For the price makes a great cup of coffee saved a lot instead of going to the coffee shop Paid for it self in saving cheap price but works that is all you need
he loves his coffee in the morning and this was a great size and price for the quality my husband loves it.
My only problems with these is that (a) they break down after a few months (even with cleaning, I've seen multiple of these get clogged and break down, maybe it's because of all the calcium in Florida tap water?); (b) they're made with solid metal piping inside, so even when they get calcium buildup, you can't break them open and fix them yourself, you just have to buy a new one); and (c) the espresso gets cold fast, leading me to believe it wasn't hot enough to begin with
I've been making espresso like crazy I live this machine I haven't used the milk frother yet
While making a cup the glass carafe exploded all over the kitchen
Made a great cup of espresso and frothed milk with ease
I don't like to make a whole pot of coffee just for me, this makes one delicious cup at a time quickly and if I want, there's even a steamer wand for steaming milk.

However, while it did work, I felt it made a good cup of espresso.
This is a Mr. Coffee Espresso Machine (the cheapest) so don't expect it to change your life, but if you aren't obsessed with exquisite coffee and will settle for a perfectly decent espresso, cappuccino or latte and don't want to spend a fortune this is a good alternative.

I bought another one which is like the original, the same as this model, and I love the delicious cappuccino it makes, and the ease of use

This is the absolute cheapest espresso maker I have ever seen...bought it for the steamer only, to steam milk.
Great starter Espresso, Latte and Cappuccino maker and very inexpensive
So, unless you plan to only use it rarely, I wouldn't recommend this espresso maker.
After searching many different brands and finding that even more expensive espresso makers had issues, I decided to stick with Mr. Coffee.
The seal on top, always make sure there is no steam left when taking off the cap or you will blow the seal!This is not a spendy coffee maker and does what it is supposed to do
You may want to buy the 3 years warranty because if you use it like me at least twice a day afters 6 month the Milk frother stop to work, loose the pressure
Frother is loud but i guess thats normal..wish it was quiet especially for those early mornings
Upon steaming, the frother leaves the metal smell and taste in the milk resulting in an unpleasant latte.
After a few months, the frother stopped working, so I threw it away

It is less expensive, but does not function as well as, some of the "fancier" Euro brands that appear to have gone up in price a lot since I last bought one
Amazon send me a replacement unit in June 2020, today is November 27, 2020 and the water tank is leaking
n’t recommend this machine because it just stopped working for no reason at all.

We have had it for months now and nothing gets rid of the terrible smell and taste in the tank of the machine
I really wanted to like this but the smell and taste is absolutely ridiculous for costing $58
I have put a bit of soap with water and nothing it's like a heavy Burned Plastic Chemical Smell that I just can not get out of the in side of the Mr. Coffe Espresso System with Milk Frother.
The rubber gasket on the top of the water reservoir has a very strong chemical smell that I have not been able to get rid off.
This new model is the same except for like other people said, the water cap has a very plasticky smell which is very
The first one we bought lasted about three years although we did replace the carafe because we broke it.
The handles on the portafilter and carafe are longer than I'd like, and it makes me more nervous about knocking the glass carafe on the floor and breaking it.
Gap between coffee maker and carafe makes it too easy to misalign the carafe while coffee is brewing
The carafe was useless because water was coming out of the machine and not landing in the carafe.
I read the reviews and I always take them with a grain of salt because sometimes people just don't know how to use the item and leave a bad review, or their expectations were too high, but this item is truly horrible
I never leave negative reviews, but I thought I was purchasing a decent machine from a reputable manufacturer.
Listen to the bad reviews and don’t waste your time with this espresso maker
I wish this could be a positive review...but my wife instantly had to stop using it because of the plastic taste
