KOTLIE5in1 Level 7 Water Volume Espresso Machine, 19Bar Single Serve Coffee Maker for KEU* K-Cup Capsules/NES* Original/Dolce Gusto//Ground Coffee/44mm ESE,Hot&Cold Brew Coffee Machine(AC-513HF)

I have been very satisfied with this espresso machine. The design is sleek and modern, and the overall build quality feels solid and reliable. The temperature has been excellent, I always preheat the machine by running hot water through it without a capsule beforehand, and that ensures a hotter brew. I didn't notice any plastic taste in the water as some reviews mentioned, and found the coffee flavor really good. The noise and vibration levels are present but completely acceptable. The machine works well with a big mug, but a glass is always a better choice for expresso. Overall, I'm very happy with my purchase and would recommend it to anyone seeking a high-quality home espresso machine.

I bought this because I wanted a machine that did drip coffee, k-cups, and Nespresso pods. I was a little uncertain because of some of the negative reviews, but a used one came up for a good price so I thought why not try it. I actually really like it! It is small, so some tall coffee mugs may not fit (keep that in mind) but it has worked well for all 3 uses that I wanted it for. It does leak a little bit when I turn it on, but it’s not that much and I just wipe it up with a paper towel. I would say it’s about the same noise level as a Nespresso Essenza Mini, so a little noisy but not bad. If you’re looking for a versatile machine that serves one person at a time, this is worth it!

This is the worst coffee maker ever. I would give it no stars. It is small, can only hold 2 cups of water. It is loud and shakes when making coffee causing my coffee cup to drop off the edge and spill! Great way to start a Monday morning cleaning up spilled coffee. Coffee is never hot, just warm. I have to microwave it after making. I hate it!

I have the older Kotlie (brown design) that is excellent, just has a height restriction on cups since the base is not removable like this one is. I was excited with the redesign and tried this on sale. Unfortunately, most coffees made with the Keurig adapter or the Nespresso one (the main two I make) come out cold and I need to put them in the microwave for 20-30 seconds immediately. I'm sure that affects the flavor profile. I know they make a big effort of explaining cup height but that just isn't it. I tried two units (Amazon was very patient with letting try these out) and both behaved the same. They need to tweak their heating system. I did not try running water once through before making my coffee because, I'm just not going to do that. You should be able to make a cup without having to make a dry run and without having to microwave it before drinking (note, I always add milk). Older unit as I said was excellent and if anything espressos were very hot and required a minute to cool, but I'll take that over cold any day. Plan to try their other model as I really like this concept and like the company and hope they can sort this out.

What I like about this machine is that I can make coffee from K-cups, Nespresso pods, and ground coffee. I won’t be limited to buying only one type of capsule. The taste of the coffee is good. The only thing I don’t like is the size of the cup. It’s not possible to use a large cup. Another downside is the leaking after it's done brewing.

I have used this machine daily for several months now with ZERO issues. It makes a good double espresso or lungo. I like how easy it is to setup, use, program and how it makes nice frothy top espresso with deep flavor.I took off the little cup stand with the drip catcher so maybe that's why I don't have any issues with the rattling and cups moving around like some of the reviews said. Also the espresso is hot enough for me but I admit it's not boiling but I don't like to wait to quickly drink my espresso so it's okay for me.I bought it for it's flexibility but I ended up only using if with Lavazza grounds, the espresso is much better with grounds than using the KCup.I'm super happy with it and would recommend it.Frank

I’ve had the KOTLIE 5in1 Espresso Machine for a while now, and I’m genuinely impressed. The flexibility alone is worth the price—K-Cups, Nespresso Original, Dolce Gusto, ground coffee, and even ESE pods? Yes, please! It’s perfect for a household with different coffee preferences.The 19-bar pressure pulls a rich, crema-topped espresso, and the hot & cold brew options make it perfect year-round. I love being able to switch between bold espresso shots in the morning and a smooth iced brew in the afternoon.Also, the 7-level water volume control is a game changer—customizable for everything from ristretto to full mug. Compact, quiet, easy to clean, and looks sleek on the counter. Highly recommend for anyone tired of choosing just one system!

This espresso's coffee machine is very practical, you can use Nespresso pot, Italian and ground coffee for Cuban coffee, I would not recommend using k-cup as the base wouldn’t hold a regular size cup, it’s just for small espresso cup. Overall it’s easy to use and has a good heat level and pressure for foaming coffee.
