Bought as a spare now it’s the best . My more expensive machine took a dive and company left me hanging . Luckily I found a great price on a great brand. The machine is simple but creates a complex espresso and joe ever much hate the new style frother it makes a tight froth and I’m happy.

I have been making espresso and cappuccinos for over 15 years in everything from economical Mr. Coffee machines, which they no longer make, to very expensive Delonghis costing $1000! I am very impressed with this machine! It warms up within 2 minutes and makes very good espresso and the milk frother did an excellent job! I plan to use this as a travel espresso maker. I liked it so much, I purchased another just to have as a reserve!

Excellent espresso machine. The cup and handle seem to be close to good when making coffee but the cup comes out too easily. The coffee we use is Lavazza Super Crema and the flavor is amazing. We use the 2 cup insert and it may need a bit more engineering because it pops out easily. The last version of this machine did the same thing and we kept it for years until the motor gave out. Excellent investment for morning espresso. Cleaning is super easy - the reservoir holds enough water to ensure lots of cups. HINT: clean it out every day before and after use. Don't let the water stand.

Makes delicious espressos, lattes and cappuccinos. Only complaint is the plastic scoop and tamper; very awkward to tamp. I definitely upgraded to a better tamper.

This model has apparently been discontinued at the supplier, so I bought it (my second) from Walmart. It takes getting used to, but once you figure it out it works well with ESE pods (smaller than the Nescafe/Keurig pods) or with fresh-ground coffee. Good value for the money. I only make espresso, don't use the frother.

First time espresso user, so definitely takes some practice to get a hang of it. It does make a good cup of expresso, kinda like the coffee sold in the cafe shop. I like the one scoop portafilter, and I never can get the two scoop one right. Gosh, I wish I know how much grams it supposed to hold. The machine leaks some water in the tray which is annoying. We got it while it was on sale for a decent deal.

I like that it has a frother attached. I do not like how there is no way to measure an espresso other than knowing your size cup. I wish it shut off the water flow when completed. When making a double, or two at once, the sides do not come out even. The left side is always a larger amount than the right. It works well but has some little glitches that make it just ok.

Not a very sturdy machine, feels like a toy. Does not make enough pressure for a good espresso and it’s manual pour so you have to guess when it’s at the end or it will start to basically turn into just hot water.

Don’t waste your money on this machine. This thing barely has any pressure to brew a good espresso. Its pump works hard to fill two espresso cups and the end result is horrible. Hardly has any foam on top of the drink.Looks more like drip coffee. Same grind coffee is being used in 25 year old machine and its great.

The water container keeps popping out, the first time it took me a good amount of time to figure out why the code is not pouring. I figured from the vibration that the machine makes the water container pops out of place, and you can not make coffee. Otherwise I saw advertisements the same machine comes with some extra stuff, but ours came just with the scoop and 3 different measurement cups for coffee
