The steam warms the milk but never gives you the froth/foam that is necessary for a good cappuccino.

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

It’s ok for the price, but don’t expect a GREAT cappuccino or latte

This little machine makes a great espresso and cappuccino

Makes a great latte and cappuccino

A small machine at a great price gives you barista-worthy lattes and cappuccinos !

I was particularly interested in the claim that: Frothing arm makes creamy froth to top off your cappuccinos and lattes

Makes great espresso and cappuccino

You can make a really decent cappuccino with this puppy.

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

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
