Geek Chef 20-Bar Espresso Machine with One-Touch Cold Brew, Semi-Automatic Coffee Maker with Automatic Milk Frother, Silver

I am so glad I bought this Espresso machine. It's so small yet very powerful in that it does everything you need it to do and the steamer function is powerful, hot and effective. The 1 and 2 cup option and other cup size tools just make it the best for my kitchen countertop. I use it every day and love it! You just have to remember follow the instructions, make the Espresso first, then steam because the machine has to reach a 95 degree temp before coffee is made, which means it has to cool down, not heat up. If you make the espresso first, the frother will reach 115 degrees in just a few seconds, making the process seemless and flawless. Matter of fact when my son and his wife came over she loves it so much my son bought her one immediatelty after going back home, now she has the exact same model and loves it as much as I do mine. Highly recommend as the quality, look and feel of the metals are top grade. The water holder is in the back, hidden mostly from view and holds way more than you think it would.

Good value, decent quality, works well enough with a couple of quirks: 1) if you use the frother before making the coffee, it can take forever for the machine to cool down enough to make the coffee, you can avoid this delay by running water out if the frother to cool the machine faster; 2) you need to run hot water through the machine several times before use, through both the frother and the coffee maker, in order to get rid of a lot of silicone lubricant and particulates inside the machine. It can take a minute or two to warm up before use, and the amount dispensed is not automatic, you have to start and stop with the push button, so it takes some practice to get consistent results.

It's a little noisy, and there's a little too much plastic in the build. One annoying thing seems to be that the steam wand is not really moveable. But it makes excellent steam, and the coffee is great as well. Glad I bought it....

the draw back is i can't use pods other then that it's great.

It is hard to turn on and change your drink type. Need more instructions to get coffee strong .

i bought this machine less than 6 months ago. now it leaks from different places around the portafilter, when making espresso shots. it's extremely loud too, when making either, shots or steam, also, the steam takes 2 minutes for 1, 8 oz cup of milk to foam ! the biggest issue is, it leaks from somewhere underneath when not in use, so i have to keep the water reservoir empty, when not in use. this is a cheaply made machine, that obviously was not built to last. spend a bit more, get a better made machine. I DO NOT RECOMMEND !!!

This thing didn't even last a year. Don't bother. So so so bad. Espresso quality wasn't even good. Not even a good entry level machine. Don't bother buying it.

very too luod noisy and use plastic in the portafilter and fraud in advertising photos very bad extraction

bought this on 12/16 it is jan 18 and it doesnt work. .. if ive used it 4 times its to many. does not brew coffee but spits water everywhere

the machine would not get hot or build pressure. i had to send it back and purchase a different espresso machine. there was, however, no problems in returning it!
