Review on ☕ IMUSA USA GAU-18202 4 Cup Espresso/Cappuccino Maker: Expertly Crafted Coffee at Home by Jody Tibbetts

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Makes good coffee, but not espresso.

I bought this espresso maker because the photo in the product description looked exactly like the one I had before. However, when I received it, it was not the same product as shown in the photos. I have included photos so you can see everything that comes with this product and the differences between the description photos and the actual item. The frothing tube of this machine is different from what is advertised. This comes with a small automatic frothing wand. The product should come with a professional frother with automatic frothing attachment. As shown in the photos in the product description. It is not possible to use the automatic frothing wand to properly prepare latte art. The frother cap is also very cheap and has been removed. The frothing tube is very difficult to clean as it is made out of cheap cheap plastic that has been torn off and doesn't screw on properly. Overall, this machine didn't make a good espresso, more like a cup of coffee. from the percolator. There was no cream after the shot. However, this product is only designed for a pressure of 5 bar. You need a machine that can reach 15 bar and then drop to 9 bar after the shot goes off. So this machine is not a real espresso machine. But I had hopes as I basically just wanted a good frothing machine. Because it wasn't advertised that much, it didn't achieve its goal. I cannot recommend this product. Because of the misleading photos in the description and also because you can't make a good espresso.

Pros
  • Milk Frother Perfect for a delicious cappuccino, macchiato or simple late coffee
Cons
  • No Auto Brew
