CASABREWS 20 Bar Coffee Machine

これで毎朝完璧！とのことです(プレゼント)。

An excellent little espresso maker! Brews great espresso and steamer works perfectly. Ran the rinse cycles as outlined in the instructions and found no issues with taste or smell. I had no previous experience with espresso machines and found this easy to set up and use. I love it's small size as I have limited counter space. The only thing I would change is that I wish the steam arm was slightly higher or that it raised a little further to get my cup under a bit easier.

I was somewhat skeptical that a machine at this price could be worthwhile but the favorable reviews posted by others convinced me to give it a try. For context, I’ve gone through any number of Nespresso machines that fail after a couple of years daily use and, before that, I’d had several other espresso machines that also failed. The pods are also quite expensive and bit of a pain to buy and dispose of. I’m also convinced they’re bad for the environment. So for the last couple of years I’ve been using a stovetop Moka pot and that has been largely absolutely fine. However, that makes coffee, which is not the same as espresso. So, enter the Casabrews 3700. I am very happy that I made the decision to try it. I now get a very good latte every morning with minimal effort. It warms up quickly and I get 2 cups of espresso very quickly. Be sure to pre-warm the machine before your “pulling” your first shot by just running water through an empty coffee basket into a cup so you have cup of warm water to throw out. Then you’re ready to fill the coffee basket and your espresso now will be at the correct temperature. Clean up is a breeze. The size is small enough to sit on my kitchen counter in a designated area that I use for making my espresso and tea as well as warming/frothing the milk for my morning lattes. I prefer to use the Aeroccino machine that came with one of my late Nespresso machines. The Casabrews comes with a steaming wand that works fine but I find the Aeroccino easier to use and clean. The only negative thing I have to say is not about the machine itself but about an accessory: the Casabrews comes with a combo plastic scoop and tamp, which I’ve replaced with a nicely weighted steel one. The machine is of decent quality and seems to be made from a combination of steel and plastic. I’ve only had it about 10 days now so I have no way of knowing how long it will last, but I think it’s definitely worth the money if you want to make real espresso at home.

Soy barista aficionado, he pasado por varias marcas y sin duda esta es de las mejores que he tenido. El espresso mejora muchísimo si compras un filtro sin fondo. Para emulsionar la leche va bastante bien, la presión es constante y la lanceta tiene el tamaño ideal, lo que recomiendo es que se purgue un poco más de lo habitual, esto para que se llegue al punto de presión necesario y se mantenga en éste mismo.

EDIT: I am upgrading my review to 5 starts due to amazing customer support I received. I was a bit unlucky to receive a machine that makes water smell horrible. I had to ran it with just water for 3-5 times (depending if it is after 9 hrs of hight or just 4 hrs of it being inactive). I tried running citric acid- it did help for a while. Anyways....I got a refund from the company. So my point is: every piece of product cannot be ideal when it leaves the conveyor line in the factory. And this is where customer support comes into play. Yes, I was unlucky to receive probably that one faulty piece, but customer support rectified my disappointment. I am still using the machine (after flushing it with citric acid and continuously flushing with just water) and it is producing amazing espresso! I have just made myself mind-blowing capuchino! I love the build quality of the machine and it does extract coffee to the fullest (silly me, tried to re-use coffee from the Porta filter in my Coffee maker thinking that that there is still so much flavor left and that the espresso machine just couldn't extract it so well...Well all I got was dark brown water with slight aroma of coffee 😅). So yes...the machine does do a great job on that! Oh, and I found my single shot filter scotched thoroughly to the Styrofoam packaging! So make sure you check the packaging well before complaining they had forgotten to put another filter (just like I did lol). Bellow is my original review: I have to run it with an empty filter three times before I can make my first cup of espresso. I put fresh water which doesn't smell (and water reservoir doesn't smell either). Apparently, there is a compartment inside the machine where water stays (and heats up for your espresso) and after staying there overnight it starts smelling like a process water or technical water. Another thing, just like many others noted here, my machine arrived with one filter missing. There is supposed to be two: single and double portion filter, but I received only one. The espresso however tastes well after running the machine three times empty. Well, what would you expect from an espresso machine of that price , right?

Magnifico y gran calidad del café que elabora
