The CASABREWS CM5418 espresso machine has been a fantastic addition to my daily coffee ritual. Its sleek, compact design fits perfectly in my kitchen without taking up much space. The 20-bar Italian pump and 1350W boiler deliver rich, smooth espresso shots that rival those from my favorite café. I was pleasantly surprised by how easy it was to use, even as a beginner. The built-in pressure gauge is a helpful feature, allowing me to monitor each extraction for optimal results. The steam wand works efficiently, enabling me to create creamy microfoam for lattes and cappuccinos. Considering its affordable price point, the CASABREWS CM5418 offers exceptional value without compromising on quality. I'm delighted with this purchase and highly recommend it to fellow coffee enthusiasts seeking a reliable and stylish espresso machine.
5.0 out of 5 stars Nice little espresso machine for the price.
Pros: Inexpensive; good looking; works well; has a functional pressure gauge; easy to adjust water volume on the fly or by re-programming.Cons: Uses a bump+ridge to hold filter basket in place rather than spring; warming area doesn't warm; tamper that comes with is flimsy plastic.Unknowns: Haven't tried to make steamed milk.I used a nespresso machine for years to make espresso but after a trip to Sicily I realized that the espresso it produces is not much like the real thing (though it helps to cut the water off early). I tried moka pots (here's a nice one that works on an induction range: https://www.Bolo.com/dp/B07NZ4GPYJ?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title&th=1) which made nice coffee but not espresso. So I looked for an inexpensive "real" espresso machine -- there are many available very similar in price and features to this one -- probably the same internals -- but this is one of the few that has a pressure gauge (which I find works well, unlike some other reviewers). Also it is not too wide and the stainless version fit in well with our kitchen. The technical appearance of pressure gauge, along with having not too much plastic in evidence, gives an appearance vaguely reminiscent of much more expensive machines.Out of the box, using the pressurized filter baskets that come with it, and using pre-ground espresso coffee from the grocery store (Illy), this machine made espresso that was miles ahead of anything I ever got from the nespresso machine or the moka pot (but not much crema).My next step down the rabbit hole was to switch to unpressurized filter baskets. Here is an inexpensive one that fits in the portafilter that comes with this machine: https://www.Bolo.com/dp/B0CB3CHRKC?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title also here is a well-priced substantial tamper: https://www.Bolo.com/dp/B09Q1ZZ7MX?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title&th=1. Now I could experiment with different quantities of coffee, tamped to different degrees -- the pressure gauge on the machine is invaluable for figuring out what is going on. Note the portafilter that comes with this machine does not have a spring to hold the filter basket, so the basket was not attached to the portafilter -- somewhat annoying but still usable (you cannot just bang the portafilter against something to get the used coffee puck out, the filter basket will go with it).Getting nice flavored espresso but with no crema, I realized the problem was that I was not using freshly ground beans. So the next step was to get some beans freshly ground at my local coffee roaster - another giant leap forward in flavor, viscosity, and crema. Support your local coffee roaster!My final step -- so far-- was to get a portafilter that uses a spring to hold the filter baskets - here is a nicely made, reasonably priced spouted one (I haven't gone bottomless yet) that fits this machine: https://www.Bolo.com/dp/B0CB7STNLY?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title&th=1
5.0 out of 5 stars Gorgeous, Classy Machine That Works Beautifully
This espresso machine has far exceeded our expectations. We got the sapphire blue, which has an elegant stainless steel body. I initially chose Casabrews for two main reasons: customer service and build quality, but I discovered after trying out the machine that it also makes delicious espresso.This is an affordable machine with high-quality and safe materials, such as the stainless steel boiler and BPA-free plastic. I've owned three similarly-priced machines from notable brands before, and Casabrews stands out with quality and performance.This machine is more automatic than I expected and has preprogrammed espresso shots. The clear manual explains how to get the best shots, steam, and heat with each step in making your morning coffee. Every espresso we have tried has been delicious, including lattes made using the steam wand.I am familiar with using a bottomless portafilter, and I purchased one from Casabrews, which has a beautiful wood handle. Surprisingly, I was able to get a great shot with it from the get-go. I found that grinding a little finer, tamping a little more firmly, and using high-quality, fresh beans create the best shot with a bottomless portafilter. I've included two links to the wood bottomless portafilter and a wood tamper if you want to add extra flair to your machine.Casabrews Bottomless Portafilter with Wood Handle:https://www.Bolo.com/dp/B0CZKYTDKB?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_titleStainless Steel Tamper with Wood Handle:https://www.Bolo.com/dp/B09J7TQ36B?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_titleThe portafilter that comes with the machine is very sturdy and works well if you'd rather use it. It also makes excellent espresso.If you're purchasing a Casabrews espresso machine from Bolo, I suggest you follow two steps: first, register your espresso machine with Casabrews on their website, and you'll get an 18-month warranty instead of 12. Second, I recommend purchasing an Assurion Kitchen Protection Plan ( you can choose for up to 4 years) on Bolo as additional insurance for the machine.Thank you, Casabrews, for creating such a high-quality and beautiful home espresso machine.
