RIOSKY 20 Bar Espresso Machine with Milk Frother, Stainless Steel Coffee Maker with Touch Screen & Cold Brew, 45s Fast Heat Small Cappuccino Machine with 57.5oz Removable Water Tank for Home, Silver

Product Overview

The RIOSKY EM625 brings café-style espresso to tight spaces with a footprint of just 11.4 inches deep, 5.3 inches wide, and 11.4 inches tall. Its stainless steel chassis feels solid and adds a modern aesthetic to any counter. The machine weighs 7.2 pounds, making it easy to move yet heavy enough to stay put during portafilter locking. It includes a 57.5-ounce removable water tank with a handle for easy refilling and visibility. The EM625 operates as a semi-automatic machine: you control grinding (not included), tamping, and stopping the shot, while the machine handles pressure and temperature. It uses ground coffee with included single and double 51mm filter baskets. The touch screen offers one-touch single or double shots, a custom memory mode, a hot water dispenser for Americanos or tea, and a dedicated cold brew setting for iced coffee without heat extraction. The steam wand is manual and requires some practice but delivers dry steam for microfoam. Cleaning is simplified with a self-cleaning function, removable drip tray, and detachable steam nozzle. The machine suits coffee lovers who want espresso, cappuccino, latte, americano, iced coffee, and cold brew from a single compact unit.

Build & Materials

The RIOSKY EM625 is constructed with a brushed stainless steel body that feels substantial despite its small size. The chassis is heavy enough to remain stable when locking the portafilter, and the finish resists fingerprints. The footprint is remarkably small at 11.4 x 5.3 inches, freeing up valuable counter space. The water tank sits at the back, is transparent for easy level checking, and has a handle for simple removal and refilling. The drip tray is removable but shallow—reviewers note it fills quickly when purging the steam wand or using hot water.

The portafilter is a standard 51mm size, and the included tamper with spoon is functional. The touch screen display is responsive and easy to read, though the top of the machine gets hot, so avoid placing heat-sensitive items on top. The steam wand is manual with a swivel joint, though some users wish it had a wider articulation angle for larger milk pitchers. Overall, the build quality is good for the price point, with a solid feel and thoughtful design elements like the self-cleaning function.

Shot Quality

The EM625 consistently produces espresso with a balanced flavor and thick crema, thanks to the PID-controlled temperature and pre-infusion. The 20-bar pump is regulated to deliver about 9 bars at the group head, which is ideal for extraction. Reviewers report that shots are repeatable, especially when using the custom memory function to set the water volume. Compared to older 15-bar machines, this model delivers smoother shots with less bitterness. However, one reviewer noted the crema is slightly less creamy than their more expensive machine, but still impressive for the price.

The steam wand performs well for a machine in this range, generating dry steam that can produce microfoam suitable for latte art. It takes a few seconds to start steaming, and the wand heats up quickly. The cold brew function works by running water through the grounds at a lower temperature, resulting in a smooth concentrate. The hot water dispenser is convenient for Americanos and tea. Overall, the EM625 handles multiple drink types competently, with fast heat-up and consistent performance across use.
