I had high hopes for the Garvee Espresso Coffee Machine with Grinder, because we did a ton of research to ensure the machine ordered would do what we wanted but unfortunately, it lasted less than a week before I had to send it back.Right out of the box, the machine looks impressive—sleek design, promising features, and that enticing 20-bar pressure for café-quality espresso. But looks can be deceiving. The real problem? It just wouldn’t brew. No espresso, no latte, no cappuccino—just a frustrating series of beeps every time I tried to make a cup.The manual is minimalist at best, offering only the most basic setup info with little troubleshooting help. When I ran into issues, I turned to online videos—only to find generic product reviews instead of actual “how-to” guides. No luck there either.A coffee machine that refuses to brew is, well…not much of a coffee machine. So, back to the seller it went.If you’re considering this espresso maker, be prepared to gamble. If you get a working one, great! But if not, expect to spend more time troubleshooting than actually enjoying a cup of coffee. For me, it was a total miss.☕ Verdict: 1 star—because an espresso machine that doesn’t make espresso is a deal-breaker.
