    • Easy to use and makes delicious coffee.
    • HAd to run thru twice, my drip makes better coffee.
    • I really liked this machine it made great coffee but the knob broke in less the two
    • This is a cheap little thing, basically makes strong drip coffee and has a milk steamer
    • And of course, the coffee itself came out very good, as well.
    • It worked good for a while and then one day while making the coffee all the steam started leaking through the joint between the coffee ground holder and the machine
    • Not wanting to spend a ton of money on a tamper, I simply got a sturdy glass spice jar with a flat cap to tamp the coffee with, which works well.3
    • It still makes great coffee, but without the milk steamer it's defective.
    • I love expresso coffee
    • This is the worst coffee maker I've ever had
    • Fantastic coffee
    • It will take some practice to get the milk hot enough to not cool your coffee.
    • For the price, this is an excellent value and makes good coffees
    • Anyone who buys this doesn't like coffee
    • I have never used the Bella brand before, so I placed an order (after dropping and breaking Mr. Coffee!).
    • I dont typically write reviews, but for this one, i felt i had to, as I had perfect coffee to
    • With that in mind, this unit makes a cup of good coffee in about 7 minutes.
    • At this price it is quite a deal - recouped the cost via the money saved from fancy coffee shots in no time.
    • (I don't like watery light coffee)- Easy to clean- Milk steamer works perfectly and easy to useCONS:- If you have a guest and need to brew again, you have to wait for the machine to cool down (about 10
    • but i get dark coffee
    • but i have to say it makes a decent cup of strong coffee.
    • But if you are a normal coffee addict like me, this is a huge treat you don't have to feel guilty about!
    • Can make awesome strong coffee/espresso anytime! haven't tried the milk attachment yet, but will do soon.
    • Lasted only few months, it makes a decent coffee for the price, but one day the knob to select brewing/steam just broke off unable to use it anymore
    • I love the ability to put the coffee together like a real barista
    • Nice compact machine at a good price, makes good coffee and is simple to use
    • It will still take a couple times to get the rhythm right, but it makes good coffee, and you can't beat the price
    • I like stronger coffee, and if you fill the carafe completely and fill the water until 1/2-2/3 you'll get the result
    • So, on the plus side, I got a really good cup of strong coffee
    • I like half coffee, half steamed whole
    • COFFEE, enough said !
    • It makes good quality coffee and fits nicely on the counter.
    • I just needed an inexpensive coffee maker that would make me strong coffee every morning
    • The coffee tastes great with no grounds
    • Bella, is beyond my expectations: fast, good coffee, not an inch behind the Krupps
    • Works great as an expresso machine, we cubans love our coffee.
    • If you need a simple machine to make some good coffee for you every morning, I recommend this!
    • It is somewhere between good drip coffee and quality espresso.
    • There’s no safety function to keep you from accidentally taking the portafilter off with it pressurized, so it explodes coffee everywhere
    • The Bella Expresso Maker is just right for one or two people and the coffee is decent.
    • Apexstone Coffee Tamper 49mm,Espresso Coffee Tamper 49mm
    • Small/discreet and looks great in your counter- Can make strong coffee
    • my day!I had regular Costco Columbian supreme coffee powder, it wasnt espresso level powder, I was in costco yesterday decided to take that powder and get it powdered in espresso setting and made myself first cappuccino this morning, It was fantastic
    • The coffee is hot enough for me (definitely not Starbuck's hot).
    • This makes strong coffee not espresso.
    • we make great coffee with it, only complain is that once done you need to remove the plastic cover on the steam frother and clean the stainless steel
    • Coffee too weak, try packing it little tighter
    • The coffee is hot enough for me (definitely not Starbuck's hot).
    • Instead, it tastes like strong coffee
    • It didn't work, coffee went all over the counter and floor
    • Off at college, I bought myself a Mr. Coffee espresso maker that broke within 6 months of purchase
    • Just like store bought cuban coffee
    • I bought this Expresso Maker because I'm the only person at home that drinks coffee, and I wasn't willing to spend a lot of money on an expensive coffee/expresso maker
    • First the steamer started to leak while it was heating up, causing it to make weak coffee with a little froth
    • I would drink straight over time, that I forgot how wonderful my coffee tasted since before I first got this machine.
    • I got this thing for $20, and while it doesn't produce much crema or make the best steamed milk, for $20 it made a lot better coffee than a Keurig ever could
    • Makes fantastic coffee!!
    • All in all, a great coffee brewer I'd say
    • Despite this, the coffee it makes will be cold if not consumed shortly thereafter because there is no heating plate like on a regular drip coffeemaker.
    • It makes nice strong coffee without crema but that is not what I wanted.
    • Here are the drawbacks: (1) it's hard to tell that it's on because the light is tiny, (2) it does not keep the coffee warm while you do other things
    • everything seems fine once corrected.after using this machine for two weeks I have come to the conclusion that this is the WORST coffee machine that I have ever owned
    • Great coffee- but complicated to use ---
    • , you'll learn how to use it immediately; (3) I've been using it for maybe two months now and have had no issues at all; (4) the coffee is appropriately, very hot at the time it finishes brewing.
    • Great coffee ☕️ maker ‼️
    • I had a Mr. Coffee Expresso machine and really hated the way it made the coffee taste.
    • GREAT COFFEE MAKER
    • I love this machine, best coffee ever!
    • The coffee is so weak that it is horrible; even if you reduce the water it still makes weak coffee
    • That’s my only complaint... great coffee!!!
    • Tamp the coffee to the '2' line for a double-shot (the bottom of the filter basket is about 45mm, but I suspect a 47 or 48mm tamp would be the best)
