Casabrews CM5418 Silver
Score: 70/100Rankings
De'Longhi Stilosa delivers authentic espresso with a true 15-bar pump and manual steam wand in a lightweight, compact package. It lacks an integrated grinder and has a modest 1-liter water tank, limiting high-volume use. Perfect for beginners who enjoy hands-on brewing and have limited kitchen space.
The Casabrews CM5418 offers a compact, 20-bar semi-automatic espresso machine with a pressure gauge and auto shut-off. Its tiny 1 L water tank and modest steam wand limit high-volume or specialty drink preparation. Suited for apartment dwellers needing an affordable entry-level machine.

Everyday users commend the machine's easy setup, compact size and decent crema from pressurized baskets, yet they repeatedly mention the tiny water tank, quick-filling drip tray and under-powered steam wand as frustrating drawbacks.
