Easy to use and the espresso tastes great.

Since very first use, it also has a very strong "hot metal" smell when using it and it kills tastes of espresso

Upon steaming, the frother leaves the metal smell and taste in the milk resulting in an unpleasant latte.

Every time we use it, it has a burnt smell and taste

This is the worst "espresso" I have ever tasted in my life

Never produced good tasting coffee -- and then failed after 3 months of use.

and it makes poor quality, bad tasting espresso on top of that

Very bad taste and smell to your

Fast, good taste, easy to use and clean

It smells and taste like chemicals despite several times of use

The coffee has a bitter taste.

After months, there is still a terrible plastic taste that won't go away despite our trying everything - vinegar rinses, numerous wash outs

coffee taste horrible like dirty

Seemed poorly made and funny taste.

I then ran a few cycles of vinegar and then water to try to clean further, but the taste was still bad and seems like this unit may be contaminated or maybe some other issue

but it works and espresso tastes excellent in minutes.

Works great, fast brew, tastes great.

We thought it would go away but after approximately 1400 pots brewed,and multiple cleanings with CLR and also Vinegar, every pot still has the bad taste

My girlfriend loves it but both times I've purchased it with a horrible chemical smell (and taste in your coffee) that takes weeks of flushing and airing out to diminish.

It’s almost a chemically/plastic/waxy type smell when it brews and it taints the taste of the coffee.

I don't like it, the coffee taste different and does not make a foam

the steam and cofee tastes weird

Great tasting espresso, but steamer not easy to clean and handle to the

My first coffee tasted a little strange.

The brew tastes alot weaker than it did with previous models

This is my third one in three years... makes good tasting espresso but the brew / steam knob breaks very easily.

Pulled it out and tried to run water through it again to make sure it didn’t add a terrible taste to the coffee, and it didn’t even run water through it

Bought new one recently and could not get metallic taste out...washed it, used it four times, still horrible tasting brew.

and I don't even know if I can return it without the packaging but he can't stand the toxic smell and taste of the coffee and neither can I. He said he'd rather spend more for a product which they didn't use such horrible plastic in the product and aluminum instead of stainless steel in the reservoir

I get an odd plastic taste more often then not and I need to eliminate the coffee I used before blaming the machine.

The coffee has a terrible chemical taste and I'm going to throw my machine away.

We have had it for months now and nothing gets rid of the terrible smell and taste in the tank of the machine

The coffee for first round tasted like metallic and plastic very bad

Your espresso will taste disgusting due to the strong, and I mean STRONG plastic/electric taste

This machine produces a cup of coffee which has a bad foreign taste, a combination of plastic, weird metal and burnt oil.

You can't beat it for the price and the great taste of coffee (whether you use expensive or cheap coffee, it always tastes great)So bottom line, if you're looking for an espresso machine that makes great 'espresso style coffee', this is the machine to get for the price.

n’t recommend this machine because it just stopped working for no reason at all.

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

like I had in the 1990’s, wonderful!!
