Laekerrt Espresso Machine 20 Bar Espresso Maker CMEP02 with Milk Frother Steam Wand, Retro Home Expresso Coffee Machine for Cappuccino and Latte (Green) Gift for Coffee Lovers, Mom, Friend, Family

If I went to Italy I couldn't get a better espresso I was amazed and shocked ,for this price We had a La pavoni commercial machine years ago in a restaurant we owned In every way ,this little machine performed beyond our expectations It's made in china, I was not expecting this quality but I believe part of this machine,, is Italian made If you are not used to operating an espresso machine it might be tricky at first We have our own burr bean grinder and a purified water system in our home ( very essential for a good espresso) I bought the warranty ,just in case /was very skeptical but I love love love this machine / am very hard to please when it comes to coffeeSo far , have not attempted the frother , have had a cold ,so am waiting The instruction manual is excellent I bought green color and love the look Will review later, the frother and add some pictures

This machine is precisely the right size for morning coffee and afternoon espresso. It has been working virtually every day now for months. Get good finely ground coffee, pack it in and enjoy.

I’ve had this espresso machines for less than 2 years and the coffee is no longer hot.

This is a fantastic little espresso machine. Works great but don’tbe too rough!

I have purchased this item as a Xmas gift for my girlfriend and was very excited about it.It was delivered used with coffee drops stains all over, coffee residues in the filters and just in a nasty state. It has been such a disappointing experience as, I’m all the way in Costa Rica and had to pay more than $80 for this to be delivered to me, the only resolution was to return which will refund me only partially as the shipping I payed will not be included. Would never recommend. This is beyond wrong.

The media could not be loaded. WHEN this machine worked, it pulled beautiful espresso shots & steamed milk beautifully. After four months, this machine will no longer pull shots. It literally worked for one drink & stopped working for the next. I have tried everything: I have tried every single troubleshooting scenario in the included mini book, I have contacted Amazon’s customer service (didn’t accept returns), I have contacted Laekerrt’s customer service (they don’t consider you a customer if you buy from Amazon), I tried disassembling the machine (not easy to do, must contain hidden screws, so I didn’t go far for fear of snapping it in half), I even contacted a local repair shop for espresso makers (they told me it would cost just as much as buying a new machine).Here’s my advice to avoid my situation:1) Buy the machine from the Laekerrt website (comes with 1 yr warranty)2) If buying on Amazon, buy the protection plan3) Run the descaling solution & cycle through the machine at least once a week, even if the machine doesn’t indicate it needs this4) Or — don’t buy this machine. Go with a more reliable / expensive brand. The espresso repair lady recommended the Gaggia classic.

Makes a great cup of espresso but takes awhile to get it done. The warmup time seems a little long.

This gizmo has rendered overpriced coffee obsolescent.
