by Clyde (Mountlake Terrace, WA) 1 review Over all I like the way It works now that I learned how to get it to steam the milk, Thats what I get for not reading the instructions.But now it is great
by Linda (Buffalo, NY) 1 review I bought this as a Christmas gift for my son and his fiance. They just love it! The biggest selling point for me was the convenience of having more than one coffee option in the same product. I figured that if the espresso function wasn't a big hit, they would still use the coffeemaker function. The best part is that they use both all the time. This product is also an excellent value. The prices for coffee and espresso makers are all over the place, and this one offered so much for the price.
by Tracy (Ballwin, MO) 1 review I assumed for the price that it would have a clock and timer (basic to even the most inexpensive coffee makers). When it arrived and I realized this deficiency I returned it immediately.
by Renee (CHICAGO, IL) The machine is pretty big. Takes up a lot of counter space so beware of that. The steamer nozzle is hard to use cause it's so close to the counter top, making it hard to steam the full container of milk properly. Also, the machine does not come with a metal steaming container for the milk. You have to get this separately. The coffee side of the machine is great though. Overall, not a bad machine for $100.
by Roberta (MOAB, UT) 1 review I bought this particular brand based mostly on other reviews for similar products and on a coworkers recommendation, he has another model but I didn't need all those particular bells and whistles so settled on this one. I think it has been a good purchase, I had a little trouble with the steamer at first but after asking for pointers I think I have it down pretty good now. This makes very good coffee and really is quite easy to operate now that I know what I am doing. Like some of the other reviews I read, the steamer would be nicer if it were a little higher up, I had to get a smaller stainless pitcher that really only makes one (large) serving of milk, if it were up higher you could do more, and I wish you could do both at once, make coffee and a latte, but all and all I am glad I purchased this I am having fun with it.
