CASABREWS CM7036E Espresso Machine for Nespresso Original Pods 20 Bar Compact Capsule Coffee Machine with 21 oz Removable

Casabrews has done a great job with this little powerhouse of a machine. All four settings make great tasting espresso products. I've used original Nespresso pods from various manufacturers and they all work well. Easy to use. I only use filtered water. Slim size, doesn't take up much counter space. Makes a little noise while in use but it has a mechanical pump inside so that is to be expected. My cup does slide on both the metal grate and plastic base due to the vibrations while in use so I first used a napkin underneath the cup which works but then switched to a silicone honeycomb rubber coaster under the glass which stops sliding perfectly. The machine itself has four strong suction cups attached to the bottom base and does not slide during operation. Hoping it is reliable for years to come but for the price I purchased a three year warranty for $8 just in case. Win/win all the way. It's a solid product and for the price it's outstanding.

Tried this with about 5 pods in the 1st morning of trying it with no issues. I got pods that are "super creme" so someone's review about it not having enough must be a pod issue not machine issue. This makes great coffee and is super simple to use. As far as the noise level, its not the most ideal but have you ever been in a coffee shop before? any processing that requires pressurized water dispensing is never gonna be whisper quiet unless you wanna spend hundreds of dollars more (maybe). For me, the noise was only unsettling to my ears while waiting for the americano setting to dispense (its the longest brew for oz) and that was standing right next to it. If you stand back a bit more, it just sounds like a phone vibrating on a counter. Overall I'm super excited to have this and have flavorful espresso and americano coffees! Read more

Why did you pick this product vs others?: It makes espresso. Not like with a $2000 grinder and a $4000 machine. But not that much worse. For a lot less it comes pretty close. Many people could not tell the difference. Some who can tell the difference would like the expresso from this machine better than the expensive one. You don't get the wide choice. If you grind your own there are thousands of coffees. There are only hundreds of different coffees available in pods. If you are going to get a reusable pod and grind your own coffee, you might as well go all the way. The thing about this machine that bothers me, and stopped it from getting more stars, is that it vibrates. The vibrating part does not bother me, a thing with an inexpensive pump that gets to the pressure needed for espresso is going to vibrate and be loud. I set it up to make espresso and pressed the button. Did other stuff while it made coffee. Came back and the cup had moved from the vibration and half the shot missed the cup. It would probably get 5 stars if I could press the button and get a shot of espresso. I have to press the button and watch to make sure the cup does not vibrate out from under the stream. I'm probably going to stick bits of rubber to the screen and that will stop my cup from wandering around. But I shouldn't have to do that. I should be able to press the button and get a cup of espresso. Read more

I am so happy with this machine, it’s great! I have owned a number of grind & tamp espresso machines, and recently purchased a more expensive Italian machine that I ultimately decided to return as the amount of work and expensive accessories needed to pull really good espresso shots I found excessive and time consuming. Thus my departure back into pod machines and this Casabrews doesn’t disappoint! It’s a well-made, sleek handsome machine that has 20-bars of pressure and is compatible with all “Nespresso Original” pods - I purchased a number of Lavazza pods with the machine. It works fantastic and I must say I am quite impressed with the quality of shots it pours - unlike many other machines I looked at, this Casabrews has a modern selection and digital selection system the user is offered to select between “ristretto” (slightly smaller than an espresso shot), “espresso” (standard ~ 40mL espresso shot), “lungo” (literally “long” a long pull espresso shot), and “americano” (essentially just shy of a traditional cup of coffee, or an espresso shot w hot water). The machine is well-made, looks and runs great! I love that it has multiple suction points along the bottom of the machine that keeps it very snug via suction to my counter. It’s great! I researched every other Nespresso machine sold on Amazon prior to purchasing this Casabrews machine and I’m well pleased with my purchase. You can tell Casabrews isn’t a cheap company, it’s a very nice machine and honestly very good low price on this machine especially considering IMO it’s better than all the other ones - the only thing “lacking” would be a milk frother but I don’t use those so for me again this machine is quite literally perfect. PS, I went through all the reviews for this machine on Amazon and feel several of the 1-star reviews should be removed by Amazon! One of them states that they purchased this machine to use with Keurig coffee pods 🤦🏼‍♂️ come on people lol! Totally unfair - I spent several days looking at other machines and comparing and can state Casabrews is the best IMO Read more

While browsing around, I discovered the CASABREWS CM7036E Espresso Machine—and I’m genuinely impressed. Why I love it: 1. Uses simple espresso pods 2. Four coffee options: Ristretto / Espresso / Lungo / Americano 3. 1-minute heat-up + ~1-minute . 4. Auto shut-off in 15 seconds (no worry about leaving it on) Even better, each mode tastesd a different coffee strength (TDS) as I know : • Ristretto: 12%–14% • Espresso: 8%–12% • Lungo: 4%–6% • Americano: 1%–2% Stronger or lighter — just press a button.Recently obsessed with Lungo. S balanced , so good. Read more