4.0 out of 5 stars Great product for the price.
This was a gift for my college age daughter who loves espresso. It has been easy to use. The construction is solid. The drinks have been great - and she’s saving money by not running to the coffee shop everyday. It can be a little noisy when used on certain surfaces - like my granite counter top. We put a rubber mat underneath and that fixed the issue. Cleaning is not bad at all - as long as you stay on top of it after each use. Great product for the price.

Great machine for the price
This espresso machine delivers great quality for its price, producing rich, well-extracted shots with great crema. It’s easy to use, with precise pressure and temperature control, and the steam wand works fine. Whether you’re a beginner or an experienced home barista, it offers pretty consistent results.Beyond performance, the company’s customer support is outstanding. I had a minor setup issue, and they were quick to respond and genuinely helpful.
The best espresso machine for beginners
This is a very compact machine. If you have a small countertop space, it is what you need. For starters, it produces good enough foam in the coffee. It takes under 30 seconds to warm up the water and be ready for the extraction.The steam wand is versatile. It can move in many directions. For me, the steaming capability is also one of the best in this price range machine. You can make a warm and silky milk in 10 seconds.The only minor issue is that the vibration is quite strong when pumping hot water. But I know this is just a common issue in every budget espresso machine.Overall, I could prepare a good capuccino or latte within 5 minutes. I've been using it everyday and bean very sastified with the Casabrews CM5418.
Good value for the price
I have a bit of a love dislike relationship with this machine. I have been using it for just over a week now for my daily lattes so I am still getting a feel for it. We purchased this one after my old Breville began to seem like it was about to go. We have had the same machine for about 10-11 years and it just started going after we were travelling back and forth with it to our cottage. They don’t make the model we have anymore so after some research my husband thought it was worth trying the casabrews.I am a hard core espresso connoisseur by any means. I don’t weigh my beans or shot, etc. but I do have a bit of a picky taste and don’t like just any espresso.Here is what I like about the unitIt looks nice and sleek. Because it is such a sleek model it doesn’t take up a lot of space on the counter and is easy to move.The pressure gauge on the front is something I haven’t had before and I like seeing that my grind is in the right range.It makes a good crema on top of the espressoThe machine automatically stops when the 1 or 2 cups of espresso have brewed. This took a little getting used to as I haven’t had that before. So sometimes it feels a little too much water is in. But you can always just stop the pour if you prefer it a little stronger.I have only frothed milk once as it is summer and I prefer iced. But it worked well and it quickly heated the milk. Much faster than my old machine. Seemed to make a good foam.Here is what I don’t love.Because the machine is so lightweight you have to hold the machine while trying to lock in the espresso holder. It’s not a big deal but I often have a baby of child in my arms while making coffee so it’s a bit of a pain. Not a dealbreaker just worth noting.After you use the frothing arm you have to run hot water for about 8 seconds so the machine doesn’t overheat. All of this is detailed in instructions. If you don’t the lights on the 1 and 2 cup buttons just flash on and off and you can’t brew. It will also just flash like that and not brew if the overflow on the bottom of the machine is full and needs to be emptied. I had this happened and I couldn’t figure out why I couldn’t get the machine to brew. It was so frustrating and I was ready to pack the machine up and send it back. My old Breville didn’t have any of that automation so it takes getting used to.Now that I am getting the feel of things I am pretty happy with it. The real test is how long it will last.
It does the job!
I must admit, was sceptical about this espresso machine at the beginning. It starts making different opinions at the beginning. However, when you learn and get used to the right process it becomes obvious that machine has really good value and descent quality for that price.The pros:- Espresso shots have right output, good oily foam, silkness, color and, which is most important, the taste.- Design is functional, nothing excessive, redundant.- Quality of the portafilter, inserts, brewing group is really good for the price.- Standard size of 51mm allows to use additional tools, filters, etc quite easilyThe cons:- Confusing brewing controls don't show when boiler pressure is ready, it often overheats and needs to release steam, but nothing points to that!- Small space underneath not letting you to use anything but only espresso cups. You might fit a mug if remove a tray but still too small.- Steam wand movement range is limited so if you have larger jug, you won't be able to fit it in.Nevertheless, my overall impression is positive and I can recommend this little machine as a perfect compromise to limited space kitchen like RV where good coffee (not capsules) is still desired.
