Café - Affetto Automatic Espresso Machine with 20 bars of pressure, Milk Frother, and Built-In Wi-Fi - Steel Silver

No complaint on the performance of the machine... the only issue is after 3 months of use, labels on the buttons fades away

So happy with this purchase, honestly one of the best cups of espresso I have had in a long time! It’s super simple to setup as well. Only thing - everytime you turn it on, it rinses - make sure to have a cup ready under the water spout!

This is so easy to setup and use it's ridiculous! I love that I don't have to pound the espresso grounds out of the little cup or go through all the manual steps of getting that espresso shot. I just hit "mycup" and I get 2 espresso shots I can throw some milk in or froth some milk. Also, my kids are now spoiled because I make them frothy milk.

It works as good as other machines that are in the $1k+ range and love how it matches our esthetic. It has many different brew styles and the smart things app helps monitor and customize the My cup selection.

This machine is like having your own personal barista at home. It grinds the beans, brews your espresso, and even cleans up after itself (well, mostly). Plus, it looks super sleek on your countertop. Here's why you'll love it: * Small but mighty: Fits on even the most cramped countertops. * Fresh beans, amazing taste: Built-in grinder ensures fresh grounds for every cup. * One-touch magic: Fancy coffee drinks at the press of a button. * Easy to use, easy to clean: No need to be a coffee pro to enjoy barista-quality espresso. Things to keep in mind: * Not your average joe: Offers less customization than some high-end machines. * No hot water spout: Not the best choice for tea lovers or americano purists. Overall, the Café Affetto is a great choice for anyone who wants delicious espresso without the hassle. It's user-friendly, stylish, and makes mornings a whole lot better.

Wife loves it. Simple to use and worth every penny.

Love the machine! Easy and convenient and makes great coffee

The product we received in the mail appeared to have been refurbished or open box so we did not use and got it returned to the store and a new one was sent to us within a few days. So this review is both for customer service which was very good in helping us getting a product we paid for and second for the replaced product that we received. Originally received was black color but we replaced with white. After about three months of use, I can confidently say that the espresso machine is well worth the price. I previously owned a fully automatic espresso from Saeco that lasted almost 7 years but had a complicated design compared to this one. My toddler can make a good espresso with this one. The Cafe espresso maker is simple to use with or without the associated app. The app does help with some customization but not to an extreme. It is not a semi automatic where one can alter every single detail about the espresso so it’s quite understandable to have a few relevant customizations such as temperature, grind time, quantity. The app leaves some room to improve such as notifications just before the actionable item such as empty water tank, clean coffee waste, etc. Overall, the water tank and bean hopper are large enough to support several cups prior to having to refill. The waste basket collects 10 pucks but is programmed to remind after 10 uses regardless of when you cleaned it. If you cleaned after 7 then be ready to clean after 3. The grinder setting is a little complicated because you have to do it while the machine is grinding coffee which is weird but ok. The looks for Cafe are something that many espresso makers lack in the market.

- I love the elegant yet simple design of this latte machine, coated with gun metal grey color, with a hint of bronze. the majority of the body are mainly all plastic , the tray is stainless and the steam wand cover that can be removed is also stainless - inside the middle top section is where you would find the section to add your own coffee beans, grind size can be adjusted, you have 5 grind size to play around with. - this machine is very compact so don’t be expecting to transfer tons of coffee beans inside the bay, even the water tank it’s small, so you could prob make about 6 drinks with this machine. - all the buttons are touch sensitive from Power, espresso, americano , my cup, steam and hot water are all done with a single tap. certain lights will also aluminaye depending on what you are doing, add water, stir beans, empty waste, check brew unit, descale, rinsing and wifi light will turn on if certain action need to be completed - the steam wand is fully removable so it’s fair easy to clean its small and it does the work that you would expect. - now making the actual coffee was great! I didn’t expect to see a bright light that turns on when brewing espresso, also made americano and wasn’t quite sure at first where the hot water will come out when it comes to americano, since the steam wand act as hot water section as well, but if you press americano, no worries all the liquid will be disposed at the center nozzle. - this machine waste station is fantastic you do need to remove the tray first and pull the out the middle section to see all the coffee grinds. overall I had no issue cleaning it up, it came out dry as well. so less mess to worry. - I was also having a little bit of issue when I was descaling the machine, you get about 4 packs of chemicals to use for descaling and even after following the instructions it took me a bit to figure out what actually needed to be done. - now about the app, I had bad experience with GE app from the past, but after redownloading the app I see that’s it looks way better than before, so maybe things would works flawlessly with these new products they have, I followed the instructions to connect the machine through wifi, you will need the password that’s printed at the back of the latte machine, after that connect to a wifi, the app was trying to discover my machine but sometimes about GE cloud that couldn’t connect with my machine, i’ve done it multiple times to a point where I just gave up. - so when it comes to having the ability to customize your drink experience through the app, yeah I don’t have a response for that, I was ready to see what it can do but at the moment I was limited to the actual machine for this review. update: - the app was finally able to connect to this coffee machine, inside the main app you have the ability to choose the customize drink section where you can adjust the volume and grind time for your single espresso, double, lungo, americano and also hot water. - the app have some option that you wouldn’t find on the main button at the coffee machine, for example there’s Ristretto which is a smaller espresso shot, a triple shot setting and also red eye. keep in mind you will also have the ability to adjust your grind sizes as well as your water volume. such a great feature. - the last thing will be descaling option will also be accessible through the app, i’ve already done this so no need for me to try it again - the app will also update your machine to its latest firmware if it needs it - again it’s a very compact machine that can create a great cup of coffee/ espresso or latte with the steam wand, it’s great an all but the app felt like it limited the full experience I was expecting for this machine, great app by GE they have some great options for creating your own coffee, this bump the review for me after finally have the chance to experience the mobile app.
