Review on ๐Ÿบ Silver Espressione 8212S Fully Automatic Espresso Machine by Ryan Cornelison

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Nice but quirky in the kitchen and dining room

I've had this car for 7 months now and it took a while to 'dial up'. Car delivery problems. It took many rounds of different beans to get this machine to feed consistently. Problem? You can't use beans even if they are slightly oily. The bean container is so small that the beans stick and don't come out. Lavazza has excellent medium roast lean beans that work well. Costco also has a homemade organic bean mix that's delicious and has lots of cream. 2. - The waste bin sensor works very sporadically. I emptied the machine and it still fires sometimes after a shot. 3.- You must be very diligent and dry/clean your car at least weekly. Remove and rinse the brew group and allow the machine/brew group to air dry overnight. Wash all parts (except the brew group) in the dishwasher. Then I use a large fan brush (makeup brush) to sweep the car. It starts to stink if not dried. All in all a great car for the price. You will not be disappointed with the quality of the espresso. But be conscientious about the service.

Pros
  • Nice packaging
Cons
  • poorly thought out
