Walmart $50 GOURMIA Espresso Machine Review Just A DAD Approved

[@Elon_Trump]

I love the fact that you showed the froth disaster because we have learned what not to do. 😂 I just picked this up for Black Friday we got sick of kurig cups. Thanks plus 1 sub.

[@cole_r]

I’ll just add for others tired of K cups, that Ninja has a machine that does single serve grounds. It makes strong coffee too. It can also do espresso apparently but I don’t have that particular model so idk how good it is

[@JustADad]

Thanks for the advice. Let me know how it’s goes for you. Thanks for watching

[@cole_r]

@@JustADad Oh I like it a lot, no complaints. I think it makes stronger coffee than the Keurig machine I used before. And thanks for uploading this video. Really appreciate it!

[@ArthurArtisan-n9y]

I laughed my ass off when you said is this a disaster? Been drinking coffee for four years, started drinking ice coffee over the summer and I saw this machine at Walmart on Black Friday and got it. You're tutorials have been a godsend as I start another coffee-based adventure outside of the norm. Thanks.

[@taoliu1577]

The milk disaster part made my day! I just got one from Walmart. Thank you for the review!

[@JustADad]

LOL it was a good day!!!

[@audreyvillarrealgonzalez]

Mine did same thing when I made first cup lol

[@paulguy8779]

Thanks for explaining the frothing adjustment! The same thing happened to me lol

[@marcycline8104]

Thank you for the demonstrations. I bought one yesterday!! NOW I have an idea how to use it.

[@SGg7fg]

Thank you for showing the mess, I appreciated that, I really do, nobody perfect, that’s how we all learn together 👍 thanks again

[@MillieCee38]

Thank you for sharing how you’ll save the milk because that was the only dilemma I had after trying it out this morning. It’s a nice size machine too. I didn’t want a big bulky machine. And love how I can use the frother and cleaner alone without making anything.

[@ajvintage9579]

Thank you so much for this review! I’ve looked everywhere for a review on this machine I just bought, and finally found yours. I’m grateful you showed the frothing disaster and the proper way to use the milk attachment, or there would have been a flood in my kitchen. Pleasantly surprised at how good this machine is.

[@sebastiandaniel35]

Me too

[@JustADad]

Thanks for watching!!!

[@alwoodism]

I saw them setting these out a day or two before Black Friday and thought this would be a good gift to myself. Thanks for demonstrating this item.

[@13oaks45]

Very awesome video, I've never made any of these. This will be the first time, and your video has helped me tremendously. I bought 2 of these machines last night, 11/24/23, and I'm setting it up right now. Thank you so much.

[@shakeetagarrett796]

Purchased mine Friday evening. I primed it cleaned all parts. Now I wait for Saturday morning. I hate dealing with the Milk Reservoir. However sometimes I have no issues putting it in. Anyways just watched your video after a few days of using it. Gladly I never had the milk disaster 😂. It is a sweet early birthday gift to self.

[@angeredsmile2]

I have this machine and never had that issue and love it. I usually do Amercano

[@KillaFormer9898]

I just got this because I’ve been wanting an espresso machine for $50 omg thank you so much on what to do and what not to do. Do not be sorry for rushing it your showed a lot of us how to use it properly😅

[@aleahstanley-deloach4632]

I appreciate this review I just got mine Black Friday and I’m so glad I found this video before I started using it manuals are nice but video tutorials are so much better thanks!

[@Jonnymg4]

Thanks for the review, I'm actually picking mine up tomorrow and wanted to see how it worked! It's a gift to myself for getting a new apartment for a job out of state. However, I'll happily take this one off of your hands and cancel my order😉

[@heatherwoods5703]

Thank you for this video. We just bought this Black Friday, and we're trying to follow the instruction manual, but watching your video helped so much! ☕️ We tried using heavy cream because it had less sugar than milk, but found that we had to thin it with a little water in order for it to work.

