Review on SOWTECH Espresso Machine with Steam Milk Frother, Cappuccino Maker - 3.5 Bar Latte Coffee Machine by Anthony Parker

Feels like cheap plastic, probably because most of it is. I liked the idea of a thermometer on the front, but after using it it's really useless since you can't change the temperature or the functions. (It still won't brew coffee until it's the right temperature, and the thermometer won't show the temperature until the pump is running and water pours over the coffee grounds.) Rim. Mark 2 or 4 cups and press lightly with a plastic tamper. Measure the amount of water (loose markings in the cup indicate 3 levels for foam or 2 or 4 cups), pour into the container under the screw cap at the top of the coffee maker, then close the lid again, then tighten the filter and twist Put the (single) button on the symbol coffee mug and it will do the rest: heat it up and start the pump when the flow stops. Turn them off by Joe without CREMA it doesn't make much noise during operation. The power cord is short, 27" long. The instructions are gibberish and doesn't make much sense because the English translation is ridiculous, obviously written by someone who doesn't speak English. The two safety warnings they suggest several times: Never use fine ground coffee only use medium ground coffee otherwise the filter will clog and the machine will explode and you will burn those water tanks enough water for one job It appears to be made of die cast aluminum Although the machine works as described it feels very cheap to the touch, the box, the manual, the materials, everything looks and feels really cheap. It should probably sell for half what they want now. I suspect the manufacturing and packaging of this machine could cost five dollars Oh yeah, in the world of espresso, the word "cup" doesn't mean the same thing as in a restaurant t. A cup of espresso is approximately 2 ounces or 20 ml, it takes two or three "cups" to equal a standard coffee mug. Whilst I have no regrets for the buyers I would only recommend this after you realize that this is a very cheap machine but it seems to work well.
