Gevi 15 Bar Espresso Machine with Milk Frother - Professional Cappuccino & Coffee Maker for Home Baristas - 1.5L Water Tank, 1100W, Black - Perfect for Morning Coffee, Entertaining Guests & Café-Style Drinks at Home

This is a great little coffee maker that I'm happy I stumbled upon. I was looking at other similarly priced coffee makers like Black + Decker and Mr. Coffee, but they all seem to come with a range of issues; coffee grinds in coffee from reusable filter, water overflowing and other mechanical issues.The Gevi has none of these issues. Reusable filter works perfectly, no grinds in my coffee at all. If I use the max cups of coffee, it doesn't overflow. Can't comment on the mechanical reliability, but from the reviews it seems to hold up better than other brands. On top of this, I like how compact it is, and the single-button design makes it very easy to use.I have been brewing Starbucks Verona coffee with this machine, and it tastes great, just like if you went to an actual Starbucks (I used to work there). It also comes out at the perfect temp, ready to drink. Overall, this is a simple, well-made little coffee maker that I highly recommend!This machine is easy to use and makes good shots. I had some problems at first with the shots not poring right and leaking but then I realized I had not been inserting the coffee basket correctly. Once I worked through that problem I got great shots.I warm up the milk in the microwave for a min before I use the froth feature because otherwise the foam over flows my small frothing cup before the milk is warm.I really like this machine.You can tell a lot of thought went into the making of this coffee maker from the correct angle spout on the caraffe to the mesh basket to hold the coffee and even to a little coffee scoop these people thought of everything that you would need the thing I like the most is unlike other coffee caraffe that when you're finished pouring your cup the coffee runs down the front this spout on this caraffe is that it a correct angle to remedy that situation also the type of plastic that they use is very cleanable not even water spots stick on it this is the first time I tried a gevi and I'm sold I just wanted a simple four cup coffee maker and I got so much more.Can be a little finicky at times when shots are being pulled. But this has so many options to cater to each persons desired strength of shot. Very easy to use. The milk frother can be quite loud at times. Holds a good amount of water and beans at any given time. Does not let you know that water is low in the tank.1 brewed maybe 100 cups of coffee before writing this review. I love pretty much everything about this little gizmo. The pitcher can spill a little if doing 4 full cups otherwise it doesn't. The refill lid doesn't easily stay open when pouring in water. The side charging filter holder is amazing and I have yet to have even a drop of coffee drip when the pot is removed. I like this machine so much, I just ordered another one to stay in the box for when this one dies.We have had this now for a few weeks.So far, so good.It does what it's supposed to do.Its cone-shaped reusable filter is easier to clean than others, which is a plus.Purchased as a gift for our daughter. She is happy with it so I am happy with it. I do not a a full review since I am not using it.Even when I have a full size pot I can only get one large cup of coffee in me before my work makes me forget it's there. I wasted a lot of coffee. So I got this small one. Perfectly brews my one large cup. I'm done in time for work. Rinse, dump grounds for next day prep is really easy..but...there seems to be a lot of coffee residue in the bottom of the globe. I can't stop that from happening. I dump the last bit of it out and rinse the filter holder.. still happens. Maybe I notice it more because the globe is so small.I purchased this coffee maker because it has no BPA in the plastic (supposedly) and its a good bran name. Having say so, while it looks great on the picture, it does not feel or look any different than a $20 black and decker as faras been flimsy. So overall this is just too expensive for the few features it has, and I feel I have been ripped off.Hace un café en pocos segundos, el tiempo que hay que esperar entre taza y taza es muy breve pero tira café del mezclador de vez en cuando, de ahí en mas está exelenteI like this little coffee maker.
