Casabrews 5700Pro All-in-One
Sub-$500 China-made all-in-one with 58mm PF, PID, LCD, integrated grinder and pre-infusion — on paper feature-set at the Breville Barista Pro level for half the price. In reality — reliability risk vs Breville's long-runners.

What Reddit really says
Most of the stuff on Amazon is cheap, crappy Chinese stuff from alibaba. If you’ve never heard of the brand before, and it’s not actively discussed on here, it’s probably a piece of crap. The fact that it says 20bar is a dead giveaway that it’s a piece of crap. Good espresso happens at 9bar or less. Amazon is so full of Chinese crap I just don’t shop on there anymore. Even the good brands are ofte…
20 bars and only 15 grind settings are dead giveaways that this isn't a good machine. Looks like a cheap knock-off of a Breville Barista Pro. On this sub, many recommend against the Barista Pro due to its poor built-in grinder, and the grinder on this machine is probably worse. Get a Breville Bambino and a Baratza ESP grinder. It will cost less and probably make much better espresso.
This is a rebadged version of [this](https://youtu.be/tuFQbiIVUkw) machine (as far as I can tell). As you can see, its not worth it.
Why would any espresso machine need 20 bars of pressure?
Wow. LoL. It completely sucks!
Looks like it's a relative of the Aldi Ambiano espresso maker that James Hoffmann reviewed on his YouTube channel.

Pros & cons
✓ Strengths
- 58mm portafilter — universal accessories ecosystem (rare at this price)
- PID + LCD display + pre-infusion — feature-set premium
- Integrated conical burr grinder with 15 settings
- 20-bar pump (regulated), 2.7L water tank — large
- $400-450 — best price on all-in-one
- Articulating steam wand — proper milk training
✗ Weaknesses
- Only 1-year warranty (vs Breville 2yr)
- Young brand (2020+) — no 10-year longevity data
- Reddit reports: pressure issues, grinder degradation, support occasionally tricky
- China assembly — replacement parts harder vs Breville/Gaggia
- Built-in grinder budget-grade — too weak for light roasts (like the Barista Express)
- Big footprint (284×325mm)
Buy if / Skip if
Buy if
- Budget $400-500 — top features for the money
- Enthusiast who wants PID/pre-infusion stock without mods
- Planning horizon 2-3 years — in that window the Breville Bambino Plus will die at the wand, Casabrews may die entirely
Skip if
- Need longevity 5+ years — Breville/Gaggia more reliable
- Critical milk wand reliability — Casabrews steam wand uneven per the reviews
- Long upgrade plan — ecosystem Breville/Gaggia larger
