Calphalon BVCLECMP1 Temp iQ Espresso Machine with Steam Wand Stainless

It uses more coffee frounds than my last one did. (Different brand). But the flavor of the latte is EXCELLENT !

I've been using this machine every day for about 3 years and it is consistently performs well and makes delicious lattes! Simple to use and clean- I love mine. This was a gift from my husband.

It’s a little hard to get the filter out after you make it, but the machine works GREAT so far! We’ve been using it every day for a month with no problems.

So, four years ago, my Breville died one month after it's warranty expired. And, I always struggled with it to pull decent shots. So, I gambled for the Temp IQ because of price and decent reviews. This machine, for FOUR years, has consistently pulled GREAT shots and I love the steam wand. Amazing machine. Well done, Calphalon. Additionally, it has a beautiful, sleek design and good capacity water tank. And, it even allows you to adjust temperature and timing of your shots. For many who have given poor reviews, consider that they probably haven't taken care of it. Four critical components for great espresso: good water, quality beans, proper grind, and descaling on schedule.

The price goes into the great quality. The only thing I was not expecting is the portafilter to require so much strength to twist into position when grounds are in filter.

Love that it provides an even temperature distribution I can choose that my drink is the temperature I want it. Love the steam wand, easy to clean. Little bit of a learning curve as was my first espresso machine it easy to follow instructions with dial to choose drink selection. Not as overwhelming as other espresso makers, would be better for beginner but still high quality drinks. Fits well/blends with other appliances on my countertop. Would recommend

I've had a couple of these now and they only last for about a year.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this machine as a gift from a raffle. Unfortunately it leaks from where the tank meets the tray on the back of the machine. I called thinking I could buy a new gasket. Nope, they don't have parts and because it was a gift without a receipt I can't send it back for warranty repair. So now I have this really cool looking paperweight.

DO NOT BUY ESSPRESSO MACHINES FROM THIS COMPANY. I spent almost 1K in machines, the very expensive module of this one, with the coffee grinder. The first one didn't make it to two years. The second didn't make it to three. Because they are out of warranty there is "nothing they can do". The first one was within warranty and I had to fight to get authorization to send it in for "evaluation", and then got sick and missed the deadline. They wouldn't honor it. I wanted to just get them fixed, even if there was a fee. Nope. They won't even do that, or help at all. They told me to just buy another. Absolutely disgusting, disappointing.

I bought this in November 2025, 5 months ago I've had nothing but problems. It began to leak water underneath the water source if you do two or more drinks. Now it won't turn on the cord somehow has a short in it. Such a disappointment!
