It was a little challenging to set up the first day, since there are several factors to adjust before getting a creamy and delicious espresso — like pressure, grind size, extraction time, and temperature. Just follow the recommendations and be patient while dialing it in. The most important tip for me: grind the coffee beans right before brewing. It makes a huge difference in flavor and crema. So far, my ideal setting is around grind level #5. Good luck with yours!

Just on looks, the unit is impressive. I followed all of the setup instructions, and I was up an running. The machine has functioned beautifully. It's taking time to perfect the intricacies of brewing a nice espresso and latte, but this has nothing to do with the performance of the machine. I definitely recommend!!

So far, after two days, we are loving our Crema Deluxe Double Boiler Espresso Machine! Great price point. Very easy to set up. And I haven’t extracted a bad cup yet! We are novices at this espresso process and were expecting a big learning curve. But we’ve been pleasantly surprised. If this is part of the process I can’t wait to improve my skills, lol. I do need to work on my milk frothing technique but it seems to be working perfectly. Very happy customer.

The product it’s very practice, the coffee grinder it’s so consistent and the espresso it’s delicious. It’s very practice foam milk at the same time to extract the espresso

So far so good. We had fun as a family figuring out how to use it. My husband and 2 grown sons. This is my mothers day gift.

First time owning an espresso machine and got a little intimidated by hearing how hard new espresso machine owners can find making espresso can be but after reading how to use and trying it out I’ve found this machine to be very easy to understand and use

The grinder is not consistent, and you will get a different weight each time you use it, even on factory settings.

Its a great little machine! Makes great tasting espresso! Only thing is seems to have a leak underneath.

I hope you caf fin it :( Yesterday i opnened it and didint Word, tarea out and in the Walter tank and it hall worked, todas nothing, it wont Work, the Walter dont get hot and i cant mate any Coffee

I was excited to receive this as a gift. However, the machine steamer is very loud ear piercing loud. I make a double and the espresso doesn’t full drain through the filter. I can only make one latte at a time after each time you make one you have to clean and dry Porter filter if you don’t, the espresso does not blow through at all
