We've had this for about a month and it's performing perfectly. The pressure gauge is very handy and allows us to easily dial in to 9 bars (using a Sette 270 grinder, it's fun to see the pressure swing between, for example, a 4d and a 4f). It's operating exactly as we hoped it would, with high quality shot output. The steaming wand works great and, once you get the hang of it, easily makes "silky milky" as Lance Hedrick would say. The light was a nice surprise. We also love that once it heats up it makes no sound! We bought a CAPFEI 58mm bottomless portafilter to use with it - fits great (mentioning this because we bought two others first that didn't fit). The water tank is easy to fill and the tray slides out easily for cleaning. It's a fantastic espresso maker and we highly recommend it if you're looking for a solid machine at a lower price point.

Extraordinary Machine for the value. All the features work as described. This is in fact a Gemilai 3007Z rebranded so quality is also ensured.Heating up take about 5 min, but if you want consistant temp just wait a few more minutes after it reaches set up temp. 58mm protafilter is definitely a plus, easy to find accessories around.Steam wand is kind of short, and you need to wait a little bit for water to be cleared and steam is not as dry.

I've now had the MiiCoffee Apex for a couple of weeks and feel comfortable writing a review for it. Coming from a Sage Barista machine with a built in grinder, I wanted something to pair with a DF54 grinder that featured a 58mm portafilter, PID temperature control and some automated ability to time shots.I saw some reviews on YouTube about this machine and thought I'd give it a whirl. The machine itself is nice and simple, three buttons - power, manual and automatic. The automatic shot button allows you to configure the appropriate time which once dialled in is handy to have and it heats up in almost no time at all.The included accessories are fine and nice-to-have, the portafilter is quite solid and performs well, but I've since replaced it with a bottomless one to get better visibility of the shots I'm pulling.The only real downside is that the steam wand isn't a no-burn type, so you have to wipe it down very well after each use, but it works great. It's not the quickest in the world, but I'm also not the best at microfilming milk! The Apex has a single hole tip which works really well as long as you do a quick purge before steaming.The seller has also been great when I have asked a couple of questions. So far, really pleased with the machine and I think it offers great performance for the price. Only other comparable machines with similar spec are upwards of £800 (Profitec Go). Hoping to get many, many shots of espresso from this one!

Initially I had a problem with the boiler sensor, but the salesperson gave me all the assistance and the problem was solved. Even so, I believe that this machine is the best cost-benefit option to have at home. Leaving aside the poor pre-infusion and the fact that it does not have a factory OPV valve, this machine has several features that are only found in machines with a much higher price tag. It has a PID that works well, a pressure gauge, shower water flow control, a 550ml stainless steel boiler for espresso extraction, combined with a thermoblock dedicated only to steaming milk. In other words, two individual heating systems, one for each function. I found this to be brilliant and economical! I really liked the result I got in the cup. Today I am very happy with this Miicoffee Apex!

I received a defective machine. The bar pressure remained at zero everytime I attempted an extraction. I really had I hopes for this machine but was let down.

There are some false claims in the listing. 1. The machine is not calibrated to max out at 9 bars; it depends on the grind and does to create pressure. 2. They also claim that the "preinfusion" is now fixed on the product listing, but they still shipped me a machine without the fix. The only way to fix it is by opening up the machine and changing the circuit board, which they claim will be shipped to owners of earlier models.Some things to be praised: this machine has similar functionalities to machines that are way above this price range, besides not having an overpressure valve and hot water function. The downside is that the materials used are less premium, and you will need to pair it with a good grinder that has a good range of settings for espresso.That being said, MiiCoffee Apex is definitely capable of pulling good shots, and it will make an incredible entry machine for beginners for a few reasons:1. It uses a 58mm group head, so there is no need to change out accessories if you upgrade to higher-end machines.2. It forces you to learn about espresso fundamentals such as grind sizes, dosing, pressure, and puck prep because of the lack of OPV. If you can learn to control these variables, it is possible to consistently achieve the advertised 9-bar extraction (I hope OPV can be added in future versions because it simply makes life much easier).3. Because the machine has a dual heating system (boiler for the brew group and thermal coil for steam), you can steam as much milk as you like instead of waiting for the boiler to heat up like single-boiler machines. Though sacrificing steam power a little bit, this machine with the stock 3-hole tip can create good microfoam if you add enough air into the milk and find the sweet spot to create a whirlpool.

The unit is attractive, and looks to be well made. It is easy to use and produces an adequate shot of espresso. If you like lattes this is not the machine for you. It does a poor job of milk frothing.

Possibly returning it. The steam wand doesn't produce good steam and is extremely slow. For the first 40-60 seconds it spits out water. After that it starts to spit out some very wet steam. It's not good for frothing. It's pretty much useless. The espresso brewing is pretty good, however. Maybe I have a defective unit.Update: I've found that the steam wand works great once the entire machine has reached temperature. Initially I thought since it has a dedicated thermoblock for the steam wand the overall machine temp didn't matter, but it made an insane difference. Changing my review to 5 star. Recommended!
