Surprisingly, great little uni
Let me start by saying I really enjoy good quality coffee, and regularly go out for a treat to my favourite shop so that I can have top quality! I purchase this unit before Christmas, more of curiosity than anything, as I wanted an espresso maker, but didn’t know where to start without a huge cost! I’m honestly flabbergasted at this little unit. It pressurizes well, and provides a decent espresso! My preference is latte, so having the steamer on the side, integrated, works quite well! As soon as the water has heated enough to begin the brewing process, just switch the dial to steam, prepare your milk, returning to coffee ‘mode’ once your milk has been perfectly steamed! Given the previous reviews, I’ve been careful to treat this machine well by unplugging it when not in use, and releasing the steam pressure after each use. I actually keep it unplugged, just in case I forget to roll the dial to off. It’s been over two months, and I am very pleased with all that it has offered! Unquestionably worth the price in my mind!
Update: two years later, this little machine is still serving me up an Americano and steamed milk, every weekday (French press on the weekends!) I questioned how long it would last, and it has absolutely held up, with the care outlined above. Would definitely recommend and would definitely buy again.
The IMUSA USA GAU-18202 4-Cup Espresso/Cappuccino Maker has completely upgraded my morning routine! For the price, this little machine delivers incredible value. It’s compact, easy to use, and brews rich, flavorful espresso with a great crema layer. I love that it makes up to 4 cups, which is perfect for sharing (or for those extra-long mornings).
The frother works surprisingly well — it produces nice, creamy foam for cappuccinos and lattes once you get the hang of it. Cleaning is quick and simple, and the machine heats up fast, which is great when you’re in a rush.
If you’re looking for an affordable, no-fuss espresso maker that delivers delicious coffee without breaking the bank, this IMUSA model is a fantastic choice. Highly recommend for beginners or anyone who wants caf-style coffee at home!
Don’t get this if you are looking for the best quality espresso you’ve ever had. It’s a cheap machine that makes concentrated coffee. It does what it needs to and does it well. I use it often for just a super powered cup of coffee. It pushes steam through coffee grounds. You don’t tamp the grounds as that can hinder the operation.
The power switch is a little odd in that it doesn’t turn off when it’s done “brewing”, but I can’t imagine being so impatient that you can’t wait in the kitchen for the 3 minutes this thing takes to finish and just turn it off when it’s done. People complaining it doesn’t auto shut off… well that’s a first world problem if I have ever seen one. If you are running late and 3 minutes is going to break you….well you probably shouldn’t be making coffee then should you?
The steamer is just a tube that blows steam. Nothing special there. Cleaning it can be a pain as the plastic bit on the end is loose. I do love the little glass carafe, if that’s what it’s called.
Long story short, it’s a real cheap and compact way to make a quick cup of a little harder hitting joe. Great for small kitchens and campers.
I’ve used it 3x and it makes a great cup of expresso. Nice and compact- doesn’t take up much space. Easy to use. Doesn’t cause acid reflux like coffee did. Time will tell if it lasts. Happy with purchase.
UPDATE: Customer service replied, and after sending pictures and proof of purchase, they sent me a replacement lid. Now I no longer have any problems with the product.
Overall, we have enjoyed this espresso machine. I purchased it on sale. Using the product is very simple, and we like the size and enjoy that it makes 4 shots at a time. The frother does amazing work, and we use heavy cream, not milk. It makes the heavy cream frothy and delicious.
The only issue I have is the gasket for the water reservoir lid. The first time my husband used it, clouds of steam came from the lid, and it did not brew due to a lack of pressure. This was not my experience using it, so we looked deeper. Apparently, the lid gasket had come off and was improperly seated on the lid. The product guide does not mention this gasket, so we weren’t sure exactly how it was supposed to go on. We took a guess and replaced it. It worked fine for some time after that. Then today, the issue occurred again. We took the lid off, and the gasket was in place; it hadn’t fallen off. I decided to flip the gasket over and gave it a go. It worked fine after that.
If you have issues with the gasket, the image attached with the gasket in the lid is the way I THINK it’s supposed to go.
I have since emailed Imusa customer service about this issue. I asked for a replacement gasket since there were none listed on the company website, and requested guidance on its proper care and placement on the lid. I will update my review once I hear back from them.
My coffee maker died and while searching for a replacement, I came across this little gem. Comparably priced, this IMUSA Cappuccino/Espresso maker is impressive and oh, so affordable at only $4 more than a standard coffee maker. The assembly is simple. The end result is delicious. The milk steamer function is delightfully easy to use. I used 2 scoops of ground espresso coffee sold in a little block.
For Cappuccino, I fill the tiny pot to the top of the metal band at top of pot. I use a glass one-cup Pyrex measuring cup for the 1/4 cup milk. Be advised that to access the steamer, you must wait until the tiny 2-serving pot fills to the first line (~) and then, switch the on/off/brew knob from Brew to the Steamer function. Before you switch to the Steamer function, make sure your milk container is held beneath the steamer and the head of the steamer is submerged to avoid steam or splatter issues. I hold the measuring cup by the bottom and the froth is usually substantial by the time the milk is hot – I can feel it through the bottom of the glass measuring cup. The more fat in the milk, the less froth develops. I use whole milk successfully but have also tried half and half with lackluster results. After steaming/frothing is adequate and while still holding container under steamer, switch back to Brew function, set down frothed milk, and brew will complete. Unplug the machine when Brew light goes out.
I added two tablespoons of chocolate syrup to my cup, stirred the whole tiny pot of coffee into it, poured milk topped with foam in using a tiny rubber spatula to get every bit of froth, and dusted with Cinnamon. Shredded dark chocolate would be great here, too.
Espresso is made exactly the same way, just omit the entire milk/steamer part.
If it’s your birthday, add one shot Jonah’s Curse Black Coffee Rum to your cup before pouring the coffee.
The only downside about this product is that since you have to wait until machine cools completely to make a second tiny pot, you only get one serving at a time. Unless you’re making espresso and then, you get two full espresso cup servings. So if you want to enjoy Cappuccino with a friend, it’s going to be tricky. Otherwise, drink it slowly because you’re going to want more and the machine has to cool. Enjoy:)
It’s perfect in my small kitchen, simple yet very effective. Makes a fantastic cup of coffee. Frother works great. Have had it almost a year now and still makes amazing coffee.
Great value, sure beats spending big $$ on those other fancy ones!
