Our Customer Experiences
Great Machine For The Money

Yes, you really do need properly ground coffee to make the best of this machine. However the $ Capresso Infinity is fine for the job. This is an impressive machine for the money but it does have a learning curve. Follow the directions in the book, get a tamper that is sized to the portafilter (58mm), use some fresh roasted ESPRESSO beans and you'll be making coffee better than 95% of coffee shops with a little bit of practice day by day. One added suggestion, a ridgeless portafilter, which allows for better tamping.

Good
We received our first machine, plugged it in, and smoke started coming out of it. After calling Amazon, we were sent a replacement machine at no charge. We have had no issues with the replacement machine and it makes great espresso coffee, I think the issue with the first machine was a fluke
