CASABREWS 3700 Essential 20Bar Espresso Coffee Machines with Milk Frother

I bought this coffee machine for the second time. The first one is still working and is great. And the second one I bought for work. This machine is great. Easy to use. It has 20 bars of pressure which makes it a very effective coffee machine. Coffee from this machine is tasty and very hot. The look is modern and does the job. Of course, not everyone has to like it. But I like it. Easy to fill, easy to use. It has a function of heating the cup with steam before use. It has a function for making small and large coffee. Although for me there should also be a function for very large coffee. I use large coffee cups and here to fill such a cup I have to repeat the process of filling my cup. But this is not a disadvantage. From the less pleasant things I can say that the machine is quite loud during operation. But what other machine is not? The money I paid for it is very acceptable. It does not cost millions of coins like machines from the competition. I recommend this machine to anyone who does not need hundreds of functions and displays in their coffee machine. This coffee maker makes great coffee and doesn't cost much.

Bought this as my expensive Sage coffee machine is broken and awaiting repair. I looked up best buy coffee machines and this one was on the list. I couldn’t believe the price, it was cheaper than my Sage machine by a factor of 10 … ten times cheaper. At first glance you can tell this is built to a price. It feels flimsy and the portafilter, coffee baskets etc are very lightweight; I think some kind of alloy has been used for some components. After a “dial in” using my favourite coffee I pulled a few espresso shots and was pleasantly surprised by the results. The coffee tasted as good as my more expensive Sage machine! I also made a couple of latte drinks using the steam output to steam milk to 70c, again the end result, although not as good as the Sage this time, was very passable for a machine that’s a fraction of the cost. I think at this price the machine is a bargain! The machine itself has a premium look, being a combination of brushed and polished steel, it doesn’t look out of place sitting on the kitchen counter. Like all coffee machines the pump can be a bit noisy and the steam wand gets very hot, I made the mistake of brushing my hand against the steam wand and have a burn to prove it. There is no “auto purge” on the steam wand so you must remember to run a bit of steam through the wand once you have finished using it to avoid blockages. I like this machine, great value for money, makes good coffee and steams milk fairly well! Only time will tell if it will last but so far, so good.

I like the slim design which fits so well into my kitchen. Was working well before but after two years of use, it started to not working well. I use it only infrequently, but still. First the water go very slowly and only very little coffee came out. And the steam also became very weak. I wonder if that is the descaling issue, but even after descaling, it was still not working. And finally after trying everything, it totally stop working. Since it already pass the warrantly, sadly this has to go. After second thought, I could have used a bean to cup coffee machine so that freshly grounded coffee can be use. Also 20 bar may be a bit too much so I will use a 15bar next time. This is not a bad machine, the coffee was good and the design is nice. The manual has clear instructions with pictures which is easy to understand. Only that it did not last too long. Now I really need to get a another coffee machine.

This is a fantastic coffee machine, makes the best coffee and perfect milk. It is outstanding and the company is easy, kind and helpful to deal with. An exceptional coffee machine at an exceptional price, worth every penny.

Having used this for nearly 6months I can say I'm really impressed... Easy to use, easy to fill with water, easy to clean. I like the automatic shut off ( I make my coffee- drink it- wash the cup- put cup back on top of warmer) then approx 2-3mins machine beeps and turns off having dried the remaining moisture left by washing Machine comes with single & double shot metal filter thingy, and dosing spoon/ compressing tool... All you need is ground coffee! I love watching the coffee getting dispensed... It's like watching a Guinness being poured as it settles - jet black with a 10mm cream head then the aromatics hit you.. Mine is stainless steel construction, so looks the part and is simple to clean. Price was an investment for me at at time of purchase reviews were mixed - so a bit of a punt on my part.. However- I needn't of worried this machine is worth every penny. The taste/ flavour it extracts from the beans is excellent - when compared to 'coffee shops'.. and when you consider how much you pay at those places- this pays for itself in the 1st month... No regrets- no complaints from me

Update! 5 stars! Emailed the support team and they agreed to send a replacement. It’s arrived, just 3 days after they agreed to replace it and I’m enjoying a lovely coffee. Great customer service! The last machine lasted just over a year but I used it at least 4 times a day, often more and I hope the new one will last the same again, at least. Great customer service! While it’s disappointing to have to get a replacement, this machine gives me a ‘proper coffee’ experience from my home, which living in a rural area is amazing. All the other machines in this price range also have mixed reviews so I’ll stick with the devil I know and hopefully enjoy another year, at least, of delicious coffee! ——————————————————— Original review - 1 star * Bought this just over a year ago, have used it at least four or five times a day and was working brilliantly until yesterday. Now makes a burning smell when I turn it on and won’t work so I guess that’s that. Pretty sure it’s outside of warranty so I won’t be able to get a replacement disappointing as it was working perfectly for the whole year and as I say, I use it multiple times a day, thank God I had a backup coffee maker otherwise this morning would’ve been stressful without coffee!

Bought this a few months ago like the slim line look and it’s easy to use however the milk steamer stopped working, followed instructions for cleaning but nothing worked so I’ve returned it.

This has been a great little machine but after making 2 coffees a day for 18 months it's given up. The steam wand leaks loads and now the water won't pour through the espresso section. I got a guy to tighten it up which worked for about 2 weeks and now it's back to pouring all water through the wand. My friends machine is a little older than mine and totally fine though so it might just be bad luck
