Bellissimo Semi-Automatic Espresso Machine & Frother
Product details
Web ID: 13169260Great beginner machine
Overall I'm super happy with my machine. Makes beautiful espresso and is very easy to use. I'm a super beginner in the espresso hoddy, and for me the built-in grinder is completely sufficient. Can definitely notice that you don't have infinite options for dialing in - but I wouldn't expect that to begin with. That would be a reason to buy a dedicated grinder - but for a first espresso machine and to just figure everything out I couldn't be happier.

When it works, it works great. This is our second machine because as you can see from other reviews, it will eventually start leaking everywhere and there is nothing you can do about it. It doesn’t matter if you just emptied the water catching tray, it will still leak. The grinder gets clogged at least once every two weeks. They need to work out some of these kinks before continuing to sell them for the price they are selling them at. We have been through two now and both are faulty. We will be moving on to another kind of

Leaks water everywhere.
I wanted to love this appliance because it was nice and should have lasted. Unfortunately, this is the second one I’ve had and it has leaked all over our counter top. Cafe replaced my first one after 11 months because it leaked everywhere, then told me that the second one they sent me had only the warranty left that my original machine did. It started leaking after one month of having it and this one is honestly worse, it’s all over our counter and happens every time I use it now. It’s not broken, doesn’t need descaled, and I can’t find any cracks or leaks. I’m disappointed in the product and feel like it’s a complete waste of money because I would feel bad selling it to someone and replacing it as it leaks so much. I’m basically at ground zero buying a new machine and it won’t be a cafe one.

We hear your concerns about excess water, and we'd like to help. We encourage you to check that the pull-out tray is empty and properly installed, as both situations could explain the leak you're experiencing. For assistance locating the drip tray, please see the diagram on page 7 of the Use and Care Manual (https://products-salsify.geappliances.com/image/upload/s--GWbCuBpa--/3cdb7360844b44325254b4aadd448110ca83e662.pdf). If these tips don't solve the issue you're experiencing, please call our service team at 833-426-3393 (Monday – Friday: 8 a.m. – 8 p.m. ET; Saturday – Sunday: Closed) for further assistance.
Beautiful design, could use some improvements
It is beautiful, lovely and I enjoy the espresso/coffee it makes. The latte frother can be really loud and after two weeks the coffee burr has already jammed with coffee. Once I knew how to fix it, it wasn’t bad to do so. However, I had it on the suggested grinding and I don’t think it should get clogged so early in use.

Want it to work.
The machine is beautiful and goes great with all other Cafe appliances, so I want to love it too! However, the grinder stopped working after 3 days of using it. I followed all the recommended steps but didn’t fix the problem. I just received a replacement machine and really want it to work. If the issue persists I may try the Cafe automatic Affetto machine.
