What do you get?

A semi-automatic espresso maker with a steam frother, so you can pull a shot and foam milk for a latte. It is a simple, affordable starter machine.

What are the trade-offs?

The 240mL tank is small, so you refill often, and the listing does not state pump pressure. It is basic, but priced to match.

Does the price make sense?

Yes, if you want the lowest-cost way to make milk-based coffee at home. Around β‚±2,600 is sulit for a frother-equipped machine, as long as the small tank does not bother you.

Who should buy it?

Buy this if you want cheap espresso and milk drinks and don’t mind refilling a small tank. See our best espresso and coffee makers roundup and the coffee maker buying guide.

Alternatives to consider

The Simplus Compact Espresso Maker is the bigger-selling sibling. The Vermax 20 Bar Espresso Machine adds a stated 20 bar pump and a larger 1.2L tank for a similar price.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can it froth milk?

Yes. It has a steam frother, so you can make lattes and cappuccino as well as plain espresso.

How big is the water tank?

The tank is small at 240mL, so expect to refill it often, especially when making milk drinks.

Does the listing state the pump pressure?

No. The listing does not give a bar figure, so confirm it with the seller if that matters to you.
