Customers are dissatisfied with the leakage of the coffee maker. They mention that water started leaking from the top, pressure gauge, and edges.

Falls Short of Delivering.
I was really trying to hold out much longer before writing this review. However I think the time has come. I had been pulling my shots with a $25 espresso machine for 2 years and that died, so I thought time for a decent upgrade. I first purchased the BRIM 19 Bar Espresso machine on Thursday August 5, 2021 and it arrived the next day. After following the priming instructions to the letter, I was ready to pull my first espresso shot. I had bought a bag of decaf, plus a bag of espresso beans which I ground to varying degrees, to do the tests. I went through ALL the baskets that came with it the machine, from the two non-pressurized to two pressurized, pulling coffee. However, I noticed that the PRESSURE GAUGE on the front did not move AT ALL, no matter which basket, nor the type of grounds I put in the them. I was very disappointed. For a $300 machine I really wanted everything to work right away, out of the box. I ordered a replacement the Saturday, August 7, that arrived on Tuesday August 10. That was awesome, that the replacement was so quick.The GAUGE did move on this replacement, but sadly, BARELY, again no matter the basket or the grounds. The needle has NEVER reach halfway through the "Pre-Infusion" stage. Also, when I use the pressurized baskets, there is no nicely formed puck, just a soggy sludge when I empty the portafilter. The non-pressurized ones had a much dryer and better formed puck. I determined that the pressure isn’t enough to drive the water through the grounds in the pressurized baskets. The taste of the pull is also very weak from the pressurized baskets versus the non-pressurized ones. So I have been using just the non-pressurized baskets since. I eventually bought a bottomless portafilter to use deeper basket just to increase the flavor of the pull.Update: Oct 21 2023. It’s been 2 years since I bought this machine. I added a star as with LOTS OF TRIAL AND ERROR I think me and my Brim have a groovy little thing going. The learning curve was steep and I did lots of research for the right ground for espresso. and the only drawback is it’s without a burr grinder. I have a separate grinder though and have been pulling pretty decent coffee from my Brim. After all it was a $300 buy, not $3000.

1. You never get this quality machine on this price.

2. I've tried two espresso machines one is Breville BES840XLand the other one is Lelit PL41TEM. On breville, fine grinds not works very vell it bares drops espresso then it stops work after 2 weeks. On Lelit, steamer is lemon. It keeps throwing the water so you prertty much end up with mix of hot water and hot milk. (Seller gives a advice how I shall operate, but it didn't work)

3. The beauties of the Brim machine

- Compare to other machines, as the other reviewer pointed, machine handle is slided into receicer very smoothly

- Even though I use fine grind as 5, it drops so high quality espresso. (excellent espresso taste, crema looks really nice)

- Very easy to operate compare to Italian machines. Espresso shot button is automatic.

- Steamer is ideal. Water is barely leaking so I can drink just hot milk.

- As shown on the picture, I love all the components with excellent quality. The heavy temper is pretty which I guess around 25 dollar quality.

4. As shown on the picture, I see a small scratches on the edge. But it never affects to my point.

Overall, I used this machine only one week hope it works like happily ever after.

- As shown on the picture, I love all the components with excellent quality. The heavy temper is pretty which I guess around 25 dollar quality.

4. As shown on the picture, I see a small scratches on the edge. But it never affects to my point.

Overall, I used this machine only one week hope it works like happily ever after.

At first I was so disappointed because they sent me a machine that was used. It was dirty and gross so I put it right back in the box and sent it back. Well, they replaced it right away. No issues and they were fast about it. I just sent them a message. I didn’t have to waste my time on the phone with customer service which I really appreciate. They sent me a brand new, beautiful machine! I love it! I am very experienced in espresso machines because of being in the restaurant business for so many years so I didn’t have any issues using it or frothing the milk. It works so good! Makes a perfect espresso and the milk frother works just like it is suppose to. I will literally use this machine several times a day because I’m very devoted to my coffee/ espresso/ cappuccino. I’ll update if anything goes wrong but for now I am so super pleased.

I regret to say that my experience with the Brim 19 Bar Espresso Machine has been overwhelmingly negative, to the point where if I could give it 0 stars, I would.

Initially, the machine seemed promising, delivering satisfactory results for the first few days. However, my enthusiasm quickly waned as it developed a persistent leak, rendering it practically unusable.

My attempts to rectify the situation proved fruitless. Firstly, I attempted to pursue a replacement , only to find that the price had increased since my purchase, leaving me stuck with a defective product or paying more to return it and buy it again. In a last-ditch effort, I reached out to Brim directly, hoping to obtain a simple replacement o-ring to fix the issue. Unfortunately, my inquiries fell on deaf ears, as I received no response whatsoever.

To add insult to injury, my frustration was compounded by the discovery that replacement parts for the machine are virtually nonexistent, leaving me with no recourse but to initiate the return process.

In summary, the Brim 19 Bar Espresso Machine has been a source of disappointment and frustration from start to finish. Its inability to maintain functionality, coupled with the lack of support and replacement options, has left me deeply dissatisfied with my purchase. I would strongly advise potential buyers to steer clear of this product to avoid similar issues and headaches.

The learning curve was a bit challenging but the taste was phenomenal. The hardest part for me was the frothing. I do, however, love the look of the brim and can't wait to improve my brewing skills! Also, this was used-acceptable and there's not one dent or scratch on it!

If you buy a expresso Burr grinder to use with this, you can't be it for the price! Very high quality! Everything you see in pic is what you get and its all necessary and high quality...

I love the Brim brand. I have had one for several years and it is still running very well. We use it every day. We love it so much we purchased one as a gift this year. I love the new wooden handle. Thanks Brim!

There is no contact for Brim. The number on their website goes a a warranty sort of “clearing house” but there is no Brim Customer Service. I accidentally threw away the milk frother tip when I was soaking it and called Brim to order a replacement. They told me it was out of the 90-day warranty period. I said that’s fine, I wasn’t looking for a feee one. They said this umber is only for warranty repairs up to 90 days from purchase and there is no other way to contact Brim. The lady said I could go on eBay to try and find one. No luck. She said I could ask take it to a repair shop. It’s not broken. I just need a part. I’ve looked everywhere and have just had to order a separate frothing machine. Infuriating that I am not able to contact the actual company and cannot get a replacement part. Go with a better brand that has an actual contact number for the company and provides better service. No more Brim.

El producto es bueno y económico para lo que ofrece. Puedo texturizar o espumear la leche como en cualquier otra máquina de uso industrial exactamente igual que cuando trabajé de barista.

Aún no he probado el maneral pero imagino que será un buen café.

Muy fácil de usar, solo una función a la vez, he preparado 9 capuchinos de manera continua, solo que no se porque a veces el manómetro no funciona pero es irrelevante para preparar un excelente café.

Desafortunadamente no había podido probar el equipo, por cuestiones de salud, y hoy que la probé no funciona el manómetro que trae ni el doble shot, quise hacer devolución y para colmo ayer terminó el tiempo
