Fortunately, I was near a sink and threw my hand under cold water immediately

It is a defected one and not working at all, hot water keeps leaking out from the pump, and it was kind of dangerous, no coffee coming out from the outlet head.

It is the perfect size for a shot of espresso, but if like me you use the lungo setting for a fuller cup, then there is no way that handle that short of just adding some hot water to the cup.

I make frothed milk, which is hot, so I don't bother running hot water through it first

It is difficult to clean as water and espresso get caught inside and do not fully flush out

The compartment that holds water won't seal correctly and every time I tighten it, it pops open and leaks hot water everywhere.

It keeps leaking all the time , can’t be cleaned , & needs 2 days before packing it in the bag in order to take out all the water inside & stops leaking .

If the water is even slightly overfilled, scalding water leaks on to your hands while pumping

I think water stays trapped in the device in some sort of an airlock and then leaks out over time, but when I move around with the Minipresso, after having used it, emptied the pod and remaining water from the device

The last round of Nespresso shots I made the water wasn't as hot and the unit didn't leak onto my hands

Needs super hot water

The design has multiple o-rings included in the main pressurized capsule (it wouldn't function at all without them), so why in the world wouldn't you throw a couple o-rings on the hot water pot and the spout-cover to make them air-tight

so it leaked some hot water out onto my hand

He can make it using hot water from the coffee machine in his room, if he doesn’t have a microwave and it comes out really hot

The hot water just squirted on my fingers from the place where the water reservoir connects to the rest of the coffeemaker

As an ex-barista, having hot water leak all over my hands doesn't get to me too much, but honestly I wish I did more research before buying.

The warnings about being careful with the hot water are justified.
