Review on ☕ Wirsh Espresso Machine - Premium 15 Bar Espresso Maker with Milk Frother and Removable Water Tank - Perfect for Latte, Cappuccino, and Exquisite Coffee by Bill Maki

Revainrating 5 out of 5

LOVE the frothy result!

This Wirsh Expresso machine is the best of the three I have ever owned. I did quite a bit of research and read a lot of reviews on b4 and settled on this one. My first was a pretty good car I bought from Starbucks many years ago. Eventually it started leaking so I replaced it with a cheap Bella that did the job. Both previous machines had an automatic brew shut-off, while the Wirsh doesn't. But because I know that, I don't go (so as not to be distracted = catastrophe); I toggle the button from the "cup" brew icon to the black dot (brew off) when my cup is full enough. The lack of auto shut off is a very minor issue as I want to drink b4 espresso when it cools down. I am very happy with the foamy, professional looking result. I drank Starbucks Americano Plain Doubleshots in a can and added my Silk Creamer. But 4 packs of Doubleshot disappeared from Chicago market so I decided to buy another express car and save some money. I am very satisfied with the quality of Wirsh. It has 2 drip spouts in case you want to accurately meter 2 shots, which is cool and professional. The water tank can be easily removed, filled and safely reinserted. The machine looks amazing, easy to set up and use. Haven't tried the breast pump yet. To get the flavor, which I like to try to replicate the taste of Starbucks espresso, I use Verona Whole Grain Ground from @Starbucks Caffe (which has less dark roast caffeine and a more bitter taste than Americano BTW). Today I placed 1 teaspoon of Organic Coconut Palm Sugar, 1/2 tablespoon of Ghirardelli's Double Chocolate Cocoa Blend in a b4 brew cup, then added 1-2 tablespoons of Silk Caramel Almond Creamer. It came out delicious and fun! Today I noticed a few fingerprints on the side of the stainless-steel-like plastic, but they were easily removed with the harmless ECOS Parsley Cleaner, which is also available from smile.amazon or @Whole Foods.
