Chefman CraftBrew Espresso Machine, 15-Bar Pump Digital Espresso Maker w/Steam Wand for Latte & Cappuccino, Compact Espresso Coffee Machine w/ 1.5L Removable Water Reservoir - Stainless Steel

This coffee maker works perfectly! It brews quickly, the coffee tastes great, and it’s very easy to use. The design is nice and compact, and cleanup is simple. Great value for the price.

I really love this espresso machine. It’s very easy to use, heats up quickly, and the coffee has great flavor and crema. The steam wand works perfectly for frothing milk and making cappuccinos at home. It has a modern, compact design that looks great in the kitchen. Excellent quality for the price, highly recommended

This is a fantastic espresso machine for the price category. I’ve owned a couple different brands and this is by far the nice. Quick, efficient, and makes a nice hot double shot in less than 30 seconds, with plenty of frothy foam. I never thought I would find a decent replacement for my old krups machine which was a tank. This thing is quickly becoming one of my favorite kitchen gadgets.

The item was clearly used before receiving. Water stains, coffee stains, leftover grounds, ripped and reopened packaging, odd smells, and missing parts. After thoroughly cleaning and assembling, we found out that the parts weren't entirely necessary for operation (brush, pipe cleaner, single shot filter). The machine works well and does everything as advertised, but the low review score reflects that we ordered new and they sent us someone else's hand-me-downs. Coffee brewed tastes good, and the overall function of the machine is comparable to a Breville. Good value considering its less than half of what youd spend on Breville. Its compact and fits nicely on my counter. Just hope they don't t send you old crap that they repackaged hoping you wouldn't notice.

This coffee maker is easy to use and works very well. It makes good coffee and is easy to clean. I use it every day and I like it.

Works well. Crews hot coffee and steams milk well. Does sometimes overheat and when making multiple drinks and steaming. Overall great entry espresso machine

* Update 1 Jan 26: Use nearly any puck screen to help with every shot if you've been failing with this Chefman. I've used the stock plus another so 2 different portafilters both favoring puck screens which a major advantage of using a puck screen is more even water distribution across the coffee puck, which leads to more consistent extraction, more resistance * My Chefman Crema Supreme Espresso Maker $279.99 has 15 bar pump, 30 Settings - CONICAL BURR GRINDER, 58 mm Portafilter, 4 Adjustable Brew Temp control/settings (194F, 198F, 201F and 205F), Milk Frother, Water Capacity 3 Liters = 101 oz, Wattage: 1,450 watts, espresso accessories including a milk pitcher, nice tamper, 2 Baskets (7 gr and 18 gr), cleaning tools and a grinding funnel. I've been only using for a month or so but she's working 20+ coffee-type drinks daily for dialing in 8 coffee types, roasts, milk drinks. Already had to descale a day ago and we have great water. Sure $280 is great and I bought a 3-year extended warranty for $30 ensuring joy. I had a tiny 4 cup Braun Espresso in 1996 while assigned overseas in Belgium and now just getting back into the Coffee world. Learning lots via Youtube and ChatGPT, books, others. I see lots of brew methods, types and techniques in my future. I'm going to buy and try quite a bit, maybe even some fun reviews are the way ahead. If Chefman fails, I'll be going up into the $500-1,000 machine category. I'm 53, new to the coffee craft but started drinking it in 2nd grade/10 years old due to hyperactivity which coffee impacts differently for some. I document/log some coffee data as I progress through this stuff or I'd never get to drink a cup since ya need training if dialing in 8 coffees esp on a new machine. I also have a Cuisinart Single-Serve Coffee Maker + Coffee Grinder with K Cup and my daily 32 oz French Press. My Rig, Jam, Coffee Setup, Accessories are below. Your puck prep needs to be spot on to get certain values. You don't need to spend what I did but $50 tamper or stir distribution that ensures consistency for 5-10 years is a win. She came with a heavy duty tamper but uneven pucks are real. Also these Amazon items work with our Chefman.
