Third-party reviews

What customers like about CASABREWS 3700Essential

  • A 20 bar pump is strong enough for proper espresso shots.
  • Four buttons make it easy to operate.
  • Tamper, measuring spoon and two filters come in the box.
  • The 1.3 L removable tank sits at the back for easy filling.
  • The steam wand also dispenses hot water.
  • The two-cup function brews two cups at once.

What customers don't like about CASABREWS 3700Essential

  • The steam wand needs wiping and purging after every use.
  • No milk pitcher is included.
  • There is no automatic milk frother.
  • There is no built-in grinder.
  • There is no display or temperature setting, so you judge by feel.

Verdict

Pulling your own espresso is what the CASABREWS 3700Essential is built for, and its 20 bar pump is the main reason to look at it. It suits someone who wants to learn hand-pulled espresso, with a portafilter, a tamper and a measuring spoon in the box, plus two filters. Four buttons keep the controls simple. The 1.3 L tank comes out from the back, so refilling is easy. A two-cup setting and a hot water outlet cover a quick tea too. The steam wand needs wiping and purging after every use, which becomes a habit fast. Milk is the trade-off: there is no frother and no pitcher, so you will need a jug and some practice. It is a good fit for a first home barista who is happy to put in some effort.
