Key features & specs

How it compares

Against the Mr. Coffee 4-Shot Steam machine, the CASABREWS offers more consistent pressure (20 bar vs. 15 bar) and a more durable stainless steel build. Compared to the De'Longhi Stilosa, it heats faster and includes a larger capacity portafilter for fuller-bodied shots.

What to know before buying

1. Use fine-ground espresso coffee for best extraction; pre-ground works well with the dual-wall filter.
2. Preheat the machine by running a blank shot through the portafilter before brewing.
3. Clean the steam wand immediately after use to prevent milk residue from blocking the tip.
4. Descale the unit every 3 months using a vinegar solution or commercial descaler.
5. Stir your shot gently before drinking to evenly distribute crema and oils.

Frequently asked questions

Is the CASABREWS 3700 espresso machine good for beginners?

Yes, the CASABREWS 3700 is ideal for beginners thanks to its easy dial-in controls, clear pressure gauge, and straightforward steam wand.

Does this machine work with non-dairy milk?

Yes — the steam wand handles oat, almond and soy milk well; just use a lower temperature and stop frothing earlier to avoid splitting.

How does the CASABREWS 3700 compare to the Breville Bambino?

The Bambino heats up faster and has automatic milk texturing, while the CASABREWS offers a manual steam wand and a much lower price — both produce excellent espresso for Americanos and lattes.

Can you adjust the shot volume?

Yes, the programmable buttons allow you to set single or double shot volumes, and you can also manually stop the extraction at any time.
