I mean, I've had my fair share of coffee machines over the years, and I gotta say, Gevi's single-boiler espresso machine is a decent option for those on a tight budget. Don't get me wrong, it's not gonna blow your mind with all the fancy features, but it'll get the job done. I like that it's a no-frills kind of machine - just plug it in, grind some beans, and brew. The steam wand can be a bit wonky sometimes, but hey, it still gets the milk frothy enough for me.
I'm not gonna lie, the grinder can be a bit finicky, but if you're willing to invest some time tweaking it, it's worth it. And I love that it comes with all the basic accessories - plastic tamper and all. It's like they say: "you get what you pay for," and Gevi's definitely delivers on simplicity.
For the price, I think it's a solid choice for anyone who wants to dabble in espresso without breaking the bank. Just don't expect too much complexity or precision out of it...

. Like, who needs all that fancy stuff anyway? I think it's awesome how simple it is, but at the same time, I'm not impressed with the grinder – what's up with that timer and scale thingy? Sounds like a pain to use. And don't even get me started on the steam wand being kinda wonky 
... I mean, who needs perfect froth every time? It's all about the vibe, right? Plus, 2.3 liters of water might not be enough for some people – I feel like they should've included more tank options or something.
. I think that's the problem - it's too barebones! If you're gonna spend money on an espresso machine, shouldn't you get some decent features? I mean, 2.3 liters of water tank is pretty small, and the grinder can be super finicky... what if you just wanna make a quick shot without having to mess around with timers and scales? 
And don't even get me started on the steam wand being "erratic" - that's just gonna give me anxiety when I'm trying to froth milk! 
Maybe they should've spent more time fine-tuning the design instead of keeping it super simple. I'd rather have a machine with some bells and whistles, even if it means paying a bit more...
