[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This espresso maker is easy to use and has a convenient milk frother unit that is easy to clean. However the water refill sensor doesn't function properly. Every time I turn the machine on, whether the water compartment is full or near empty, the refill light comes on and I can't do anything until I slide the tank off and put it back in place. For the money I spent on it, I'd expect not to have any issues at all.

I just simply love it, it's easy to use and the result is wonderful, every morning I start my day with a coffee or a cappuccino made by this fantastic machine. Like everything that you care about, it needs some cleaning and maintenance on daily/weekly/monthly bases. but all are easy and worth it. highly recommended.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Great coffee maker! I was looking for something to replace my Nespresso with a machine that does lattes with the option for beans and grinds
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This was a great investment if you want Barista drinks at home and for plain coffee it's fantastic and the milk frother works well for Latte's turning out coffee cafe drinks every time. Easy to refill water tank and easy to clean used coffee grounds too.
This machine can make a variety of great coffee drinks from espresso to just coffee and makes them all well. However I thought I had a purchased a dud because it would grind beans start the brewing process but no coffee would appear. The machine would just shut itself off. After some troubleshooting turned out the problem was the water filter that was included. I have to regularly 'reset' the filter which is annoying and ends up wasting coffee. When the machine works it works well and makes very good coffee at this price point I would certainly expect that just hoped for a little less grief.
The machine is easy to use, but for only two things the use of powdered coffee; it is not intuitive enough, and the steaming of the milk is ok but can be better.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] You can do the steamed milk alone by pausing, yet it still grinds the beans and is a waste. I want to be able to have frothed milk by itself. We have to empty the tray often. We drink a lot of espresso drinks. And ive not mastered ground coffee yet. The milk frother is my main issue.
