I loved the idea of the espresso machine, but couldn’t make it work for me. It spit coffee and water all over, and I couldn’t get the brother to work like I needed it to. Sadly, I had to return it.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Love this product. Fits well on coffee bar! Saves time and money making coffee at home! Easy to use great streamer/ frothier!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This machine has been impressing me by the day. The only two issues I have, sometimes the coffee is squirting out from the top and I can’t still not figure out the frothing side. I will eventually master the frothing, but concerned on why is the coffee is leaking from the top of the espresso insert. The coffee taste has been amazing. The one and two shots are sized to perfection. As a beginners machine, I would highly recommend it.
Not really an espresso machine. Splatters water everywhere. Not anything like the espresso machines I've had before. Like that it can handle a variety of cup sizes. But that's not enough to offset poor operation. Sending to Goodwill.
I bought this Expresso maker after my trip from Italy. It is a great machine. I love having my Cappuccinos first and c then my expresso 3 pm. It's a beautiful and easy-to-use machine.
It makes yummy coffee. Overall I say it's a solid machine and look forward to using it for a long time to come. The double shot button at times does not cause the machine to go. I have to turn it off and on a couple of times but then it works. It may be something with me as opposed to the machine though. The frother works great as well and I'm very pleased.