[@everzealgaming2034]

How is the taste with the water down heavy cream? And have you figured out a proper ratio that works best by this time? Thanks for any help - I’m interested in this machine. :)

[@heatherwoods5703]

@@everzealgaming2034 we think it tastes great. So far, we're working with a 1:1 ratio. We eat mostly keto, so we limit sugar and other sweeteners. 🙂👍

[@aydeedlc2788]

I just bought mine on Friday and it arrived just right now, thank you for your review and great info!!

[@RiffMajestic]

I just got one of these for Christmas (they bought it on Black Friday). This video helped a lot as I watched it before trying to use mine. Glad I got to see you overflow frother lol, now I know to just set mine at about half. Made me and my wife a double capp...(cafe bustelo) works well, makes a good drink. I might want to buy another handle just to have an extra, I guess they're pretty universal? Thanks for this video!

[@NeshaTiara]

I got this machine yesterday, easy enough to use but I'm still watching this video because I adore your reviews 😁

[@JustADad]

Awesome! Thank you!

[@gooddude9211]

I bought this and really loved it. Watched your video first before going Gilbert mode. My latte was really good. Thanks for the little video tutorial.

[@JustADad]

Glad I could help!

[@LeighAnn836]

Thank you for showing the mishaps, they’re going to help us to not make the same mistakes.

[@CertifiedSweat007]

Excellent review. Just bought after finding multiple stores out of stock then finally got my hands on one. I dont usually drink coffee but it is never to late to start.

[@Chloe-th2lg]

Greatly appreciate you taking the time to do this video. I bought one for myself and for my brother since he loves coffee as much as I do. I am so excited!!! Thanks again! Oh, and thank you for showing us what not to do LOL!😂

[@JustADad]

Glad it was helpful!

[@abigaillandrey6380]

This was so helpful!! I just bought one as well! Thank you for this! I would’ve never known about the frother either!

[@JustADad]

You are so welcome!

[@angelablack4]

Love that you reviewed this! Your Chefman video helped me set it up yesterday. And boom...the real deal today. Subscribed 👍

[@JustADad]

Awesome! Thank you!

[@normamedina8530]

I love this video so much. The I love the fact that you showed us your mistakes. This video was enjoyable to watch and thank you for teaching us how to use it. I just got mine today. ❤

[@JustADad]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@adt1982]

Ordered! My wife told me she wanted an espresso machine, and then your video came up.

[@daveheel]

the manual and the machine show the maximum strength froth at the plus sign. the minimum strength is the counterclockwise all the way to the left at the minus sign. the manual suggests max froth for latte and when i do that with a large cup, it overfroths too. i don't know other than it's a defect.

[@jeanhinojosa7868]

Thank you so much! I didn’t know how to do the manual expresso and froth lol and I’m so glad I watched this first so I didn’t over froth as well! ❤😊

[@solracm7783]

Hey dude. We just bought the same machine for 50 dollars. But because our condition of been blind. We have to mark some areas so we know where to touch on the screen and so far we’re making progress making it but I wanted to know how to use the buttons on the top and the buttons on the bottom.. Meaning touching the screen. For example we have put the bigger metal piece with the handle for double shots. You know the round cup thing. Where you put the coffee. We are using the bigger one. And she wants to make the coffee with double shots. And the part that we are confuse is where you press on the top section. In the bottom section. If you wanted to be double shots. We don’t know if you need to press the top button first for the category. One time or twice. Or if we’re supposed to press the top button first once and then press the number 2 on the bottom. And then pressed once more on the top. That is the confusing part. If you can let us know how to use that section by explaining top button and bottom button and how many time? Remember we’re not interested on one shot coffee. We are interested on double shot coffee. So that is the first question how to use the top buttons and the bottom buttons? The second question is. Where to spin the dial Knob for cappuccino on the milk container thing ? From my understanding. Somebody told me that to the left is minimum. And to the right almost all the way is maximum. And if you put it all the way to the right that it is clean. I don’t know if that’s correct but I need help for that. Let me know if I’m supposed to put it almost all the way to the right for latte. Before getting to clean. And if for cappuccino if I had to put it all the way to the left or anywhere in between. Because I’m confuse about that. Or if it’s backwards. Also third question. I would like to know if for preheating if it takes like about 15 seconds or if it takes like about 30 seconds or how long does it take for preheating? Like I said we’re just learning how to use it. It is a learning curve.

