GEVI Espresso Machine Cafe Steam Maker，stainless steel

I love this machine and coffee it makes!

I almost returned this Gevi EzBru 1000 because the 58mm basket reduces down to less than 58mm near the bottom of the basket and the steam wand lacked power, taking 3 minutes to make decent micro foam. Since I had 90 days to return this I decided to experiment. After pulling several shots (using the non- pressurized double basket) I realized that the tapered basket does not seem to diminish the quality of the shot. I also discovered that if I steam the milk first to 150° (using a stick thermometer) it created very nice micro texture in about a minute and a half then I pulled the 3spresso shot second. I also removed the drip tray cover to accommodate a regular size coffee mug. This machine produces espresso similar to my previous Breville Express machine but for less than 1/3 the cost. Overall, for the build quality, ease of use, stainless frothing piture and decent micro foam %26 espresso shot, I recommend it. I purchased the 3 year extended warranty for $25 for a total cost with tax of $208.
