A struggle every morning

I got this slim cuisine, art espresso machine for Christmas and every morning I struggle with the espresso machine, putting the espresso thing on the machine so that I can go it fights with me. It doesn’t wanna lock. It doesn’t wanna turn. It is a struggle every morning.

Great starter setup

I watched and rewatched dozens of YouTube videos on the fundamentals of brewing while waiting for the Espresso Bar Slim Espresso Machine to arrive. One thing I forgot about were all the needed accessories. I ordered glasses, portafilter magnetic funnel, coffee bean dosing cup, WDT tool, a stainless steel puck screen *51mm, a solid tamp *51mm, an espresso hand grinder, a coffee scale with timer and of course some really nice coffee from a roaster in Philadelphia. This machine is so easy to use, I only use the double shot setting. Like any espresso machine, the grind is key, once I dialed that in, every cup tastes great. The puck screen I ordered keeps the brew head nice and clean. Steaming is no issue, it works just fine, I decided to order an Electric Milk Frother to make flat whites. If you want to dip your toes in this hobby, this machine gets the job done.

Great Machine

Great machine do the price. The slim design keeps it out of the way and reduces clutter. The instructions could be better along with some how to videos.

Difficult

Why is it so difficult? It takes me 20 tries to get it to work. Very cheap machine, low quality. The instruction manual was not very helpful. The steam has a weird chemical smell.

Do you want no coffee with your machine?

I got this a christmas present. I love espresso and have had other machines. This one barely drips out coffee. I have to run it multiple times to even get a double shot. I have tried programming it. Nothing works. Do not buy it.

This is a high quality home espresso machine. They only issue I have (and this could be my mistake) is that is is difficult to attach the portafilter.
