Chefman 6-in-1 Espresso Machine with Built-In Milk Frother, 15-BAR Pump, Digital Display, One-Touch Single or Double Shot for Cappuccinos and Lattes, XL 1.8-L Water Reservoir, Stainless Steel

Update: I enjoyed this product thoroughly from January until mid April every single day 2-3 times a day. It worked perfectly up until about 2 weeks ago, the seal for the milk frother seams to no longer work so that the milk does not froth like it used to and I have to press it up against the machine to work. The electronics broke after that and it no longer lets me us the touch screen. The original on and off button works and the display lights up but it does not work. It was wonderful while it lasted and I am very disappointed that it no longer works as it made my life so much easier, especially when I would prep everything the night before. Original: I ended up getting the Krups coffee grinder and the chef man barista pro espresso machine. My only regret is that I did not do this two years ago. I had a $50 espresso machine from Walmart that worked OK but did not have an even pour and the espresso was always a little weak. The chef man was a gift, and the Krups I got to go with it so I could make sure that I had freshly ground espresso so that my coffee had the best flavor like Starbucks or Lineage or Foxtail coffee. The Krups grinder allows you to select what size you want the grounds to be for making lattes or cappuccinos do you want to make sure that it’s about the coarseness of table salt to make sure that your espresso machine gives you the best espresso. In order to make sure it was the coarseness of salt I set it on between the little dot and dash on the particle size dial of krups grinder. The grinder is easy to use, it is not insanely loud but it isn’t quite either. It is loud enough to wake up somebody if they are in an adjacent room to the kitchen. The particle sizes are about 80% consistent, which is good enough for making sure that your espresso brews well. The chef man barista pro is also not quiet by any means but it’s 25% the volume level of the screaming espresso machine with frother I had from Walmart. The chef man barista pro saves me so much time in the morning making my espresso drinks because it measures out the liquid and has a measuring scoop for the coffee I grind before I pack it into the porta filter with the easy coffee measuring scoop and tamper and brews the correct amount of water and froths the correct amount of milk. It takes about 45 seconds to make a latte which used to take me five minutes to set everything up and froth and heat my milk. I was a little grossed out by the milk reservoir but if you have leftover milk I put it in the fridge for a day or two. I use planet oat unsweetened oat milk with about a tablespoon or two of the planet oat oat milk creamer, but I will say the oat milk that froths the best is Califia farms oat BARISTA BLEND that comes in a little blue box. This honestly will save me so much money and will pay for itself within the first month considering how much coffee I’ve been getting on the way to work or having delivered home with uber eats. The chef man barista pro espresso machine did have a little bit of a plastic chemical smell. I cleaned it really well with a straw pipe cleaner and dawn powerwash and I ran it outside probably 20 or 30 times over the course of a couple hours to get rid of the smell to make sure it was safe to have in the house as I have multiple pet birds who can actually be killed by the chemical coating left on during the manufacturing process (this is not to be confused with Teflon although it does kill your bird similar to Teflon with how it causes pneumonia and respiratory failure where they “randomly” drop dead two weeks later ) on some of the kitchen machines. The KRUPS grinder did not have a smell. Overall I’m pretty pleased and have been happily getting jacked up on unlimited lattes. I will update this review in six months or a year if anything goes wrong as long as I do not explode my heart from all the delicious espresso drinks I’m drinking now.

I loved it, the coffee was super delicious, I really wanted to have it and it exceeded my expectations

I would NOT recommend this product at all. It is definitely not worth the money. The machine is very temperamental and will never offer up a consistent pour. Sometimes your beverage will not have enough froth, other times it will pour too much. Forget the fact that you are rolling the dice on whether or not that froth will be hot/cold. Because of the inconsistencies in the pours, you will not be able to walk away from this machine. If you do, you risk your cup over flowing and coming back to a huge mess to clean up. The last complaint that I have, is that while the buttons give the machine a sleek look, they are very poorly placed. You have to use caution with hand placement when removing the portafilter. Because of the location of the buttons and how sensitive they are, it is VERY easy to bump one of the buttons leaving you scrambling to shut the machine off before coffee/water/froth starts shooting out everywhere. Oh, I almost forgot, sometimes the machine does not turn on at all. I missed the cut-off date to return this item using amazon and am now I am left with having to fight with the actual company. I honestly do not have the time or desire to do that. I will never purchase from Chefman again AND would recommend that you avoid them as well.

