Never had an espresso maker before but this is easy to use and works great.

This espresso machine is compact, easy to use, and delivers a delicious taste every time. Upon arrival, the machine needs to be thoroughly cleaned before use. The frothing arm is short but I appreciate the removable sleeve. This is a great machine because you don't have to do too much to set up. The pressure meter is set up and ready, no calibration necessary.

This machine has ruined me, in the best way. As someone who has never used an espresso machine, it was fairly easy to do for the first time - with instructions in hand. The milk steamer takes a little while and requires some patience. Overall this is my new summer iced coffee machine.

Having never owned one of these before, this is just our best ability to evaluate. First, for home use, very durable, should last forever. Like the drip tray for coming out for easy cleaning. Pretty cool that it has a foaming wand too! My husband loves his coffee, even watches youtube videos about coffee related things, so if he is happy, then I'm happy! And I have to admit, as a lover of a little coffee with my cream and sugar, the espresso from this machine tastes pretty good! I may be a convert yet!

This is a pretty good espresso machine for the price. While it is plastic, it doesn’t look cheap. All two of the functions (make espresso, make steam) work well. It is very easy to use. I’ve found that it occasionally rattles the cup off of the drip platform, so I wouldn’t walk away when it is dispensing. If you are expecting a high end espresso experience, this isn’t it. That stated, for the price, this is a great machine that would go well in an office.

I am by no means an espresso aficionado, but this little machine makes a what I believe is a good cup or two of espresso. The unit is compact 11 3/8 in tall, 12 1/8 in deep and 5 3/8 in wide including the 1/2 in steam knob. These are not the same dimensions in the advertisement. The instruction are easy to follow addressing the basic functions.

We wanted to upgrade our coffee game in our office, but only have a little bit of space left on the kitchen counter that this machine tucks into nicely. The setup was simple and after running a few runs of just water to clean out the machine we loaded it up with espresso and set to work making some afternoon lattes for the office. We were pleasantly surprised with how much pressure this little machine builds, you get a proper shot of espresso out of the machine and there is sufficient steam to drive the wand and froth up your milk.

I have never had an espresso maker before, so this took a little getting used to, for me. While I was generally able to figure it out, the instructions are kind of lacking. To the company: You may want to add further helpful info, especially for novices like me.

This espresso machine did a much better job than I was expecting it to. To preface this review, I currently own a Breville Barista 870 XL, which cost about 600-700 dollars and is what I would consider to be a top tier espresso machine. I got this Ihomekee espresso machine so that I can have an espresso machine for my office at work and figured I would like to try out a smaller machine that would hopefully be much less expensive than the Breville. It's important to know that you need a standalone grinder or pre ground espresso beans to utilize this machine. For the price point that is understandable.

Just used it and it’s OK. I wish it was a bit smaller given my space. Still trying to figure out the froth attachment. Holds enough water to make several cups. I like the accessories to help press the coffee. If you overfill it, it will not properly lock. Use a coffee grinder for the best dark flavor. The unit heats up quickly. It’s an OK unit as a beginner.
