Our take on the PlumChef 20 Bar Retro Espresso Machine

The PlumChef is a compact semi-automatic espresso machine built around a 20 bar Italian pump, a 54 oz removable water tank and a side steam wand for milk frothing. A front pressure gauge and three-button panel let you watch and adjust extraction, and the top rack warms cups. It takes ground coffee or ESE pods and fits small kitchens at about 11 inches wide. Against rivals it leans on the gauge and retro look rather than a built-in grinder or programmable dosing, so it rewards people who want to tamp and tune by hand.

Questions and answers

Do I need a separate grinder?
Yes. It is semi-automatic and takes ground coffee or ESE pods, so a burr grinder is needed for fresh beans. Pre-ground coffee works but goes stale faster.
Can it steam milk and brew at the same time?
No. It uses a single boiler, so you brew your shot first, then switch to the steam wand for milk. Expect a short wait between the two steps.
What is the 20 bar pump for?
The pump builds pressure for extraction, and the gauge on the front shows it. In practice most espresso brews around 9 bar at the group, so the higher rating is headroom, not a target.
How much water does the tank hold?
The detachable tank holds 54 oz, enough for several shots and a round of milk drinks before refilling. It lifts off for filling and rinsing.
Does it fit under kitchen cabinets?
It stands about 12.3 inches tall, and the top cup-warmer rack adds a little. Measure your clearance before placing it under upper cabinets.
What drinks can I make?
Espresso, plus cappuccinos, lattes and flat whites using the steam wand. It also accepts ESE pods for a quicker, mess-free shot.
