Yabano Espresso Machine, 3.5Bar Espresso Coffee Maker, Espresso and Cappuccino Machine with Milk Frother, Espresso Maker with Steamer

I haven’t had an espresso maker for years after my old one died & I couldn’t find a small replacement that had good reviews. After spending a week with a friend & enjoying having espressos again I decided to search for a new one. This small model had decent reviews. It does make good espresso but when I tried using the frother it blew milk ALL OVER THE PLACE. I politely contacted the seller to ask if they had any suggestions for a fix or if this was a known problem. Not even a ‘received your inquiry’ reply. Crickets. I then posted a question on the forum @ a wonderful reply came from a woman who suggests I buy a real frother pitcher. Upon looking at the options I found a very small pitcher. The review stated it was perfect for single use & doesn’t waste a large amount of cream. It is perfect altho I haven’t achieved a ‘good froth’ yet but hope with practice to get there. Also, when I read the directions for frothing it states ‘wait 6 minutes’…..WHAT!? Who wants to make their cup & then wait 6 minutes to froth the cream? So I have found a perfect way to have it at once, together. Place a little less water then the #4. Turn knob to froth & have pitcher under spout. The steam will start to froth & when you are satisfied turn the knob immediately to espresso. VOILÀ! You now have frothed cream & espresso together…..immediately. Also, the measuring cup has a tamper on the other end….very handy! And….why do they ask you to rate ‘flavor’? The flavor comes from the roast…duh.

It does what it says. It makes espresso. It is a very basic low pressure machine. Not bad to make a latte at home.

We loved it. Perfect for two people, not too had to use. Cleaning is cumbersome but not bad. Bought it for Christmas 2022 and it stopped working in June of 2023.Update: The company read my review and offered a full refund without me having to do a thing. I will check out this company again.

Great value for the money! A great machine with a lot of power. I don’t know about other reviews about the taste of the espresso when I finish making it. But to me it taste like espresso and very strong. You don’t have to spend hundreds of dollars to get a great taste. They just need to improve the Melton device or frother. It would be better if he just turned or mixed the milk and not just blew out steam. Gets very hot. But it is a espresso machine Fabolous

Not the fastest thing in the world but it does make pretty good espressos, I'd just recommend getting a recipe book for coffee and doing some research on how to properly make a good espresso. I do have a big complaint though, the funnel/filter is pretty tough to put in and I'm pretty strong. I wouldn't recommend this for anyone that's older or anyone with hand/wrist issues.

Buen sabor

Part of this is my fault as I didn't notice it was a reconditioned unit when I bought it. That said, it put in the box as if someone was returning it back to Amazon. The plastic was just tossed in next to it. Now, I almost just returned it myself, was then when I realized it was refurbished. So, I plugged it in and ran water through it... It works, but the light indicator is broken. I'm going to see how long it works as I really wanted one now.. So that's on me.. Lol. So, for now, it works, at a savings. And from now on, I pay closer attention...

Easy to use. Very light weight so I am hoping it will last! It made a nice coffee and that is all I care about. Low profile so not using up much space. The light weight makes it a 2 handed job to afix the coffee basket thing.
