SHARDOR Espresso Machine, Cappuccino Latte Espresso Maker with Steam Milk Frother,

Bought as a christmas present for my daughter and she said it is amazing. I have not personally tried it but she messaged me saying how much she loved it.

So after two months my throffer stopped working and my coffee pot shadder.. ty for the warranty got a brand new one..

It works fast and easy

The first one I received was dead in arrival. Yesterday I was able to make cafe mocha very similar to Starbucks. Then today, I struggled to get the coffee filter on the machine and there was no steam milk frother. The lights still do not work on this one. I used the microwave to heat my milk, so in the end I got my cafe mocha. I am not sure how to rate this thing. If you've ever used an espresso machine, perhaps you will like it. For someone new to home espresso, I am not sure what to say. The directions are clearly not written by someone that reads and writes English. There are a lot of parts and directions and eventually I did get a very very tasty cafe mocha but my blood pressure was high afterwards! I cannot operate my friends espresso machine either so I say proceed with caution.

It leaks from the first use. Waste of money.

Upon unboxing the SHARDOR Espresso Machine, the first thing that strikes is its compact and sleek design which is ideal for a modern kitchen where space is at a premium. The packaging gives off a no-nonsense vibe; it feels secure but not overly luxurious. It's a budget-friendly presentation that doesn’t compromise on ensuring the product's safety during shipping.The machine's single knob operation system is its main selling point, making it incredibly user-friendly, especially for those new to brewing espresso at home. The ease of switching between brewing and frothing is impressive, and the lack of complicated settings is a welcome feature.The built-in steam wand is another highlight, producing a creamy and rich foam reminiscent of what you might find in a cafe. The fast brewing capability that churns out 1-4 shots in just two minutes is commendable, and the powerful steam wand whips up dense froth in under a minute, which is ideal for morning rushes.Performance-wise, the 5-bar pressure system does a good job of ensuring even water flow for a consistent espresso extraction. It may not be on par with the high-end machines boasting 9 bars of pressure, but it exceeds expectations for its price range.The safety features, such as the built-in safety valve and the use of heat-resistant materials, reflect a thoughtful design that prioritizes the user's well-being.However, the 5-bar pressure might not satisfy the palate of a seasoned espresso drinker who prefers a more robust extraction. The espresso maker, while compact, doesn't give a heavy-duty impression which might raise questions about its longevity.In terms of value for money, this machine positions itself well. It offers a balance of functionality and convenience at a price point that is accessible to most.The top positives would include its easy operation, quick brewing, quality milk froth, and the compact design. On the downside, its lower pressure compared to professional machines and the somewhat lightweight build could be points of improvement.In summary, the SHARDOR Espresso Machine is a solid choice for the casual espresso drinker or those with limited kitchen space. It’s not cut out for coffee aficionados seeking barista-level customization, but it’s perfect for someone who wants a quick, easy, and tasty espresso or cappuccino without fuss. Given its functionality and price point, it's a recommendable purchase for home use.

This is a nice self-contained espresso machine and frother. It makes great espresso and is easy clean up. It seems to be of good quality so I am hoping for years of good use.

I've had this for several months now. It's held up well with moderate use. It's a simple machine, fairly small (which is important in limited space), not hard to operate and easy to clean. I haven't noticed any leaks. I'll give it a solid B.
