Excellent espresso machine! Super Value.
It has been years since I was looking for an espresso machine.
I was introduced to a popular machine through a friend.
It produced an excellent espresso.... so I wanted one but too pricey for me and it uses a 54mm portafilter.
Enter the Gevi Ezbru 1000.
Wow!
full featured at less than $200.00
Got one.
Could not be happier.
It checked all the boxes for me:
- 58mm portafilter
- pre-infusion
- PID or automatic temp control
- compact
- build quality is very high...similar to the popular machine I referred to above
- 1 year warranty (extended 6 months for free)
- great price (particularly for an espresso machine using a 58mm portafilter)
Straight out of the box, it produced excellent expresso.
Very straightforward operation.
Fantastic espresso (did I say that already?)
Stream wand works very well.
Minimal wait time for the machine to warm up (maybe 1 min)
Puts a smile on my face each time I drink my espresso/latte.
Notes:
- I got a better tamper since the one that came with the machine is lacking.
- a dosing cup; to make life easier for me
- metal puck screen; to get consistency plus my used espresso pucks end up dry
- You will need a grinder that can grind for espresso
All and all I highly recommend this machine.
I'm very happy with it.
