Does it grind the beans and automatically measure the correct amount

I use it with finely ground fresh coffee beans and it helps me a great cup of espresso right at home.

I recommend using high quality whole beans and grinding them yourself right before using, but this advice would hold true for any coffee maker

Grind my coffee beans, measure the water and fill it up in the back (make sure to pour extra money for frothing of milk)

Also the espresso is nice strong, especially with our fresh ground beans

Then while attempting to clean up broken glass all over my kitchen counter and floor so my family or furbabies don't get punctured from this CHeapINA made terrorista (not barista) espresso destroyer the gd funnel (which cannot be put down after stamping or your expensive grinded espresso beans will all fall over and out) completely popped (actually it fricken blew off

I ground up my beans ahead of time so coffee making in the morning is simple, fast, and delicious

I don't buy expensive coffee beans or grind my own coffee

I used starbucks dark roast beans,finely ground at home and the flavor was absolutely wonderful

Grind your beans to the right size (preferably a burr grinder that you can adjust) and you should have no trouble making a fine brew

The ground bean holder is very difficult to lock in place!

Make sure to really grind your beans!

Just make sure you're using a good quality whole bean coffee and a burr grinder for the best results.

After grinding my own espresson beans, I love how easy it is to switch from the espresso pouring into the cup and beginning to steam your milk for a capuccino

There isn't a grinder with it but the nice people at Starbucks ground my beans for me

This is a simple espresso maker to use, very inexpensive for the quality of the results, and it yields great espresso when I use good beans.

First 2 day recommendation is to buy with confidence for newbies especially as so easy to use and clean.

For such a low price I honestly did not expect the machine to perform nearly as well as it has

I could see issues with it clogging the seal and making it leak as when it's not tampered well

It is super easy to use as well as to clean (dishwasher safe)

Really loved it at first as it was easy to use and made a good latte

This " espresso" machine may qualify as the most poorly made thing I have ever purchased.
