1x HBN 20Bar Compact Espresso Machine with Milk Frother
If you’re trying to get into espresso, hard to say if this thing helps. 1. You would want to upgrade the portafilter( thing that holds the grounds, unsure if that’s a possibility, it’s 54mm which isn’t a wild size but not sure if etsy has ready made replacements). 2. If you don’t have a decent enough grinder 1 doesn’t matter. This probably means spending $100 on a manual grinder or $200 on an electric grinder.
@kensey@narfcake it’s worth noting that they never said the word “pump” anywhere in their marketing or description. They refer to it as a “professional pressure system.”
FYI—the most important part of any espresso adventure is a precision grinder —not just a “burr grinder” but a precision conical burr grinder.
Expect to pay $300-400 for a motorized Rancilio or $800 for a Mazzer Mini, anything less is a waste of your time, you won’t get “drinking” espresso. You’ll get stuff that’s fine for mixes like cappuccinos, lattes, Americanos, but not straight espresso.
A cheaper alternative is a hand grinder like the 1Zpresso for $200----mine actually does a better job than my $360 Rancilio Rocky.
Bottom line—if you want to drink straight espresso you need a superb but pricey grinder, anything else will give you a thin, bitter brew. But if you’re making mixed espresso drinks, almost any burr grinder will do.
Even the Amazon Vine Customer Review Of Free Product people say “Nah” and apparently it has a three month crap out rate so good luck with the 90 day warranty!

I would just save up $250 for a Delonghi Dedica and level up that. https://www.amazon.com/DeLonghi-EC885M-Dedica-Espresso-Machine/dp/B09HLB4DP4
It’s not a cheap hobby but half measures don’t get you there. If you use this as designed probably gets you marginally better than Nespresso results.
@highonpez Cuisinart has a nice burr grinder that holds a half pound and is usually $60-70; $49 refurbished.
@highonpez the Delonghi ECP series is another good entry-level machine, especially if you’re into upgrading stuff.
1350W motor? What’s motorized here?
@kensey The pressure pump.

Tamper with Spoon was the name of my Uri Geller tribute act.
@djslack Where’s the upvote button on this site?
@Simon_H it’s the little star. I can click it with my mind.
@djslack
But if you do
You’ll get “ew” 22.
@chienfou I need to use my mind to unclick 21 others. Ew!
@djslack This is the best comment I EVER seen on here.
Can it make a margarita: Nope it can barely make an espresso according to specs and reviews.
90 day warranty tells you all you need to know.
@mehmehmehmehmeh
That’s actually pretty typical for products that meh sells.
YMMV

Just buy a $33 electric moka pot until you are rich enough to enter espresso world.
