I got the Stainless Steel Barista Espresso Tamper 51mm Base and it works great

I wanted to upgrade to a semi automatic stainless steel

Oh yes, but the BlueSnail Stainless Steel coffee tamper.

I have some stainless steel cappuccino cups that are not very large, and they don't fit in this machine (see attached image)

Proper measurement and tamping are definitely needed for your filter holder to easily slide/lock into place.3-Definitely purchase a good, stainless steel milk frothing pitcher.

Pump Espresso Machine, Stainless Steel

The included tamper is pretty much a joke, I bought a stainless steel one and it worked better

I decided to order this model rather than ones at 1/2 the price because of the slim design, the stainless steel body (rather than plastic like the cheaper ones) and a review I saw online.

BlueSnail Stainless Steel Coffee

Pump Espresso Machine, Stainless Steel, had the potential to be a good machine

The stainless steel is amazing

Once it is coming out as straight steam, you can switch to your stainless steel putcher with mild

Nothing to dislike - I have it for over a year, I use it dai - I typically use ESE Espresso Pods including Illy Dark Roast for a well-balanced espresso and Lucaffe' Lucaffeina Pulcinella for a complex stronger espresso - North and south italian espresso styles - Awesome looking in Stainless Steel - one of the smallest machine perfect for that small apt kitchen

What I like about this:- Mostly steel construction, as opposed to other makers that have a lot of plastic which scratches easily and doesn't wear as

So I turn off the machine and restart it, then take off the outer stainless steel cover and inner rubber spout and rinse them both to make insure there is not a clog

Not that it doesn't work, but a stovetop steamer like the  European Gift 50SS Cappuccino Steamer, Stainless Steel  is infinitely superior in terms of ease of use, repeatable results, and the ability to make drinks continuously

I ordered a BlueSnail Stainless Steel tamper for $12.50ish.

Cleaning is what you'd imagine it to be, stainless steel surfaces so cleans easily

It goes nicely with our stainless steel appliances

not just any, it needs to be a good one, one with stainless steel burrs, not plastic

It's simple to use, makes an excellent espresso, has a small footprint and the stainless steel finish looks great on my counter

I did this and stainless steel became iodized, turning the metal into a chalky, tinny substance

The filter holder is NOT stainless steel but aluminum; if it bends, or dents you will not be able to set the filter in place for brewing...period.4-Work on/have fun with steaming & frothing your milk.

Small footprint on counter and in stainless steel looks like a high end machine.

Very fast, Powerful steam, Very high quality, Sufficient foam, Nice design, Prestigious steel body

It should be completely stainless steel

You see so many huge brushed stainless steel contraptions that are so large and bulky

I did also buy a knock box a coffee tamper and a small stainless steel cream frother...... along with lots and lots of LavAzza coffee .

I've ordered and received a very nice, heavy stainless steel tamper from Amazon for less than $20 that is FAR better, more comfortable to hold and use, and is shiny stainless steel which matches the machine, AND is just short enough to fit on the cup tray when not in use...making a nice looking set

BUT if you remove the stainless steel nozzle you can actually just use the rubber tip and get better results.

The machine has the stainless steel gleam.
