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.

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.

Chefman CraftBrew Espresso Machine is fantastico! I received it on Boxing Day and have since enjoyed very rich and tasty cappuccino and latte-style coffees with loads of flavour and enjoyment. And that's just using regular medium-roast ground coffee, but I'm having a hard time distinguishing the difference between my home-brew lattes from the famous coffee chain's lattes!! I've since ordered a better tamper and a stainless-steel milk-steaming jug, so won't be visiting the coffee shop anytime soon! I've even bought some "espresso" ground coffee, so expecting even better flavour.

I have had it for 6 months or so, it works very well . It took a bit to get the coffee holder into the machine, but it was me , don’t try to force it , be gentle. Start at the left and wiggle it into place moving it to the right. Just breathe you can do it. It’s very easy really.

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:(

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.

I am honestly shocked. never would have dreamed this would work as well as it does for $50. Everything you'd need and expect is included. My only concern is that it vibrants so much the espresso shot glass slides to the side. not a problem for me beacuse you have to stand there to do the milk next. I tried another one but different brand and maxhine and it was trash. Just fyi, none of the espresso machines come with the espresso shot glass or the milk frother mini jug.

I was planning on purchasing a budget espresso machine but saw this for way cheaper than I was planning. Decided to give it a try. I am pleasantly surprised how delicious my coffee is now! It’s a basic machine but I don’t need the bells and whistles. I have never used an espresso machine before but didn’t even have to read the manual, it’s very user friendly. Definitely buy!
