Meraki Espresso Machine

Recently I moved from a bambino to this machine and I have loved the continually perfect workflow. No messing around - just simple and consistent. If you are thinking about a new machine and tired of mess on the counter this machine is definitely the choice

An excellent espresso machine; I love the ability to experiment with temperature and pre-infusion... it really does an excellent job, and the built-in scale is another fantastic feature... I am very satisfied and delighted.

I had this machine for about a year now and it still pulled amazing espresso shots. The integrated scale and user interface is very convenient. For the grinder, I like to single dosed my coffee because I like to switch coffee beans a lot. For the price, I am still very happy with my purchase.

Advice: I recommend covering the water reservoir if your machine is near a window that has a lot of sunlight coming in. This will prevent algae from growing in the reservoir.

Una maravilla, mejora mis mañanas un 100%, la estoy disfrutando muchísimo, cada detalle de esta maquina está muy bien pensado, no necesitas nada más, para mí es un ritual preparar mí espresso, espumar la leche es una maravilla, es una máquina muy cómoda y fácil de usar, sin duda mi mejor compra.

Came across the Meraki when they where first released and was initially skeptical to purchase, however the more I looked into the unit, the more I decided to take a punt on the machine - boy was I pleasantly surprised!!
Easily surpassed the performance and quality of significantly more expensive units, while the value and design is brillaint and very intuitive

Highly recommended

As a new father, I needed something that could make an espresso quickly without compromising on quality or versatility. From April to June, I kept researching which coffee machine to get, and I kept coming back to the Meraki as the best integrated machine for my needs.

I was a bit concerned at first, as the company is quite young, but working in a startup myself and seeing the overwhelmingly good reviews, I finally decided in June to get the Meraki Gen 2, and I couldn't be happier.

Basically, I no longer have espresso-based drinks outside my home. My wife enjoys her decaf cappuccinos a lot (the foam is super fluffy, and it's easy to get to a good level of foaming even as a complete beginner).

I organised an espresso tasting afternoon with my coffee-nerd friends, and both of them (who own a Sage Barista Touch Impress and a La Marzocco) were quite impressed. But most importantly, the Meraki performed very well across 6 different types of beans × 3 shots of espresso in about 2 hours — it kept its consistency. They were also impressed with the sound of the grinder: much quieter than what they have.

In terms of usability, it is very easy to use. I even make my espresso with one hand while holding my baby in the other, and my wife managed to pull a good shot after I showed her how.

So, I highly recommend it.

A suggestion for the Meraki team: please add usage stats, like a counter for espressos pulled and milk drinks made.

I’ve had the Meraki Gen 2 for a couple of months now, and I’m really happy with it. It has made my daily coffee routine much easier and more enjoyable.

One of my favourite things about the machine is how easy it is to dial in different coffees. Changing beans doesn’t feel like a frustrating process, and once you find the right settings, it’s very easy to get a consistently great shot. The repeatability is excellent, which makes experimenting with different beans much more fun.

I also love the integrated scales. They are incredibly convenient and make the whole workflow cleaner, faster and more precise without needing an extra scale on the drip tray.

The hot water wand works really well too. It’s quick, practical and something I use more often than I expected.

The milk frother is probably another highlight. It’s powerful, easy to use and produces really nice microfoam. Making flat whites and cappuccinos has become almost effortless.

Overall, after a couple of months of daily use, I’m still very impressed. The Meraki Gen 2 is easy to use, very consistent, and genuinely enjoyable to make coffee with. I would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a capable and user-friendly home espresso machine.

I have absolutely loved using this machine - the precision of weight and ability to control all the other variables combined with the FAST heat up time and smooth operation make this both FUN and incredibly convenient to use. I get to be as nerdy as I want but also get my coffee fast.

My wife and I have been talking about buying an espresso machine for a long time. After being disappointed at every second coffee place with the terrible coffee that is served, we decided to take the leap. We've had the machine now for a few months and have been making flat whites daily, inviting our friends and family over to share this with them as well. We love the quality of the machine and the coffee it produces and are always excited for the next time we brew! Thank you Meraki for creating such an excellent machine at this price point!

The Meraki has completely changed our espresso work flow and our results at home. Shot after shot consistency with ease.

The steam wand is very powerful. Found lowering it in power made it easier to achieve results.

