About this item

  • ONE TOUCH BREW - With a single press of a button and in less than 90 seconds, this automatic espresso machine dispenses Espresso, Americano, Lungo, My Cup or Hot Water. My Cup is set to ristretto and can be adjusted to a favorite espresso recipe via the SmartHQ app.
  • BALANCED EXTRACTION - Beans are pre-infused with low pressure to gently bloom optimal flavor profiles and gradually increased to 20 bars of high rated pump pressure to ensure even extraction for a balanced tasting cup
  • BUILT-IN CONICAL BURR GRINDER & ADJUSTABLE GRIND SIZE - The stainless steel conical burr grinder delivers a consistent grind with any bean roast. Plus, you can control your grind size with 5 levels ranging from coarsest to finest for ideal taste and aroma extraction
  • WIFI CONNECTED WITH DRINK CUSTOMIZATION TECHNOLOGY - Equip your kitchen with a smart espresso machine that syncs with the SmartHQ app, allowing users to customize drink preferences by volume and strength, while also enabling software updates
  • BUILT-IN BEAN HOPPER - Keep beans fresh with sealed bean storage that holds over 180 grams/6 ounces
  • Too coarse a grind, too little coffee, or insufficiently tamping the grounds before brewing can all lead to inadequate pressure for a proper brew. It is important to note that the amount of espresso extracted will vary depending on the grind size and amount and reprogramming may be needed when the size and amount are adjusted

Bought this machine six months ago for my restaurant. We sell a decent amount of espresso but we don't do cappuccinos or anything like that, so I didn't go with the frothing model. The machine is very easy to use, my staff got the hang of it almost immediately.

This is my first experience using a bean-to-cup machine and I am really pleased with it, especially compared with the pre-ground capsule system we used prior. It bangs out a shot super fast, piping hot and with a nice head of crema every time.

The taste is great and the machine is still in very good shape. I was concerned that I might have overestimated it's ability to hold up to everyday commercial use (granted, we're not a coffee shop or anything, but it does get used up to 20 times day) but so far it hasn't given me a single issue, just tons of great coffee. I am considering buying one to use at home for myself as well.

I definitely recommend this machine. It looks super sleek, it's nice and quiet, and it works like a charm for surprisingly short money.

I bought this ridiculously expensive coffee machine and have tried for five months to get it to work on a consistent basis. All it’s ever done is waste my beautiful coffee beans and “not do it’s job.” I loved the design, but unfortunately that’s all it has going for it. I’m DONE trying to keep it. Sending back to the company to fix, then giving it to my granddaughter. I replaced this POS with a wonderful Gaggia machine (not from Amazon). Sorry Amazon ….. maybe you should have tested this company out? I’ve never had more trouble from a beautifully designed machine that never works properly and wastes beautiful coffee beans constantly. Wish I had sent it back to you immediately- and it’s possible their quality control is not consistent, and some other machines work well. I have tried everything for several months but now I’ve moved on.

I wasn't sure about this little espresso machine, but I had to do something about improving my morning coffee with K Cups. I debated between this and Bambino espresso machine with separate grinder, but after watching a lot of YouTube videos, finally decided that fully automatic would be a good transition from the K Cup. I am very happy with my decision. I am using Fiji water (expensive but essential), Cafe Lavazza Gran Crema beans, I set the grinder to the finest, grinding time to 5 seconds for espresso and my latte tastes chocolatey. It took about a week to get the hang of using the frother, but now I can make a nice cup of latte in a minute or two. It also looks very pretty on the counter. BTW, it doesn't show on the photos but it does come with a frother pitcher. Smart HQ app was easy to use, you can customize your coffee on the app. Temperature, grinding time, amount of water etc. I set to the hottest temperature but still warm up my cup with hot water in a microwave for 1 minute. Overall, it's a WINNER!

I wasn't sure about this little espresso machine, but I had to do something about improving my morning coffee with K Cups. I debated between this and Bambino espresso machine with separate grinder, but after watching a lot of YouTube videos, finally decided that fully automatic would be a good transition from the K Cup. I am very happy with my decision. I am using Fiji water (expensive but essential), Cafe Lavazza Gran Crema beans, I set the grinder to the finest, grinding time to 5 seconds for espresso and my latte tastes chocolatey. It took about a week to get the hang of using the frother, but now I can make a nice cup of latte in a minute or two. It also looks very pretty on the counter. BTW, it doesn't show on the photos but it does come with a frother pitcher. Smart HQ app was easy to use, you can customize your coffee on the app. Temperature, grinding time, amount of water etc. I set to the hottest temperature but still warm up my cup with hot water in a microwave for 1 minute. Overall, it's a WINNER!

I used, so far, the Café Affetto Automatic Espresso Machine + Milk Frother for almost 5 month. The machine works Perfect, all the way. Good Espresso, Super Easy clean, good control/customization (Grind time, Brew volume & Brew temperature) through App. Went already through 5 Descaling cycles, All Fine!
It's import to understand one simple thing: The coffee beans you put in will get you the final Espresso, Good or Lousy. Old roasted beans will give you Less Crema, fresher roasted beans will give you richer taste and More Crema.
One advice regarding the Price. $629 it's definitely a bit expensive, so have patience and you'll get a decent, around $300, price. Totally worth it!

Loved the machine. It made the perfect espresso with the perfect crema. It was easy to fill, clean and maintain. In less than two months of ownership, the machine overheated and started smoking. It had been shut off for an hour. Luckily we were running late that morning and the smell caught our attention. The smoke looked as if it was already on fire, which it wasn't. As much as it made a great espresso, I cannot recommend a product that can be a liability in the home.

I love this espresso machine. As a former barista I always wanted my own espresso maker, but don’t like the hassle of cleaning after the machine after every use. The only regular cleaning with this machine is emptying out the waste basket, it is quite small so if you are a triple espresso latte girl like me then you will find yourself emptying it out every other use, but it’s not a hassle at all. I love being able to adjust all the setting too, the app is vital for this machine, just make sure the app as well as your machine is updated or else there are some settings you will not be able to adjust. It is quite loud when the espresso is grinding but that is expected and not a problem for me at all. All I have to do is press a button, fill that tank and bean hopper every now and then, and I have fresh shots everyday. It is hands down the best purchase I have made, no longer do I have to go to Starbucks or Dutch bros and spend money as I’m sure I have already started saving money since buying this machine. Luckily I found it on sale for over half off, so if I were you I would wait until the machine is on sale again. Cause I would not have been able to safely afford it other wise.
