nice while it lasted July 28, 2008
This coffee-maker was perfect for a household with only one coffee drinker, who wanted only 8 oz of strong coffee. Using a coffee cup as the receptacle saved having to wash the cute (but fragile) little glass pot. The machine gradually malfunctioned and died after about 250 uses, which in my case was a month beyond the 1-year warranty period. Still, I would consider buying the same coffee maker again.

Definitely nice for the price! July 28, 2008
I just bought this espresso machine at a local department store yesterday and managed to whip up quite a lovely cup of cappuccino this evening! It's pretty easy to use, but you absolutely have to make sure that you follow the instructions to a "T" to ensure a good cup of joe as well as preserve the machine (descaling, "priming" before first use, etc...) The brew pot is a bit awkward and the frothing tip is a bit short unless your frothing pitcher is shallow, but I really have no complaints at this point! I'm looking forward to making my own cappuccinos and lattes in the mornings before work instead of shelling out $4+ at the coffee shop or settling for a lackluster cup of cappuccino from a mix in my office cafeteria!

OK Not Great June 6, 2008
Gets the job done, but with some corners cut.

The handle on the decanter was not straight. Could not disassemble and correct the problem without marring the plastic.

The drain is molded into the unit not removable. You have to take the whole unit to the sink to rinse it out.

The lid on the decanter broke only after a few months of use, meaning it does not stay on and will fall off when you're pouring.

The unit does not appear to have as much power as my previous. It needs to heat up about 5 minutes before it is ready.

The plastic cover for the steamer seems to do a good job frothing up the milk.

not the quality manufacturing as in the past June 4, 2008
I've had this brand and model for more than ten years. It can make excellent expresso and latte. But the manufacturing quality is now pretty poor. The gasket where the coffee sets sputters and spits water. The selection knob is not so accurate, I have to adjust it so the spring inside is working. Same product but probably made in China and so the quality is very poor.
But then it is still better than some of the other low end brands for comperable $$. And it doesn't cost $600. I suppose you could capture that in a year if you bought all your previous coffees at Starbucks.

Very Happy with Purchase May 30, 2008
This frother is excellent and all that I hoped that it would be. I would highly recommend it to others.
