The Linkchef is a compact 15-bar pump espresso machine with a 1350W ThermoBlock heater, a 40 oz removable water tank and a manual steam wand. It pulls single or double shots from ground coffee and froths milk for cappuccino and latte, with a cup-warming platform on top. It is a simple, light (7 lb) starter machine. Against rivals like the De'Longhi Stilosa and Breville Bambino, it has a smaller tank and no PID temperature control, but it costs less and is easy to live with. Reviewers rate it highly for value and ease of use, while noting the plastic housing and basic steam wand.
