The Bluebow is a semi-automatic espresso machine with a built-in burr grinder, so you grind beans and pull shots from one countertop unit. It uses a 20-bar pump, a stainless steel steam wand and a 1.5 L water tank, and weighs about 13 lbs. That combination of grinder and 20-bar pump is uncommon at the entry level, where most rivals make you buy a separate grinder. It suits someone moving up from a pod machine who wants fresh-ground espresso and milk frothing without two appliances.

Buyers rate it very highly, and the pattern in the feedback is that it delivers café-style espresso and frothy milk at home once the grind is dialed in. The grinder built into the machine is the feature owners mention most.
The Bluebow Espresso Machine is a semi-automatic espresso maker with a built-in bean grinder. It grinds beans, brews espresso and froths milk in one machine, so a separate grinder isn't needed.
A 20 bar pump extracts the espresso. The grinder has 20 settings from coarse to fine. The machine brews both hot espresso and cold brew, and it has a steam wand for frothing milk into microfoam. A control panel with adjustable settings lets you make drinks such as espresso, lattes and iced Americano.
For best results, rinse the machine before the first cup and use fresh, medium-roast blended beans. Set the grinder between 5 and 10, so the grounds feel about as coarse as salt. Use cold whole milk for frothing, not hot milk.
