CASABREWS · Coffee & Espresso
CASABREWS Compact Espresso Machine with Milk Frother
A hundred and twenty dollars to find out whether he wants the six-hundred-dollar one.
Our rating
4.2 out of 5
A reasonable way to spend a hundred and twenty dollars is finding out whether he wants the six-hundred-dollar machine. The pressure is real and the frother works. The portafilter is pressurised, which flatters a bad grind rather than rewarding a good one.