I put off buying this thing for months because espresso machines at this price point always feel like a big deal, but honestly this has been worth every euro. I got the black version and it looks incredible sitting on my counter, definitely not something you feel embarrassed about showing off to guests.

What sold me in the end was the dual boiler and rotary pump setup. You can actually brew and steam milk at the same time, which sounds like a small thing until you've stood there waiting for a single boiler machine to switch modes on a Sunday morning when everyone wants coffee at once. It heats up in about 3 minutes, so it's not something you have to plan twenty minutes ahead for.

The built in grinder was the part I was most skeptical about since I've always used a separate grinder, but the Timemore collaboration really shows. It has 45 grind settings now with Gen 2, which is a nice bump from the original, and dialing in a new bag of beans takes way less trial and error than I expected.

Grind by weight and brew by weight sound like gimmicks on paper but they genuinely change your consistency. My shots stopped varying day to day once I started relying on the dual scales instead of using standalone scales.

The PID temperature control across the brew boiler, steam boiler, and group head also means the shots taste the same whether it's the first one of the day or the fifth.

One extremely important update is the switch to a standard 58mm E61 compatible portafilter. On the first generation you were stuck using their proprietary fitting, but now I can use bottomless portafilters and aftermarket baskets I already had lying around. Small detail, but it opens up the whole aftermarket ecosystem instead of locking you into one brand.

The steam wand has plenty of power for microfoam and the tip has a temperature sensor built in, so I never scald milk anymore even when I'm distracted refilling water.

The touchscreen interface is intuitive too, no manual required to figure out the basics, and it saves recipes so my partner and I can each have our own dialed in settings for our usual drinks.

Is it a splurge? Sure. But between replacing a separate grinder, scale, and machine with one unit, and the fact that it makes genuinely great coffee every single time, I don't regret it at all. If you're on the fence and you actually care about your morning coffee, just get it.

The customer service is fantastic and the machine is phenomenal! Coming from someone who has moded a gaggia classic pro and owns a super automatic machine as well. I roast and have my own bean business and have a whole pour over line up as well!

Venimos de tomar Nesspreso durante 10 años y el cambio ha sido abismal, esto es un ritual y el conjunto y workflow que tienes con esta maquina es magnifico, ver caer el café recién tostado y molido, no tiene comparación. Recomendadisima. Servicio post venta magnifico

I purchased the Meraki Expresso Machine in July/2026. It has been fantastic. After experiencing different types of grinds/coffees and the amount of coffee to use; it is living up to a great tastes and ease of use. Meraki is extremely consistent in brewing and grinding. I appreciate the scales that provide consist brew every time.

I am new to this level of espresso making. My Meraki makes it easy to make coffee and dialing in my preferences is simple.
Great machine and customer service.

I thought my last coffee machine could not get any better ! Then along came my Meraki! Looks beautiful! Easy to use. Total control of my coffee. And it tastes amazing. Yes I am a coffee snob. I admit it. And this machine meets every single coffee snob wants & needs. Thank you for making such an amazing machine. If the house was burning down my Meraki would be heading out the door with me. Bravo! And well done Meraki !!

We’ve had our machine for about three weeks now. We have had the chance to make many lattes and we love it! We are beginners to the coffee world but Meraki and also using YouTube videos has made it very easy to learn how to make some solid espresso, lattes and many other drinks. As long as the Meraki can withhold for many years to come and continue making excellent professional espresso for us, 5/5 stars year after year!

After nearly a year of deep research on replacing my Jura S8 workhorse I made the choice to move forward with the Meraki Gen 2. Being accustomed to a single button morning espresso drink I wanted something that challenged my workflow and improved the result without an obsessive process. The Meraki fits the need perfectly, integrating multiple espresso accessories into a single unit. Important points are integrated scales dual rotary pumps PID control, software updates, excellent design and quality components. After two months of use my espresso shots using multiple coffee beans produced an excellent result. As for latte art, well that takes special skill and an effort for consistency, still more practice is needed.
For me this is the perfect machine and my experience with Meraki Technical Support has been excellent. I look forward to many more superb coffee drinks along with an improving barista skill set.

Were to begin, everything what they say is true. So, this is a fantastic machine! It comes with all the bells and whistles.
