This is a Coffee_machine model I've been working on. I've tried shading it, but I just can't seem to get it right, it always ends up looking like a toy or flat. Any advice or feedback on blender procedure, material nodes, or examples to make it look more realistic in Eveee render, it would be greatly appreciated.

Why the underscore?

Any reason you want eevee specifically and not cycles? Some AO would be nice.

So, the obvious thing is no subsurface to round over the edges. Looks like there might be a slight bevel but it's not enough where it is right now. Right now it's like, 90's background prop tier. The basic shape is fine, but there aren't enough interesting (or functional) details. Take a look at how coffee machines look in real life and look deeper than just the silhouette.
It doesn't need to be COMPLETELY faithful, but more than you've got nowAs far as the render itself is concerned. In Eevee you should turn on raytracing to turn on ambient occlusion, models always look flat without it.
>render properties -> raytracing
Picrel shows left with default and right with eevee's raytracing enabled.
