Manual Espresso Machine – What buyers hate about the product

• First shot always tastes bad
• Lack of pressure release mechanism
• No separate setting for “lungo” or “ristretto” shots

Of the two buyers, one took the time to educate potential customers about the eccentricities of this product. He stated that no matter what attempts were made in tweaking, the first shot never tasted the way he wanted and that it just didn’t taste good.

The other issue that he wanted potential customers to be aware of is the lack of a pressure release mechanism. This means that you cannot pull two shots one after the other.

The machine needs time to settle down. Otherwise, it will make a poofing sound when you unseat the grounds, and steam will blow toward your fingers.

The unit comes with two containers, which measure the water for the type of shot you choose rather than a setting.

As a result, the pull is by the size container used.
