I have had this Chulux Espresso Machine since January and we use it daily. We have been very satisfied with it. I also have a Chulux Single Cup Coffee Maker for about a year that my spouse and I use daily as we enjoy a cup or two of regular coffee with breakfast. We really like that machine too.I had considered purchasing an espresso machine for some time, but didn't because of the high cost. Then I found this one from Chulux and decided to purchase it because of the Chulux brand and our satisfaction with our regular Chulux coffee machine.The reason I am writing this review on my Chulux Espresso machine now, after so much time, is that my son has just come home from South Korea and is staying with us for about a month before he returns there for another year on business.He says he is an "aficionado" (his word, not mine) of coffee/espresso and can't believe the low price and value of our espresso maker. He has a much higher priced machine in South Korea that he uses regularly and says that ours is as good if not better than his machine, so I thought I would post a review and share our thoughts with other Amazon shoppers that are considering the purchase of this machine.I too enjoy both regular coffee and espresso, frequently using different flavors. I guess that is where my son got his "cravings" from, it's in our genes!As said before, it is a great espresso machine and we love it. Chulux is a great brand. Don't hesitate to purchase this machine. It is a great price for a great machine.

I ordered this after returning an unused Virtuo machine because the Virtuo capsules are at least TWICE the price as the capsules for these 'original' series machines. I had no issues with my Chulux Nespresso machine, but here are a few comments:1) Some reviews stated that the coffee isn't hot enough. At first I thought that people were complaining because an espresso shot is very small and if it is brewed into a cold cup, then it will cool off very quickly. I've rinsed my coffee cups with hot water prior to brewing a capsule and the coffee just doesn't seem to be as hot as it should be. My wife doesn't care because she pours hers over ice anyway.2) The crema shown in the item images is WAY over exaggerated. My machine only produces a thin layer of crema but it is acceptable. I don't like Keurig machines because the NEVER produce any crema. This machine makes decent espresso, but don't expect barista quality brew.3) The benefit of this machine is that even my wife can make coffee with it. Push a button to turn it on, pop a capsule in it, then push a button to brew an espresso. It's very quick and easy. If you want a larger espresso, then you should probably use two capsules, one right after the other, or else you can make a Lungo, which is like Americano (watered down espresso).4) It's good for an office environment or small kitchen where space might be limited and ease of use is the priority. When I make espresso at home however, I grind my own beans and tamp them down into a filter cup to use with my pump driven espresso machine. The Chulux won't make coffee of the same quality, no matter what brand of capsules you use.5) I've tried Kimbo brand and Nespresso brand capsules so far. One good thing is that I get a good caffeine kick, especially from the Kimbo I think.6) It's a decent machine for a good price, and makes acceptable espresso. Just don't expect a large layer of crema like you see in the photos.

Bought this off brand to replace our 10 year old Brand Nespresso machine that was finally wearing out, thought we'd save a little. This did not last even 6 months as a daily coffee machine for 2 people. Started giving very little output, then started exploding pods, getting hot grounds everywhere, leaking water, turning a 15sec cup of coffee into a 20min process to clean every use to barely get anything, wasting pods and a worthless buy. Striaght to the trash since it of course lasted just beyond return window conveniently and just going with the brand name so we can have our coffee. Don't bother trying to use this.

The item worked very well, nice design, but then broke. The company was very professional and stood behind their product, and sent me a new one.

I absolutely love this espresso machine! It’s small, sleek, and fits perfectly in my coffee area without taking up too much space. Despite its compact size, it delivers rich, flavorful espresso with a beautiful crema every time. The machine heats up quickly, making my morning coffee routine fast and effortless.For such an affordable price, the quality and performance are impressive. It’s easy to use, easy to clean, and a great option for anyone who wants a high-quality espresso machine without spending a fortune. Highly recommend for small spaces and coffee lovers!
