Takywep 20 Bar Semi-Automatic Espresso Machine Built-in Conical Burr Grinder Milk Steam Wand Single Double Shot Coffee Maker Home Barista

Product Overview

The Takywep EA810570 is a semi-automatic espresso machine with a built-in conical burr grinder. The grinder holds up to 9 ounces of beans and offers 30 grind settings, covering fine to coarse. Grounds feed directly into the 58mm portafilter to minimize aroma loss. The 20-bar pump works with pre-infusion—a low-pressure soak before full extraction—to improve evenness. A detachable stainless steel steam wand creates dense foam; its removable design eases cleaning. The control panel includes separate buttons for power, grind, single shot, double shot, and cleaning, plus a rotary dial for grind adjustment. The machine comes with a 58mm portafilter, single and double baskets, a tamper, a 350ml stainless steel milk pitcher, a cleaning brush, and a maintenance tool. Dimensions are 16.3 by 15.6 by 18.8 inches, and it weighs 25.8 pounds. The water tank capacity is 2.8 liters—adequate for several drinks before refilling. All included components are stainless steel or high-grade plastic, with a silver exterior that fits most kitchen decors.

Build & Materials

The Takywep EA810570 is built around a stainless steel boiler and a plastic outer shell with a brushed silver finish. The 58mm portafilter is chrome-plated brass, providing good heat retention and a standard size for aftermarket accessories. The grinder uses a conical burr set made of hardened steel, which should maintain consistent particle size over time. The bean hopper is transparent plastic with a capacity of 9 ounces, and the grind adjustment dial is clearly marked. The 2.8-liter water tank is removable and sits on the side, making filling easy. The steam wand is fully stainless steel and attaches magnetically—a design choice that simplifies removal for cleaning. Overall, the machine feels solid for its price range, though some plastic parts may not withstand heavy commercial use.

Cleaning maintenance requires regular attention. The grinder chute and burrs should be brushed out weekly to prevent oil buildup. The steam wand should be purged after each use, and the removable tube can be soaked in descaling solution. The machine includes a clean function button that runs water through the group head to flush residue. The drip tray is plastic with a grid, and the water tank has a max fill line. The tamper and milk pitcher are stainless steel and feel adequately weighted.

Shot Quality

With 20 bars of pressure and pre-infusion, the Takywep produces shots that are comparable to machines costing twice as much. The pre-infusion reduces channeling and allows for more even extraction. Users who dial in the grind correctly can achieve crema with good color and thickness. The 58mm portafilter accepts standard accessories, so upgrading to a bottomless portafilter or better tamper is possible. The steam wand delivers dry, silky microfoam suitable for latte art, though some reviewers note that steaming takes longer than prosumer machines.

Temperature stability is adequate for home use. The machine likely uses a single boiler with a thermoblock, meaning there is a short wait between brewing and steaming. The 20-bar rating is typical for consumer machines—actual extraction pressure is regulated to around 9 bars by the OPV (over-pressure valve). The grinder offers enough range for espresso to French press, but finer adjustments may be needed for dialing in. Noise levels are moderate; the grinder is not silent but not intrusive. Overall, the performance meets expectations for a $300 machine and can satisfy most home baristas who are willing to practice.
