Gevi 4627 Espresso Machines 15 Bar Fast Heating Cappuccino Coffee Maker with Foaming Milk Frother Wand for Espresso, 1.25L Removable Water Tank, Double Temperature Control System, 1350W

The hot plate stays on until you switch off the coffeemaker. It does not have an automatic shut off. The coffee stays hot until you turn the machine off.

No, there are settings for each function individually, if you want to brew you have to put the settings in brew and the same for frothing, one at a time.

Yes, return the machine and buy a different one. I didn’t even unfinished packing it. It is cheap and I’ve had several espresso machines. And this is by far the cheapest made looking machine ever. I put it back in the box and sent it back immediately. Hurry send it back or you can still get your money back.

Not too heavy, but I don't know, see the specs.

It absolutely can pull two espresso shots. There’s a basket and a button for pulling two shots.

After brewing, the machine will automatically enter the keep-warm state, and after 40 minutes of keeping warm, it will automatically shut off.

Any 4 cup filter will work. Most stores sell them.

Gives us the option for froth and foam, and the foam is usually as stiff as we like it and the frothed milk is also lovely. Zero complaints.

Just shots of espresso, of course it’s easy enough to just add some hot water and then you have a cup of coffee or an americano.
