The Cuisinart Espresso Bar Fully Automatic Espresso Machine EM-550 is designed to bring café-quality espresso to your countertop. With a built-in stainless steel conical burr grinder, 19 bars of pressure, and one-touch controls for single and double shots and Americanos, this fully automatic espresso machine makes it simple to brew coffeehouse favorites at home. It also handles cold-extracted espresso and features a steam wand for silky cappuccinos and lattes.
Start by filling the water tank and adding whole beans to the hopper. Position your cup under the adjustable brew head, then choose single, double, or Americano. The built-in grinder automatically dispenses the right amount of freshly ground coffee for each drink. For milk-based beverages, use the steam wand to froth dairy or non-dairy milk to your desired texture. To make cold-extracted espresso, simply choose the cold setting before brewing—no hot extraction needed.
The EM-550 is designed to adapt to your mug and your taste. The adjustable brew head and base fit travel mugs, while the one-touch controls keep your morning routine fast and consistent. For creamier microfoam, position the steam wand just below the milk surface and angle it slightly to create a whirlpool. The wand works with dairy and non-dairy alternatives, so you can top off cappuccinos and lattes with rich, creamy froth.
This fully automatic espresso machine is ideal for coffee lovers who want fresh-ground flavor and café-quality drinks without learning barista techniques. With its stainless steel finish and compact footprint, the Cuisinart Espresso Bar EM-550 makes a professional addition to any kitchen.

The Cuisinart Espresso Bar EM-550 is for coffee lovers who want cafés quality without a trip out. From the built-in grinder to the steam wand, every step is designed for convenience and consistency.
Whole beans ground just before brewing deliver noticeably richer aroma and flavor than pre-ground coffee. The conical burr grinder creates a uniform grind for balanced extraction, while the stainless steel burrs stay cool and durable.
No need for a separate cold brew maker. The EM-550 can pull hot shots for classic espresso drinks or switch to cold-extraction mode for a smooth, low-acid base. It is perfect for year-round coffee habits.
Start with cold milk and a clean pitcher. Purge the wand briefly, then place it just below the surface and angle it toward the side of the pitcher. Keep the tip near the surface until the milk grows, then sink it slightly to heat and texture. This method works with oat, almond, and soy milk too.
Routine care keeps your machine performing like new. Rinse the portafilter and drip tray after each session, wipe the steam wand, and run a descaling cycle every few months. The stainless finish only needs a soft damp cloth.
Fill the water tank, add whole beans to the hopper, place your cup under the brew head, and press the single, double, or Americano button. The machine grinds, tamps, and brews automatically.
Yes. Choose the cold-extraction setting and the machine will brew espresso without heat, giving you a smooth base for iced lattes and cold coffee drinks.
Pour chilled milk into a pitcher, place the steam wand just below the surface, and open the steam valve. Move the pitcher in a slow circular motion until the milk doubles in volume and feels warm. It works with dairy and non-dairy milk.
The EM-550 offers automatic single, double, and Americano options. You can personalize the extraction by choosing your bean, adjusting the grind, and selecting the cup size. The steam wand lets you control the texture of milk foam.
Empty the drip tray daily, clean the steam wand after every use, and descale every 2 to 3 months depending on water hardness. Follow the machine's descaling cycle with an approved solution.
This machine makes perfect espresso every time. The built-in grinder is a game changer. I've stopped going to coffee shops. The cold brew feature is amazing. Worth every penny.
I'm not tech savvy, but this is simple. The instructions were clear. My espresso tastes better than the café.
It makes excellent coffee, but it's noisy when grinding. The milk frother works well. Cleanup takes some effort.
I've owned several espresso machines. This one is by far the easiest to operate. The grinder settings are precise. The hot water function is handy for Americanos. The stainless steel looks great. Highly satisfied.
The steam wand is powerful. I can make silky microfoam. My lattes are café quality at home.
When it works, it's great. But I've had issues with the grinder jamming once. Not sure if I got a lemon.
My husband and I enjoy a cup every morning. The machine is compact and fits our counter. It makes just the right amount. The controls are easy to understand. I like that it shuts off automatically.
The one-touch Americano is my favorite. It's so convenient.
The coffee is excellent, but the tank needs refilling often. For two people it's fine.
This makes my mornings so much easier. I just press a button and my cappuccino is ready. The milk frother is easy to clean. I've had it for two months and no issues.
I never thought I'd make espresso at home this good. The grinder is consistent. The extraction is spot on. My wife is happy too. It's a splurge but worth it.
The machine does its job. The only downside is the drip tray fills up quickly.
My granddaughter set it up for me. I love it.
Perfect.
