Thyme & Table Barista Grade Espresso Machine Slate

I wasn’t paid for this review lol. We wanted to upgrade a cheap espresso maker and get one that had grinding built in. This one has made quick, tasty, easy espresso, daily. We steam the milk separately but the wand does work fine. One of my favorite things is how easy the cup that holds the grounds cleans out. Only thing I haven’t figured out is I only grind solo because my beans (Starbs blonde espresso) really fill the cup up. Probably just a setting to adjust. And most of my mugs don’t fit under the espresso drip but I just started using the pitcher it came with instead. It is beautiful. The espresso it makes is delicious and I’m in awe of how quick and easy it is to get that needed caffeine.

I just got this espresso machine and honestly it’s adorable. Compact, cute, and it looks great on my counter. It pulls nice shots and I really appreciate that i can adjust the grind size which makes dialing in your coffee much easier. It grinds the beans for you which is great and it’s fun because it makes you feel like a real barista in your own home. The one drawback is that you can’t adjust how many beans are dispensed. No matter whether I set it for a single or double shot it always seems to grind too much and overfill the portafilter. We always end up with ground coffee everywhere which makes cleanup a bit of a chore. Overall it’s a cute little machine that makes decent espresso but if bean dose control is important to you keep this in mind.
