5418 PRO

Thanks man! Trust me, I had plenty of onion shaped hearts before this lol. To be honest, I’m a total newbie too, so the casabrews 5418 pro is actually the only machine I’ve ever used. I did a ton of research in this sub before finally pulling the trigger on it. I can't really give you professional a

Honest to god…this is the only relevant question and only one person asked it. The replacement portafilter has a deep chamber, so you either use more coffee to fill it (even with a screen to take up a millimeter or two) or you are going to get slop at any coarseness. But the real question is what do

Casabrews 5418 Pro. Nice compact machine that makes incredible espresso!

I have a regular casabrew 5418. It’s definitely entry level, but for a semi beginner, it’s super easy to handle. Just make sure to get her some decent beans. Since it's a pre order, did they say when it's shipping? My mom’s birthday is in June and I’m tempted now lol.

Everyone is suggesting the Breville Bambino, however the Casabrews 5418 pro costs less (a little under $200) with similar performance a similar fast heating system (its ready to go 3 seconds after power on, 5 seconds to switch from shots to steam).

Hey! I'm a coffee newbie too.I was also thinking about whether to get a used machine, but they may have hidden issues. So i chose to buy a new one.It's about the same price as a used machine,my casabrews 5418pro.It's super simple to use and makes coffee really fast!

I’ve got the Casabrew 5418 pro with a Baratza ESP and in my opinion from the research I’ve done, the Bambino isn’t a big enough step up to warrant the money. I haven’t figured out what my next machine will be (if at all, honestly) but I think I’ll be buying a new grinder first. If the machine died r

Don’t let anyone tell you you have to spend more than $200. Casabrews 5418 or 5418 pro is your answer. Been using that for about 4 months twice daily with my DF54 and it’s been great.
