The gaskets are not properly designed so eventually the machine leaks hot water and improperly brews coffee

After a few uses the frother gaskets started to fail, letting steam shoot out through seams at the user

The unit blew a gasket and the remaining water went everywhere

One piece of advice I'll give is that the plastic gasket in the top lid tends to get sucked off when the unit is still slightly under pressure

Save your money and look at other machines....this one has a terrible gasket in the cap if you don't

However, the coffee is not as good as from a pump machine that makes it directly into a cup.

I like that this machine has the ability to steam and froth milk, as well as, of course, making espresso

I can steam milk just as well as with an expensive restaurant-grade espresso maker (I used to be a barrista).

Does Capresso's $60 deal make espresso as good as his $4K one?

I signed up right here on Amazon to get fancy Italian espresso ground coffee  Lavazza Crema e Gusto Ground Coffee, Italian , 8.8-Ounce Bricks (Pack of 4)  delivered to my door every month, so it couldn't be easier
