couple of videos on YouTube and she loves it.
