Review on ☕ BELLA (13683) Personal Espresso Maker: Steam Wand, Glass Decanter & Permanent Filter – Sleek Black Design by Shaun Robinson

Item at a time

I bought this espresso machine to replace my old moka maker. I knew this wasn't going to be a great espresso machine for the price, but I wasn't prepared for how poor the quality would be. It was so hard to turn the knob to make espresso. Within 2 days the inscription steam, off and espresso was almost completely erased. Okay, no deal breaker. After about a week the black piece on the steam pipe broke and fell off. I was upset, but it was something I could live with. Then this morning, less than 2 weeks after receiving the machine, it stopped making espresso in the middle. I completed the return this afternoon and ordered a new mocha pot. I'm just sticking with the old school that I know works. Do yourself a favor and do the same.

Pros
  • Easy to read control panel
