MilleLoom Espresso Machine with Grinder 20 Bar Pump, 2.8L Removable Water Tank Semi Automatic Coffee Maker with Milk Frother for Small Families and Office

Product Overview

The MilleLoom espresso machine packs a 1450-watt heating element that heats up quickly and maintains stable water temperature via PID technology. The integrated grinder offers 30 grind settings, allowing users to dial in from fine espresso to coarse drip. A 58mm portafilter—standard in professional machines—ensures even extraction and reduces channeling. The 2.8-liter water tank is top-accessible and removable, simplifying refills and cleaning. The drip tray is also removable for easy emptying. The steam wand is detachable, making it easier to clean and store. The machine measures 13.6 by 12.6 by 16 inches and weighs 20.4 pounds, so it occupies a fair amount of counter space. It comes in silver with a stainless steel finish that resists fingerprints. The included milk frother doubles as a hot water dispenser for Americanos. Care is straightforward: the machine alerts when descaling is needed—recommended every six months—and has automatic cleaning cycles. For beginners, the learning curve is moderate: grind adjustment, tamping, and milk texturing require practice, but the PID helps with shot consistency.

Build & Materials

The MilleLoom machine is constructed with a brushed stainless steel exterior that resists scratches and smudges. The drip tray and water tank are both removable and dishwasher-safe plastic, making cleanup easier. The portafilter is chrome-plated brass with a plastic handle—durable but not heavy-duty. The steam wand is stainless steel with a silicone tip. Overall build feels solid for the price, though some plastic components on the interior may not withstand years of heavy commercial use. The machine includes a warming tray on top for preheating cups.

Maintenance is simplified with automatic cleaning and descaling programs. The machine alerts you when descaling is due, and the process takes about 15 minutes. The drip tray has a float indicator to signal when it needs emptying. The water tank has a handle and is easy to remove. The grinder hopper holds about 8 ounces of beans, and the grind chamber is accessible for cleaning. The machine does not have a pressure gauge, so dialing in relies on taste and shot timing.

Shot Quality

With PID temperature stability and a 20-bar pump, the MilleLoom pulls espresso with good crema and balanced extraction, especially after dialing in the grind. The 58mm portafilter helps distribute water evenly, reducing channeling. Users report that the machine reaches operating temperature in under 60 seconds. The steam wand produces adequate microfoam for latte art, though it requires technique to avoid large bubbles. The hot water function is convenient for americans and tea. Shot quality is consistent across multiple pulls, making it reliable for daily use.

The grinder produces uniform grounds across most settings, but the finest settings can be inconsistent. The machine performs best with medium-roast beans; very light roasts may be harder to extract. There is no pre-infusion, so shots can be short if grounds are too fine. Cleaning between shots is quick, but the group head requires periodic backflushing (not automatic). Overall, the MilleLoom delivers value at this price point, approaching the performance of machines costing twice as much.
