At a glance

The CASABREWS CM5418 is a small, inexpensive semi-automatic espresso machine. It has a thermoblock heater, a 51mm portafilter with pressurised single and double baskets, a pressure gauge and a manual steam wand. It suits beginners moving on from pods who want real espresso and milk drinks in a small space: it heats in under a minute, the steam wand is strong for the price, and owners like the crema. The trade-offs are noise and vibration, basic accessories, no temperature adjustment, and pressurised baskets that limit control unless you add a bottomless portafilter. Some owners report faults such as dead gauges and leaks, and long-term durability is unproven. In the UK it is sold mainly through Amazon, in silver only.

Strengths

  • Very compact (about 15 cm wide) and light, so it suits small kitchens
  • Fast heat-up (about 40–50 seconds) and steam readiness in about 8–9 seconds in independent tests
  • Owners consistently praise the espresso body and crema compared with pods and coffee shops
Show all (5)
  • The steam wand is surprisingly powerful for the price
  • Beginner-friendly, easy to clean, and seen as good value

Things to consider

  • Supplied baskets are pressurised only; proper unpressurised shots need a new portafilter
  • Noisy, with noticeable vibration when brewing and steaming
  • Owners report faults: non-working pressure gauges, early failures and leaks after months of use
Show all (5)
  • No temperature or pressure adjustment, an unmarked gauge, basic accessories, and quirks such as flushing before shots
  • Limited UK retail presence: mainly Amazon, silver only
Who is it for, and who is it not for?

Good for

  • First-time home espresso makers upgrading from pods on a budget
  • Small kitchens, offices or other tight spaces
  • Milk-drink lovers who want a capable steam wand at a low price

May not suit

  • Enthusiasts who want temperature control, accurate pressure readings or unpressurised baskets out of the box
  • Buyers who need a quiet machine or who put long-term reliability first

Show more (13)

Espresso quality

Most buyers whose reviews were read praise the espresso, especially its body and crema, and often compare it favourably with pod machines, earlier machines or coffee shops. Several say results depend on freshly ground beans and dialling in.

User experience · See source

Steam wand

Owners and both UK reviewers find the steam wand surprisingly powerful for the price. Owners also say it takes practice to get good microfoam.

User experience · See source

Reliability

Owners report several faults: a pressure gauge that did not work from new, a first unit that broke, water and steam leaking through the group head after about six months, and the shot not pouring with high gauge pressure after a year. Other owners report fault-free use for 18 months to a few years. The store's own AI review summary describes reliability as mixed.

Go to the original reviews

Owners mostly praise the espresso: full-bodied shots with real crema, often compared to coffee-shop drinks and a big step up from pods. They like the compact size, looks and quick heat-up. Beginners find it easy to use and clean, and many call it great value. The steam wand is strong but takes practice. The main complaint is noise and vibration. Some report faults, such as a dead pressure gauge, an early failure, or leaks and flow problems after months of use, while others report trouble-free use for years. Enthusiasts note the lack of temperature or pressure control and a few quirks, such as flushing before shots. A bottomless portafilter and a good grinder are often recommended.

    I’ve been using the Casabrews CM5418 daily for about 2–3 weeks to make espresso and milk drinks (mainly cappuccinos and lattes). … Espresso quality is surprisingly good once dialled in. With fresh beans and a medium-fine grind, it produces a decent crema and a strong, smooth shot. It’s not café-level, but it is clearly a step above pod machines and instant coffee. … Downsides: * Mostly plastic build (feels budget but not fragile) * Steam wand takes practice * Included accessories are basic * Not ideal if you want full barista control …

  2. A*** C*** 5/5 2 August 2026 Amazon Colour Name: A-silver

    Honestly didn’t know what to expect from this , first time I have tried making espresso myself at home. It’s brilliant . Simple to use , looks great, doesn’t take up a lot of room and produces lovely espresso. It heats up in seconds and is very easy to clean. …

    I’ve had this Casabrews machine on my kitchen counter for a year and a half now, and it’s been brilliant as a daily driver. … - Durability & Build: The materials feel surprisingly solid for the price point, and it’s proven to be a proper workhorse. It warms up quickly and hasn't given me a single issue in the last 18 months I've owned it. … - Steam Wand: Surprisingly powerful for a compact machine at this price point. …

  4. M*** P*** W*** 3/5 2 October 2026 Amazon Colour Name: A-silver

    Decent coffee, albeit a lot of vibration when making espresso and steaming milk (the mug I use to catch drips vibrates off the platform when steaming milk). After six months it's started to play up and leaks water/steam through the espresso head when using the steam wand. Also when making espresso the steam wand drips even though it's tightly closed. I will be looking to get it fixed/replaced under the warranty.