[@320NAW]

bought it today too because I really like it. Thanks to it, I think I can now make milk foam without any mistakes. I appreciate you making and uploading the video.

[@JustADad]

You are welcome 😊

[@elenitasjourney]

Thank for this review! Loved it. I just received my machine and can’t wait to use it. 😊

[@cristinahidalgo6951]

Thanks for be real and honest. Like this video, ready to use mine, wish me luck!

[@JustADad]

You can do it!

[@katelycho]

Great review! My kid and I were laughing at the froth disaster, but you probably helped prevent a lot of people from doing the same thing! Just purchased today through your link. Thank you 😊

[@jay248713]

This video was exactly what I needed! The froth dial had me so confused lol. Thanks!

[@JustADad]

Glad it helped!

[@kristenpuente5417]

This video was so helpful! Thank you! I appreciate that you showed us the froth mishap so we know what not to do. I also thought that the more less was backwards. Question- did you feel like the coffee has a plastic taste in the beginning? I’ve primed and run a few cycles and still feel the coffee has a funny taste…

[@BESER213]

Good looking on the video got mine on Black Friday too

[@tys.2829]

I've watch hundreds of how to videos...and it's dayum sure good to see someone make a mistake, not just once but twice😂..video was absolutely awesome

[@deliar.c.3389]

Seeing a comparison to Mr. Coffee One Touch and Gourma would be cool. I liked the temperature and color of coffre comparisons you did beyween the Mr. Coffee models.

[@DorothyDougherty-c1i]

I GOT MINE DELIVERED TODAY. THANK YOU FOR THE REVIEW.

[@JustADad]

Have fun!

[@chrisbernal2863]

Yeah I had the same problem with the more or less froth. The thing is very confusing with the arrows pointing in the wrong direction.

[@RogersGirl88]

Testing

[@cherizagelua5200]

Same here! Been trying it for 3 times before I figured it out. And indeed those overflow froth though! I got panic…!😂

[@Brian47030]

Good video. Watched before trying mine. Tried today & i learned not to use instant coffee. However; the water holding part leaks. My whole counter was soaked before I realized it, hours after using. It's coming from the rectangle seal area around the drip part.

[@carsonw.4067]

My husband got me this and so thanks for this review!

[@AJGinRVA]

A great review! I just bought this machine too and wanted to see how others are using it. (My frothing dial works the way it should, thankfully! I'm sure I'll have a disaster at some point too haha. 🙂

[@housesvicodin11]

Lastnight I was watching your Mr.Coffee reviews as it was the closest look wise to this as it felt like a custom dupe. On my 3rd cup today, once you get past the learning curve you are good to go with this it seems, I did about die at the 4:18 mark, I'm thankful I didn't do that but the instructions aren't great.That said I would say its a great deal and a lot of fun to add to my coffee bar set up.

[@JustADad]

Thanks for watching!! and your support!!

Thank you for the laugh! Glad I watched your video or I would have been swimming in the froth.

[@genesis0215]

Hello y’all , I just received my unit and after starting it up per provided manual to prime it with clean option. Machine only starts up two menu options and clean is not an option available to use. Is there anything that am I doing wrong or it’s something with the machine? I’ll appreciate if anyone can help me 🥺

[@faisha123]

Your milk dispenser isn't pushed all the way in. Since it doesn't detect milk, it only gives you non milk options. You have to use a slight angle and push really hard. Go back to this video and you will see his hint on how to push it in. Basically do it at a slight angle and hold the machine.

[@JustADad]

make sure the milk jug is all the way pushed in

[@genesis0215]

Thank you so much you all 🙏🏻

[@jie1379]

i ordered that one while i was awake 2am in the morning. i ordered it with no hesitation when i just saw it first. $50 it can't go wrong with. even coffee press cost $25 from Starbucks.

