TuniE2 58mm Espresso Machine 20Bar Espresso Maker, Dual Boiler Coffee Maker with 10mm Steam Milk Frother, Semi-automatic Coffee Machine with UKLA Pump for Espresso,Cappuccino, Gift for Coffee Lover

Have been looking for a machine for sometime now, and after seeing some reviews I took a chance on this one. Couldn’t be happier.The Tuni E2 came packaged securely and rather beautifully. It comes with everything you need to get started pulling a really nice shot. The E2 has a relatively small footprint so it fits just about anywhere in my kitchen. The suction cup feet are appreciated and help quite a bit as the portafilter can be a little tight to fit and remove, but I still need to keep a good grip on the side of the machine when doing so. The machine itself is light weight with a plastic body and I’m interested to see how it hold up over time, but as of right now I have no complaints. It seems to be a pretty solid build and looks pretty in my kitchen. It does have a nice metal group head for those wondering.That being said the E2 comes with a wonderful portafilter. Hefty, solid, and a firm fitting set of baskets that will go nowhere when knock out the pucks. Though it comes two different basket sizes for single and double shots, I have only used the double. The single holds my paper filters quite well at the tamping station though.The tamper is absolutely gorgeous for something that comes stock with the machine, wood handle with a great feel and decent weight to it. Pleasantly surprised by this.The bean scoop and leveler is the only….eh thing that was supplied stock. But even being kinda light weight plastic and awkward it has become my go to for getting beans out of the little designer bags for weighing out my brew each morning as the handle is quite long enough to make it pretty useful as the bag gets lower.The machine warms up quickly, and I’m impressed with the easy to adjust the temperature settings between the stock setting of medium, low and high heat. The ease and ability to program in a custom brew time is also handy.It only took pulling a few shots to dial this machine in and gain familiarity with what to adjust when rotating out to new beans and different grinds.The steam wand is impressive as is the milk pitcher that comes stock with it. While the pressure here is unadjustable, the output is impressive and after learning to work fast I’ve been creating some really glorious textures in my milk foam.I have been able to register the machine with Tuni but hope I never need to use the warranty. The manual does also come with some parts lists should things need repair. Again I hope this is never needed. Customer support has been in touch since receiving the machine with tips, and assuring my user satisfaction. At the moment I feel confident that that, should a problem arise, I have a good source for reconciling it.All in all this is a five star machine easily worth twice the cost. I’m incredibly happy that I took the chance. If you are looking for an amazing espresso machine at what seems to be a very budget friendly cost this is it.

When the machine first arrived, I mistakenly assumed that the brewhead was a standard 58mm E61 and tried to use an E61 portafilter (2 ear) on the 3-ear 58mm Tuni E2. Tuni customer service could not have been more helpful and understanding; they were ready to send me a nearly-new replacement, free, before a buddy and I got the E61 portafilter off the machine.Note that the add-on Tuni bottomless 58mm portafilter will take an E61 21g basket, but it won't fit on the brewhead. The 19g Tuni 58mm basket does fit the portafiler and works fine in the machine. The only reason the machine does not get a 5/5 is the non-standard brewhead. If you don't already have other portafilters/baskets already, that won't matter.As long as you use Tuni E2 accessories, the machine is great. It's smaller than my old Gaggia Classic Pro and has a very nice modern look. The water tank is larger than the one on the Gaggia and easier to remove if you want to fill it at the sink,There is a button that will dispense a 75ml double shot and stop automatically. You can change the volume of the automatic double shot, or you can use the button that starts and stops the water manually. You can also change the default water temp if you want to; I have no need. The steam tube pivots in two directions making it easy to dispense steam into the drip tray before and after frothing the milk; it has a nice heat-proof handle, too.The machine makes great coffee either with the standard portafilter with two dispensers (use the automatic double shot button and fill two single-shot cups) and a 19g basket, or a bottomless portafilter with the same basket. I think the coffee is slightly better with the bottomless portafilter, but the difference isn't much.A really nice feature is the pressure gauge; it will show you clearly if you have a good balance of grind size, dose, and tamp or if you need to adjust those for a slower or faster brew.You can in theory dispense hot water from the steam tube but not much at a time before the machine stops to heat more water. It's easier to get hot water for tea from the microwave or a kettle on the stove.Overall, it's a great machine, easy to use, that doesn't take up much counter space and the price is great.

I couldn’t be happier with my choice of an espresso machine—it has a solid, professional feel and delivers exactly what I was looking for. I chose it because it has a double boiler, an Italian pump, and a built-in gauge to help dial in the espresso shots. It’s also compact enough to fit perfectly in my apartment, and I’ve found it’s really easy to clean, which is a big bonus.The double boiler was a must for me. I was tired of waiting around for machines to reheat while steaming milk. With this one, there’s no waiting, no pausing—it just works, flawlessly, from start to finish.At first, I thought the pressure gauge wasn’t working properly. I contacted Tuni’s support, and they quickly explained that my coffee grind might be too coarse. Turns out they were right. My Cuisinart Burr Grinder couldn’t grind fine enough for proper espresso, even on its #1 setting. I tested some Greek coffee (super fine grind), and suddenly the gauge was working exactly as it should.So, I picked up the Tuni G1 Coffee Grinder and it’s been perfect. I keep it on the #4 setting, and now the shots I’m pulling are smooth, rich, and creamy. The difference is incredible.All in all, this machine has completely impressed me. For everything it offers, I honestly don’t think there’s a better value out there.I just wish I could give it 6 stars!Update: I've had the machine now for over 4 months and I still feel the same about it since giving the review above. I bought a water distiller from Amazon also, and so distilled water is all I ever use in it. This espresso maker is worth twice as much and more than what Tuni is asking for it.
