Great value, great results,

This review is from: 40729 - EXPRESSO MAKER
An inexpensive way to have coffeehouse-quality beverages at home. Unit is largely plastic, so it may not last forever like the $300+ models, but with proper care should last for years. Frother is easy to use, loud, and effective-just like the sound you hear at every corner coffee bar. Makes one or two cups at a time, and makes them fast and consistently good. Will accept ground espresso, or the individual 1-cup "pods". Comes with an instructional DVD that is 10 minutes well spent. Watched it once, and had my first cinnamon cappucino 10 minutes later! Really produces terrific quality, and makes this an excellent value. One warning: For some reason, this unit requires a manual shut-off to stop the brewing. So, you need to watch the output and hit a button when you think the espresso is as you like it-so no walking away during brewing!

Would Not Purchase,

This review is from: 40729 - EXPRESSO MAKER
This is the second machine I have purchased. The first one lasted about a year at which point it began leaking. Not so bad I thought because I had used the machine for a year and it worked great. It has a great price tag also. Then I purchase another and within two days it is leaking......so I get a replacement.......turn it on and it leaks also. I am going to have to find a better machine. This machine is great when it works and the price is great but I will not be buying another one.

Saving real (star)BUCKS,
This review is from: 40729 - EXPRESSO MAKER
I was tired of paying $10+ a week for a good latte in the mornings, and decided to purchase this machine. With a little practice, it wasn't hard to create Starbucks-worthy beverages with this machine.
This machine is pretty simple to figure out, and the instructions that come with it are very straight forward. I have no experience making espresso drinks and it didn't take me very long to catch on. I have owned the machine for about 6 months, and I only spend about 5-10 minutes in the morning to make a drink and clean up the machine. All the parts come apart easily and it is very easy to clean. One tip I would have is to remove the nozzle on the milk frother (it twists off easily) and clean it out under the sink (or dishwasher, if you want) to make sure you get all of the milk out of it. There are very few negatives I have for this product. This frother is pretty noisy, but that's certainly manageable. Also, the brew button doesn't turn off automatically, so you have to be standing by to make sure it doesn't overflow and it brews the amount of espresso you want. It would have been nice if this machine came with a few espresso mugs and a milk frothing cup, but for the price you can't really complain. Overall, I would highly suggest purchasing this machine. I make hot and iced beverages quickly and easily. If you use the pricier espresso (from a starbucks/barnies/etc) it will taste just like the real thing!
