3700E

for a compact setup like yours i'd say the casabrews 3700 stays pretty close to the dedica in size but the stainless steel build makes it comparatively more reliable. runs at 20 bar pressure and the steam wand can actually make proper microfoam which makes a huge difference for lattes compared to th

20 bar which I’ve read is much better quality This is totally false. The best espresso is brewed at around 9 bar. Better quality machines use an over-pressure valve to limit the maximum pressure to 9 bar. Cheap machines like this omit the over-pressure valve and blast the coffee with full pump press

Under $200, you’re mostly not café-level espresso territory and that’s fine. The Delonghi Dedica is probably your safest bet. Heats up quick, small footprint, forgiving with pressurized baskets. Steam wand’s meh but works. Casabrews and other Amazon brands can be okay too, just super hit or miss. If

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

The temp is more consistent, the pump works better and for longer, the whole experience is better, more in

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.

My Casabrew Ultra can have a wet puck too. As long as it's not a big puddle of water, I wouldn't worry about it. Casabrews don't have that fancy solenoid to suck back the excess water at the end of the shot, so, yeah, the puck tends to look kind of muddy. Focus more on the taste of the espresso than

I just got my first set up, waited till the machines were on sale, with some other accessories, total set up cost was $350, all on Amazon. I made my first cup today and it was great, I am a beginner though, but really satisfied with this inexpensive set up. CASABREWS CM5418 Espresso Machine - $119 V
