Expert Reviews


What reviewers liked

if you’re really on a tight budget, then the Sowtech Espresso Machine is the best choice you have in the meantime until you can buy another machine in the future.
I definitely recommend it to anyone looking to (lightly) invest in a machine.
The powerful milk frother allows this espresso machine to make a delicious cup of cappuccino or even a latte, for that matter.

This compact espresso machine is the perfect option for the coffee lover that wants to enjoy an espresso, cappuccino or latte, but don’t want to spend a ton or have a bunch of added extras. This simple espresso machine makes a great cup of espresso, is simple to use, and easy to clean.
The Sowtech Espresso Machine has a space-saving design that’s easy to clean and ideal for small kitchen spaces. It can make up to four espressos at once.
The very small machine also features a steaming wand which makes adequate froth. In addition, you get a lot of accessories, such as a super convenient carafe that could hold the four cups of espresso.

What reviewers didn't like

It will function well at first but can encounter problems as time passes such as the steam failing to heat the milk. Other times, it may burn the milk and not be able to give out good milk at all. This is a fatal mistake for a product that only does half its job and can turn away interested people.
My only complaints? The steam knob is a little finicky. Make sure it is fully off or it will continue to steam.
Inconsistent results. May not create the best froth
