amzchef Espresso Machines 20 Bar, Espresso Maker with Milk Frother & LCD Panel, Adjustable Temp, Compact Cappuccino Machines for Home Gifts, Stainless Steel

A Little Small, But Works Great
I got this to have an extra frother cup for my Breville Bambino Plus. This jug is a bit smaller than the one that comes with the machine. The max fill line on that one is for 250 mL so if you put that much in this frother, it will just barely hold it without overflowing. I found that 200 mL is the perfect compromise for me. The jug isn’t as black as I was expecting it to be but it a darker silver and is a good weight. I really like it for when I want to just froth milk (like for hot chocolate) and not go through the whole ordeal of cleaning up the espresso machine.

Making espresso at home at little less complicated
The amzchef espresso machine is a sweet addition to my beverage station options. I had cappuccino machine back in the 90s from a popular consumer brand. In comparison, this is several steps above that in quality. But like my 90s cap machine, this espresso maker would still be considered a tool for the amateur home barista.The button controls and digital display helps simplify the process and show what options are selected or actions that need to happen:• the dispensing level – single, double, or manual control• indicator for when the water tank has run dry and needs to be refilled• indicator for when preheating is in process• the selected temperature preference – high, standard, low• indicator for when to descale/maintain• side wand dispenser (works in conjunction with the side knob) – hot water dispenser or steam for frothing milk• timerThe display is set back on the machine and when I’m viewing from overhead, the top row of images are cut off. The buttons are ringed by bright blue LED lights with icons printed below that indicate their function. The glare from the lights makes it difficult to see these icons though. It would have been nice if the icons were cut out silhouettes illuminated on the buttons.The removable water tank is set on the back. My coffee machine also has a tank on the back. So, I use a separate pitcher to collect water and fill the tank as needed. This is not a problem for me, but if your machine is set underneath kitchen cabinets, you might have clearance issues.The base has suction cup feet. This keeps the machine in place when inserting and tightening the portafilter handle. But, if you have clearance issues with the water tank, this prevents the machine from moving in and out of place to refill the tank.Also, note that the instruction say to make sure the filter handle is inserted perpendicular to the machine or slightly to the right. I did not tighten it fully on initial use when flushing the system with water. One of my favorite bowls crashed to the floor when the the filter handle fell on top of it.The system comes with two filters, one for single and one for double brew. Each has a max level indicator so you don’t overfill with espresso. These fit tight in the portafilter handle.There are a few extra features that I appreciate. The hot water/steam wand is adjustable to move out the side or under the drip tray. A tabbed silicone collar is fit over the wand to facilitate moving it without burning your fingers. The drip tray is equipped with a red float that pops up to alert you when the tray is full of liquid and needs to be emptied. The top of the machine is grooved and can fit a few espresso cups up there.As a novice, I’m sure there are tons of features that I’m missing out on with this machine. My palate is not that sophisticated to know the difference anyway.

Didn’t work out of the box.
I waited to try this out until a frothing mug I ordered separately, came in. First try and NOTHING. The push button control panel lit up fine, but the selection for “single or double shot” did NOT work at all. I just don’t trust the QC to try a replacement so I asked for a refund.

Sturdy, great product!
This is exactly what I was looking for! It is sturdy, well designed and made. If you are looking for something that produces more than 12 oz, then this is not for you. It heats the outside like it should (which is good for judging temperature of milk) and fits well in my hand! I took off one star because it came with a few scuffs which don’t hurt the structure, but makes it not quite perfect.Pros:Made wellSturdyPouring spout is designed really wellHandle is great qualityInternal measuring marksCons:Came with a few scuffs, but nothing hurting the structure.

Qualità prezzo ok,soddisfatto dell’acquisto

⭐️⭐️⭐️La jarra es perfecta para una persona, ya que la capacidad que tiene es justo una taza de leche.No obstante la primera vez que la utilice se me quemó la base y es complicado a la hora de limpiarlo.La mejor forma de agradecer el esfuerzo por ayudarte a decidir es dándole a útil en esta reseña, gracias!!
