CASABREWS Ultra Espresso Machine with LCD Display, Espresso Maker with Powerful Milk Frother, Customizable Brewing Temperature, Provides Barista-Level Lattes and Cappuccinos, Gift for Men & Women

Perfect for Beginners — Even for a Barista!I’ve been a part-time barista for about 3 months now, and I work on a $10,000 espresso machine at my job—so I wasn’t expecting much from a home machine at this price. But honestly? The Casabrews Ultra blew me away.It’s perfect for beginners. The interface is super intuitive, the shot timer is a great touch, and the PID temp control gives you way more consistency than I thought possible at this price point.Of course, the steam wand isn’t quite on par with the commercial machine I use at work—but that’s expected. Still, it feels great and absolutely gets the job done for lattes and cappuccinos at home. With some practice, you can definitely get decent microfoam.If you’re just getting into espresso or looking to level up from a pod machine, this is a fantastic place to start.

Love my espresso machine! Perfect as a beginner machine because you don’t have to learn much to use this! Makes great espresso and is easy to use. Also if you can buy it while there’s a coupon it is well worth your money!

I’m a newbie at making espresso and cappuccino, and very pleased with the results. A great starter machine. I’m still learning and experimenting with different coffees and grind settings, but have pulled many good shots. Customer service was excellent when I broke a part, and also very helpful answering questions and giving me tips.

Great espresso machine! As a former barista, this machine makes wonderful lattes and is really fun to work with. The steam wand is pretty powerful for a machine in this price range, and cleaning this espresso maker is very simple. I have limited counter space, but it’s not so big that I’m fighting for space. It has a great weight to it. Not too heavy but heavy enough that it doesn’t slide all over the place.There is no grinder, but for me this is not an issue since I have a separate grinder, but keep this in mind that there is not one with this product.The only reason I gave 4 stars instead of 5 is because the only equipment it comes with is the portafilter. There are no espresso shot glasses to catch the espresso, nor a steaming pitcher to froth milk in.All in all, so far is a very impressive espresso machine for the price. Not too flashy so great for starters to learn on! Just remember, there are no additional accessories, so those will need to be purchased separately.

This machine is beautiful & does all the bells & whistles it says. It sits on the counter beautifully. It heats up quick! I really wanted to learn how to use it but for me I was used to my 30 year old Krups espresso maker which now seems more like a strong coffee maker. lol but true. I watched many YouTube videos including Tom’s Coffee Corner on how to prepare & pull a shot. I think this was a bit too much as I was used to my old one button machine. I’m also a ‘hot’ coffee drinker but espresso isn’t as hot as coffee. You might know espresso better than me. So what I’m sharing is like “Duh!” To you. As someone shared on an earlier post the milk frother can spin a jug of milk. It is strong. For me, I just couldn’t get the hang of it. All this to say this is an amazing espresso machine. I just struggled with understanding it. The Customer Service is top notch! Not manipulative at all. Just sincere. I purchased this thru Amazon but I contacted CasaBrews directly & I am so glad I did. Personal service! She listened & followed up with emails & answered all my questions. When I shared that I was going to return it she just said not a problem and wished me the best on my espresso machine hunt. I think that was admirable. Please don’t let my experience deter you. The machine is fantastic. It was just my learning curve. I would highly recommend this machine. Enjoy! ☕️

I love this casabrew. I have saved so much money by not going to coffee shops to buy my coffee anymore. I’m able to make my own coffee that tastes great. Super easy to set up. Works great

I have never prepared an espresso in my life. That is, until I got this machine. The machine itself is beautiful. The instructions on its use are clear. The price, based on my research, is quite good. The milk frothier is excellent. Best of all, it makes delicious lattes. Full marks for this machine.

This machine is easy to use, easy to clean and works just as advertised.The warmup period is very short and if one follows the instruction manual and instructional online demonstrations itis virtually foolproof. I have had other espresso-capucino makers, none as simple and foolproof to use.