  5. m*** 4/5 20 May 2024 Amazon Colour Name: A-silver

    Bought this to replace a Delonghi machine which wasn’t working as well. This has a good pressure to make a good espresso. My only gripes with it are its noisy and vibrates quite a bit. The steamer for the milk takes a bit of getting used to. … Update - had this over a year and still noisy. … Starting to have an issue with it not pouring out and going up to a high pressure on the gauge, but this might be due more to my impatience at using the machine. Still happy with it.

  6. S*** D*** C*** 5/5 24 October 2026 Amazon Colour Name: A-silver

    Very good machine produces a perfect coffee. Fits into a small space. Tendency to vibrate when decanting. Would recommend a cloth or such like to place under

  7. P*** 5/5 13 October 2026 Amazon Colour Name: A-silver

    I recently bought a very similar machine from another brand and we stopped using it because the coffee had no body, no cream at the top. This one does. It's stylish, you can programme the one and two cup coffee length, and the coffee comes out very warm, and with cream on top. One small thing to take into account: the buttons beep when you press them, but they're not too loud.

    I’m a professional barista, this coffee machine is perfect for home. Make sure buy the bottom less porta filter.

  9. W*** C*** 5/5 31 October 2025 Amazon Reviewed in the Netherlands

    I'm in love! A week ago, I lived in the coffee gutters of society, drinking pour-over coffee that just didn't satisfy me. Today, I have a professional level cappuccino within reach. … visually beautiful, compact, sturdy, and minimal, which is exactly what I wanted. … P.s. A quality grinder set to an appropriate espresso grind is also crucial to success.

    While this unit lacks fine tuning controls for parameters like temperature, pull time, and pressure, it more than makes up for that by pulling consistent shots at an incredible cost. The unit is also compact, taking up less counter space than most standard…

    I’ve worked as a Barista, on and off, for over 25 years and I honestly could not be more impressed with this machine. For the price, I was really skeptical that it would be able to deliver quality shots and steaming capability, but this thing is amazing! Literally, the first shot I pulled was nearly perfect and after dialing in the grind a little on the Casabrews grinder, the next shot was spot on. Steaming the milk was a breeze …

  20. M*** p*** 3/5 22 February 2025 casabrews.com casabrews.com brand store review (colour not stated)

    This makes very good espresso for the money. However, you do need to run hot water for about 8 seconds (as recommended by Casabrews) before pulling a shot. In addition, when you go to steam/froth your milk of choice, a fair amount of hot water comes out …

Casabrews CM5418 Review | Can a Budget Espresso Machine Pull Great Shots? (Tips & Hacks)

The Casabrews CM5418 is a compact and affordable entry-level espresso machine that features pre-infusion and an integrated pressure gauge. While straight espresso shots from the stock pressurised basket can taste somewhat bland and bitter, it works well for milk-based drinks. With a few affordable upgrades, such as a non-pressurised basket and a proper grinder, it can produce genuinely impressive coffee.

Full in-home Review: Casabrews Espresso Machine (CM5418)

The CASABREWS CM5418 is an inexpensive, beginner-friendly semi-automatic espresso machine that delivers surprisingly good espresso with appealing crema. However, it suffers from a lightweight, tippy build, awkward steam wand placement, and finicky shot programming. It represents great value for beginners or small spaces, though users will still need to purchase accessories like a decent grinder and a milk jug.

CASABREWS CM5418 Compact Espresso Machine - Review 2026

The Casabrews CM5418 is a compact, entry-level semi-automatic espresso machine well suited to small spaces and beginners thanks to its narrow footprint and forgiving pressurised baskets. However, it relies on a single heating system, meaning you cannot brew and steam simultaneously, and the milk frothing wand is relatively slow. It also suffers from vibration that can shift lighter cups and lacks a three-way solenoid valve, leaving wetter coffee pucks.
