What to know before you buy

The Chefman CraftBrew positions itself as an ultra-compact, entry-level semi-automatic machine stripped down to the absolute essentials required for making milk-based espresso drinks.

It relies on a standard thermoblock heating element and a 15-bar vibratory pump to drive water through a pressurized portafilter.
