This is not a real espresso machine, but a poor surrogate. however for $60 you should not expect much more. Coffee does not come close to real espresso.

I was excited when I bought this product, it only had one review but it was a 5 star. Much to my disappointment after reading and following the instructions I got everything ready and made some espresso. It came out BURNT! I reread the instructions, tried again and again and again. And it kept coming out BURNT!! Plus, you have to release steam from the nozzle after every batch you make. And when I say “batch” I mean one or two shots, as the guide suggests not making too much for risk of burning your espresso (mine burnt with just 1 shot). Anyway, releasing the steam is a long process-10-15 minutes- and is as loud as a freight train.. plus, it’s messy. Not exactly what I envisioned when I thought about offering guests a cappucino or espresso after dinner (yeah, sorry, it will be 15 minutes between each person..get in line!)
Needless to say I am SUPER dissappointed with this machine and am still trying to get ahold of the company to return it..

I just got this espresso maker to replace our old one. I can’t even get the boiler cap to close, I almost broke it trying to get it on! It has a double lock feature and that’s why it’s so hard to close. I will be getting rid of this, I have already spent nearly an hour trying to get it on. Junk!

I bought this machine and tried it out for a couple of weeks. Although it performed well -I couldn’t get the espresso hot enough for my taste. I gave it to my daughter in-law who loves it and is using it three or four times a day. She doasn’t mind that her coffee isn’t piping hot.
