And I travel somewhat frequently to Europe and always come back thinking "I should get an espresso machine". This year I actually did it. After reading too many reddit posts, I chose this machine, and after a week have no regrets (yet!). I've still got a ways to go on latte art and dialing my shots, but so far the cortados I make are taste approximately vaguely in the ballpark of Blue Bottle ones, which is about as much as anyone with a used $65 machine (and a $10 basket, see below) should be able to hope for. I like the simple controls -- time your own shot, whether you like it or not; but I like it. Foamer works great. The only real upgrade I might want would be a temperature control but that's some advanced-level stuff. I got an desertcart returns one for approximately half-price; it was missing original packaging and had a few cosmetic scratches to the black under-tray. The delivery was also slow; it was three days later than estimated, and kept moving back ("your espresso machine will be there tomorrow . . . no, tomorrow . . . er, no, tomorrow"). But, for the discount, I'm not really complaining. It's here, and it works like new. This comes with pressurized baskets, which are forgiving of grind but produce mediocre-tasting shots. If you have a grinder that can dial in an espresso shot (deep rabbit hole there for you wander into; I'm using a Capresso Infinity with the burr screw slightly loosened, which works, but not sure I would recommend if you didn't already have one), you want to get yourself this unpressurized basket: [[ASIN:B07JM8F4YS]]. Drops right in. The little holder thingy on the Capresso portafilter is helpful for holding it in while tamping and knocking it out. A metal tamp will work much better and they are strikingly cheap, I like this one: [[ASIN:B09J7TQ36B]] One small failing of this machine is it seems like the shower head output is a bit uneven, so pucks end up with holes that might be causing channeling. I've been cutting out coffee filters stenciled with the tamp and putting them on top; it seems to help and also helps pucks fall out more easily. Cutting them out gets a bit wearying so I've also bought some 51mm filters: [[ASIN:B0CM6LLKNS]] A dosing funnel e.g., [[ASIN:B0D2D4DL2N]] helps get grounds in. If you want more height to fit a larger cup in, I've taken off the metal plate on the drain and put in a platform Lego, works fine. You can also take the whole drain out and just stuff a rag next to the drain output. The main other one around this price point was the Casabrews one. The main thing that swayed me is that Capresso has been around for a while, my Capresso Infinity grinder is still going after what must be 10 years, and the discounted price from getting an desertcart returns one. Review: i should have gotten something like this long ago! - I wanted to try a pump machine, after many years of using steam machines always with a more-or-less bitter tasting coffee. This Capresso sounded good in the descriptions, but I had some doubts because of other reviews, although several of them sounded like they might not have been running the machine properly - lots of "leaks" but never where the leak was coming from, etc. So I bought one to try it out, and have used it regularly for the past few weeks. I am VERY happy with it. It took several days of mess and experiment to understand how it works - and I actually read the manual, surprise surprise. It is well-wriiten, much easier to understand and much, much more complete than the usual foreign-languag-ey kind of thing. The machine makes excellent espresso, and its foamer works beautifully, makes a nice long-lasting foam - I don't know how it works, my experience with the old inexpensive steam machines was pretty bad. One of the best things about the Capresso is that you can make as many capuccinos as you want, one after another, without waiting for anything to re-heat or cool down or be cleaned and refilled!! They have some kind of internal hot-block and they pump the water through it in one way to make the espresso and in another way to make the steam for foaming - there's no "boiler", when you shut off the steam it just stops!! And that's where the "leak" review must have originated. Because there's no boiler (so you can keep making them one after another until you need to replenish the water tank!) what they do when you shut off the foaming is to release the steam pressure in the foaming pipe into the drip-tray - so you get the last puff of steam and hot water into the tray. After 2 or 3 capuccinos the tray is full. Since I have to put fresh coffee grounds in for each new cup (duh!), I just empty the tray at the same time - saves thinking about it. Anyhow, I don't know how sturdy it is, etc etc, but it doesn't seem to be fragile or flimsy, so I have hopes that it will last. In the meantime, we'll just enjoy the coffee! ## Features - Note: 1)Too coarse a grind, too little coffee, or insufficiently tamping the grounds before brewing can all lead to inadequate pressure for a proper brew. 2)It is important to note that the amount of espresso extracted will vary depending on the grind size and amount and reprogramming may be needed when the size and amount are adjusted.Filter type:Reusable - THERMOBLOCK HEATING SYSTEM: Stainless-steel lined heating system with 15 bars of pressure for high-pressure brewed espresso - TWO FILTERS: For one or two espressos or pre-packaged espresso pods - HEAVY-DUTY: Stainless steel construction with large, integrated