Crappy Frother,
By DAC "DAC" (Detroit, MI USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: West Bend 55108 3-in-1 Coffee Center, Black and Stainless (Kitchen)
This machine looks very nice and was built fairly well for the most part, BUT the cappaccino machine needs more steam power for the frother and the rubber piece they have over the froth wand is useless and the machine actually froths better without it. The coffee maker takes forever to brew and the pot and its lid are kind of cheap.
I would NOT recommend this machine.

Not So Hot,
By Miss Mary (Malta, NY) - See all my reviews
This review is from: West Bend 55108 3-in-1 Coffee Center, Black and Stainless (Kitchen)
I found this product to be poorly made and flimsy. The espresso was more bitter than my previous machine and the machine itself clogged easily. I found that coffee of both types made with this machine was just a little funny tasting, perhaps because of the plastic or other materials used in its manufacture.
On the good side, the warmer plate for regular coffee was not very hot, but hot enough, allowing the second cup to taste almost the same as the first.

For the Price,This Machine Gets It Right ,,

This review is from: West Bend 55108 3-in-1 Coffee Center, Black and Stainless (Kitchen)
I am a hard sell when it comes to coffee makers. Over the years I have bought and subsequently returned, or trashed, more machines than I can remember. I had actually gone back to brewing manuallly with the cone and boiled water. Then last February I was furnishing a new office. I desparately scoured the market once again for anything that had the basics of a good machine and that was not rediculously expensive. In a last ditch effort, and with very low expectations, I bought the West Bend at Walmart. I was very surprised! This machine gets it right. The water is hot enough, the caraffe is easy to pour and easy to read, the warmer is not too hot, all the grounds get soaked evenly, its fairly fast, and it does not spatter or overflow - and it turns out a great cup of coffee.
The Espresso side does okay, too, although it did spatter and make a mess, (I haven't seen one in this price range that doesn't), it was easy to figure out, easy to clean, and it makes a decent latte. I recommended this coffee-maker to my next-door-neighbor, she bought it and I have used it several times. Again, no problems, excellent coffee. For the money, you can't go wrong with this one.
