I married an Italian and he takes his morning caffeine very seriously. Not just any old coffee will do. In fact, not just any espresso will do. Luckily, I worked as a barista at Starbucks so I can brew up pretty much any coffee or espresso drink you would like. Good coffee-based drinks starts with a good espresso machine and good coffee beans. That is why I was excited to get the chance to try a top-quality CASABREWS espresso machine. For me, an espresso machine needs to have 3 things to be meet coffee snob high standards: a 20-Bar Italian Pump, a steam wand, and a Burr grinder. I will go into details on all of that below. Casabrews provided me with the 5700 GENSE™ semi-automatic espresso machine with grinder in order to facilitate my review. It is the perfect espresso maker to craft lattes, cappuccinos, and macchiatos because it comes with a 20-bar extraction pump, built-in grinder, and milk frother.

About CASABREWS

I always want to know about the company first to make sure they produce high-quality products. So I did my research there first. Casabrews is a U.S.-based coffee appliance company founded in 2020, known for producing stylish, user-friendly espresso machines that deliver café-quality results at home. The company partners with a manufacturing facility boasting over 20 years of experience in coffee maker production, ensuring both quality and reliability in their products. Casabrews’ espresso machines are well-regarded for their balance of functionality, design, and affordability, making them a popular choice among home baristas.

Semi-Automatic Espresso Machine With Grinder

When it comes to espresso makers, you can go with a fully manual, semi-automatic, or automatic espresso machine. The difference mainly in how much control you, the user, have over the brewing process.

I like to have a fair amount of control but I don’t like to have too much hassle so for me, the perfect espresso machine is semi-automatic. In other words, I don’t want one-touch operation where you press a button, and the machine does the rest. I like to handle the tamping and attach the portafilter for the perfect espresso shot. I like doing the milk frothing for the perfect lattes. But, I like the machine to have a built-in grinder so I can effortlessly grind coffee beans fresh for each cup. I also like to hit the one or two shot button espresso and have it control how long the shot pulls. I am a coffee enthusiast who enjoys crafting my drink but, I also like convenience and speed of having some of it done for me so a semi automatic espresso machine with grinder fits my bill nicely.

Now, let’s talk about my favorite features in more depth.

CASABREWS 20 Bar Espresso Machine

The professional-grade 20-bar pressure system with the real-time gauge is at the heart of what espresso machine is all about- quality espresso shots. The consistency of pressure and temperature that this machine provide are what make this a high quality espresso maker.

“Experience exceptional high-pressure extraction with the 20-bar Italian ULKA pump. This advanced system, paired with 1500W power, delivers rich, aromatic espresso with full flavor and crema. The built-in pressure gauge allows you to monitor and adjust extraction for a cup tailored to your taste.”

A Burr grinder is another essential element for a perfect shot of espresso. When I worked at Starbucks I learned that a regular blade grinder won’t grind your coffee beans evenly. The perfectly even grind that a Burr grinder provides is essential to a good shot. In addition, the blade grader will heat up the grounds as it spins over and over and can change the flavor of the espresso. Having a Burr grinder as part of the machine just makes it easier and more convenient, as it can grind directly into your portafilter.

Espresso Machine With Frother (AKA Steam Wand, Steamer, Milk Frother)

If you want an type of hot espresso drinks, you will want your espresso machine to have a steam wand. Though you could warm your milk separately and froth it with a battery powered frother, that would not only be more work but also not up to coffee nerd standards. The steam wand gets a beautiful microfoam that you just can’t replicate in other ways. The espresso maker with steam wand is without question the way to go.

Pros

  • All-in-One Convenience: Combines grinding, brewing, and milk frothing in a single gorgeous stainless steel unit.
  • Customizable Brewing: Adjustable grind settings and manual controls allow for control of espresso shots.
  • Professional Features: Includes a 20 bar pressure gauge and PID temperature control for precise brewing.
  • Comprehensive Accessory Kit: Provides all necessary tools for espresso preparation and maintenance.
  • Bonus: Top of the machine provides a cup-warming surface.
  • See It In Action: On my Instagram

Cons

  • Learning Curve: It may take practice to master grind settings and dose size for optimal single and double shots. The good news is the manual has all the details you need to learn about the art of pulling perfect espresso shots. My best advice is to stay at the recommended grind size setting of 8. When the ground coffee reaches a small cone above the portafilter basket, stop and tamp below the max line. Remember that the process of creating the perfect shot is a big part of the fun.