cup warming tray - SWIVEL FROTHER: Unlimited steam output for perfectly frothing or steaming milk for cappuccinos and lattes - EASY TO FILL: Removable 46-oz water container for easy filling and cleaning - HOUSING: ABS plastic and stainless steel accents ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B004NTBLR0 | | Best Sellers Rank | #409,840 in Home & Kitchen ( See Top 100 in Home & Kitchen ) #119 in Semi-Automatic Espresso Machines | | Brand | Capresso | | Brand Name | Capresso | | Capacity | 1360.38 ml | | Coffee Input Type | ground | | Coffee Maker Type | Espresso Machine | | Color | Black | | Customer Reviews | 4.2 out of 5 stars 783 Reviews | | Filter Type | Reusable | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00794151401907 | | Human Interface Input | Buttons | | Included Components | Espresso Machine | | Item Dimensions D x W x H | 8.25"D x 10.25"W x 11.75"H | | Item Type Name | Pump Espresso and Cappuccino Machine | | Item Weight | 4.08 kg | | Manufacturer | Capresso | | Material | Plastic | | Model Name | EC100 | | Model Number | 116.04 | | Number of Items | 1 | | Operation Mode | Semi-Automatic | | Other Special Features of the Product | Internal GrinderProgrammable | | Output Pressure | 15 bar | | Part Number | FBA-|230130 | | Power Source | AC adapter | | Product Dimensions | 8.25"D x 10.25"W x 11.75"H | | Recommended Uses For Product | Espresso and Cappuccino | | Special Feature | Internal GrinderProgrammable | | Specific Uses For Product | Cappuccino, Espresso | | Style | Machine w/ Burr Grinder | | UPC | 735343478499 794151401907 791769543463 411378183484 793842101973 732233486275 | | Unit Count | 1 Count | | Warranty Description | 1-years limited warranty | | Wattage | 1350 | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Capresso - **Capacity:** 1360.38 Milliliters - **Color:** Black - **Product Dimensions:** 8.25"D x 10.25"W x 11.75"H - **Special Feature:** Internal GrinderProgrammable ## Images ![EC100 - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71Y2KoeiURL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Color** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: Are the baskets stainless steel?** A: The basic filter exterior of the basket and the portafilter are stainless steel, but there is plastic at the bottom of the filters (both single filter and double filter), which is something I really don't like. But the machine works great so far, after a month of 6 espressos a day. Bought at Costco, not on Amazon. **Q: Where can you find replacement parts for the handle that holds the espresso? I'm looking for the black piece that sits under the sieve?** A: I called Capresso for the same thing and they couldn't have been nicer. You should be able to find the number online **Q: Has anyone tried a 20 oz steamer cup with this model?** A: We bought the KRUPS XS5020 20 Ounce Stainless Steel Milk Frothing Pitcher, Silver. It works terrific with the Capresso EC100 to steam the milk separately. We make the espresso directly into a mug or small pitcher, however. **Q: what pods does it take?** A: I use ESE pods, exclusively with this machine. I bought the machine to use at work. The pods I use are Caffe Gioia, ship from a company called C&D foods (www.cndfoods.net), are from Italy. They come in a case, either with or without a "kit" which consists of sugar packets, stirrers, and small plastic cups. The machine works splendidly with the pods! ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Amazing value; accessories to consider *by J***S on August 19, 2024* I worked near a Blue Bottle coffee for several years and came to appreciate the "Gibraltar", which is basically a cortado.

So I started looking for another machine of the same size (many of them are just too large, regardless of features). I finally chose the Capresso and, thus far, I could not be happier. The machine has a generous water tank, is straightforward to use (although I have not used the frother as I bought a Souvia milk frother on Amazon in late 2018 and love it), and makes a great espresso for my morning latté. A nice rich flavor, excellent crema, and nice and hot. I will write an update later but my first impression is that this is a terrific value and a solid machine. UPDATE April 23, 2021 I have now used this machine at least daily for my lattés. It is just fabulous! It heats up quickly, makes fabulous rich créma without fail, has such a generous water tank, and is easy to maintain. I'm sorry I didn't make the change sooner! BTW I use a Gourmia frothing machine (on Amazon at https://www.amazon.com/Souvia-Automatic-Frother-Steamer-Machine/dp/B08X6D8ZR9/ref=sr_1_3?crid=DU7QOAJP2SVP&dchild=1&keywords=souvia+milk+frother&qid=1619201636&sprefix=souvia+milk+%2Caps%2C212&sr=8-3), which has only two reviews but I have had mine for 2-1/2 years and it is also fabulous. The frother allows me to froth milk while I'm brewing the espresso, and I am a happy camper! ## Frequently Bought Together - Capresso 116.04 Pump Espresso and Cappuccino Machine EC100, Black and Stainless, 46 oz - RSVP International Espresso Coffee Kitchen Tool Home and Commercial Use, Dual Sided Tamper, Aluminum Alloy - Update International EP-12 12 Oz Stainless Steel Frothing Pitcher, Silver --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://czech.desertcart.com/products/711488-ec100](https://czech.desertcart.com/products/711488-ec100) --- *Product available on Desertcart Czech Republic* *Store origin: CZ* *Last updated: 2026-09-06*
