5418 PRO

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

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.

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.

Casabrews 5418 pro + Fellow opus is a good combo. Around $380 now. 5418 pro has pressure gauge and proper steam wand to actually help you learn the ropes without being overwhelming. Opus is solid too, but the workflow takes a minute to get used to. And they're both compact, good for small space. gl

Casabrews 5418 pro. Strong stream wand from what a lot of reviews say. Fast heat up. Will feel similar to a bambino at a way lower price point. Just have to get a grinder. I'm gonna give a tip as someone who has been a commercial barista for the last 13 years (also an unpopular opinion): If you're a

Casabrews 3700Essential works if you just want a tiny starter machine. But with your BIL's nicer grinder and specialty beans, Casabrews 5418 pro makes more sense. It can give him a bit more to grow into cause it responds to grind adjustments better than the strater machines while still being a small
