For coffee enthusiasts seeking café-quality espresso at home, the Casabrews CM5418J™ espresso machine redefines convenience and performance with its modernized design. As an upgraded iteration of the bestselling CM5418 model, this machine retains the core functionality that made its predecessor a favorite, while introducing intuitive touchscreen controls for enhanced usability. Compact yet powerful, the CM5418J™ combines advanced brewing technology with a sleek aesthetic, making it ideal for homes, offices, and hospitality environments.

Engineered for Excellence: Key Features

1. Intuitive LCD Touchscreen Interface (New Upgrade)
The CM5418J™ distinguishes itself from the classic CM5418 model with its crisp LCD touchscreen, replacing traditional mechanical buttons. This sophisticated control panel eliminates the need for traditional buttons, allowing effortless operation with a simple tap. Users can seamlessly select from three primary functions: Single Cup, Double Cup, and Steam. The crisp, responsive display ensures clear visibility and simple navigation while maintaining the robustness expected from Casabrews machines.

2. Pre-Infusion & 20 BAR Extraction
At the heart of the CM5418J™ lies a professional-grade 20 BAR pressure pump, engineered to extract rich, balanced flavors from coffee grounds. The process begins with a gentle pre-infusion phase, where water saturates the coffee evenly to release nuanced aromas. This is followed by high-pressure extraction, ensuring optimal crema formation and depth of flavor. Compatible with both pre-ground coffee and freshly ground beans, the system guarantees café-quality results with every brew.

3. Customizable Single/Double Shot Volumes
Personalization is key to crafting the perfect espresso. The CM5418J™ offers programmable shot volumes:

Single Shot: Adjustable between 30–70ml (1–2.37oz)
Double Shot: Adjustable between 80–120ml (2.7–4oz)

Users tailor brewing parameters to their preferences using the touchscreen, with settings saved for future use. The 51mm aluminum portafilter and dual-wall filters enhance extraction consistency, accommodating varying grind sizes and coffee densities.

4. Professional-Quality Microfoam for Lattes & Cappuccinos
For those who enjoy milk-based coffee drinks, the CM5418 J™ delivers an exceptional frothing experience. The powerful stainless steel steam wand produces rich, creamy microfoam, essential for crafting professional-grade cappuccinos, lattes, and macchiatos. The steam wand allows full control over milk texturing, ensuring the perfect consistency for everything from delicate latte art to thicker, creamier foam for classic cappuccinos. Whether preparing a velvety flat white or a frothy café au lait, this feature enables precision milk frothing with ease.

5. Space-Optimized Premium Design
Measuring just 12.5 x 8.3 x 11.8 inches, the CM5418J™ seamlessly integrates into compact spaces. Its stainless steel finish and minimalist aesthetic complement modern interiors, while the removable 34oz (1L) water tank and drip tray simplify refilling and cleanup.

Advanced Technology for Consistency & Safety

1. Overheating Protection & Auto Shut-Off
If the boiler exceeds safe temperatures during extended use, the machine activates overheating protection, flashing indicators to prompt a cooldown cycle via the steam wand. Additionally, it powers down automatically after 29 minutes of inactivity, balancing safety with energy efficiency.

2. User-Centric Maintenance
Routine upkeep is streamlined:
(1) Daily Cleaning: 
The portafilter, filters, drip tray, and steam wand can be quickly rinsed and wiped clean, preventing residue buildup that could affect the quality of espresso shots. Hand-wash removable components (portafilter, drip tray) with warm water is recommended. Do not use a dishwasher, as specified in the user manual.
(2) Descaling Alerts: 
Built-in notifications after 500 brews guide users through a simple descaling process using household agents or citric acid. A regular descaling routine further ensures that the CM5418 J™ continues to perform at peak efficiency, delivering consistently excellent coffee over time.

Additionally, the machine features an auto-purge function, which helps maintain optimal brewing conditions by cooling the system after steaming.
