Tuni E2 58mm Espresso Machine 20Bar Espresso Maker, 𝐃𝐮𝐚𝐥 𝐁𝐨𝐢𝐥𝐞𝐫 Coffee Maker with 10mm Steam Milk Frother, Semi-automatic Coffee Machine with UKLA Pump for Espresso, Gift for Coffee Lover

Great product - stylish looking, compact, and capable of producing consistently good espresso. You can monitor the pressure to ensure that it falls within the range of well-extracted coffee. More highlights: a 58mm heavy duty portafilter, dual boiler, heavy tamper, two endings for the steamer, and all this for a great price.

Don’t get me wrong. I knew this was a cheap espresso machine but still the specs are impressive. 58mm, double boiler, etc. I thought I had found a little jewel to have fun with, but no cigar. After several attempts during a couple days, I couldn’t get not even a finished product. This thing kept dying on me, with overheating issues and just to clarify, I’m not a beginner in the espresso world. I’ve owned Breville machines and currently I have a Rocket Giotto at home. I kept trying with different grind levels, going to coarser settings to try and help the Tuni to at least finish 1 espresso, but no. It continued to turn itself off and not working. So frustrating. Had to send it back. Did I have bad luck and got a faulty unit? Maybe, but for now I’ll stay away from their coffee machines. It’s a pity as they have good grinders. I have 2 g1s that I use for pour over workflows (V60 or Chemex).

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.

The Tuni espresso machine is great. I ordered. I ordered two other espresso machines and they do not compare to this Tuni. It’s a pretty powerful machine. Everything is such quality. The handle where the espresso goes is heavy espresso comes out hot. And it comes out pretty quickly with without making too much noise once the machine is preheated. I noticed in other machines they were super loud. This one is not so much. The only issue I have is putting in the filters and taking them out. It’s a very tight fit.Also, I didn’t see it in the instructions when you initially set up, make sure you remove the red cover under the water tank. Or else the machine will not start.

Great value for the price. Lots to appreciate. Love the double boiler concept, it does speed up the latte process. Love the portafilter feel. Enough interfaces to customize the brewing and frothing processes. Though it is compact, it is stable. The water tank is easy to remove and refill. Very thoughtfully designed, and I'm hoping the build quality compliments that.Beware of how tight the espresso baskets fit in the portafilter. Fingernails can be broken. There is a bit more after brewing dripping than I would like to see. A three-way solenoid valve would be appreciated, but then we end up at a different price point. Also, I probably use a non-traditional amount of milk in my lattes, so the included frothing pitcher is a bit too small. Wonder of wonders, I have a bigger one in my cupboard; situation resolved.

When this thing doesn’t “pop” it’s good. If I grind to espresso settings on the grinder that come with it and I fill to normal dose levels 17-18g then the shots almost never pull clean. The pressure builds and the portafilter or gasket or whatever pops and water shoots out the back.If you do a course grind and low dose the thing then it works. So it’s not really pulling espresso shots. It’s like strong coffee.So if you want weak espresso or strong coffee this is your machine.Basically I consider this thing useless and it collects dust because I cannot justify selling it to someone else with it like this. Feel like a just wasted money.I’ve had this thing for nearly a year so yes I’ve tired everything.

For the price point, this is an acceptable machine, however it does fall a little bit short on pressure control. This will make acceptable espresso and steam milk though. However it doesnt properly control pump pressure to an acceptable range. I'm not sure what the pump is set to deliver to the a group via its opv system, but it seems like it might be the entire 20 bar. The pressure blows through through the puck and group pressure cannot be maintained at what should be an acceptable grind setting. Using my Niche zero grinder I have to adjust the grinder down at least 3 settings from what settings I use for my Delitta Bello.The output temperature is also low, even set to the high temp setting. This may be attributed to a low group temperature, but I have confirmed that. Might be better after a few warming shots.The wand is also a bit on the shorter side, would have liked it to be longer to make for easier steam jug placement control. The machine comes with two nozzle tips. Use the double hole nozzle tip. The single hole is to much velocity, not enough flow, pressure, or heat. The vortex moves to fast and doesn't heat or add air sufficiently.admittedly I am spoiled with higher quality machines, I got this for a short stint away from home, and it is adequate to the task, but it isnt what it sells itself as.

Nice little machine! Our last machine broke so we tried this one. Delicious latte's! Attractive, easy to use, warms up quickly.Will continue to brew at least 4 daily as long as this machine is mine.

Pedí la cafetera esperando funcionara a la perfección debido al precio. Sin embargo la aguja del barómetro no funcionó. Sin este aditamentos es imposible saber la presión de extracción del café. He realizado una devolución.
