The crema isn't really great, but it brews an amazing cup of espresso and froths milk beautifully

I was searching for a machine that could be modified easily into a something that could effectively deliver consistent 28(ish)-second double shots with about 16g of coffee in, and roughly 40ml of espresso out, with decent crema (depending on origin, roast, grind, etc.), at what I would consider a tasty temperature for extraction

Make a great shot with wonderful crema

I was skeptical at first, but honestly I was surprised at how well it produces crema

The crema is so good my friends often think I've frothed milk

Every single time I got great crema and incredibly weak espresso

It works fast, with great crema!

Frothing and steaming the milk is simple and super fast with this machine, and the espresso shots have a gorgeous crema on top

Has a nice crema but no flavor

Delicious crema and full flavor!

Makes great espresso with nice crema

The crema is great on this machine, but the espresso is weaker than automatic drip coffee

I just bought it about a month ago, so I can't speak to durability, but following fairly simple instructions for use, I have consistently made fantastic espresso with this machine and provides enough pressure to produce a very good crema as well.

SO i went and cleaned all the parts, then, did a pre-brewing, to clean the inside parts, and then, I put the coffee in the brewing basket, and man, with little or almost no noise this little engine, produced a beautiful crema

Created beautiful crema and extremely easy to use.

I'm an espresso newbie, but it does seem to put out a nice crema.

good crema and froths thick and creamy... also very easy to clean

With 15 bars of pressure it makes some of the best crema I have seen

The crema this machine produces is incredible.

I figured since they were both made by Capresso, this EC50 would give me great espresso AND great crema

if we had to choose between a good cup of espresso with no crema and a pathetic espresso with great crema, the espresso itself would have to win out

The crema is superb
