About the CASABREWS Ultra Espresso Machine
The Ultra is a 20-bar, 1350 W machine for 120V outlets, sold in silver, beige and black. It measures 12.99 by 12.2 by 10.31 inches and has a stainless steel look. The portafilter is aluminum and takes the standard 58 mm size.
An LCD and buttons control it. You can choose single or double shots, adjust the brew volume (single shots 20 to 125 ml, doubles 20 to 250 ml), and use hot water and steam functions. PID control holds brew temperature, and one independent review lists the choices as 90, 92, 94 and 96 degrees (Celsius). The same review puts pre-infusion at about 5 seconds and warm-up at around a minute. The LCD also has a shot timer.
The removable water tank holds 73 oz. The machine has a low water alert, a descaling reminder and descale function, automatic standby and a factory reset. The box holds the portafilter, a 58 mm plastic tamper, single-wall and double-wall filter sets, a coffee spoon, a cleaning set and a recipe guide. The single-wall baskets are non-pressurized and the double-wall ones are pressurized. No milk pitcher comes with it, and there is no grinder.
Milk is steamed by hand with a 10 mm steam wand. The one independent review we opened found steam power weaker than ideal for fast frothing, though it still managed microfoam for latte art.
What owners report about the CASABREWS Ultra Espresso Machine
We found little owner feedback for this exact model that we could open and read, so this section stays short.
The independent review we read praises the build, the standard 58 mm portafilter, the adjustable PID temperature and the programmable shot buttons, and calls the machine fairly quiet for a vibration pump model. Its criticisms are weak steam, no milk pitcher, and pressure that does not drop right away when brewing stops, despite the 3-way solenoid valve. We found no long-term durability reports for the Ultra.
Who the CASABREWS Ultra Espresso Machine suits
The Ultra fits a beginner who wants a 58 mm portafilter, temperature control and a shot timer without paying for a larger machine, and who is happy to add a grinder. The pressurized baskets are forgiving while you learn, and the non-pressurized ones are there when your grinding improves.
Look elsewhere if you want a built-in grinder: the Breville Barista Express BES870XL or the Ninja Luxe Café Premier Series ES601 have one. If you want fast, automatic milk texturing, the Breville Bambino Plus BES500 does that on its own. The Ultra's steam wand is manual and, per the review we read, not strong.

Other espresso machine picks
The other badge winners in our espresso machines ranking.
Every score here comes from our ranking model; no editor sets the order. Too few review sites cover espresso machines for their verdicts to lead, so this ranking is led by owners. It ranks products by how happy owners are, holding back any product few owners have rated until more agree. How many rated it and how new it is only settle close calls, and value for money earns its own badge rather than a higher place. We compared 16 models for this guide before settling on these ten.
Brands can't pay to be included or to move up. We last checked these picks in October 2026.
