Great Espresso Bar, BUT...

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Cuisinart Espresso machine is good, but not perfect. Let's start with the positives: delivers a consistent great grind for espresso from the whole bean holder, large water reservoir for multiple brews, solid construction with high-quality materials, and produces excellent foam and steamed water from the frother. However, there are a few drawbacks: frother tends to splash a lot, and the machine has a sizable footprint, taking up more space than many new competitors
Pros: Great espresso grind

Delicious Espresso at home!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is another absolute hit by Cuisinart. This espresso bar and machine is not only easy to use, it makes just about any drink you can imagine. The instruction manual actually has delicious recipes to try, heads up. I love how easy it is to use and there really is nothing better than fresh grind coffee. I personally made myself an iced beverage and my husband made himself a cappuccino. Both were delicious and so much cheaper than going to a coffee shop. I highly recommend this to anyone who is looking for an espresso machine, this is an all in one and it is fairly compact. Another win by Cuisinart!

Okay, so after having this machine for a couple of weeks I’m going to make a Pro / Con list so that my thoughts on the Cuisinart Espresso Bar Grind & Brew Espresso Machine are clear and concise!
Pros:
-BEAUTIFUL aesthetic machine
-Able to grind fresh whole beans, with bean storage at top
-Espresso comes out smooth and tasty
-Holds A LOT of water in the reservoir
-Has a warming plate at the top to keep your cup warm before brewing
-Easy to brew/follow instructions
-Easy setup and maintenance
-Auto shut-off after not being used for 30 minutes
-Pieces have their own storage tray within the drip tray which is convenient
-Fits nicely on my coffee bar next to my Keurig and coffee accessories
-There is a COLD button for ICED DRINKS that actually dispenses your brew at room temperature, it’s amazing

Cons:
-Reservoir kept leaking into drip tray until I brewed the first cup of espresso (no leak so far after that but I am keeping watch)
-Machine is noticeably on (not necessarily loud but you can hear something going on) when heating up and brewing
-Using the steaming/hot water wand takes a bit getting used to especially if you have never used one
-If you have small children like me, KEEP THIS MACHINE AWAY AT ALL TIMES! It is big, hot, and scary for little ones I don’t even want to imagine if they got a hold of it
