I love the Gevi 20 Bar Compact Espresso Machine because it is such a low-cost espresso machine that produces high-quality espresso shots. And with its 20-bar high-pressure pump, coffee is always properly extracted.
The machine frother is adjustable, so you can customize the frothiness to your liking. It is also small in size and has 1.5-liter water tank which allows to make multiple cups of espresso without needing to refill.
The machine is so user-friendly, with a simple control panel that has only two buttons.
Pros
- 20 bar pressure which yields espresso shots comparable to cafes.
- Precise temperature controls between 197-202°F.
- Thermal coil heats up quickly for minimal wait time between shots.
- Compact size.
- Affordable.
Cons
- Non-adjustable drip tray that may not fit larger cups.
- Learning curve to dialing in ideal grind size and dose.
