Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)We were worried about purchasing this product after reading the previous review about the lukewarm results. However, we had read so many other reviews of similar machines that we thought it could easily have been user error. When we bought the machine, we actually read the manual very carefully before doing anything. (Not our typical style :) We followed the instructions. We did more than the minimum 5 recommended times of running the machine using water only; it needed about 10 times of this to get really hot -- but only on the first time out of the box. The espresso itself can be pretty good, but probably only for a casual espresso drinker. Even for casual sippers such as ourselves, it is easy to pull a shot that is completely undrinkable. (Actually, my husband is less discerning, so we feed him the "bad" shots.) I know what a beautiful espresso tastes like since I work next to a famous Illy shop in DC, and this espresso is, sadly, not the same. But, it is still very wonderful and enjoyable. Very drinkable, if you take care. Overall, I am very happy with this purchase.
I would like to give another tip, which is that the first 10 or so times that you use the machine, the filter attachment (the thing with the handle) is extremely hard to get to its fully attached position. Fully attached is perpendicular to the machine; this is not indicated anywhere in the manual. So if your machine is LOUD, you may not have this fully attached. It gets easier after a few uses. The machine is not very loud when you use it properly.
Cheers!

Enjoy delicious cappuccinos, lattes, and other frothy coffee beverages from the comfort of home with this user-friendly espresso machine. The appliance features simple push-button controls with easy-to-understand icons and indicator lights, a 15-bar pump, self-priming operation, and a stainless-steel boiler for long-lasting performance. Even more, it provides a patented dual-function filter holder. When used with ground espresso, the unique filter mixes air into the brewing process to produce authentic espresso, complete with perfect caramel-colored crema on top. The filter also accommodates ESE coffee pods--handy for guests who prefer decaf after dinner. For added convenience, the machine comes equipped with a patented cappuccino frother that combines steam and milk to create a rich creamy froth. Two separate thermostats control the water and steam separately to ensure the perfect temperature for both. Other highlights include a 48-ounce removable water tank for easy filling at the sink, a built-in tamper (no need for a separate tool), stay-cool handles, a "coffee" or "hot water" button, an "on" indicator light, a cup-storage tray for warm ready-to-use cups, and a removable drip tray for quick cleanup. Sleek and stylish, the espresso machine measures approximately 10-1/5 by 9 by 11-4/5 inches and carries a one-year limited warranty.
