Laekerrt 20 Bar Espresso Maker CMEP01 with Milk Frother Steamer, Home Expresso Coffee Machine for Cappuccino and Latte (Navy Blue, Stainless Steel) Gift for Coffee Lovers, Father

NGL bought this solely for aesthetic reasons because I wanted a more visually pleasing espresso maker to go with my Talavera mugs. I’m not an espresso expert but I am a coffee enthusiast and drink daily. I’m enough of a coffee snob to know that any “pod” espresso maker is never a match for freshly ground and brewed but unfortunately I can’t afford these $600-1000 barista espresso machines so I decided to look for something that would meet both my needs halfway at least. I was more than pleasantly surprised by this purchase. The machine is cute and the espresso quality is legit. I’ve had it for a few months now and I have stopped spending money at coffee houses entirely! I much prefer making my own to my taste, at home! I make perfect iced lattes in the comfort of my own home now. I got some quality flavored syrups and and sauces, super extra crema Lavazza beans, plus some glass coffee tumblers and the experience gives me all of the dopamine! I was worried to order because y’know it’s Amazon so it’s hit or miss. Luckily, so far it’s been a hit. It’s not as noisy as some say. I mean it’s a a machine so it makes noise when it pulls the espresso and steams milk but I don’t plan on operating it in the middle of the night or around sleeping babies so the noise isn’t an issue for me. Hopefully it doesn’t stop working after a few months the like everything else you buy on Amazon. But if lasts me at least 2 years, it was worth it! The only real con is the milk steamer. It’s not the best by any means but I have a separate milk frother so it’s fine. I also prefer shots over ice so I don’t need to use it as much. When it does work, it works ok. Mainly it waters down the milk so much which I’m not a fan of and it squirts everywhere which can be dangerous!

We purchased the Navy Blue model back in 2021. We use this machine every day, every morning and sometimes through the day as well. We love the coffee it makes! The steamer is strong and can quickly steam milk. We use it so much we have had to replace the espresso handle a few times from me banging it too hard on the trash can. I still give this product a 5 star review, one star for every year this machine has served our family without issue. One piece of advice - pay attention to the water tank and don’t run the machine without water in it. It doesn’t seem to like that very much. Fantastic buy - there is a lot of junk out there but this product is a very solid buy. I paid $299 for mine - I can’t believe it’s only $199 now! No pods - no wondering what is in your pod - spend the extra $100 you save on a descent burr grinder and go get a bag of your favorite coffee! You’re set!

This is my 3rd espresso maker in as many months. 3X is truly a charm! I'm impressed with this machine's design, which makes creating an excellent cappuccino foolproof. And for the price, the machine and its accessories have a sturdy weight. The funnel fits snugly in the coffee maker without too much effort (unlike other brands I've tried). There's a little divot in the funnel that aligns with the filter cup. This feature helps you sit the cup in the funnel properly, avoiding messy coffee grounds when you remove it after brewing. The frother is very good too. The only criticism I have is after you froth, there is a bit of leakage from the frothing tube, but I always clean the frother right away, so it's no biggie to wipe up a spot of milk from the counter. Another thoughtful item the manufacturer included was a small pin designed to clean the narrow tube connected to the frother. This coffee maker heats up very quickly: in just a couple of minutes its ready to use, same when frothing. One thing I've learned with this, and the other 2 machines I've had, it's important to avoid "over grinding" the beans. I grind them myself stopping before the texture is too fine. So far--I've been using this for about 3 weeks--it has yielded cup after cup of flawless cup of cappuccino. I'll follow up if I see any deviation.

I LOVE this machine!! the size, color, the esthetic everything! I'm new to the art of espresso and coffees so this machine fits all my needs. its easy to clean, brews quickly is it worth nearly $200? ehhhh... thats a decision you'll have to make on your own. The only issue is now I'm required to press the power button twice. before I pressed it once, it'll heat up and by the time I'm back from brushing my teeth all I have to do is press brew. I'm not sure why it's doing this now but it's getting a little annoying when I THINK I've powered it on only to come back to it still off.

It doesn't work due to the water can't be pumped in. Can't find the online support nor the ways to contact the seller.

So far so good. We ordered this for our pink vacation pad and lived it so much we bought one for our other home as well. We had a delonghi espresso machine that was pretty pricey. It has broken after only a few years of moderate use. We decided to go with this cute pink one instead and the ease of using this machine is worth it. We saved some money and still enjoy great coffee. I would recommend this machine.

