Farberware Espresso Machine, 15 Bar, Silver, Stainless Steel, Steam Wand

I didn't listen to the reviews and gave it a try. I love that it's not big and bulky and I was able to have it next to my ice machine. At first I thought that the machine wasn't working but it just needed the water to be primed so we ran the machine a few times. Regular coffee grounds don't work too well with this machine, it needs to be espresso roast or grounds. I did get the insurance on the machine just in case if it didn't work. I hope my review helps a few people out.

This product is very easy to use Manual exactly as described as followed. Extracts very well coffe. single or double shots. Doesn't take up much space in kitchen area. steamer works magnificent. For the price this machine over exceeded my expectations. I really like the features of this product. The only small thing but not a big deal is the noise it makes it not silent. however, this works amazing folks.

For the price, under $100, it works just how I expected. Had it only for a week so hopefully it lasts. Many of the parts are made of stainless steel. Be sure to use expresso grounds not coffee grounds

I hope they put super specials like that for people who can't afford to buy expensive and good things.

The milk frother doesn't seem to froth evenly (the circulation lacks) but for the price this obviously isn't going to compare to machines at a coffee shop. Definitely works and is worth it.

Gevi based machine with basic instruction in it's use. 7 bars is on the bottom end of pressure required to pull a shot of espresso that is of semi ok quality, the portafilter %26 basket setup it comes with is pressurized which aerates the coffee as it passes through a screen in the portafilter creating pseudo crema. When testing using a bottomless portafilter and standard 14 gram dose double shot basket with fresh beans ground to a fineness I've found works well on Gevi and Gevi based machines this one produced slightly weak espresso with no crema. Further prodding with pulls I decided to test the temp of the water which was quite low for espresso extraction but easily resolved by warming it up in steam mode and switching it to espresso as soon as the steam light went solid. Doing that increases the temp of the water and also increases the pressure to 10 bar which produced a pull of decent espresso with pretty decent crema that I have been able to improve and pull a consistent double by dosing 14.4 to 14.6 grams (depends on the roast, I lean toward medium to dark depending on the bean type) of coffee with the bottomless portafilter. For a machine I bought on a whim (really didn't need yet another sub $100 budget machine to play with) it's pretty good and i'll probably be opening this one up to see what tweaks can be done to it like temp and pressure improvement.

I'm returning it. It strangely arrived wet and didn't worked. Poor built and it is leaking. But it is beautiful and the perfect size. They just need to improve on the materials. Thankfully I tried it first on my kitchen countertop. It would wet all my documents on my office

it's good and gets the job done. the steam wand is a little big and it made it harder to control ngl. also it's really hard to take the coffee puck out bc it's not secure😭.

go it in a special deal, I was exited about it I was going o get rid of the pods , great instructions easy to follow but at the second time of used, it was only delivering couple tablespoon of coffee and then something with the pressure didnt work and I tried it several times, cleaning putting new coffee and fail not recommended !

Leaked immediately in first use . Returned immediately. I will say that the 1 cup it produced was tasty.
