Tissting Multi Function Capsule Coffee Maker with Milk Frothing System, 20Bar High Pressure Semi Automatic Vintage Espresso Machine, 7 Temperature Adjustable for Espresso Latte Cappuccino

Product Overview

The Tissting espresso machine measures 14.17 inches deep, 9.84 inches wide, and 6.29 inches tall, making it compact enough for most countertops. Its 1-liter water tank provides enough capacity for multiple drinks before refilling. The machine is made primarily of ABS plastic with a vintage-inspired design in a color labeled #3US, featuring chrome accents and tactile controls. It accepts Nespresso-compatible capsules (NS pods) and includes a microfilter to ensure clean water for brewing. The semi-automatic operation means you choose the drink size (single or double) and the machine handles the rest. The automatic milk frothing system uses a separate milk tank that can be removed for refrigeration and cleaning. A large waste capsule box collects used pods, reducing counter clutter. The machine uses touch buttons for drink selection, temperature adjustment, and steam control. Cleaning is straightforward: the drip tray, milk tank, and capsule bin are all detachable and dishwasher-safe. This machine is suitable for home kitchens, small offices, or even coffee shops seeking a reliable backup option. Its compact footprint and simple interface make it accessible to users of all skill levels.

Build & Materials

The Tissting espresso machine blends vintage aesthetics with modern materials. Its body is constructed primarily from ABS plastic, which keeps the machine lightweight (under 10 lbs) and durable. The retro design features chrome-look accents, a rounded silhouette, and tactile buttons that complement a classic kitchen decor. The water tank and milk tank are made of clear plastic with measurement markings, allowing easy monitoring of fluid levels.

The machine's footprint is compact: 14.17 inches deep by 9.84 inches wide, fitting comfortably on most countertops. The drip tray is removable and includes a float indicator when full. The waste capsule box slides out from the front for easy disposal. All removable parts are dishwasher-safe, simplifying daily upkeep. The milk frothing system uses a sealed tank to minimize spills and is connected via a silicone tube. Overall, the build is sturdy and functional, with attention to detail in the controls and finish.

Shot Quality

The 20-bar pump provides ample pressure for extracting espresso from capsules, producing a thick crema layer suitable for espresso shots or milk-based drinks. The seven temperature settings allow precise control: lower temperatures (81–85°C) work well for lighter roasts, while higher settings (90–95°C) suit darker roasts and increase extraction yield. Users can switch temperatures depending on the capsule type or personal taste. The default 85°C yields a balanced shot with moderate acidity and body.

The automatic milk frothing system steams milk directly into the pitcher or cup. It produces a creamy microfoam with fine bubbles, though the texture may not match a dedicated steam wand. The system is convenient: you fill the milk tank, select steam, and the machine does the rest. Temperature adjustment also applies to milk, ensuring it is heated to the desired level. Consistency across multiple shots is good due to the pump's regulated pressure. The machine is not prone to channeling, as capsule coffee is pre-ground and sealed. However, the grind size and quality of capsules influence the final taste.
