I purchased this espresso maker and have been using it every day since (2 or 3 times a day).
So far this has been working well and making pretty good drinks.
Because I have never had an espresso maker before, it took a little bit of getting use to and some trouble shouting, before I could make a drink that is consistently good (to my taste).
2 things I found that are critical in making that “good” espresso:
- You absolutely need to wait for these 10/15 minutes before you make you first drink. This may be a long time, but it is typical of these entry level espresso maker. It needs to warm up otherwise coffee will not flow correctly and will not be warn.
- You also need to be careful not to grind you coffee too thin, otherwise it will clog the filter and your coffee will drip (slowly) instead of flowing and producing the crema that makes it taste so good.
The one feature I don’t use so much is the steamer. It does work okay, but it uses up lot of water.
So instead, I use a milk frother like this one:Aerolatte Milk Frother
which works as well if not better (I warm up the milk, before frothing it).
