Hands down the best machine - better than De'Longhi !! Value for Money and I want to upgrade this to next level which has a grinder with it. Highly recommend this machine, if you are coffee fanatic and understand the art of coffee making and crave for your own barista style coffee, where you can control the ingredients.

Perfect espresso every time, doesn't take up my counter space

I am over the coffee cup excited with this new machine. Never had one before and I consider it a "special treat!"

This product is junk. It over pressurizes every cup. You get a high pressure stream of diluted water that blows by the grounds aknots every time. I've tried different grinds, beans, and tamp pressures. I've used a lot of espresso machines, expensive and cheap and this is by far the worst one I've even use by a mile.

Updating review from 4 months ago, still really hate this machine, I've had it for 9 frustrating months, I'm still disappointed with it. Inconsistent, messy, mediocre espresso. Time to get the Breville.

I got this slim cuisine, art espresso machine for Christmas and every morning I struggle with the espresso machine, putting the espresso thing on the machine so that I can go it fights with me. It doesn't wanna lock. It doesn't wanna turn. It is a struggle every morning.

I watched and rewatched dozens of YouTube videos on the fundamentals of brewing while waiting for the Espresso Bar Slim Espresso Machine to arrive. One thing I forgot about were all the needed accessories. I ordered glasses, portafilter magnetic funnel, coffee bean dosing cup, WDT tool, a stainless steel puck screen *51mm, a solid tamp *51mm, an espresso hand grinder, a coffee scale with timer and of course some really nice coffee from a roaster in Philadelphia. This machine is so easy to use, I only use the double shot setting. Like any espresso machine, the grind is key, once I dialed that in, every cup tastes great. The puck screen I ordered keeps the brew head nice and clean. Steaming is no issue, it works just fine, I decided to order an Electric Milk Frother to make flat whites. If you want to dip your toes in this hobby, this machine gets the job done.

This machine's instruction manual is completely unhelpful, so make sure you're tech savvy and intuitive if you want to work this machine. Machine was shipped with incorrect parts, and I'm waiting on the correct replacement parts from Cuisinart.

I recieved this as a gift . I replaced my older espresso maker with this one. All I have to say is … amazing!!

Great machine do the price. The slim design keeps it out of the way and reduces clutter. The instructions could be better along with some how to videos.