It took a bit of time to learn how to use it (this is my first espresso machine) but it was pretty easy! The thing that I had to learn, and it's not in the instructions, is stop pressing the buttons over and over......... lololol...... ok, hear me out! When you turn it on all the lights are going to flash for what feels like freaking FOREVER. Just stop and wait!!!!! It's not broken, it's just not instantly ready. Lol... it actually heats up or something. So I suggest that you should turn it on and then start packing the coffee. Once it stops blinking, THEN press the 1 or 2 cups options. Also the milk frother...... idk.... there is a knob on the side of the machine that either sprays steam to froth the milk, or it sprays boiling water. All I know, is when I try to froth, it scorched the milk on the metal, and I can't get it off..... I think the boiling water spray is to clean out the frother, but..... yeah..... and yes I watched way too many YouTube videos and i ended up learning things I never wanted to learn 😆 🤣 😂 but not learning a thing that could help me understand my new gadget. Lastly do yourself a favor and get yourself a knock box. The edge of the trash can doesn't really work and whacking it on the countertop or sink will wake the dead.... if the developer/ manufacturer is reading this please make a tool kit that would match the pink of my machine! I need a small pink silicone mat, to work on to catch the grounds and drips during my brewing. My pink strawberry mat that is mouse pad material is getting stained. I also need a pink knock box, and a strainer that keeps the grounds down in the cup, not up in my water dispenser thingy. I also need a pink frother pot, and, a pink cup with spout that the brew goes into. Pouring the fresh brew from a tiny cup (because normal mugs do not fit underneath) and if you do have a mug that fits, transferring that liquid to your Stanley to make an iced caramel pumpkin macchiato makes a whole another mess. Since we don't have such a curated tool set, I'm left searching for items one by one. Overall I'm in love with my very pink coffee bar, and my pink espresso machine. It's not as instant as a keureg, but dang I havn't stopped at a coffee shop in almost 2 months which means it's already paid for herself!

I bought this after having the CMEP01 for about 2.5 years. I didn’t have any brand loyalty Or anything, but the old one made good coffee, and the price was right on this one. All in all, it’s a pretty good machine. The shots pull well, and have good crema. The overall design looks nice and it’s pretty small, especially considering it’s a 20 bar, so it doesn’t take up a lot of counter space. it’s also pretty easy to use having just four buttons for operation. My criticisms of it are mostly things that the older model had, but for some reason, this one doesn’t. First, I don’t know for certain, but I think the water tank is smaller because it seems like I am filling it up more often. Next, it seems to take a VERY long time to steam milk. It really feels like it struggles to get that last 15 to 20 degrees, Which ultimately result in it pumping more steam (A.k.a. water) into the milk. Next, the CMEP01 had a silicone pad on the tray that would prevent cups or shot glasses from moving around when the machine is running. For some reason, this one did not come with a pad, so my shot glasses bounce and rattle around all over, and sometimes I have to hold them still so the coffee actually goes in the glass. And lastly, the one that really irks me, the portafilter doesn’t have a guard on it to prevent the filter from falling out when knocking out grounds. The CMEP01’s portafilter had a little catch that you would flip up and hold on to the filter while you were knocking it. This one, similar to the CMEP01, has a small divot in the filter that fits into the portafilter cup, which you can then twist into a track and, in theory, prevent it from falling out. But if you don’t notice what position the filter is in, you risk losing your filter into your grounds box or trashcan. And even if the divot is turned into the track, it still has the potential to come out, which I’ve done multiple times. But, like the title says, it’s mostly okay. Had I known about these issues when I was shopping for a machine, I probably would’ve gotten another CMEP01. But overall, it works well enough for what I need it to do.

Entre café y café tarda más de 10 min en volver a calentar

I’ve been genuinely impressed with this Laekerrt espresso machine. For a compact home espresso maker, it delivers surprisingly rich shots with a nice layer of crema and has been very easy to use even for someone who doesn’t want a complicated setup every morning. One of the first things I noticed was the design — the pear white finish with the wood-tone accents gives it a modern café-style look that actually makes the kitchen counter look nicer instead of cluttered. It has a premium appearance without taking up too much space. The machine heats up quickly and the controls are straightforward, so making espresso, lattes, or cappuccinos feels simple and beginner-friendly. The steam wand also works well for frothing milk and creates smooth foam for homemade lattes and cappuccinos. I was able to get good texture without much effort. Compared to larger machines, this is a great middle ground between convenience and quality. It’s compact enough for condos, apartments, Airbnb kitchens, or smaller coffee stations, but still feels capable enough to make café-style drinks at home. I also appreciate that it’s relatively quiet and easy to clean. The removable water tank and drip tray make maintenance simple, and the overall setup doesn’t feel intimidating at all. If you want an espresso machine that looks elegant, is easy to learn, and makes consistently enjoyable coffee drinks without spending a fortune, this is definitely worth considering.

At first glance. Its great. If you Wanna watch someone open a present and not actually use it, it the bomb. However, when it comes to actually using it ...it completely bombs out. Water takes forever to heat up. For some reason it never wants to lock in. I practice over and over empty the second I have coffee its a 5 min struggle with spilled coffee grinds ans slop everywhere. There is no milk frother cup and through a few pretty nasty burns I finally found something to use. Over all. Two thumbs done.

Es una cafetera sencilla de usar, puedes preparar fácil espresso o capuccino en casa. No necesitas ser un experto para hacer un buen café. Lo que más me gusta es su diseño, es muy linda. Valió la pena la espera.

Me daba miedo, pero no me decepciono, desde el primer momento que la arme y la prendí funciono perfecto y facil, se calento rapido la bomba y el espumador muy bien para este tipo de rango de maquina, aun tengo que jugar con el molido del cafe para obtener mejor espreso, pero seguro se logra, me gusto mucho. La he usado 6 veces espero que dure...
