Rank #9 in Best Espresso Machine 2026: 10 Ranked, and Why 20 Bar Is the Wrong Number
CASABREWS 3700 Essential 20 Bar Espresso Machine, 1350W, 1.3L Tank
Price and rating as shown on Amazon when we collected them. Both change.
The 3700 Essential is the second CASABREWS in this ranking and the cheaper of the two, but the listing keeps most of the important specification: a 20 bar pump, a 1350W thermoblock heating system, a 1.3 litre removable water tank, a manual steam wand, single and double shot filters, a removable drip tray for taller cups and an integrated cup warmer, in brushed stainless steel at 3.75 kilograms.
The manual steam wand is the difference from cheaper machines with a panarello sleeve: a wand takes more practice but produces tighter microfoam for latte art, which is what the listing is promising here. At the time of collection it carried 475 ratings at 4.2 stars. Everything here comes from the Amazon listing rather than our own testing.

What buyers actually say
Quoted from customer reviews on Amazon
Verified purchase“I bought this coffee machine for the second time. The first one is still working and is great. And the second one I bought for work. This machine is great. Easy to use. It has 20 bars of pressure which makes it a very effective coffee machine. Coffee from this machine is tasty and very hot. The look is modern and does the job. Of course, not everyone has to like it. But I like it. Easy to fill, easy to use. It has a function of heating the cup with steam before use. It has a function for making small and large coffee. Although for me there should also be a function for very large coffee. I use large coffee cups and here to fill such a cup I have to repeat the process of filling my cup. But this is not a disadvantage. From the less pleasant things I can say that the machine is quite loud during operation. But what other machine is not? The money I paid for it is very acceptable. It does not cost millions of coins like machines from the competition. I recommend this machine to anyone who does not need hundreds of functions and displays in their coffee machine. This coffee maker makes great coffee and doesn't cost much.”
Verified purchase“Having used this for nearly 6months I can say I'm really impressed... Easy to use, easy to fill with water, easy to clean. I like the automatic shut off ( I make my coffee- drink it- wash the cup- put cup back on top of warmer) then approx 2-3mins machine beeps and turns off having dried the remaining moisture left by washingMachine comes with single & double shot metal filter thingy, and dosing spoon/ compressing tool... All you need is ground coffee!I love watching the coffee getting dispensed... It's like watching a Guinness being poured as it settles - jet black with a 10mm cream head then the aromatics hit you..Mine is stainless steel construction, so looks the part and is simple to clean.Price was an investment for me at at time of purchase reviews were mixed - so a bit of a punt on my part.. However- I needn't of worried this machine is worth every penny.The taste/ flavour it extracts from the beans is excellent - when compared to 'coffee shops'.. and when you consider how much you pay at those places- this pays for itself in the 1st month...No regrets- no complaints from me”
