CAFELAT Robot Espresso Maker

Simple design, very satisfying. For how simplistic it is it really makes some amazing espresso

I did not expect it to produce a near-perfect espresso, but it did. If I ever get a better grinder, I think it can do even better.

I’ve struggled, trying to make decent espresso with a variety of different machines, but with the robot - once I got it figured out - it’s easy and delicious.

Love the candy apple red color, but the functionality and simplicity is amazing. Works well with variety of doses & ratios. Really enjoyable coffee tool.

This device makes excellent espresso, no need to upgrade in the future. It is also solid, made of hefty metal parts, no plastic. Only some silicone gaskets need to be replaced when they wear out over time. It should be the last espresso maker you buy. Highly recommended. And the price is right.

Love this coffee maker.
Thank you !

When I first set it up I couldn't get any pressure. I checked online and a common problem was a compromised piston seal. Luckily, an extra piston seal was included and I swapped them out and now it works perfectly.

Definitely very happy with my investment in this awesome little machine. You guys had it at the best price point that I saw, Feel like I got away with some thing here! Very happy.

I've been using the Cafelat Robot Espresso Maker for a while now, and I absolutely love it! This machine is a game-changer for anyone who enjoys a great cup of espresso without the complexity of high-end machines. Here are a few reasons why I’m so impressed with it:

Ease of Use: The Cafelat Robot is incredibly user-friendly. Even if you're a beginner, you'll find it straightforward to operate. There's no need for electricity; it’s all manual, which I find quite satisfying. You have complete control over your brew, and it’s a great way to get hands-on with your coffee-making process.

Build Quality: The build quality is impeccable. The Cafelat Robot is solidly constructed with high-quality materials, giving it a sturdy feel. The parts are robust and designed to last, so you don’t have to worry about frequent replacements. It's a beautifully designed piece of equipment that looks great on any countertop. You can tell that a lot of thought and craftsmanship went into its design and production.

Espresso Quality: The most important part: the espresso it produces is excellent. You can achieve a rich, creamy shot with a fantastic crema. The machine allows you to experiment with different grinds and tamping pressures to perfect your brew.

Pressure Gauge Position: One small suggestion I have is regarding the pressure gauge. It would be nice if you could rotate it to face up for better visibility. Currently, you have to look at it from the side, which can be a bit awkward during use. It’s a minor thing, but having that flexibility would enhance the user experience.
Overall, the Cafelat Robot Espresso Maker is a fantastic addition to any coffee lover’s kitchen. It’s easy to use, easy to maintain, and the build quality is top-notch. If you're considering a new espresso maker, I highly recommend giving this one a try. You won’t be disappointed!

This is my first espresso machine, but I have enjoyed using it a lot. It gives you a lot of control and ability to tweak you shots, so there is a lot to play around with, which is helpful to dial in your shots even if you don't have a great espresso grinder yet.

Opted to go with no pressure gauge but would of helped for the first couple shots so I can tell what pressure I’m pulling the shots on, but once grind is dialed in, this makes awesome coffee and you can control all aspects of pressure to pre infusion.

I bought this for travel but have ended up using it instead of my electric machine at home. Makes great espresso once you dial it in and get some muscle memory for it. It does take a fair amount of force depending on grind/tamping. You get a mild upper body workout with your coffee, especially if you use a manual grinder too!

The robot poops espresso, and its good

Came well-packaged. Looks great and makes great coffee!

Awesome machine. Makes great coffee and looks great!

Amazing machine! Quick to pull a shot and quick to clean up

Fun and delicious. It is an adventure learning the ins and outs of espresso. Looks cute and fits on my kitchen counter. The same thought that is going into manual home espresso makers should be devoted to stand alone milk steamers.

The Robot makes great shots, and it is portable. So now with my new travel companion, I no longer have to be tied to my heavy espresso machine at home.

Many use the Robot day-to-day. For me, the process is a bit too manual and the temperature a bit uneven shot to shot. For everyday use, I opt for a semi-automatic.

As to service from Eight Ounce, I could not be happier. Ordering the Robot a few days prior to my travel, they made certain that the shipping was processed on the same day that I made the purchase. And sure enough, it arrived the day prior to my departure. Eight Ounce is fabulous!

What a great idea. So many espresso machines are complicated, fussy, and high maintenance. But why?!? All we're trying to do is to push hot water through coffee grounds at pressure. The robot does that, and it does it with a bare minimum of parts. The parts that it does use, though, are very high quality. The design is very well thought out, and the robot feels like it should last a lifetime. Most importantly, though, it makes excellent espresso! And it doesn't hurt that it looks quite attractive on the countertop.

The Cafelat Robot is a lifetime purchase.
When I first opened it, the first thing I noticed was how it was larger than I expected. Then, I noticed how everything from the portafilter, to the tamper, double spout, coffee filter, etc is just so well made.
The Robot itself is just flawlessly high quality.

Absolutely satisfied with my purchase, and would highly recommend it to others on the fence reading this!

My wife and I use this every day and love it. Don't forget to join Facebook and reddit group for the Robot for tips.

Still Loving this product after a month of owning it!

Love It

Love that I don’t need to preheat.

I've had about a month to get a feel for this great little manual espresso machine. There's a learning curve, but that's half the fun.

I've had about a month to get a feel for this great little manual espresso machine. There's a learning curve, but that's half the fun. I've had to play around with the grind quite a bit on my Orphan Espresso hand grinder. Also, it takes some time to get a feel for the pre-infusion and how to generate the right pressure to achieve 6 or 7 bars; which in other words gives you a lot of flexibility. I've produces some great shots with freshly roasted beans. Best purchase I've made in a long time.

Really amazing communication and an amazing store. A good place to buy the Robot from. The Robot is such a neat and powerful machine. It takes up little counterspace, does not require a plug, and produces some extremely rich espresso. A really great purchase. And I highly recommend!

I upgraded from my Breville Cafe Roma to the Cafelat Robot standard. The espresso made from this machine is noticeably richer and sweeter than the breville after dialing in my grind setting; I use a Kingrinder K3. I also think the workflow is actually easier and more efficient on the robot (I don't have to wait for the machine to warm up/ temperature surfing, etc) I love the retro look and the building quality is top notch. Overall, I enjoy using this machine daily and I'm very satisfied with this purchase.
