A simple grind adjustment turned my shots into true café-quality espresso!
This espresso machine completely exceeded my expectations. It’s very easy to use, and the coffee quality is honestly even better than what I get at a café.At first, I didn’t get a perfect cup—the temperature wasn’t hot enough, there wasn’t much crema, and the portafilter didn’t even form a proper puck. After reaching out to Acaspresso’s customer service, I learned that I needed to adjust the grinder to the 'recommended' grind setting. Once I did that, everything changed.I immediately got a perfect shot, and I also love that I can fine-tune the grind size depending on the beans I’m using and my personal taste.Overall, this is an amazing espresso machine. I’ve truly fallen in love with it, and now I can enjoy café-quality coffee anytime, right at home!

Great espresso machine
Great espresso machine, I have been looking for a budget espresso machine that makes good golden crema and flows like how it should with that honey texture. Once you get the grind size with a couple tries the machine distributes and tamps mess free. For this price point and the functionality this machine is the best. Great for beginners and intermediate espresso lovers. Probably will update after some time passes.

Smooth operation and cafe-quality
I saw a few reviews mentioning the button issue, so I reached out to the brand and they assured me the buttons had been upgraded. I’ve owned a few basic espresso machines before, but this one is on another level. It grinds a perfectly even, compact puck every time and the espresso comes out thick and full-bodied. I buy regular coffee beans and the flavor beats my local coffee shop. The price is extremely attractive compared to Breville or Ninja. When it’s grinding and brewing, the aroma fills the whole house. I love it!

Subpar Performance - Save Your Money
The machine is overrated, sending it back. It doesn’t get hot enough and it doesn’t produce enough espresso crema.I owned a $100 espresso machine that made a way much better cup of espressoDon’t buy, it’s not worth the money…I’m trying to warn you.

Never Going Back – This Machine Made Me Love Making Coffee Again
I used to have a cheap espresso machine, and every time I used it, it felt like a messy chore—complicated to operate, hard to clean, and the coffee never tasted quite right. After a friend recommended the ACASPRESSO espresso machine, I decided to give it a try, and the difference has been night and day.Compared to my old machine, this one is a game changer. The auto grinding, distributing, and tamping functions take all the guesswork out and give me a perfect puck every time. The result? Consistently delicious espresso in just a few easy steps. The milk frothing feature is also a huge upgrade—smooth, dense microfoam that makes every latte feel like a café experience. The build quality and design are top-notch, and it actually makes me look forward to making coffee every day.

Perfect puck, every time!
Update on button press, using my thumb works all of the time so adding a star. I would highly recommend this espresso maker at this point.Original:This machine could be great and in my opinion, comparable to the other higher priced auto dosers out there. Why the 3 star review? Where it falls short is at the panel, the 1 and 2 shot buttons are really finiky and hard to get working on a single press. While the power button is flawless.The auto dose and tamper work amazing and it's relatively quick. You can do this while the machine is preheating so that a time saver.The pressure gauge is great for dialing in the correct grind, I had a great shot after only two attempts. I think the third shot will be perfect . Start off at the recommended grind setting and adjust up or down from there. In my case, I had to adjust up a few clicks.It does use a lot of coffee but this is also my first espresso machine that uses a 58mm portafilter. The used puck is perfectly formed and actually pretty hard to get out but after a few good firm taps it comes flying out fully formed.Overall a very enjoyable experience if not for the frustration of actuating the shot buttons. Maybe I got a bad panel but if the issue persists and doesn't "break in" or I find the sweet spot, I'll have to return it. I think another reviewer reported a similar issue.
