CASABREWS CM5418 Slim Espresso Machine, Pre-Infusion Espresso Maker with PID Temperature Control, 20 Bar,Pressure Gauge,Stainless Steel.

I couldn't be happier. The CM5418 very easy to use. It is easy to clean. It makes a wonderful cup of espresso. I have wanted an espresso maker for a very long time, and this was a really reasonable price and a high-quality product. I'm very very happy with it.

I had serious doubts about whether it was going to be possible to make really good espresso at home. I have previously owned one of those coffee makers with the integrated espresso function and milk frother and it was useless. I watched the online video where the guy suggested running a one-cup shot with just water to warm everything up before you actually do your espresso. That and the temperature guage did the trick. The machine is easy to run, uncomplicated, and the crema on the espresso is wonderful. We are now having the best espresso martinis and affogato desserts ever. We haven't actually used the milk frother yet, but even if it weren't very good (and based on everything else it is going to be great, I'm sure), we would still be more than delighted that we chose this model. So inexpensive compared to others on the market and yet well built and solid feeling.

As someone new to espresso, I found the CM5418™ very beginner-friendly. The instructions were clear, and I was able to pull a good shot after just a couple tries. The design is compact, and the frother is a nice bonus. Definitely a great choice for anyone starting out with home espresso.

Perfect little espresso machine. If you're looking for a great coffee without all the bells and whistles (or learning curve), this machine does the trick. Ordering a tamper now since the plastic one that came with is the only disappointment.

This is an easy to use machine, basic, straightforward. I love my daily cappuccino and with my Casabrew, I can have one every day. No additional money spent at cafes or more trash in my trash can! I love it!

This machine is great and so easy. I spent weeks researching and am glad I went with the CM5418! Would recommend for anyone who is on a budget but loves coffee.

It looks beautiful on the kitchen counter, easy to set up and use. My problem is there is plastic in the bottom of the filter holder, brewing hot water through plastic. If I can't find a replacement filter holder, I will be returning the machine.

I was very excited to purchase my first espresso machine and after much research and many positive reviews, I settled on this machine. Upon arrival the machine was packaged very well and the material of the machine is very strong and sturdy. It comes with everything you need to get to brewing some great espresso!

I am just getting into home espresso making and this machine has made it possible without breaking the bank. It has been easy to use and clean and is making some great coffee with just a little research and some add-ons like a bottomless portafilter. It is compact and looks great on the counter. Could not be happier with what you get for half the price of a bambino.

I purchased this machine at the recommendation of a good friend who tested hers against two other espresso makers and this model won hands down. I definitely see why. This is one of the very few purchases I've made that I didn't have buyer's remorse. The price is great, and I received my order within three days.
