Café Bellissimo Semi-Automatic Espresso Machine

I bought the Breville C7CESAS2R1S3 as a Christmas gift for my husband, planning to surprise him when we moved into our new home. I kept it in the original packaging until last week—huge regret. This machine has been nothing but a letdown. Watery, barely-warm espresso that tastes like disappointment. And yes, I tried the YouTube videos. I followed every tip, cleaned every part, dialed in the grind, and still ended up with a mess and counter full of wasted beans. Unless your dream is to roleplay as an unpaid barista every morning, skip this machine. For 450, I expected decent espresso—not a second job, and definitely not a glorified kitchen ornament next to my pour-over setup (which now gets all the love again). Wayfair response, because its past 30 days was try to sell it locally.

Beautiful and easy machine to brew an espresso. Wonderful for all your needs

Wife loves it

Such a great investment. I wish the knobs were gold but this is still cute and goes with my kitchen well.

Super happy with this purchase, it is exactly what I was looking for.

Started breaking down after 4th use, while using the instructions to the "T" After having it in storage for a year… I took it out and it worked 3 times and then stopped grinding again

Awesome espresso machine and very pretty too!

We are OBSESSED. This is beautiful and my husband makes me a caramel latte every morning and it’s better than any coffee shop.

Within two weeks the grinder stopped working. I was meticulous about keeping it clean. Really disappointing. I would not recommend.

I love my bellísimo espresso machine. It’s been a great addition to my new kitchen. Beware to clean your grinds after every use to avoid any potential clogging.
