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

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.

I have the Casabrew CM5418 Pro, it appears to have the ultra fast heating element that the Bambino has. There isn’t a ton of research or videos on the CM5418 Pro but I think it’s been a great machine and appears to be worth the upgrade from the non pro version. It heats up in literally three seconds

Casabrews 5418 Pro! super easy. I’m new and still pulled decent shots right away. If your friend doesn’t wanna mess with settings, this one’s fine.

Shardor or Mokkom 64. Baratza ESP if it's $200. Delonghi ECP is great, Dedica is too. Or of course, a Bambino if it's not over budget. Otherwise, you'd only be looking at things like Casabrews, I'd go with one of their higher options like the 5418 Pro, Ultra, or Neutron Pro. Turin Legato is the same

I had a superautomatic. (Note past tense.) What I loved: push-button ease of brewing many different drinks. Easy enough for everyone in my family. What I didn't love: Drinks were at best "okay." Guests (like my parents, inlaws) were still, for whatever reason, apprehensive about/scared to use it. Cl

casabrews 5418 pro could be worth a peek. been a decent little countertop machine in my experience. took a few tries to dial in but once it’s there it pulls respectable shots, and I can get decent microfoam with the steam wand if I take my time. pretty solid for morning espresso and milk stuff. just

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.
