3700E

My casabrews 3700 essential has been unkind to me. Shots take 38s no matter what I do - different grind sizes, added a puck screen etc. The min yield I've been able to get is 43g on a 15g dose and it's bitter. Compare that to the Picopresso I use in my office which makes unbelievably great espresso

You realllllllly think that all those machines that cost 1500+ are just as good as your little casabrews or delonghi? It's not about justifying the purchase, THOSE MACHINES ARE ACTUALLY BETTER! The temp is more consistent, the pump works better and for longer, the whole experience is better, more in

This post is very confusing as you're both using "espresso" and "cup of Joe" in the question, which are entirely different things. I think you're going to have a hard time getting an answer to it. So I'll answer this the best way I can - by defining a few things. Then from that, you can explain what

Got my spoon and book last week. Ordered Mini R on 11/25 after being served some pretty lousy espresso at a friends house on Thanksgiving ( https://www.casabrews.com/products/casabrews-3700essential-20-bar-espresso-coffee-machine-with-space-saving-design ).

My sister has the Casabrews and it makes alright espresso once you start dialing it in with a proper grinder. For a basic setup it makes passable espresso if you're on a budget but compared to other machines I've used, it doesn't have nearly the same level of smoothness and taste. But when they come

How's the espresso? Meh. Better than a Krups with its pressurized basket but not as good as a serious single boiler like a Silvia (much less a prosumer HX). Truthfully, the little $99 Casabrews I just bought as a backup while my LaCora is in the shop makes better espresso.

The espresso tastes sour. How would I alter the amount of water used, that is not an option for my machine. What do you mean about a grinder intended for non pressurized brewing? Like for drip coffee? Thank you so much for the feedback, do you think getting a bottomless portafilter will fix this iss

I think the casabrews portafilter is pressurized. Yes it is. The espresso tastes sour. The usual cure for sour is to increase the amount of water. However, a common beginner mistake is confusing sour with bitter. So if using more water makes it taste more sour to you, then try decreasing the amount

I had the casabrews one for about a year before it broke. They were nice enough to ship me another one for free, but that also broke down for the same reason eventually (something about steam valve gasket). The casabrews makes decent espresso, but won't last very long. In addition, the steamer isn't

I don't know what to do. This feels like trolling, but i know its just an innocent question. If americano is your goal, pour over would have been the better an cheaper alternative. grinders for filter coffee are much cheaper. Also i don't lnow what a casabrew is and i don't want to learn. you should
