Espresso Machine 20 Bar, Professional Coffee Maker Stainless Steel Espresso Maker with Power Steam & LED Display for Home Barista, Americano, Latte, Cappuccino Machine, 1.8L Water Tank

I'm writing this review while sipping on a delicious mocha latte that I just made. Cappuccinos, lattes, and espressos are so simple to make on the Sumsaty machine that it's become an enjoyable part of my morning routine, and actually helps inspire me to jump out of bed at the crack of dawn to get my day started!For several years I was getting by with a cheap espresso machine that essentially did the job, but barely. It wasn't until I started dating my new girlfriend when I noticed how subpar my coffee was tasting compared to her extremely high end machine. I knew it was time for a replacement at my house, but there was no way I was going to spend the kind of money she did on hers, which is a monstrosity that takes up a 1/3 of her counter space and probably has a dozen functions that nobody ever needs or uses. I wanted something of excellent quality at a reasonable price, and after spending a good deal of time reading numerous reviews and specifications, I settled on the Sumsaty and my mornings have been a joy ever since.Aside from the sturdy quality of the machine itself, I love how the functionality remains relatively basic. There are no unnecessary bells and whistles, but rather just a few simple features for making quality coffee beverages. Aesthetically, the chrome unit with black trim looks wonderful in my small townhouse kitchen. And it's so simple to use.The Sumsaty Espresso Machine features a large water container in the back, which lasts all week before needing a refill (my old, cheap machine needed water added with each drink made). All that is needed is to turn the power on and wait until it quickly reaches the proper brewing temperature (already preset), and then a simple push of the button (a choice between a single or double shot) for a cup of espresso. To make a cappuccino or latte, all you need to do is hit the "steam" button and wait a few seconds for it to reach a higher preset temperature, and then you can turn the knob on the side of the unit for the steam valve.Cleanup is a breeze with the stainless steel and plastic parts. As soon as I'm done frothing milk, I fill a small glass with a couple inches of water and steam that for 20 seconds to clear out the spout of any milk. Then I wipe it down and it's ready for the next round. I've really been enjoying experimenting and trying to perfect my coffee drinks each morning. There's no need to spend an incredible amount of money on a high end machine when you can achieve amazing espresso creations with the comparatively affordable Sumsaty.

Me encanta café espumoso delicioso

I purchased this machine thinking it was a great deal reading the reviews. Once I got it, the portafilter basket for a 2 cup espresso shot does not have a hole at the bottom. Usually pressurized baskets will have a hole at the bottom to release the shot. After realizing this and failing to produce a 2 cup shot, I was able to make a shot with the one cup basket, since it had the hole at the bottom.I contacted product support about this and they said they cannot replace any of the parts without a full return. I tried to buy replacement parts and wasted my time and money because there are no replacement parts anywhere on the internet or amazon for a 55mm basket. I even bought a new portafilter 54mm and tried to get it on but it would not fit and I have to return this as well.I don't know why someone would sell an espresso machine with no chance of getting replacement parts. What would happen if one of your filter baskets comes defective like mine? Never be able to produce a double shot? What would happen if one of the baskets fails over time (which is likely to happen) ? Your machine becomes useless and you cannot buy replacement baskets that fit. So while the machine works if you get it in the best condition possible and get lucky with the parts, you still have a limited amount of time before you'll have to buy a new machine anyway. I spent hours talking with product support on amazon for them to tell me about their "limitations" with returning this item, saying that I would only receive a refund within 14-30 days after they receive the product. So If I choose to return this machine I'll have to wait a long time before I can purchase a different machine while they hold my money and I have no product, which feels like a scam.You can look everywhere to find a basket that fits this portafilter and you will fail, you can try and buy a new portafilter and it will not fit. Customer support will give you the runaround and even though you bought an espresso machine you will not be making espresso for a long time.I would suggest buying a different machine but after working with amazon on this issue I would say just don't buy an espresso machine off of amazon. The quality of customer service and the return policy is so low. To clarify, all I would've needed is a replacement for my 2 cup filter basket but without it I have half of a functioning machine and I would need to wait a month to make coffee again or get any money back. Don't buy this and do your research if you want to buy any espresso machine off of amazon. I recommend Breville espresso machines.
