Wirsh 15 Bar Espresso Machine with Commercial Steam Milk Frother for Barista-Quality Coffee at Home

DSantana: Very good product in general, makes great coffee and you can adjust how much water to use so you can tweak to your personal taste, very good manual with clear instructions… I like the default settings…

I’m very happy with this coffee machine, works better with the coffee beans you grind, and the flavor is always the same assuming the coffee beans has the same freshness.

The manual don’t show the specifications, no big deal but not sure if actually 20 bar or not, also it vibrates a little, some lighter cups moves while brewing so I have to hold those cups, my heavy mug don’t moves when vibrating. Pump noise is little loud but I can live with it and IMHO is actually not bad.

It feels very solid and good quality, no indicator when water level is low. I don’t see water level indicator in relative low priced machines.

If you looking for an affordable entry level Expresso machine this is a good one!

Mario the Gator: First, I want to thank everyone for all the reviews on the many espresso makers. It really helped me avoid spending way too much money on something that I did not need. I was going to order one of the expensive machines with a built-in grinder. After reading the reviews I learned that less is more. Buying a separate grinder saved me money and it turns out that I don't notice much difference at all between grinding my own coffee and using pre-ground coffee. It also means that there is less to maintain and less that can break on this machine. I have been using this Wirsh espresso machine for a week. It is super simple to use and the coffee is perfect for my wife and I. It tastes great and I don't have to go out to buy it at a cafe somewhere. I have zero complaints. Don't spend ~ $600 on a machine when this one will do the job very well for a fraction of the price.

Michelle: Treated myself to this machine when my keto cappuccino at SB was $5.50 for a tall! Out of the box, my first cappuccino was perfect! Takes about 30 sec once on to be ready to brew and created perfect crema the first time! Steaming cream for me was about 60 seconds max but I only do about 1/2 cup at a time so may be longer for more milk so cannot comment. This was a complaint on some posts. I too experience the delay for second bre after having used the steaming wand. Per the book, it was due to the machine needing to cool down some first as the heater for the steaming is at higher temperature. For the money, this is an amazing machine and makes a better espresso than some higher end machines that my friends have (they concur). The selling point for me was rhe slim profile. I have referred this to 3 friends from other states who have purchased as well and they are just as pleased! Highly recommend!!

Ava K Coggins: Had this just two days.
Day one unpacked, set it up, used it everything seemed good. Manual stated I should have a scoop, do have. I will recheck packaging to make sure.
The Manual also states the top area is a warming area. That is false. It does get a bit warm, but not enough I cannot put my hand on it flat. Certainly, does not warm my espresso cups. I have left it on for and and or more and it DOES NOT HEAT THE AREA.

It is a really nice looking unit. It's small, not obtrusive on the counter. It will definitely fit into a cabinet if I want to stow and store.
Second day I turned it on, left it alone to warm up. It was hard to get to work and make my little expresso.

Don't have a tamper. I am improvising and am able to get a good solid pack down before brewing.
Right now it's been on 5 minutes and doesn't feel warm at all.
Manual also references two separate sizes of filter cup. Only have one size.

I will update this as I learn more about it

***update rechecked package and found the scoop and the smaller cup. The scoop does have a tapper at the other end.

Mr. Knox: ***Update*** Wanted to do a quick update after using it daily for the last 4 months:

Still working great! Making good espressos, and I am enjoying the ease of cleaning this compared to super-automatic ones. Have not de-scaled it yet, so we'll see how that goes.
I purchased a "bottomless Portafilter" which was said to be compatible with the Gevi. It ended up not completely sealing, so steam would shoot out between the filter and where it locks in. All is not lost though, the filter basket fits into the original Wirsh Portafilter just fine. Really spent more than necessary, again, I wish they would throw in a bottomless filter basket.
As for the vibrating, I put a paper towel sheet underneath the cup, which keeps it from wandering off. I use that same paper towel to catch any drip drops and to wipe any coffee grinds from where the water comes out. Non-issue!
Finally, the milk steaming wand works great, just had to practice a few times. No problems.

With the non-pressurized Portafilter came a measuring spoon and a plastic cup (search for B0BPXLZZ4R) to put the coffee grinds into the filter basket without spilling. Still use the plastic tamping spoon, but have...
