Great Machine for Beginners July 20, 2008
I like to drink a latte daily, but at nearly $4 a pop it was getting to be quite a pricey habit. After performing a lot of research on machines, and keeping my budget of ~$350 in mind, I decided upon the Cuisinart and couldn't be happier.

Having never made my own espresso I was looking for a simple but quality machine -- the Cuisinart is exactly that, and even comes with an instructional CD for us newbies. After only a couple uses I have this down to an art, and enjoy a delicious latte every day.

I read through the current reviews, and haven't had any of the problems people have described (i.e. leaking water reservoir, "exploding" grounds). The steam wand is a little long, and the warming tray isn't overly effective, but for the cost and the quality of the product these are minor inconveniences at worst. A nice crema is produced, the steaming wand works well, and it's pretty easy to clean.

I highly recommend this machine. It's actually a pragmatic buy... ~$35/month making my own latte vs. ~$100/month purchasing in stores!

Great for the price July 16, 2008
I love this Espresso Maker. It works great and makes great espresso. The only problem I have had was that some parts were missing when I received it.

Nice froth, but filter basket leaks March 31, 2008

Nice shot, nice crema, but the filter basket leaked despite all troubleshooting efforts. That was annoying and messy enough for me to give up on this machine.

Good machine March 12, 2008

I have used this espresso machine severals times. I am still learning but I am pleased with the results so far. My lattes aren't hot enough which I found out was due to my steamed milk being cold. Other than that everything works well.

Great Coffee, but Have a Backup Plan Too! March 3, 2008
9 out of 9 found this review helpful

I like my coffee. In fact, I freely admit to being a coffee addict. And before I say anything else, let me say that this machine makes great coffee. With the right beans and a bit of practice, you can beat the taste of any coffee shop with this.

That said, I am glad, I still have my french press, because sometimes this machine decides to be difficult. It usually starts if you tamp your coffee too hard. The coffee maker is then unable to pass water through and ceases up completely. Make sure you watch what you are doing, so you can stop it from trying if necessary. Now, the real problem with this is, that you will have a very hard time removing the basket, as long as there is still pressure inside. It takes somewhere between 5-10 minutes at least, before the pressure has gone down enough, that you can pry the basket off (watch for exploding coffeegrounds, if you didn't wait long enough).

To make matters worse, the machine seems to have a hard time recovering after an incident such as this. It seems to get even pickier, with what it will accept, and it will be easier to resort to the backup plan, and let the espresso machine recover.

I would rate the EM-100 a 5/5, if it weren't for this problem. I hardly apply any strength, when I tamp my coffee, and I still run into trouble from time to time. In fact, the first one I had got so picky, that I took it back to the store and exchanged it.

To minimize my risk, I take great care to clean every bit of the coffee maker after each use. If you can live with this issue, the coffee that comes out of this machine really is to die for.
