    STARESSO Portable Espresso Machine - Manual Espresso with Rich & Thick Crema, Mini Coffee Maker Using Ground Coffee & Nespresso Pods, Handy Espresso Maker for Travel Camping Office Home Use

    • Nice defined crema and super easy to use
    • It is a brilliantly designed product that creates a decent shot with good crema, but it broke after only a month of use
    • and I love how compact and easy to use it is and the thick crema it makes.
    • Lastly, the shot it makes, while neat looking at first, with all its cool crema, is a lie
    • I wanted something that was a step up from my aeropress that could give me good crema
    • Nice crema, nice flavor
    • I was skeptical about how the espresso would taste, but the espresso has good flavor with a nice crema.
    • Prior to failure I very much liked the quality of espresso, good crema strong single shot
    • Very easy to use, I finally get that crema, and my coffee beans have never produced such tasty espresso
    • When it worked it produced a nice shot with good crema
    • I have no idea how many bars of pressure it creates, but I do know the end result is a rich, dark cup of espresso with adequate crema
    • I love the crema, the taste, and the ease of use
    • Sometimes there's good crema on top other times barely any

    • The crema on top is so delicious and the nespresso pods work great in the statesso
    • I used freshly ground Peet's coffee and was able to pull an amazing shot of espresso with wonderful crema!
    • Every shot of espresso made with this always has always come out good with a great crema
    • i enjoy the process of making espresso as a critical part of the consumption experience, and this manual portable maker supports that perspective - take your time, use firm yet patient pressure on the plunger, and then sit back and sip the delicious dark liquid with a lovely crema.
    • It was excellent, good crema, etc, but didn't quite have the true espresso flavor.
    • The crema on the Fiamma and the crema on the Staresso were indistinguishable.
    • I'm honestly surprised at how well constructed this is and it makes a decent espresso, crema and all
    • Quality of shot (pretty decent shot-- decent crema from the pressurized filter-- not the best but surely not even close to the worst)3
    • Great crema, nice flavor, EASY!
    • The espresso is not much different from the one in my Delonghi (same 15-bar pressure), with nice crema and delicious body and taste
    • It makes a decent cup with a nice crema
    • I noticed that one of the machines makes fantastic crema and other doesn't make any
    • I also like that you can see the lovely crema as you push.
    • , it’s rich and it produces a delicious crema
    • Consistent flavor and quality - GREAT CREMA
    • I have used it twice with two different coffee blends and grinds and both times it produced very good expresso with good crema.
    • You can get some very good coffee with really nice crema if you do it right
    • Produces a good double shot with decent crema
    • The espresso pulled from this device is perfection from the sharp taste of the coffee to the thick sweet crema formed on top of the drink
    • This one does, however, inject a lot of air into the water which makes for good crema.
    • Very easy to use and creates a great crema topped expresso
    • Nice crema on top
    • And the Crema it produces is beautiful
    • It did produce a really nice crema tho.
    • It produces a lovely crema
    • Also, the crema was not all that great, but better than the aeropress I had before
    • The espresso shot has great crema
    • Rich creamy crema, robust heart and excellent flavor
    • Pre-warming the glass and pre-warming the unit gives you the perfect temperature on your coffee, improves the smooth, rich, thick crema, and the resulting flavor matches those expensive space-hogging machines
    • Works well and makes good espresso - not as good as with a standard espresso machine, but very enjoyable.
    • At first I loved this espresso maker, and if it continued to work as it did originally I would give 5 stars
