Third-party reviews

What we like about BEEM ESPRESS-GRIND-EXPERT

  • Dual thermoblock heating system allows for simultaneous espresso brewing and milk steaming
  • Equipped with a commercial-style 58mm heavy portafilter
  • Integrated conical burr grinder featuring 30 distinct grind settings
  • Electronic PID temperature controller ensures consistent water and brewing temperature
  • Generous 2.8-liter removable water tank capacity
  • Built-in grinder illumination light providing clear visibility during operation
  • Clear digital display showing extraction and grinding time parameters

What we don't like about BEEM ESPRESS-GRIND-EXPERT

  • Initial configuration and dialing-in process for personal taste preferences can be time-consuming
  • Lacks a built-in automated tamping mechanism, requiring manual tamping
  • Single espresso shot settings may require extra adjustments to dial in properly
  • Steam wand nozzle uses a single-hole design which can slow down the milk frothing process
  • Stainless steel drip tray is prone to surface scratching over time

Verdict

The BEEM ESPRESSO-GRIND-EXPERT is a premium 1250-watt portafilter coffee machine featuring an integrated 30-stage conical burr grinder, a 15-bar ULKA pump, and a dual thermoblock heating system that allows for simultaneous espresso extraction and milk steaming. Its primary advantages include precise temperature stability via an electronic PID controller, an intuitive touch display showing extraction and grinding times, a commercial-sized 58mm portafilter, and generous capacities with a 2.8-litre BPA-free water tank and a 250g bean hopper. However, users may find the machine's overall footprint relatively bulky, single-shot extractions can require extensive dial-in adjustments to master, and some plastic exterior components contrast with its otherwise heavy-duty stainless steel build.
