Chefman CraftBrew Espresso Machine w/ Steam Wand and Touch Controls – Stainless Steel

I bought this for my husband as a Christmas gift and he couldn’t have been happier, he loves it. It did not take him no time to figure out how to get it up and running. I think the only thing was that he was confused on why it overheated at first and there’s a sticker on the back that blocked ventilation, but he figured it out in no time super easy he loves it. I would say it was money well spent.

The worst coffee maker I’ve ever tried. It came with a clogged filter, it takes a long time to select the coffee size, it overheats very quickly, and overall it leaves a lot to be desired. I don’t recommend it at all. I think it’s worth investing a little more money in something better.

Never even got to using it. Tried to make my first latte and the machine blinked overheated at me. Looked at the reviews and this seems to be a consistent issue of this product. Not sure how it has so many good reviews. Going back to my mocha (stove top) espresso brewer. Only part on it that breaks is the replaceable gasket. Takes a while to make it but at least it’s reliable and doesn’t “overheat”

I would say the milk frother does not work about half the time. Pretty disappointing because I got this for my husband as a birthday gift. I would not buy or recommend this product. Spend a little more money and get something that actually works.

Worked a couple of times and was great, then over heated and was a total mess on, ended up spending ages trying to get it to work, then returned it. Walmart's return policy is great. No issues. They were fine with the fact I didn't have the box.

I got this expresso machine on sale for Black Friday and for $50! Although I was skeptical about the quality due to the low price , however upon getting it and using it , I was blown away! This espresso machine has exceeded my expectations in every way. From its elegant looks (looks great as a countertop piece and compliments other stainless steel appliances of ours) to its performance brewing rich tasting delicious coffee ! It would be complete without The frother which it includes and wow it really works ! It performs on par with my higher priced espresso machines . My brother had a Breville which he paid 10 times more and honestly it’s hard to tell a difference if you do a taste test. I am super happy this is my go to coffee machine that I use daily!

Our first Espresso Machine. It is very Strong Coffee with extra steps. But when you follow the steps, it is quite Yummy. I add about 1/4-1/3 cup of frothed milk to a Double Shot, then a dash of flavored liquid creamer (I don't stir it) and it tastes Delicious! It does make some loud noise when it gets started, so in a quiet sleeping house, that might startle. It doesn't take up too much space, also what we wanted. My photo is a Triple Shot using a Double Shot measurement with 1/3 cup frothed milk and a dash of creamer. 2 Thumbs up!

I have used this machine a handful of times, I have tried EVERYTHING but its pulling weird, super watery shots. I am so disappointed because I saw so many great reviews, but this thing sucks. Not sure if I'm able to return it, but will definitely try because this is not working how it should.

Just received as a Black Friday special and will update if anything changes. I upgraded to this unit because it has an easy to use steamer wand. The espresso coffee tastes better than our previous unit and making a latte is a snap. So far love this little unit and it’s smallish footprint for what it does. It’s much more light weight than our previous other brand and hopefully that doesn’t bode ill.

Really wished this worked better for me, but I received it and the water tank is leaking water. Also it does not seem to pull very good espresso shots. Walmart is replacing the item for me so hopefully the next one works better. So bummed because I was so excited for this:(
