Empstorm Espresso Machine 20 Bar, 3 in 1 Espresso Maker with Milk Frother Steam Wand for Latte and Cappuccino, E.S.E Pod, Powder and Capsule Portafilter, 50oz Removable Water Tank for Home

The media could not be loaded. I’ve had it for 5 months now and very happy with this purchase. It’s a quiet machine and only makes noise when making the coffee, which is great if you have pets with sensitive ears. My pet rabbit is super chill when I make my espresso. I like that this machine can be used with either ground coffee or capsules. It comes with different attachments and can be used to make coffee with capsules made for Nespresso (the original kind capsules) or Keurig. I’ve used the steamer a few times for guests as I don’t use creamer in my espresso, but can attest that the steamer is very powerful and steams and froths cold milk in less than 10 seconds; it’s also easy to clean. The version I bought didn’t come with the metal milk carafe for steaming, thus, I used a regular mug to steam milk on a lower setting, so it doesn’t splash or burn my hand (the cup I used is not made for milk steaming). This machine is made to be used with the original size espresso cups, which are small in size. Personally, I don’t like handles on my cups, so I use a small tea cup as shown in my video. I just shared a link to this listing with my friend who was impressed when I made her a cappuccino and wants to buy one herself, and I was surprised to read other people’s reviews and using large coffee mugs as shown in their pics, which are not made for espresso machines. You get a lot of value with this machine for nearly $100 and it’s worth every cent in my opinion. It is also super lightweight compared to other coffee machines I’ve owned throughout the years. It is so lightweight that it feels like a toy espresso machine, and initially I had my doubts about it, but it does work great, and it’s lasted me over 5 months now with daily use. As for use, the written directions are confusing, and I’d recommend not to read them and just figure it out by looking at the machine, which button is for what based on pictures and which attachment is for ground coffee, Nespresso capsule or Keurig capsule. The machine is designed to be intuitive and you can figure it out just by looking at the picture graphics on it. The first left button is On/Off, you press that one first (make sure to plug it in, haha), when the On/Off button stops blinking, your machine is ready to use. The next button is a single cup for 1 espresso, the next button has 2 cups shown for double espresso (dopio), the forth button is for steaming, press that one if you want your milk steamed and use the knob on the right of machine to adjust the pressure and steam by moving it counterclockwise. I felt the need to write this review and provide directions, because it is the most simple espresso machine I’ve ever had and it makes great espresso! I highly recommend it!

Hasta ahora sin falla, si la tratas con cuidado no da problema, se programa fácil siguiendo el instructivo y hace un cafe bien espumoso y espeso, creo que es buena opción para inciarse en el mundo de las cafeteras. Excelente relación precio y calidad si me lo preguntan.

Our espresso machine broke after 8 years & we needed a replacement. Ordered this one & very disappointed in quality of machine

I was quite skeptical before purchasing this machine. However after using it i have the impression that is a good one for making your daily coffees at home.Please read carefully the owners manual because it can make a big difference in your coffee taste.Such as pre heating and preparing your coffee.The taste is very good/creamy and hot enough and also easy to operate. Please watch a few videos before using it, and in time i am sure you will gain good experience to attend a good coffee making skills. The milk ratio to coffee is very important in your coffee and can virtually makes a big difference.Of course time will tell if it is a good purchase, or not but so far i am very impressed and happy from this machine which is much cheaper than big names machines in this field for almost same taste for a bargain price .

Very good for the pricing and the feature that you can use coffee pods too, the coffee pod taste very good but when you use ground coffee the taste is very soft, it came out really frothy but the flavor is not there, also the coffee remains came out with a lot of water, unlike other espresso machine I have when it comes out super dry and compact, I adjusted the time and nothing, It improved a little with a puck screen but it still wet, like it never cuts the water flow so it nevers dry out
