Thyme & Table Barista Mini Espresso Machine with 15-Bar Pressure and Steam Wand, Sand White

I love this cute little machine! In response to some of the reviews, I almost didn’t buy it. BUT I’m glad I did! My advice is to read all instructions before first use and set up. One review said the tamper is flimsy, it’s not. The flimsy piece is the part one uses to prime machine if water doesn’t come out during setup. It has to be primed first. After all was ready, I was like WOW! I cannot believe that people don’t read to comprehend. .It’s sad. Yes the machine is a tad noisy but it’s using a lot of pressure to run. It is okay as well. LOVE IT!

Priming the first time is key! Use everyday now for over a week and still makes excellent espresso with crema. Tried others just recently that I returned. This one had good reviews and makes great lattes. You will need to buy a stainless steel milk pitcher. It is loud but not louder than a starbucks machine.

I can’t say enough good things about this machine. I have a little stovetop pot and there is no comparison - this is hands down a superior cup of espresso. I bought this for my camper and am going to buy another one for my house.

I returned another brand that didn’t work and purchased this one! THIS IS THE ONE YOU NEED!! So easy to set up and use and it works like it should! Very pleased with this purchase !

Just now getting into the home espresso thing. I was hoping for an inexpensive machine that could make a great cuban coffee and I am absolutely thrilled with it. I'm so thankful for the savings, because I have already spent way more money on the scale, tamper, needles, knock box and bean grinder. All of the important parts are made of metal, and the size is way smaller than the more expensive machines which was awesome for the space I had available was limited. If there is one con that I can give, it's that there is no solenoid to immediately stop the flow of coffee once it's finished dispensing. I am sure this would make the machine much more costly and if I'm being honest, I hit the button and walk away anyways. I'll come back in and grab the cup and throw down a paper towel to catch the rest and Bob's your uncle. For what it's worth, being my 1st espresso machine and all, it is definitely worth a try for the price.

We have LOVED using this espresso maker! We use it at least twice a day. The size is great and doesn't take up a ton of room on the counter and doesn't weigh too much. It's pretty easy to use. We had a little trouble with figuring out the steam wand but after 2-3 times we finally got it working correctly. It's easy to clean and we've had fun making our own drinks at home.

I really like this machine. I have purchased much more expensive espresso machines and this much easier to use. The only thing is it’s all plastic so it’s a rattle box a bit noisy .

I loved the price and size of this machine. It vibrates so hard that I have to stand by it and hold my cup as the espresso brews. It also doesn't fully drip out of the portafilter. When I go to empty it, it is still filled with water... so the espresso brewing out is white and frothy instead of dark.

Price is great, it looks great, it's packaged great. Coffee scoop tamp tool that's included is very flimsy. Knocked off a star because the description says it includes a stainless steel frother cup, but mine didn't have one in the box. Knocked off another star due to the odd size portafilter. This one is 52mm, almost every cheap espresso machine on the planet is 51mm, so accessories and filter pucks will be hard to find.

My machine was water tank was cracked and the sensor inside the tank was detached. I was so disappointed on Christmas Day. But I can say that some parts of the machine is quality it is made of metal. I took it back to Walmart and got my money back and ordered another one online.
