The Shardor espresso machine makes rich and flavorful coffee at home with minimal effort. Its 20‑bar pump produces good crema, and the milk frother works well for lattes and cappuccinos. Compact, easy to clean, and affordable, it’s a solid choice for everyday coffee lovers. Read more

Easy to use, easy to clean, easy to set up! I love that I can save myself lots of $$ by having my espresso at home now. You can personalize heat level for milk if using and this machine makes excellent drinks. I highly recommend it over some other more expensive options. Read more

I have enjoyed this little machine since January and it’s easy to use for a person who has zero knowledge on espresso machine. The only thing I struggled with is the milk forther, which sometimes adds more water into milk , not really foam milk. It’s not too hard to figure out but it did take a few failed attempts and a good amount of coffee to get hang of it. Read more

For 100 bucks it makes a surprisingly quality cup of espresso and looks great on the counter BUT here's why it's 100 bucks... 1. The touch buttons to use this thing are the opposite of sensitive. I stand there and poke at it in the morning for 15 seconds to get it to start. Trying side of the thumb, tip of pinky, firm press soft press, etc. It eventually works but not ideal, although sometimes I get lucky and will loudly announce to my wife "Hey! Just got a "first press Johnson", todays going to be a good day!". 2. We had to run 20+ cups with just water to get rid of the plastic/rubber smell. We did the same for the steamer nozzle/ hot water feature (which makes a cup of water in 60 seconds- nice) but the "nozzle water" still has faint stench this first week so we are not using this feature. Maybe it'll linger forever based on the low quality internals they would inevitably need to use to meet this price point. Will we keep it? YEAH! I got this to make a good espresso and it does just that. Are the buttons trash? YEAH! Does the steamer nozzle smell like trash? YEAH! Will this machine pay for its self in 2 weeks now that my wife doesn't doesn't spend $9 a day at the local coffee shop for iced caramel lattes? YEAH!!! Will we keep this forever? NO! Will I throw this away and buy a $300 machine in 6 months? Absolutely! Hope this helps. Read more

Bought the SHARDOR Espresso Machine 20 Bar, Professional Espresso Machine with optimism and hopeful from the reviews, sadly that came to a stretching halt on 2nd brew run when the machine fluctuating temperature produced Luke warm Espresso, which the Espresso temperature is changeable. However the Steam Wand is probably the bigger disappointment as it worked correctly one time and malfunctioned woth shooting water out instead of steam. I tried several things to fix this issue however since the system is a closed system the options are limited and none of them worked from the owners manual and Troubleshooting on the side of Machine. Do not want watered down drinks with every frothed milk due to this machines malfunction. Returning this Machine. Also as a side note went onto Shardor website for help and the site wasn't working. Also no videos available showing how to fix issues with this model CM1661. Please consider that before buying. Read more
