is it better than the bestbuy bella espresso machine which was $29.9? I believe that one comes with 20 bar pressure makes me feel unprofessional...

I will never understand why these cheap-o machines advertise 15/20 bars when machines costing literally thousands of dollars are 9 bars. There is a generally accepted standard pressure for good coffee, and this ain't it

Recent Kohl's reviews are not great. For the price, you expect it to function like the price.

It would look nice on a sideboard to offer espresso after entertaining. If you want something to use daily or more often, I would look elsewhere. Most of the bad reviews have to do with cleaning and dripping. . .

If someone has one. . .chime in!

you are not saying anything...
would be nice to know the difference between a 500$ espresso maker and a basic one like this but good luck finding a real comparison.

it's like all the people that spend 100 grand on a Benz saying a 20 grand corolla is a shit car.

I personally own this exact machine, got it at Kohl's back in Jan 2024. I have made two double shot espressos every day for the past 9 months and this thing is great. Basic maintenance like be sure the rims of the cup doesn't have coffee on it before you tighten it in or yes you will have problems. This this gives very smooth espresso. I just use Kirkland espresso beans and I like my own homemade Americano more than Starbucks. I recommend this if you follow directions (and read)

How's something like this with cafe bustelo from Aldi for a budget strong-coffee solution?

I'm not a coffee connoisseur - anything dark, strong, and not super bitter is good with me.

Without being rude, honestly, it's what is referred to as a 'palate'...you develop a palate for quality, and soon discover what a waste of money these cheap gadgets are, and the hassle to dispose/give away when you really should have done proper research to discover what will actually perform and be reliable.

yeah for sure.....but listen mate, Starbucks serves hot garbage all day long and make billions and you have people pretending it's premium.

coffee is just chemistry. it should be reasonably easy to quantify and measure what good coffee is or isn't. it's been scientifically proven expensive wine is a myth and the whole industry is a joke.

what we have instead is everyone who spent 2 grand on an Italian machine is pretending to be like a wine sommelier because clearly more money more better and you're stupid for even asking:

'how is a $50machine that puts 10 bar of hot water through a strainer different from a $2000 machine that puts 10 bar of hot water through a strainer'