I've been using this for about a month. I work as a barista. Maybe if you're more particular about your espresso and foam, you wouldn't like this. But I think for most people's purposes, it does the job well. It doesn't pull ristretto or long shots. The foam often comes out a bit more bubbly than I'd like. But I'm not too particular and often in a rush, so the fact that you don't have to stand there and stream the milk is super convenient. Plus, it's less messy. The shots it pours are perfect to me, they have the right consistency and there are distinct layers to it (like crema). Overall I'm happy, I think for the price this is a good machine.

Estoy muy satisfecho con la Máquina de café espresso Chefman. Desde que la recibí, he estado experimentando con diferentes tipos de bebidas, y no puedo estar más contento con los resultados. Esta máquina es ideal para quienes disfrutan preparar un buen café en casa y quieren algo versátil que permita hacer desde un espresso clásico hasta capuchinos y lattes con calidad comparable a la de una cafetería. El espresso que prepara es excelente: el sabor es rico, con un buen cuerpo y una capa de crema que queda perfecta. Además, el vaporizador para la leche es increíblemente eficiente. Espuma la leche de manera rápida y uniforme, logrando una textura ideal para capuchinos y lattes. Esto ha sido un gran plus, ya que no todas las máquinas en este rango de precio tienen un espumador tan eficaz. El diseño de la máquina es elegante y moderno, lo que la hace lucir muy bien en la cocina. Su tamaño es compacto, por lo que no ocupa demasiado espacio, algo que siempre agradezco en un electrodoméstico. También es bastante intuitiva de usar, incluso si no tienes experiencia previa con máquinas de espresso. El único detalle que noté es que es un poco ruidosa al funcionar, especialmente durante el proceso de extracción del café o al usar el espumador. No es algo que me moleste demasiado, pero es importante mencionarlo por si prefieres aparatos más silenciosos. En cuanto a la relación calidad-precio, creo que está muy bien. Ofrece un rendimiento excelente para su precio, y la calidad de las bebidas que prepara justifica totalmente la inversión. Ahora puedo disfrutar de mis cafés favoritos sin salir de casa. En resumen, la Máquina de café espresso Chefman es una opción fantástica para cualquier amante del café que busque comodidad y calidad en un solo producto. Si puedes pasar por alto el ruido, es una compra que recomiendo completamente.

If you follow the instructions you shouldn’t have any issues. It is loud but I really like the full automatic push button selection including a button for self cleaning saves me the trouble after a latte. You need short but wide coffee cups. We have only used it twice so far and it’s easy to clean. Some of the reviews stated that theirs broke down after a few months so we shall see. I didn’t want to spend a lot of money for an espresso/latte machine because I wanted to see if I would use it and I am not an espresso guru. I just wanted something different in the morning that wasn’t too much trouble. When you start your latte be aware that there is a lag time between the time you touch the button and it begins to froth etc. just wait a minute.

Excelente producto me encanta

Machine worked fine for just under a year, a plastic piece broke off the milk dispenser so I was no longer able to make cappucino, I came back from vacation and put in a claim March 18th 19th, took weeks to hear back from them, they then asked for pictures videos of the problem, it is quite clear what was wrong with it, now been weeks again and still not heard back, have sent several messages. Their initial response in 3rd week of March was that they were clearing up Xmas backlog, are u kidding me 3 months cleaning up xmas backlog. Have not been able to have the coffee I desire most for almost 2 months now, this was not a cheap coffee maker. Their service is terrible. I would not recommend buying from this company.
