Wirsh Espresso Machine,Espresso Maker with Commercial Steamer for Latte and Cappuccino,Expresso Coffee Machine with 42 oz Removable Water Tank,Stainless Steel (Home Barista)

This espresso maker is stylish and takes up little counter space. The water reservoir is in the back but is easy to fill so I don't see this as a real issue. If your cabinets are in the way, just slide the unit forward. The drip tray comes with a floating pin that will alert you if it is getting full. Nice feature. Better yet though the tray can be removed easily, making room for a large coffee cup if you're planning on a latte or cappuccino.
It is simple to operate but it sure helps to read the instructions. I've seen some complaints about the coffee temperature. The instructions read to warm up the unit with the portafilter in place. You can also run a cycle through it with no grounds just to get it good and hot before you add you grounds. I also pre-heat my cup and the result is a beautiful hot espresso with a nice crema.

The frothing wand is long and movable making it easy to froth your milk. I use oat milk and it is easy to froth it up and double the volume in the container. I still struggle with getting a beautiful flower pattern but that's me, not the machine!

If you want to follow up frothing with a second cup of espresso, it only takes seconds to get the temperature back down. With the espresso button flashing you simply open the frothing lever and it will drain hot water until the temperature comes down, stopping automatically. You are now ready to start your next cup.

All in all, I couldn't be happier with this machine. Works great, simple to operate, fast, and makes a great espresso!

This is such an easy to use, compact, budget friendly and sturdy espresso machine that is fully stainless steel. It’s got a sleek design and doesn’t take too much counter space.The instruction manual is clear and easy to understand. I usually let the machine warm up while I prepare the portafilter and steam milk. Water tank is detachable, makes it easy to fill it up.I’ve made so many delicious lattes with this wonderful machine, beautiful crema!

Love this machine and love this company! It’s compact and looks great on the counter. Makes the perfect espresso quickly and easily. Love the milk steamer for cappuccinos. The customer service department of this company is responsive and efficient. I just ordered three more machines for Christmas gifts and to take to our shore house. Great machine for an even better price. Very well made (not plastic junk!). I had tried two other espresso makers from other companies and returned them. After a lot of research, I settled on Wirsh….best decision ever!

Excellent quality product!

I'm an older adult that just got back from Europe where I had Capuchino for the first time every morning at small coffee shops and fell in love with it. I do fresh grind beans at home but never tried to make a Capuchino. After being home for about a month started looking for a machine to make it at home that wouldn't break the bank. After looking at many reviews we decided on the Wirsh. WOW what a great choice. It is very simple to use almost out of the box if you read the directions. The only thing that takes a little practice is foaming the milk but with a few tries we got it to where we felt it was close and possibly better than the Capuchino we loved in Europe. You will need a coffee grinder to make it work but we already had one. Could not recommend this machine more.