I'm having issues finding a reasonably priced cup that's 16oz+ and fits under there.

[@wrapattak5850]

Anyone else having issues? Just received mine today a hour ago. The machine is warm to touch. all the options are illuminated. But when I press CLEAN or any other selection it’ll beep 3 times then beep another three times. No brewing no frothing

[@heatheryuengert]

Having the same problem

[@heatheryuengert]

Had to exchange ours for the same issue. New one works perfectly.

[@Cjmm007]

I wish it made more coffee. My last knock off kerig made allot more coffee with the same amount of coffee in the filter. I use manual allot even though the coffee turns milky clear after a couple oz

[@ennicias6481]

Would love if you did a comparison to the Ninja Pods and Grounds. Great video!

[@JustADad]

Great suggestion!

[@RodimusPrime29]

Can I upgrade the Portofilter and the basket?…. I want to at least change the basket to a single wall non-pressurized version

[@Es_keet_it__Litty]

Man the non editing was hands down the best part 🤣 Needed that good laugh. I can safely say we all would've been in trouble if it wasn't for you. Very misleading on their part

Cost me 60$ Puerto Rico but it's a nice coffee machine I enjoy it

[@lindasheppard2606]

I can't thank you enough for this video! Just bought this on Black Friday for $50. Your video made the instructions much easier to understand. I have a question-when I make the Americano, the water isn't as hot as it is with the other settings. I'm setting the silver knob to "Americano." Is this normal? I have to hest it in the microwave once it's finished.

[@Kim-vj9pz]

Can someone clear up the froth adjustment? :) so the negative sign means more? Or??

[@faisha123]

I just realized today that I'm not even getting froth! But based on this video, the closest you are to the negative symbol, the more froth you will get. I'm only getting milk.

[@Kim-vj9pz]

Oooh ok go ot thanks :)

[@JustADad]

negative means more froth

[@Kim-vj9pz]

Oooh ok got it thanks :) just bought one today :D

[@bdchange9031]

Thank you for the informative video. Would anyone know if this machine can dispense only hot water if we want to add a little more water to Americano or use it for tea?

[@vanessaamaya4088]

Can you do have it froth the milk separate? Without it doing the espresso?

[@JustADad]

yes

[@nerysgutierrez1963]

Did you check that both filters are okay? I bought one of these coffee makers, and my filters arrived without holes.

no just prime the pumps with some water, check out my unboxing video

[@erickrosas3399]

Your mistake helped me a lot. I was having the opposite effect of too little froth, because I had it at the min. thinking it was the max.

I had the same problem. Didn't realize I didn't push the milk reservoir all the way in until it clicked. Then all the other choices lights up. Duh 🤣

[@hungpham]

Thanks for the review. I got confused about the min / max direction too. My machine does not produce froth as smooth and consistent like yours. It made loud steam noise and spurted out steam milk. I think I will return it. Your first brew that emptied out the milk container - do you know what caused that unusual amount of milk????

[@mkwillert]

Mine is the same, wondering about his machine and why it produced so much

[@Erica-7631]

Hi, your video was very helpful I had a question can you use regular coffee flavored creamer or almond milk instead of regular milk? Thank you!

Let you know in the AM

[@Es_keet_it__Litty]

For $50 hands down can't beat it! I'm loving it already. Gonna have to experiment a little with it. We picked up a blonde espresso roast and had it grinded to perfection. My gf's double latte tasted pretty weak, maybe not the best roast to use for that or I had the frother set wrong possibly. I made a double cappuccino and it was really good. Can't wait to get more experience and start perfecting.

[@shakeetagarrett796]

Tasty drinks and piping hot

[@ajvintage9579]

Ok, I set up my own new Gourmia machine and have the problem of no milk coming out of the silver valve on the milk dispenser. The dispenser itself is inserted correctly and I primed the machine before trying to use it. Anyone else have this issue?

That sounds like you don't have the milk container back all the way, to me. It only shows a couple options until it snaps in place. My issue it the water part leaking.
