This machine looks like the white-label/chinese stuff you'll see sold as Casabrews in the US, Oster in LATAM and other markets. If that's the case, it's not necessarily bad but you can certainly get better machines like a Delonghi Dedica or a Breville Bambino for 300 USD. The question is, if you're

I have a 3700 myself. Casabrews are very underrated. I think in a few years time they'll be generally more trusted and the go-to entry level machines. Firstly, if you get a depressurised portafilter you do in fact need a grinder, likewise a grinder is pointless if you have a pressurised portafilter.

It warms up quickly and takes 1-2 minutes from powering it on and running a warm up shot through it before you can make coffee. Its a bit loud and it vibrates a lot, I could do with a more s

I've had a look at the suggestions you were previously given. They were trying to teach you to fly before you could crawl. Your coffee is pre-ground and I assume you're using a pressurised portafilter. “Dialing-in” does not exist for you yet, you have no options and no flexibility, anything close to

My brother's girlfriend wanted to get a machine to make iced white chocolate mochas and I convinced her to just get the casabrews CM5418. She got it for Christmas and loves it. She just uses preground coffee with the pressurized basket because essentially she is drinking sugar milk anyways, so she d
