GEVI 20 Bar Semi Automatic Espresso Coffee Machine with OPV and Dual Display Touch Screen ECMN0

Great job to start. Bringing an equivalent piece of equipment to machine in that spectrum for a fraction of the cost. The design is top notch with all the sensors (OPV) and customization available. Starting with the packaging and finishing with an elegant machine built to last(steel all around). I love the two options for frothing and the timer makes things easier to dial your espresso to perfection. The machine is ready very quickly and very straightforward to operate and clean. I love the extra effort in the design ( storage for unused basket and brush). The 58mm size makes this machine a full grown pice of equipment leaving the competition in a wishful thinking state. Don’t even blink if looking for a new espresso machine. Awesome job gevi.

I have LOVED this machine! It is above and beyond what I need and has been such an incredible machine for the price. It looks incredibly chic and everyone asks if it’s a $800+ machine. Gevi is a great brand at a great price. Would recommend!!

Before Gevi, I made the mistake of being fooled by the promise of a “good”, cheap espresso machine on Amazon. After a month, I got sick and tired of a machine that couldn’t produce proper espresso. I needed something that had good pressure I could visually record, and that could get hot enough to produce crema from a lighter espresso roast. I also did not want to purchase an over-hyped Breville that would likely break—waste of money!

After doing some research, I saw how many people loved their Gevi and compared it to higher-priced brands. So, I decided on this little wonder right here. I’m so glad I did!

First, the quality and care put into this machine overall is fantastic. Not only does it look absolutely beautiful, but it’s nice and heavy! All of the parts have a quality feel. Even with the tamper; I wasn’t expecting something so heavy and well-made, but it is. Definitely beats the one I previously paid $30 for elsewhere.

Now, for the operation: I’m really impressed! It can be more difficult to get a decent crema out of a medium-(vs dark, i.e. Lavazza Super Crema) roast bean - I like to use beans from Partners coffee roasters. However, after maybe 4-5 times of experimenting with both grind size and amount of coffee - much less trial and error than on my old machine - I was able to produce a gorgeous crema and perfect puck! Further, the steaming wand’s performance is just as wonderful. While I was worried at first, I was able to get perfect milk texture on the first try. I’m beyond thrilled with my purchase.

For reference: I have barista training on a La Marzocco machine. I know what a good espresso/latte/etc. should look like, and I’m beyond happy to have found something much more affordable and smaller for home use. Once you get familiar with the machine, the quality is indistinguishable! Thank you, Gevi!

The pre-infusion and pressure gauge give me a real sense of control over the shot. It allows me to experiment with grind and tamp. I love the home barista experience.

This coffee machine has become a reliable coffee companion in my life, bringing me delicious coffee every day. Its stability, ease of use, and excellent coffee - making ability make me love it.
