Esperto “Competition” series espresso machine.Expertly handcrafted and loaded with features, the Esperto line allows the home barista to expertly prepare restaurant quality espresso and cappuccinos.

Excellent product. OK it’s not automatic. It requires you to grind the coffee yourself, and then pull on the lever more than once. That’s at least 5 minutes to get your first cup. But it’s worth it for a really good coffee just the same as you would get in a cafe in Paris or Rome (assuming you buy just-roasted coffee beans and grind them yourself). Another problem - you have to pretend you like espresso from friends’ inferior machines…. Anonymous. Tue Sep 01 2026

disappointed by the construction of the base being mostly plastic rather than metal as described in the product description … I will be calling to ask whether the more expensive model is constructed entirely out of metal …. Paul. Esquimalt, BC. Sun Jul 07 2024
